The subjoined correspondence has taken place between the Archbishop and the Rev. D. T. K. Drum mond, of the English episcopal church, Edinburgh : Edinburgh, Oct. 29, 1886. My Lord Archbishop,—Your grans is reported to have said at Inverness, that " The Scotch episcopal church is the only true representative of the church of England in Scotland." As for more then a quarter of a century I have ministered to a large congregation of members of the church of England, not connected with the Scotch episcopal church, and that under sanction of Acts of the British legislature ; and with the cordial sympathy Ind support of your grace's predecessor ; your grace not, I trust, think that I am taking too great a liberty if I venture to ask whether the above report is accurate, and if so, upon what grounds the statement in it restal—l have the honour to remain , m y Lord Archbishop, your graoe's faithful and obedient servant, D.T. K. DRI:111101rD. His Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury. Wentworth Woodhouse, Oct. 31, 1866. Rev. Sir,—ln reply to your letter of the 29th inst., I beg to inform you that the passage you quote from a eech I made at Inverness is correctly reported. I be sp lieve that the Scotch episcopal church is the only true representative of the church of England in Scotland ; be cause I know no other church in Scotland that is governed by bishops, and I do not believe that a church not go verned by bishops can truly represent the church of Eng land in its episcopal charactee.—l am, rev. sir, yours fait fully, C. T. Ciorean. Edinburgh, Nov. 3,1.566. My Lord Archbishop,—l have to acknowledge the reßea l rf er rPts" Mee. "IPIT* *iv 'so!' tiff.. 29ch ultimo, in which you accept the accuracy of tne report of your grace's speech at Inverness ; and also kindly express the grounds on which the statement in that re port rests. I feel assured that y our grace will further bear with sue, if I venture, most respectfull', to make a few remarks on that statement thus explained. Your grace affirms that the Scotch episcopal church is " the only true representative of the church of England in Scotland," because it is the only church that is go verned by bishops ; and your grace adds, Ido not be lieve that a church not governed by bishops can truly repre sent the church of England in its episcopal character." I may misapprehend this extrsct,but it appears to me that the last words , " i n its e p iscopal character," modify cons id e rably the original statement; for if the Scotch episcopal church represents the church of England in its episcopal character, then the church of Scotland may be said to represent it in its political character as an establishment ; and English clergymen officiating in Scot land to congregations of Englishchurch d repmen,lunder sanction o f the British legislature , may be sai to church of England in their exclusive adherence to the articles and liturgy of their own church, together with t he e to consistent denial of the right of any other church Impose on them terms of communion differing from their own. Thus I cannot but conclude that your grace has so far modified the original statement as it appeared in the report—for to affirm the mere fact of government by bisho sufficienthe churt, in an of sense, to make a church a r s epresert England,, would be to affirm a principle which can never be applied to number• less communions, both great and small, throughout the world. May I, with all respect and deference, add that the clergy of the church of England, who minister to con gregations of the laity of their own communion in this country, apart from the Scotch episcopal church, do not profess to be a church in Scotland, but merely deltac on hed labourers of the great body to which they beg. Their interests and sympathies are all bound up with the church of their fathers, which they have d isloyal . left and to whose principles they have never proved If in their position there may appear to be certain ano malies, is are not new to the church of England, as in the peculiars, and in the chaplaincies in the army and navy . , wherenodirect episcopal superintendence exists, and specially, whatever the anomalies of seh positions may be, they are sanctioned expressly and directly by e same law which secures to your grace the exalted position you now occupy. I have the honour to remain, my Lord Archbishop, your grace's faithful and obedient servant, D.T. K.

The object of this Compa n y Is to carry out the concessions granted by the Municipal Council of Brussels, In concert with the authorities of the province of Brabant, and the Belgian Goverument, for the drainege and coineideut improvements of the capital of Belgium. The masolltusle and value of these concessions will be under stood by the fact that they include subsidies to be received by the Company in cash and amenities of the value together 20,000,000 francs, or £1,060,000 sterling, which have been voted by all the authorities and sanctioned by the crown. The original estimates for the principal part of these works were examined and verified by Mr. J. W. Baralgette, Engineer- In-Chief to the Metropoli Board of Works of London, under the sanction of that body a nd these estimates have been further tested by months of minute and careful revision on the part of contractors and their respective engineers. It is intended that the whole of the works shall be completed within tour years. The importance of the undertaking is evidenced in the pro tracted official debates in the Brussels Municipal Council, and also in the Belgian Chambers and Senate, on the subject, and by the special report thereon from Lord Howard tr a nslen, her Majesty's Minister Plenipoteatiary at Brussels,mitted by the Kerl of Clarendon, through Sir George Grey, to the Metro politan Board of Works, in London, and recorded in their minutes under date of May 18, 1800, an extract of which is lexed to this prospectus. his Majesty the King of the Belgians has expressed his deere to inaugurate the works by laying the tirst stone in state cere mony, which is fixed to take place at Brussels, on Wednesday, the 22ini of January next. It will be at once seen by this brief description of the conces sion that it is one o f no ordinary charaeter. The capital of the Compa n y is fixed at L3&0,000, in 35,000 shares of £lO each. divided Into 2.5,000 A preference shares, and 10,000 B deferred shares. The privileges attached to the res pective share capital are as follows: The A preference shares are to he redeemed out of the assets of the Company, by drawings by but, and each share pail off at £l5 per share, being a brIIIUS of £5 per share.

The Muniteur of yesterday says that Major- General Dix presented to the Emperor, on the 23rd, his credentials as Envoy r xtraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States, accompanying the presentation with the following speech Sire,—ln presenting may credentials upon the part of the President of the United States, I am charged by him to express his best wishes for your Majesty, and for the prosperity of the French empire, as well as his sincere desire that the good understanding at present subsisting between the two countries may be perpetual. Since the establishment of their government it has always been the aim of the United States to cultivate friendly re lations with all nations. There are especial reasons for their desire to entertain the most amicable relations with France. They can never forget that she afforded them most opportune and most efficacious assistance in recog nising their independent and equal rank among the other nations of the earth. The two countries—France during your Majesty's reign, and the United States during the corresponding period have made extraordinary progress in the industrial arts, and in the application of science to practical purposes. Each upon its side occu pying an eminent position at the head of the civilization of two vast continents, the influence of their sympathetic movement, in giving expansion to ideas and imprinting prog ress upon material interests so important to the winel fare of nations, cannot fail to make itself powerfully felt, and with advantages far beyond their immediate action. I feel convinced Ido not exaggerate the send ments of the gove rn ment and the people of the United States when I say that it is their sincere desire to see this union, which attached them to France in times gone by, ripen in the future, to change into still closer and more cordial friendship. shal es t e em myself the happiest o f men if, during the accom plishment of my official duties towards your Majesty's government, I am able to contribute in any degree to this object so intimately bound up with the prosperity and the happiness of the two countries and with the interests of humanity throughout the entire world. The Emperor replied—" I thank you, general, for the sentients you express towards me in the name of the gov m ernment of the United States. The histori cal reminiscences you call up are a sure guarantee that no misunderstanding will ariso to disturb the friendly relations so long existing between France and the American Union. A loyal and sincere agreement will, I doubt not, profit both industry and comme rce, which daily astonish the world by their marvels, and will secure the progress of civilization. Your presence among us cannot hut contribute to this happy result by upholding the relations to which I a ttach the utmost value." RECOVERY OF THE LONDON STEAM-SHIP.—The steam-ship London, belonging to the Dundee, Perth, and London Shipping Company, which has lain on the Horse shoe Shoal, m the Tay, since the 18th November, 1865, was on Saturday taken off and brought up to Dundee.. It will be remembered that the London left Dundee on the after noon of the day mentioned (18th November, 1841), with a cargo of goods valued at 12,000/. and a number of pa n s. d sengers on board , on her weekly trip to London Ferry , a that when about t wo miles below Broughty she came into collision with the Harvest Queen, coal laden, from Newcastle, then coming up the chan nel of the river. The result of the collision was that the London went upon the Horseshoeifficu Shoal, where she sank, her passengers escaping with dlty, some on board the Harvest Queen and some on board a tug sent to her assistance. The Harvest Queen, after pro ceeding up the river about three miles, sank upon the Newcome Shoal, within a short distance of the After southa shore, where she was nearly dry at l o w water. good deal of difficulty she was brought off several months ago, and has been renovated and is now again in the coal trade. In order to recover London it was resolved first to take out th e cargo and ; this was e ff ected by Cap tain Hicks and several divers under him. The three al val ou ue of f the goods recover ed amounted to 9,000/. or rt of the original value. After this had been done several attempts were made to raise the steamer, but without suc cess ; end it was generally considered that there was no hope of her recovery, and that the loss of 15,000/., at which she was valued, would have to be submitted to. In the end of September, however, ne ars arrangement was made with the Messrs. Gourley, engi and iron shipbuilders, Dundee, toe ndeavour to raise her, and after some preps. rations the first attempt was made by them on the 24th November, but without success. It was then found that several of the leaks, which were supposed to bare been closed up by the divers, were still open. These were carefully closed up under the superintendence of Mr. Macnidder, manager for the Messrs. Gourley ; and it was resolved to make another attempt to raise her on Saturday, the tides being then at the lowest. Accordingly, the steamer Queen went down on Friday afternoon with two powerful pumps on board, in addition to two which had been erected on the London, and at three o'clock on Sat urda y morning a vessel left Dundee with a fifth pump. The weather was favourable. At half-past 7 the two pumps on board the Queen and the two on the London were set going, being wrought by the Queen' eng ines, and they were kept going until 9 o'clock, whe n, on putting down the lead, it was found that the London had risen two feet. The fifth pump was then added, and by a quarter past 9 she had risen four feet. At half-past 9 the two tugs Atlas and Sampson took the London in tow, when she came away with them. The tide was then making, and she was slowly floated up to Dundee, the pumps working the time. The hull, when seen, ap peared a melancholy spectacle,being covered with barnacles and muscles, and the masts all gone. The London was beached in the afternoon to the east of the Camperdown Dock, where she will receive a partial overhaul, previously to being taken into the dry dock to be thoroughly renovated.

My Lord Archbishop,—l venture to address your grace onee more. I conclude that I have not misunderstood your grace in the statement contaired in the letter of the 31st October with which your grace has favoured me. I trust, therefore, that your igrace will not object to the publication of the correspondence. I have the honour to remain, my Lord Archbishop, your grace's faithful and obedient servant, D. T. K. DRPIIXOND. Addington-park, Croydon, Nov. 13,1800. Rev. Sir,—l could not imagine you would the sup ld, or pose I me ant to say that every church throughout wif governed by bishops, how much soever it might differ from our church in doctrine , was a true repress church church of England. The real question between us was this—Which of the two bodies in f Scotland, each assentin g g to the articles and using the liturgy o the church of En land, but the one un der episcopal government, the other under no episcopal government at all, was the trill repre sentative of the church of England in Scotland! I essertim ed that the former was , and I confess it appears to me possible to deny this. You decline to submit to a soottish bishop ; and as to English bishop e, I willu se ote f the Lord words of Bishop Horsley in his speech in theos on the Bill for the Belief of the Scottieh Episcopalians in the year 1792. "When a clergyman ordained by one of us settles as a pastor of a congregation in Scotland, be is out of the reach of our authority. We have no authority there—we can have no authority there—the legis lature con give us no authority there." Tbe neces sary conclusion seems to be that you are not episco- Indians. The Bishop of London. in his speech at Glasgow in 1814, used these words—" The Seottidi. episcopal church is the only real, authorised rep reeentative in this country . of the church of England." A stronger form of expression this than I used, but equally asserting the fact. You have asked me to explain my meaning, and I have done so as clearly as I can. I have no objeetion whatever 1 to your publishing this correspondence, as you express a wish to do so, though I can hardly see how it will further Your cause.-1 am, Bev. Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, C. T. CAIVITAR. Nov. 19. 18 66 . Edinburgh, My Lord Archbishop,—l beg to acknowledge the favour of your grace's letter of the 13th inat. The remarks I ventured to make in my letter of the 3rd, were based upon what appeared to be a modified statement in your greee's letter of the 31st ult. Your grace, however, has now given a wider range to the question at iaue, ress and ng you. I trust this will plead my apology for again addi Your grace affirmed at Inverness that the Scotch epis copal church is " the only true representative of t church of England in Scotland," beceuse, as our grace he y now write", she " assents to the Articles sod is of the " chunderurch of England," and " uses her liturgic," a episcopal government." I respectfully submit to your grace that there are certain important considerations to be taken into account by which the above con- I elusion must be tested. 1. The Scotch episcopal 1 church is purely a voluntary awl dissenting con - 1 munion. 2. She has laws of her own, differing from, and independent of, those which govern our church. 3. She may alter these laws whenever she plewies, with ont regard to any civil or ecclesiastical judicature in the kingdom. She has done so three times during this century. 4. These laws enforce • discipline altogether foreign to that which prevails in our church , giv seven Scotch bishops, as a court from which their clergY bind themselves not to appeal, the power of —" 1. Ad monition ; 2. Surpension ; 3. Deprivation of a pastoral charge ; 4. Degradation." 5. These laws annetion in am regations already using i t, and permit its introduction h Dr. into a ny new congregation, a communion office, whic Blakeney, in his work on the Book of Common Prayer (already a standard work), characterizes as " an instance of decided retrogreesion towards Rome." 6. The Seotch episcopal church formerly adopted the Thirty-nine Articles in 1804. Bat how ' The Bishop Skinner of that day wrote privately to an eminent layman of his church that they were to be " subscribed by Scotch epis copalians only es Articles of Union, whereby we express our approbation of what the church of England has intended by them." To this end be prepared a pre m.:tile. modifying articles 17, 25, 35, 36, and :37. His correapondent, however, induced him to abandon this, and to accept his own proposal instead—viz., to subscribe the Articles as , "every subscriber explaining them to himself !" (Bisho p Jolly, nevertheless, when be signed thern,frankly declared "we mustbe candidly understood as taking them in unison with that book (' A Leyman's Ac count,' Fro.), and not think say expression with regard to the Lord's Snpper inimical to our practice at the altar in the use of the Scotch Communion -office. 7. Lord Romilly, in his recent judgment in the case of the Bishop of Natal r. Mr. Gladstone and others, refersto churches " rejecting, as the episcopal church in Scotland is °impelled to do, the Thirty-seventh Article of the English Church." 8. So recently as 1850, the Scotch bishops, in Synod assembled, took into consideration the case of Gorham ot r. Bishop of Exeter , and solemnly declared, "We do n ing c onsider the eentence in the ease referred to as hav any authority to bind us." Thus ignoring a decision by which your grace and all the members of our church are bound, regarding • vital question in one of the most im portant of the services of the church of England. 9. The above handling of the English Liturgy and Articles has never been repudiated by the Scotch episcopal church ; and cannot be, so long as her canons sanction the nes of a Communion -office involving • priestly miracle which has been deliberately excluded from our office, and as long as the Thirty-seventh Article ix by the same canons a dead _ _ . letter, - in the Tines to have s aid in Your grace is rep orted the Rouse of Lords , in 1864, when the Scotch Ep isco p al Disabilities u rned, " The great difficulty of ad milting to the Eng Act was • church ordaisaa ministers of the Scotch =impel church was that It would create a Ono.— allegiance." lliay I respectfully remark, that the facts I have stated above most forcibly bear out this opinion ci your grass, but an utterly ineconcilable with the state ment that the Scotch episcopal church iv "the only true representative of the church of Englan d in Soodand. But your grace refers me, in further oonfirmation ci the view you have takes of church matters is Scotland, to the recorded sentiments of two emine nt prelates. Your grace moat doubtless be aware that lan produce there corded sentiments of other prelates not less eminent than the above— your ve ry p predecomor =tong them—who tale the very opposite view from that enter tained by your grace. But, my lord, I must be dardoned if I decline to admit any private opinion, howeve• worthy of oonsiderstion, of persons however distinguished, as ci sufficient weight to settle a question involvi ng d ng the civil and ecelemiastical privileges of a large body of laymen an clergymen of the church of England in Scotland. That question, I submit, is one of fact and law. In point of fact, congregations of English churchmen have existed in Scotland for more than a centu ry , and that apart from the Scotch episcopal church. The British legislature have all along sanctioned clergymen of English or Irish orders ministering in these congregations, so that for • long rriod I they were known n as the " qualified clergy.' Am not, than, justified in asking, not what any of the dignitaries of our • church may think of this, but—has the law which sanctions it been repealed? But I must observe that the prelates to whom your grace referred not only do not agree in opinion regarding the matter at issue, but are directly antagonistic. Thus, the Bishop of London, as quoted by year grace, em " The Scotch Episcopal Church is the on real anthem= representative in Scotland of the Church of England " while Bishop Horsley affirms, in the same =cock from whisk yew rase var„,,redi;:clttcadvisol, an suttiorinedValt a direct infringement of the union. I agree with Bishop Horsley. Your grace said at Inverness, that the " prelatic of the English church pretend to exercise no jurisdiedob over clergymen in Scotland ; and when your grace added" it is entirely contrary to the diocesan system that such a course should be pursued," then I submit that our grace is also in antagonism with Bishop Horsley. English prelates have no jurisdiction in Scotland. not because there exists an episcopal, church in Sooty land, but because there is a presbytenan church estab 'l Belied by law in Scotland. The pretence of a Scotch • bishop is exactly on the same footing with that of an . English bishop es to any authorised jurisdiction. Both are illegal. The law pays little regard to any pretended authority, be it diocesan or otherwise, in the one case as in the other. Your grace's judgment, that those who occupy a position such as I do are not epi.copalians, does not appear to me to be well founded. English churchmen do not cease to be episcoptilians merely because they.erees the border any more than when they cross the Channel Government by bishops can be as little enforced in the' latter case as in the former. And if, by a voluntary arrangement between the two partly., episcopal functions • have been performed in congregations on the continent, where no authorised English episcopacy can exist, so also have these been perfonned in Scotland. Suffer me, how ever, to test this opinion of your grace by the judgment pronounced by Lord Romilly, to which I have already referred. Your grace considers that an English churchman can only be regarded in Scotland as an entree pall= by joining the Scotch episcop al church. - Lord Romilly quotes, with entire approval, a statement of Mr. Lone, th at • declaration by persona that "they are , members of the church of the diocese of Capetown, olden, and in full communion, with the united church of England and Ireland, and belonging to no other body, is, in his opinion, • declaration of virtual secession from the church of England." And Lord ltomilly proceeds :—" In another place Mr. Long states that he is a member of the church of England, and not a member of a church in union, and full communion with the church of England ; which are, in his opinion, two separate and diatinct things. The distinction is plain and obvious." Your grace ex pects that member 4 of the church of England in this country shall join the Scotch episcopal church, while the decision of Lord Romilly mates this to be tanta mount to a " secession from the church of England !" They have, however, no wish to secede from their own church, and only demand to be left undisturbed in that position which the Scotch episcopal church herself, when presenting her case for relief at the-close of last century, RO fully admitted, when she modestly asked parliament to " pat all the protestant epiecopal tibe.ciiters from the establishment , in this artick of toleration' on an equal footing." May I remind y our grace that this question has not been re-opened by the members of the church of Eng land in Scotland. They were quietly and unobtnisivay going on in the path sanctioutal by law, and which loyalty to their own church led them to adopt, when Ilishop . Eden at Nairn, and your grace at Inverness, took occasion to endeavour to create a prejudice against them. For my self I beg moat earnestly to disavow all hoatility to the Scotch episcopal church. I regret that she retains a sacramental doctrine which distiuguishes her from other churches of the Reformation, as well as from my own; though 1 am not called on to be her public accuser. But, my lord archbishop, I enter a aolenin protest in the name of my brethren, both lay awl clerical, in this country as well us in my own, against all attempts, fro.a whatever quarter these may proceed, to force us to accept a jurisdiction in contravention of the union between Eng land and Scotland, and to compel its, either directly or indirectly, to sanction a doctrine which we conscientiously believe to be without any "warranty of Scripture," ana to be a step hack from the Reformed Liturgy I of our church—the very step, moreover, to which our Ritualistic I traitors are straining every nerve to commit the church of England, and which the 1'413140p of Ripon has just raid is, " in plain English, to change the Holy Communion into the idolatrous sacrifice of the I have the honour to ' remain, my Lord Archbishop. your grace's most faithful and obedient 'servant, I ) .

In the city of H--, Missou ri , a small dog, th of an old Virginia physician, was in the h abit o e property f accompanying the family to church. One summer day the minister had ridden in to the service rather early, and. was sitting in the pulpit awaiting the congregation, with a beavy.riding swAch behind him, when the doctor's dog came in at one door, and at the same moment another dog entered the other 'door. Each walked up his aisle, and, meeting in front of the pulpit, gave a growl, and clinched in a regular fight, which was soon broken up by the breaking of the clergyman's switch over the belligerents' h much to the edification of the spectators. For several Su after this Peaks was kept at home, ut h one Sun day ay morning he teenaged to get out of the ho use, and was seen to be sitting bolt upright in the middle of the street, with ears erect. The moment the bell struck, t low o call he people, the dog started straight for chnrch at a s tr t ot, and resumed his old place. The next Sunday he did the same, and once more was allowed to become a regular chureh-goer.

T H E DVSS Or BEACTOST'S SALMON FISHERIES. —At Chepstow, on Saturday, the special commissioners its and other for inquiring into the legality of fixed ne engines on the salmon rivers of England delivered their judgment on the claims made by the Duke of Beaufort to certain crib. and stopping-nets on the river Wye, betureers 31onmonth and Chepstow, which had bern saved before them on the previous day. The chairman of the commis sion Mr. James Paterson, in delivering judgine:4, des cribed the nature of the engines claimeth e river A crib for is an a rtificial bank of stone, projecting into the sole purpose of causing a slack or back current, within which is placed a stopping-net (held by rote with poles in a boat) and a boat fi x ed to the soil with stakes. They had no doubt that the whole of these hil things takeceib n toget h er constituted a fixed engine, we the taken by itself was a weir, and as such came within the things rrohihited in navigable rivers by the statute of 2.3 Edward 111.

Mwrox-TAROLootn SCHOOL, IstaNcioN.- - On Sunday last two sermons were preached in Holy Trinity church, lalington, on behalf of funds for the this school, that in the morning by the Rev. J. W. Bardsley, and that in evening by the Rev. C. R. Alford (Bishop designate of Victoria). the president of the school, who, in an eloquent and earnest sermon, pleaded the cause of this very excel lent and useful night ragged school, which, he said, was " One of the very beet in London :" he gave an account of the class in attendance, which showed that some of them were children of parents who were blind, paralysed, in lunatic asylums, fathers deserted the family, a number fatherless and some orphans, and that numbers were re fused admission for the want of room. The school is a great favourite with the Islington boys, they come from all parts of it, and is the means of bringing together the very poorest and uneducated. A very sad case was men tioned, in which a family of five children we re made or phans within the last few days. About 3i years ago • man resided with his wife and family in a street close to the school : the husband was a mechanic, and he was doing he, comfortably ; h owe ver, got into company that Was hi a s ru i n , deserted hie wife and family, enlisted for soldier, and was sent off to India where h to bringe shortlyup dithe ed. The woman, having no one to help her family, went out to do a ,s h eday ashing or cleaning to those that would employ her eldest girl, about 19 years old, was occasionally employed as a needlewoman. On last Sunday week, while speaking to one of the chil dren, the mother was 'suddenly seised with an epileptic fit and died, leaving five children without any friend to help them. The youngest is 3A year" old; the others 8,1?, 15, and 19. A number of boys from this school have gone tutu the navy, and a very _gratifying letter was read, which had been received by Kr. Fraser from one of these lads, and affectionately showed that they do not forget the kindness they experience from those who take an interest in them. the F u nds are ve ry much needed, and at t time of year left off clothing and coal and bread tickets would do much good, and which it JR trusted that some of the nada' of this may seed to the sagged school.
