amount already invested; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future

THE ANTI-STATE-CHURCH
CONFERENCE.
On Tuesday delegates from all parts of England, Ireland, and
Scotland, met at the Crown and Anchor, Strand, forming a
Convention for the purpose of considering the best means of
obtaining the severance of °Church' and State, and to adopt
measures for the furtherance of that object. Upwards of
1,200 delegates were present; amongst whom were Dr. Bow-
ring, M.P. ; Mr. Sharman Crawforsl, XP. ; Mr. J. S. Tre-
lawney, M.P. ; Mr. Joseph Sturge, Dr. Epps, Mr. St. D'Arcy
Irvine, Rev. Dr. Pye Smith, Rev. Dr:Young, Rev. Dr. A.
Thompson, Rev. Dr. Campbell, Rev. Dr. M•Farlane, Rev. Dr.
Perry, Rev. Dr. Ritchie, Rev. Messrs. Carlile, Ackworth,
Brake, Eckett, Mursell, Mirams, Overbury, &c. A large
number of ladies were on the platform.
At eleven o'clock the Rev. Dr. Cox proposed, and the Rev.
Dr. Young seconded, that the chair should be taken by the
Rev. John Burnet, of Camberwell. The Rev. Gentleman
took his seat amid loud and continued cheering.
The Rev. J. P. MUESELL, of Leicester, moved that the fol-
lowing gentlemen act as secretaries to the conference during
its sittings :—Rev. Dr. Cox, Rev. John Kennedy, of Aber-
deen , • Mr. Edward Miall, and Mr. Josiah Condor.

The Rev. Dr. CAMPBELL seconded .the motion, which was
carried.

Business and finance committees haVing been appointed,
The Rev. Dr. Cox read a paper detailing the circumstances
which had led to the convening of the conference, and jus-
tifying the movement which the Dissenters had considered it
desirable to make.

(At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Sharman Crawford,
M.P., entered the room, and was received with applause.)
Dr. Cox resumed—A blow was lately aimed at the inter-
ests of Protestant Nonconformity, in the shape (4 an edu-
cation scheme, which its author termed an olive branch, but
which was soon discovered to be a rod.—(Laughter and
cheers.) The spirit of the Dissenters was aroused, and that
obnoxious Bill wassiguallz.liefeate4.l, In the inactivity and'
carelessness of the Dissenters originated Sir James Graham's
Bill. If they had been up and doing that attempt at crooked
legislation would never have been made ; such an attempt to
crush their liberties would never have been thought of. What
was it such objectors would wait for? Was it until a clerical
agency should be established, aided by the aristocracy, to
put down Dissent ? Was it until servants were dismissed and
tradesmen ruined on account of their religious principles ?
Was it until fresh prosecutions were commenced for church-
rates, or until star-chambers and inquisitions were estab-
lished? Were they to wait for these? No, perish the idea.
Now was the time to make an aggressive movement on the
Church. The ineffectiveness of a mere defensive position
was apparent.—(Hear, hear.) The Reformation, and even
Christianity itself, had been obtained by aggressive measures
The Church and State question was the great question of the
day, and the stand-still policy would never do. The stream
was too strong for them to remain inactive; if they did not
resist it they would be borne down by the current. The Rev.
Gentleman concluded by urging on the conference the
necessity of decided steps being taken. With union on
their flags, they would soon have to write victory on their
records.—(Loud cheers.)
Dr. Cox, having concluded his paper, stated that as far as
Parliamentary grants (the Regium Donum) were concerned,
he thought some steps should be taken. For some years he
had been a distributor of those grants, but from that moment
he declared he would have nothing more to do with them.
This announcement was received with deafening cheers.
Mr. SILtRITAN CRAWFORD' M.P., then rose to address the
meeting, and spoke at considerable length.
Mr. CHILDs, of Bungay, moved that the paper read by the
Rev. Dr. Cox should be entered upon the records of the con-
ference.

The Rev. W. BROCK, of Norwich, having seconded the
resolution, it was put to the meeting, and carried nem. dis.
The Rev. Dr. 1 ouroa, of Perth, moved a resolution affirm-
ing that the conference was not intended to be a demonstra-
tion of Nonconformist strength, but that. its object was the
disenthralment of religion from the influence of secular
control. The resolution also affirmed that a mere defen-
sive policy would be unavailing in the present position of
affairs. _ _

Mr. ROBINSON, of Kettering, seconded the resolution, which
was agreed to.
Dr. BOWRING, 111. P., felt it a duty and privilege to be pre-
sent that day to express his cordial concurrence in the ob-
jects of the conference, and to offer his co-operation.—
(Cheers.) He hoped the convention would sow the good
seed of religious liberty, and that they would see it grow up
into universal religious emancipation, and that their children
might rest under its shade—the shade produced by the nobi-
lity of religious truth.
A paper on the efficiency of the voluntary principle, written
by Dr. Wardlaw, of Glasgow, was read by the Rev. J. Car-
lile ; after which the Rev. Dr. Pye Smith, the Rev. John
Jordan Davis' and Griffith Evans, Esq., addressed the con-
ference, which then adjourned.
