Mr. Fletcher.
Yesterday tho Assoeiati Presbytexy of Loiailon held a meeting at Mil? -lane Chapel, Cannon-street. The Rev. Mil. tAw described to the Presbytery the re- ception which he experienced on Sunday week, when he went, by order of the Synod of Edinburgh, to preach at Albion Chapel. Ile proceeded to the chapel, accompanied by some of the elders of Miles's-lane congregation, and passed through one of the outer doors of she building. Somne men were posted within the door to oppose his pro- gress; thbse, however, the elders 'who accomparnied him pushed aside, and he advanced to a place called the pass or stairs, 'where he found seven men placed, who refused to admit him into the pulpit, and asked him by what autho- rity he came there? He read to them the order of the Clerk of the Synod of Edinburgh; but the men still re- fused to let him pass, and he retired.-This report was ap- proved. Mr. LAW then proposed that Mr. Fletcher should be de- pesedg Anotiher member (Mr. Broadfoot, we believe) con- sidered this too harsli a proceeding, and moved, as an amendment, that a committee should be appointed to wait on Mr. Fletcher, to-get from him signs of genuine repent- ance for his past conduct.-The amendment was agreed to. AMr. TIAssut presented a petition froTm the elders and qleacons of Well-street Chapel, complaining that the speech delivered to the Synod at Edinburgh by M!r. Kircaldy, the delegate from Miles's.lane chapel, contained misrepresenta- tions, and praying -hat the said speech might be taken ilto consideration. After sorme conversation, the petition was withdrawn, on account of some informality whichi attached to it. A Lady, a member of Well-street congregation, present- eda etitson,sgnplaning that the London delegates had stated to the Synod at Edinburgh, that influence had been em77ployed to procure signatures to the petition 'which had been presented by the members of Well-street Chapel, in favour f Mr. Fletcher. No influence had been used to obtain her signature, and from her own observation she believed that no influence 'was em7ployed to procure the signature of any other person. The reading of this petition was followed by some marks of approbation frora the auditory. One of the members of the Presbytery entreated that this might not, be repeated. Neither ruglng (clappinr) nor expressions of applause shouldt be heard at the meetings of the Presb,xy. Mr. Lvzsl1observed, that Mr. Kircaldy would, 'when the proper tim rrived, give an answer to the charges 'which had been brought against him. Mr. KIRCALDY made a similar remark. The petition was theR received, and the meeting ad- journed. MR FLETCHER.
