The address is full, consise, and refers to several important matters of County legisâ€" lation, The prospects of a bountiful harâ€" vest vory fittingly receive notice, and the financial condition of the County is said to be good. ‘The attention of the Council is also directed to the practice of economy; and certminly,it is necessary that in our loâ€" | teachers have a elcar definition within which the range of their teaching shall be regulated, and that it is out of the question to suppose that they are to go into a genâ€" eral investigation and diseussion of matters before the public and the class which tend to unseitle the minds of the people, at all events, so long as the Confession of Faith remains what it is. infancy, that any dogmatic deliverance eould be arrived at. However, the motion of Dr. Beith, which was carried, gives no uncertsin sound as to the duty of teachers in the premises. As Dr. Begg put it, TC 277. DSmil was carried by a majority of seven, in a house of 591 members, over the motion proposed by Sir Henry Moncrieff. According to this finding of the Assembly, the Free Church is not committed to any wpinjon upon the points at issue, shd inâ€" deed it is mapossible in view of the fact that the retence of Biblical critism is yet in its Smith, in consequence of which he has lost the confidence of the Church, ans canâ€" not with advantuge, continue to exercise the functions of his office, that thereâ€" fore he should cease to hold the Chair of Hebrew in the College. In amendment Dr. Beith moved that as sufficient grounds have not been shown for the support of a charge of heresy, that the libel be with drawn, but that in view of the unguarded and incomplete statements given forth by Prof, Bmith on certain points of Biblical eriticism that he be admonished as to his sonduct in the future, and further, that professors be reminded that they are not set for the propagating of their own opinâ€" | ions, but for the maintainance of doctrine | and truth as held by the Free Church.| Several other amendments wers brought I forward, but on the vote being taken that | of Dr. Beith was carried by a majority of| 2 nsc t clicdic d 400C the last four years this case has oceupied a large share of the attention of the Asâ€" sombly, and has excited great interest throughout the Church generally. 1t came «p on the preseunt ocecasion by protest and apâ€" peal against the decis:on of the Presbytery of Aberdeen in reference to side issues, when it was found that "a very general feeling prevailed that the settlement of the whole question should be longer postponed. Accordingly a motion was proposed by Sir Henry Monecrieff to the effect that the proâ€" cess of the libel be stopped at its present stage, but that in view of the anziety and ularm occasioned by the views of Professor THE WARDEN‘S ADDRESS, THE CASE OF PROFESSOR SMITH BEFORE THE FREE CHURCH ASSEMBLY. This now celebrated case was disposed of, at all events for the present, at thelmeeting of the Free Church Assembly at Edinburgh ‘ last May. It arose out of doubts exprossâ€" ed some time ago by Professor Smith, of Aberdeen College, in regard to the inspiraâ€" «tion and authenticity of certain portions of Scripture. These were at first supposed to be of a very general character and as secriâ€" ously affecting Divine truth as usually reâ€" ceived, but by a series of explanations the amended libel agrinst Prof. Smith bas ‘ heen narrowed down to his holding opinâ€" dons as to the construction and historical character of the Book of Deuteronomy f which are inconsistent with the Confession } of Faith as held by the Free Church.

It will therefore be your duty to consider whether this ‘Council, withâ€" out a special act of Parliament, has the power to relinquish a large portion of these roads, and also to consider whether the Connty is not still responsible for any seeiâ€" dent which might happen on them.
