---.Yn, OF N. @. The minutes of Yesterday were
read and adopted, after some conversation as tc
the testimonials OF the Bishop elect of Mississippi
:. A Message was receiyed from the House Of
Bishops, that they had passed Canon on the effec
OF SUSPENSIONS, from the Ministry on jurisdiction
which was referred to the Standing COMMITTEE or
Canons.
Judge BRnarEN then moved that the House pro-
coed 10 the unfinished business OF yesterday.
Judge CHAMBERs was forced by the course which
these proceedings had taken, 10 attempt the dis
charge OF a necessary duty. All other business
even the presentation of Reports were excluded by
two engrossing questions he protested against be-
ing thus prohibited from the current business of the
House; he therefore offered motion that the SUBJ
iects be postponed until some definite time, say IL
O'Clock, TO take up morning busIRess
Judge BEERIEN trusted the House would refuse to
postpone the question now, when The nature Of the
question involved IN the motion is considered He
expected refusal from the natural love of Justice
and the christian feeling Of the House. The unfin.
ished business OF yesterday, did not rela.e merely
to question OF general principle, but to one which
directly involved the character, and the hitherto
unblemished reputation Of Minister of this
Ghcrch. Every feeling Of justice, as between man
as Christians, demanded that the House should no
longer hold in agony and torture the individual
connected and directly involved in the Unfinished
business OF the House. If the object was indef.
tons, he appealed to the Christian justice Of the
House to decide the question at once and put thai
body at peace: He prayed them by their regard to
every principle Of justice, no longer to delay ac-
ton he believed the subject, iftaken up, could be
placed in such light, as to allay all difficulties
Judge CHAMBERS had no disposition to obsruct
it, after he had offered resolution which he Deem
ed al important he therefore offered, by consent
Resolved, That the House of Bishops concur
