the large room, at the Golden Lion Inn, Liverpool. M.
HARDIE having been called to tl.e chair, that Gentle.

meeting—viz. to take into consideration the recent set•
tence of deposition passed by the Presbytery of Glms•
gow against their worthy Clergyman, the Rev. ltfr.
'feint, and what steps were necessary to be taken by
his friends in consequence thereof. A number of reso-
lutions were then proposed, and unanimously agreed
to, stating that it was the opinion of the meeting that
the sentence of the Presbytery of Glasgow was glaringly
and manifestly unjust ; expressing their high estem
and regard for the Rev. Mr. Twos, as; an able and
faithful Minister of the Gospel ; their decided and us'
qualified approbation of the mild, dignified, andChns•
tian conduct eakibited by him at the bar of the Presby
tery of Glasguw ; their determination to withdraw froin
the Rodney-street congregation, not from any ill will
which they bore towards those who originated the pro
ceedings against the Rev. Mr. Tams, but from a desire
to promote the glory of GOD and the best interests of
their immortal souls ; and also their determination N
form themselves into a dist;nct congregation, under the
Ministry of the Rev. Mr. THOM, and chat, in the mean
time, the Music-hall, in 80ld-street, should be taken s$
a temporary place of worship.
The Rev. Mr. Thou was present on the occasion, and
delivered a very (reeling and eloquent address to the
meeting. Mr. Samuel. M'Cuta.ecer, and several other
Gentlemen, also addressed the meeting on occasion of
