and I quoted Tota\u2019s own words, when [ last adverted to these subjects.If, then, a case of eecessity will not be sustained, and if a ratification caunot be obtained, did the assacistion, by sending home all the documents relative to the case, for the approval of the General Assembly, only mean to amuse the goad people of this country: and are they now to he content with it, as it stands, without any ratification or approval whatever ?* Preachers are not to go out of the bounds of the Church, unless called to a particular congregation in another country.\u201d * Observe,\u201d says Tora, * do not go, unless called ; but if called, the conclusion is vbvious\u2014you may go.\u201d His friend, then, went without being called, and consequently wus irregularly orduined.This subject tany therefore be cousidered at rest, till ptherwise disposed of by the General Assembly, The congregation at Halifax hid declared themselves members of the established church of Scotland, before a certain clergyman had any thing to do with them, which hecan\u2019ensily prove, à a.copy of that declaration is now in his possession.My knowledge of the concerns of St.John's Chapet, Quebec, was prior to my acq ain.lance with the association, and altogether inde- pendant of it, | tirat heard of it in London from à Mr.Croshjo, to whoin the situation was at one tune offered, und Dr.Chalmers afterwards made he more paticulurly acquainted with all the circumstances of the case.| can also produce those letters whicl were written by Dr.Harkness and the Association, to Dr.Chalimers, which will Mate than substuntiate alt 1 have advanced upon x e snbject.: Although the Pastor of the St.Peter street Church heard all Dr.Harkness had to say for himself upon the subject, when he afterwards ound it necessary to revert to these matters, 18ast he should imagine he had betrayed his con- dence, he wrote to Dr.Harkness, aad obtained 15 permission to make what use lie thought fit, 9f those conversations he-had bad with him, be- ore any thing was advanged upon the subject, and a verbal permission of a similar nature was Also obtained from ull the ather leading clhiorac- less.Several honorable gentlemen of this city, Wwever, were not so scrapulous, with regurd 10 a stranger, who lately came among them.ne of the Members of the Asäociation, in ochiel Church, assigned the sume reagans for hot assiatiog Mr.MéLaurin at lis sacrament, Sachi have already stated ;

the other of four companies to be called the depot or reserve battalions.The lat- tar were to bie kept ut home as n reserve to be in readiness when vequiced for foreign service, By this mode every foreign station would Le supported by un effective establishment, and a per- maaent reserve would be maintained ut home lo support them in case of casually or emergency.Another advantage to be obtained frota the new arvangement was this :\u2014Ît now happened that when an officer ou a foreign station became ill, and obtained jeuye of absence, if lis illness continued long, Ke was under the neceesily of going oi lialf-pay br exchange.It wus proposed to de away with this compulsion, and to ullow the officer to go into depot and send out # heulthy officer in his place.[a the samé way the private would have ain opportunity of doing depot duty when obliged 16 réturn hume in consegnence of illness, | \u2018I'his arrangement would be attended with the advautage that in case of war the augmentation of the army could Ue effected with cheapness apd rapidity.Part of the arrangement was to disband the Veteran Battalions.It was proper, uuder all the circumstances to permit them to retire to the enjoyment of quiet.\u2014 Ie concluded by moving the mnount.This following votes were then proposed and agreed 16\u2014478,000/.for defraying the charges of his Majesty's Lind Forces for Great Britain, and 185,2911, for breland\u20141,753,411/.Os.1d.fur the same purpose for Great Britain, and 646,- 9631, 18s.4 (or Ireland, from the 25th March to the 24ih December, 1825-93,2701.17s.1d.to defray the charge of the General Staff of Great Britain, exclusive of Indin, and 24,5811.for Ireland\u2014118,4701.13: 10d.for defraying the charges of the Officers of the Public Department of Great Britain aud Ireland- -13,270L.for the Medical Department of Great Brituin, and 5,188/, 17s.for Wreland\u2014128,000/.for the Volunleer Corps of Great Britain, 19,3050.12s.for ireland\u201427,338(.for Recruiting Troops and Companies for the Tast India Service\u201413,189Lfur the Royal Military College.vo In the Army Pay of Geveral Officers, not Colonels, 151,322], 16s.3d.\u2014for- Garrison on\u2019 Foreign Stations 29,832/.6s.10:.-Full pay for retired Officers \u2018131 OUO/.Half-pay and Military Allowances 800,00ul.\u2014Foreign Hall-pay 109,- 7101.-In pensioners of Chelsea and Kilmninham Hospitals, 45,772/.2s.10d.\u2014Out-pensions of Chelsea Hospital -1,240,913/.-\u2014Royal Militar Asylum 24,834.\u2014Widow\u2019s .Pensions 125,369.\u2014Compassionate List 128,608/.\u2014Superannua- tion\u2019 Allowances 49,996].\u2014Exchequer Feeshave heen Inidiupon the table of \u201c4° MiécriLANEOUS DUTIES.Two paper} have heer ;
