A SMOKING SYNoD.-A correspondent o
the Weekly Review. in . notice Of the re
cent meeting Of the Reformed Secession
Synod Of Holland, says: "The picture
which we witne ssed on our reception in
the Synod was something which, I am
sure, could not be seen out of Holland. -
AS We entered the place Of worship in
which We had preached the evening be.
fore, fumes of moko darkened the Dir. A
long table stretched along the place where
the women had sat, which was lined on
either side by ministers and elders, while
at the head Of this there was transverse
table, at which sat the moderator, the
professors, and other official men. Every
man was smoking, or preparing to smoke.
The moderator held pipe in one hand
and a wooden hammer, with which to
call attention, in the other. The clerk
wrote, and puffed too. While on the Ia.
Die, from one extremity to the other, box.
es Of lucfer matches, plates Of tobacco,
ink bottles, paper, pens, books, &C., were
mingled in most admired confusion, a
corps de reserve of long pipes being fixed
in an ingeniously- constructed wooden
frame, lest the business of the synod
should come to pause through want Of
the usual solatium. The audience stood
on either side smoking. with look Of
placid and dreamy attention." The cor
respondent adds that the proceedings
we're neverthS less carried on in q most
business like manner.
