Last evening I attended a committee of the yearly meeting, appointed for the revisal of the discipline. In the afternoon, I attended the fourth sitting; the early part of which was employed in reading several certificates of public friends present. Some committees were appointed; and a report from the committee on the revision of the disci-pline, was read and agreed to. 4th Month, 17th. In the morning, I attended the fifth sitting, when the consideration on the state of society, as it appeared from the answers to the queries, as entered into. The minutes of the meeting for sufferings were also read; and an epistle to the yearly meeting in London was read and agreed to. In the afternoon was the sixth sitting, when a report of the state of Westown School was read. Afterwards a discussion took place on the subject of report of the Committee on Indian affairs being read in the meeting; but it ended without any decision of the question at that time. A testi-mony respecting Wm. Savery was read, and also one on account of another deceased friend, which concluded the meeting agreeably.
