DUND then rose, in the unavoidable

to move the next

" That the present condition and probable prospects of
the Church of England call loudly upon all church autho-
rities to give every facility for consultation, and upon all
churchmen to make every effort in bringing before assem-
blies, now in common or partial use, the more pressing
necessities of thechurch in a definite and convenient form."
It seemed to him that something ought to be done, and
the committee had felt it desirable that the church autho-

rities should be called on to give every facility for consul-
tation ; and, further, that all churchmen ought to be called
upon to make every effort in bringing before assemblies
now in common or partial use, the more y

ties of the church in a definite and convenient form

thought the laity should co-operate in the diaconal chapter
and the diocesan synods ; but the part which they should
take in them would be a matter for future arrangement.
The clergy would minister the gifts of grace, and the laity
would profit and grow through them.
Lord DE TABLEY expressed his concurrence in the
great principles involved in the resolutions under their
consideration that day. He did not say that he ac-
quiesced in every sentiment or opinion that had been
uttered there that day, or which were laid down in the
pamphlets that had been issued by the committee. lie
believed that the best and also the most legitimate way
of healing the 4ifferences which unhappily prevailed in
the church, and of adapting the church for the high work
which was hers, and enabling her to meet the wants of
the increased and increasing population of these king-
doms, was by the revival of her ancient synods, and by
the reanimation of convocation. He begged cordially to
second the resolution which had been so ably submitted
to them. It was then put from the chair and carried
unanimously.

The Rev. Mr. GILBERT then moved the third re-
solution, which was to the effect—" That the meetings in
behalf of Diocean Synods be for a time suspended at the
discretion of the committee. And that all parties feeling
the vital importance of this subject be reminded that
considerable pecuniary liabilities have been incurred, and
that your financial committee, the Rev. George Gilbert
and the Rev. Ralph Greenside, will be glad to receive the

means of discharging the same."
The Hon. COLIN LINDSAY seconded the resolution.
He was sure they would all be glad to contribute for the
expenses incurred in promoting the great object they all
had in view. He would only express a hope that now
that these meetings were, for a time at least, about to be
closed, they would all endeavour, in their several locali.
ties, to promote the revival of the synodical action of the
Church of England, which he conceived to be the only
mode of adjusting the differences of her members, and of
restoring harmony among them.
The resolution was carried unanimously.

The Rev. CHAIRMAN said that their business had now
been brought to a close, and he could not take leave of
the meeting:without expressing his cordial congratula-
tions to them for the harmony and unanimity with which
the nuestion had been discussed that day r anti ha frvicatail

if circumstances should ever call theem together again,
that they might meet with the same Christian good feel-
ing and good fellowship.
On the motion of the Rev. Mr. BLENKTNSOP, seconded
by the Rev. CECIL WRAY, the thanks of the meeting were
voted to the Rev. Chairman ; and, on the motion of
another gentleman, to the Rev. Mr. Pound, the zealous
secretary. The proceedings were then brought to a close.

THE LATE INVESTIGATION(
AT PLYMOUTH.

THE Rev. Mr. Greaves has addressed the following
letter to the Bishop of Exeter :

" Plymouth, Oct. 18
"MY LORD,—I have received your lordship's letter of

which is due to a communication from my bishop.

__.:ttee appointed at the meeting of clergy and
laymen of the Chnrch of England, held at St. George's
Hall, on Tuesday last, have also addressed a letter to the
bishop, through their chairman, Mr. Solteau, declining to
prosecute Mr. Prynne, on the ground that they have no
hope of effectual redress from the ordinary legal tribunals.
They will, therefore, (continued the lerter,) appeal to
Parliament as being alone competent to afford adequate
relief, and they respectfully decline your lordship's offer
to facilitate the introduction of the case into the Eccle-
siastical Courts. Whilst refusing to prosecute Mr.
Prynne, however, the committee expressly direct me to
inform your lordship that they are prepared, and desirous
to take such steps as shall facilitate the vindication of his
personal character ; and that they are prepared to name
one or more of their members, with authority to make
such admissions, pro forma, as shall enable Mr. Prynne,
if he has not already the power, cheaply and expeditiously
to arraign, before a court of common law, those who took
part in the public meeting, engaging that no other plea
shall be used, or justification set up in the defence, than
the truth of the statements which were then made.

A VENERABLE LOCOMOTIVE.—A New York paper
says :—" The first locomotive used on this continent was
imported from Liverpool, and is still in existence; it has
recently been repaired, and is now running on the Little
Schuylkill Railroad. Its antiquity, and the singular ar-
rangement of the machinery, make it a great curiosity."
