took the Chair, and briefly announced that the paper by the 

 Rev. William Thorp, of Misson, their worthy Secretary, 

 " On the Derbyshire Coal Field," would not then be read, 

 as it was now time to adjourn for dinner. He was satisfied 

 that Mr. Thorp would not feel disappointed at this, as, under 

 the circumstances, the important paper he had proposed could 

 not receive that attention which it demanded. With regard 

 to the Evening Meeting announced, the Council had deemed 

 it advisable not to hold it, as the paper of Mr. Thorp would 

 not be sufficient to occupy their attention for an entire 

 meeting. After stating that the next Meeting was intended 

 to be held at Wakefield, the Chairman vacated his seat, and 

 the proceedings terminated shortly after four o'clock.
