pieces of nine needle breech-loading rifles
He communicated with the police, who
were on the spot, and succeed in picking up
eight of them. They could discern one
more at least, but at so great depth in the
river that they have to await the ebb of the
tide to take it. They are of kind used
about nine or ten years ago, but no idea can
be formed as to the time they have lain in

titions in favor of revision were presented,
and reports read. The following notices of
motion were given: Mr.. Barlow Smythe:
'That the General Synod having regard to
the result of what the Lord Primate of Eng
land has publicly called a conspiracy in
that Church. feel it necessary to pronounce
the opinion that so-called retreat marked
by rule of silence, by the practice of auric-
ular' confession, by the private administra-
ton of the Lord Supper to the clergy only,
and the use of such books as The Priest in
Absofution,' are proceedings inconsistent
with, and opposed to, the Protestant char
acter of the Church of Ireland" Mr.. Arthur
D. Forster: ''That in the service for the or
dering of priests for the paragraph be-
ginning, Receive the Holy Ghost the fol-
lowing be substituted: Almighty God our
Heavenly Father grant unto thee the gift of
the Holy Spirit for the office and work of
priest in our church, now committed unto
thee by the imposition of our hands, and be
thou faithful dispenser of the Word of
God and His holy sacraments, in the name
of the Father and theHoly Spirit Amen"
The Right Hon. W. Brook: "Whereas, in
our services of baptism the word 'regener-
ate is used to express the spiritual effect of
that sacrament, and there is much contro-
versy in the Anglican Churches as to its true
meaning, and many attached members of
our Church are panied in conscience by its
use, in consequence of which we'll qualified
candidates for holy orders have been re-
PEELED from our communion, the peace of
our Church disturbed and its unity endan-
gered; Resolved, That committee of tf-
teen be appointed to take these evils into
consideration, and to inquire whether any
and what means can be suggested for their
remedy, and to report thereon to the Synod
in the session of 1879" These three no
tices give promise of long and exciting de-
bates, that respecting the retreat especially.
