THE OFFICIAL OLOAS. The Rev. M. . Smith offercd a reeolution om- powering the Council to publish 2 wmouthly newepaper, to be callod tho JKteformed Epiaco- palian, and to bo tho exponeat of the pniuciples of the Charch, nud & modium for the publication of nrticles of its ministora, Bishop Cheney sald that the Coancil onght to ba caroful Low thoy threw away thesupnort of & paper which Liad done somuch for them as the Episcopatian. No agency had beoo mors pow- orful thau that papor in promoting the Interosts of the Rtafurmed Church. Thon, too, came the question whother tho Council had eoongh monoy to undortake such sn euterpriso. Thoro was nothing which sunx g0 much monsy {a s0 short a time a8 o roligious nowapaper, nod for a Churcl with only perbaps 5,000 communicants to oatab- lish » vowepaper was to cresto a steady drain npm:i ita reavurces which it could not very well stand. ‘Iie Rev, Dr, Nichiolson opposod tho establish- Ing of A nowspaper, aud thoughl that the Conn- cil onght to heaitata beforo they acted adversely to the interests of oue who Liad bvon & groal friend to she Church, Mr. Jnmoson aaked what the Council would do if, at the end of the first yoar's publication, thers was o deficit. Dr. Leacack thought that it would be excesd- Ingly unwiso to {udorse the publication of a pa- per intended to reprosont the Church, which he thought was an impousbility among » body of men huvluim wido s divorsity of opinion as the Hoformed Episcopal Chucch. A motion to suspend tho reguiar businoss was lost, and the Cauucil prodsoded to conaider the roport of the Committes on Nominatious (pub- lshed in yestorday's Teinrxe), which was, on wotion, adopted withont rit2ation.

In hisopinion thoro should bo ot loact ono year, or perbaps two yoars' time, allowed for tha coveidoration aud study of the articles prior to thar fiusl adoption.

An ipvitation was read from Mr. J, A.
