pendence . They were only separating themselves frotn the corruptions of the Synod , and nrtt from" the "Synod itself . It had been stated that the Presbytery of Arniae ^ had departed fro nt their duty in ordaininga noted Arian . He is therperson alluded to- ^ he did not care what they might denominate hilii * He openly avows that he does not believe in the
doctrine of the Trini ^; that wiFl not make him withhold the right hand of fellowship frotn his brother' wfoo differs from him . He takes his name from no man—he is a Christian , H £ regarded the Saviour as his Prophet , his King . Do rhose believe in tlie sufficiency of a Saviour Who say that lie carniot save us ? Let them callusHeretite , Separatists ; we
glory in the appellation i if it be because we separate" iVoutf ; those who bow the knee to fiuman authorrity . We acknowledge Christ to be the Head of the church , and that he " wa s aippoibted by the Father to be the Savioar of the world . There may be a difference of doctrine aiiiong as , but whosoever regards the Sacred Scripture as their rule of faith and
practice , they are our brethren—that is the only rule laid down by our Saviour and his disciples for our guidance . Our brethreu in Eta gland warmly sympathize with us- ^ -they Will co-operate with us in our exertions to maintain the right of private judgment . We have the example of North America , where a great number of individuals call themselves Christians
who acknowledge Christ alone as their master , and are determined to bear no other name . Our numbers , he said , would increase if the same spirit continued to animate them . Let them take the example of the primitive apostles , who acknowledged one God , one faithwho were guided by one heart , one soul , one mind . Let it \ ye said when people speak of us , Behold how these Christians love one another ! To ali who > believe in
Him , his spirit will be with them to the end of the world . ' > i ; ¦ i ¦ > - ' ¦ : - r ¦ ' i ' ' ( To be ' continued . )

occasion . Some rrifenroer ' s of the Established and * of the Roman Catholic Churches joined the party ; ; tit being distinctly understood , that tlvis mark of attention was not intended- to express any concurrence in the peculiar religious opinions of the reverend gentlemen
assembled ; but only to express towards them the sympathy generally felt for the persecutions and hardships to which they have been subjected , and an approval of the manly and conscientious manner in which the Remonstrant ministers have acted . The arrangements made for the accommodation of the
dinner party were excellent ; and , considering that the entertainment was given in a part of the country several miles distant from any town , we were astonished at the admirable regularity and good order observed during the entire day . A very large tent was fitted up in a field ,
inside of which two tables ran the entire leugth , and the end table was occupied by the Chairman and the guests . There was a profusion of all tlie dishes of the season ; and a degree of elegance prevailed in laying out the tables , which would not have done discredit to the first
hotel in Ireland . We never saw so good order preserved , to the very last , in any assembly of an equal extent : not the slightest accident occurred ; and every one departed expressing his delight at the manner iu which the whole business was conducted . Those gentlemen who took such trouble in effecting this , are entitled to great praise ; but if we
appreciate their feelings aright , the best thanks they can receive life * in their own breasts . The Ghair was taken by Dr . Gordon , of Satntfteld ; John How ,. Ai Montgomery , J .
