PHY.SIOLOGY.---P,of,fssor MALACItAOWiE, of
Pa-
a who has long employed hiniscit on the com-
parative anatomy of the brain, has fount(
the corpus callaram and pineal gland in seve-
ral birds. One discrery of importance he
has made : this relates to the squeture of the
brain, and its influence on the inte►lectual (a-
cuities. The lamina', of the brain he has observ-
ed to vary in number from 600 to 7SO ;
but in the brain of an Went he discovered only
324, and in alit of a dumb person 362. Ilene,. he
infers, that the strength of the intelleveai taculties
is in proportion to the number of larnine ;he
brain. Mr. C. Bonnet,of Geneva, who correspond-
ed with the Professor on this sulje,:r,
the premises, denies the conclusion ; and sup-
poses, that the number of lamina i❑ the brain is
increased by the exercise of the intellatual
fa-
culties.

objected to the admissibility ,of !the articles ,pro-
poonded, on Are ground that no act of
had been committed. He levelled that a'dispute
of such :an iiiipleasatit. tic lire srioold have come

'ot table. On Dr. Wilson's in,• and,
ahing the. chair - (ait.he had,irdert in .theaegular
hahit of' doing ;for -two ,years preceding),
:VP Beth opposed-his addressing the Meetinx, hr,
interrupting bun in the .act :so .doing..; upon,
which -Dr. Wilson ;got and left the,room.7-
'There was no iosinnatioo that Mr. M'Beth lied
conducted himself Kith any intemperabee,
al-
thottgtt the citation set forth—" Such conduct
being indecent, and,nobecorniug and su‘sr'et sive t'it
the civil, and ecclesiaitical; of this realm."
This was a broad question; however, and of
importance to all_Vestries and Clergymen through-
Out the kingdom, claiming a's an absolute right to
preSide at Vestry Meetings ; that right to be en-
torcyd by ecclesiastical censures, in the nature of
a criminal proceedingigainst thepartiesiesisting,
or denying its'authority- The Learned Advocate
contended there was 110 authority for easy such
Absolute right ; but that it should be lett to be
settled as a matter of courtesy and committee, by
the majority of parishioners. The law ,had ex-
pressly provided; .in the absence of ,the Clergy-
man, that the parishioners should proceed to elect
one of themselves to take the Chair ; for that the
parishioners who attended were all on an equal
fooling. In support of this doctrine, he cited the
case of Strange v. Reynolds, wherein Lord Hard-
' wicke had concurred, that the Clergyman had no
right to preside, hut as chosen by the parishioners.
Dr. LuswiNgToN followed on the same side,—
He observed, it was incumbent on the Rector to
! shew, first, that he hed that absolute, riiht ; se-
coodly,.,that. to interrupt or prevent hiS exercis-
ing it was a crontoa eu e ; and t„oty, that it

ogs, gave a poser to 'elect outif,dt ;lite lnitabi
; that Act, however, excepted the City of
'T,Oelion as to its provisions, and therefore was
not in point, herds it might be referred to by way
'of analogy'. lie contended Dr. Wilson; h.ad ntisj
taken 'his remedy 'against Mr. AP Beth -fur an act
done in the oto't ,peaceable manuerv- Had it
,been an act of brawling or outrage towards the
clergyman on such occasion, (lieu only would the
+irtsdiction of this Court have legally applied.
The right of the clergyman, he contended, was
merely the right of any person chosen by a ma-
jority, which gave him the tight only of a casting
rote.
' Pnrwmone, for the Rev. Dr. Wilson,_ ap•
pealed to the Conrt,.what the consequences would
be its this Country it the Clergyman was to be
Alois taken away from his being of right and pre-
sidency the head of the parish ? This would
be to deprive him of those functions from which
all regularity' and order must flow. He was the
settled and stationary President on all such occa-
sions ; from the very term Rector he was the Go-
vernor and Director of the pails!), controlling all
matters transacted by the parishioners. The
Learned Ad.Vocate cited Fortescue, Burns, arid
Pridednx, in support of this doctrine,
and ob
served, that CODS tilt lug his authority, character,
.-
dignity,and
unless the Clergyman Was as a matter
of course to sit as President, the rcsult would be,

of very general importance, he should take
time to deliberate before giving judgmenr.. The -
