Aftec thie . election of the clerk , the returns from the several presbyteries were / ordered *; Wjhich contain a number of particulars which it is a part Of thai eferida duty . fa arrange . —These are all inserted in the minutes . There a * ie in 'Sll > fifteenpresbyteries , and we find enough in their returns to conybtebusiof tlieir adherence to old forms ; but we could not help being amused ;> atl observing that the one first read was that of the Presbytery of B ^ goa ^ jwyeh stated , that the Rev . Henry Montgomery , of Dunmurry ,
was ! i&bMqderator for . the next twelve months ; that they had licensed John JBoutenaiad IL T . Stannus to preach the gospel ( in the first of whom we remgtih $ the newly-chosen minister of Park Chapel , near Liverpool , and the . gentleman who sent to the Christian Moderator the interesting letter of Dr . Wiindei ^ disc o ve red in the archive s of Renshaw-street congregation , Liverpool ); and that they had received under their care a student with letters'diuaissory from the Presbytery of Antrim , that body with which some members
of the Synod deny any connexion whatsoever . What must have been the feelings of some mejnbers when this return was reading ? We are not accurately versed in the distinctions which are made between the Synod and the Jnterloquitur , as it is called ; but in the proceedings of the latter we find Ibr « , Bquce appointed a member of the Committee for managing * the Widows ' fwdi which is surely quite as dangerous aft having MivPqr * er in the office of deiik * We should have supposed the worthy ¦ Doctor wpuki have been deemed too heretical to be trusted with the interest of the widows and
orphans of so many orthodox divines . There are , however , nbne . of the forty alarmists on the Committee , or vve should dread the consequences of their meeting this noted Arian , even on money transactions , though some of them did not object to follow him to the tprone of their sovereign some five or six years , ago . After these returns were read ^ and the place of meeting
fixed for the next year , Mr . Cooke brought forward the motion which led to the interesting debate recorded ii * our number for October , a debate which occupied not less than sixteen IiQiirs , and was conducted with great ability There was , much variety of opinion as to the terms in which the resolution should be expressed , and that which was finally carried we now anneic fr-otn tfae minutes :- ^ Th ^ t whereas , some members of the ; Synod have made
