" Coddesiton Palace, July 30.

" My dear Mr. Archdeacon,—May I request you to com-
municate to the clergy of your archdesooory the following
injunction from me u ordinary ?
' That, on the Sunday after the receipt of it, they give

You are earnestly desired to make your humble sup-
plications to Almighty God, who is the author of peace and
lover of concord, that he will promote peace among our
brethren in America, and inspire their hearts with Chiatiau
unity and fellowship.
" To allow of which prayer a short pause will for the
present be made after the suffrage in the Litany, " that it
may plea.. Thee to give to all nations unity, peace, and
concord ;" and also in the prayer, "for all sorts and coodi-
tiona of men," after the words, " we commend to Thy
fatherly goodnem all those who are in any ways afflicted or
ditre.ed in mind, body, or estate."

THE PAISLEY REFORMERS AND THE
AMERICAN QUESTION.

The following address has been forwarded to the
United States government by the Parliamentary Reform
Association of Paisley : _ .

" To his Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President, and the
Members of the Executive of the Government of the United
States of America.--Gentlemen Ever since the period
when your brave fathers won for themselves on the W.tle.
field the independence of their country, the down-trodden
people of Europe, those patriots who have been forced to
leave their native land to avoid the tyranny of despots,
i have found in America a resting-place and a bone. Un-
like the countries of the Old World, where the industrious
dates are in political slavery, you enjoy the blessing
of living under a constitution founded on the equal
rights of man—a constitution which has had a loeg
and successful trial, has demonstrated the capability of
the people for self-government, and has contributed
more than any other system of government hitherto
established to forward the cause of freedom and civilisa-
tion. Under it the great end of government has been
obtained—the greatest possible happiness to the greatest
possible number. Seriously impressed with these ideas, we
take the liberty of expressing to you our deep regret on
learning the bold and daring attempt now making to separate
the Southern States from the Union. Far distant from the
SCOW of action, WO Can only amigo two causes for this Un-
warrantable daring—the deep chagrin of the Southern
party that the power to govern the country has fallen from
their hands, and their strong desire to perpetuate the
slavery of the African race, au evil the people of America
unfortunately inherited from Great Britain, and which is
now threatening to destroy your excellent form of go-
vernment The world and posterity will do you honour
for your great forbearance at the commencement of this
civil war. Not until the United States flag was deeply in-
sulted did you give countenance to shedding the Wood of a
kindred race. We rest in the confidence that the wealth, the
patriotism, and dauntless bravery of the people of the
North will enable you to put down this uncalled-for rebel-
lion. The gigantic efforts you have already made render
you worthy of being placed side by side with the fathers
of your great republic. Trusting that an all-wise Provi-
dence will guide your exertions to a successful issue, and
that the time is not far distant when peace, union, and po-
sterity will be restored to your eountry, we have the honour
to be, gentlemen, yours truly,
" AISIANDICR IPAI.-DSZW, Chairman.
" Ronan Cacsaaa, Secretary."

THE Lars Rum Camilito.—The will of the late
Earl Canning, K.G., has been proved by the surviving
executors, and the personal property sworn under 230,0001.
By the will, which bears date the 19th of March, 1844, the
whole of the personalty is directed to be invested In the pur-
chase of an estate, to be held in trust for the late countess
for her life, with remainder to his own issue ; and in default
of such issue, to his nephew, the second son of the Marquis
and Marchioness of Clasiricarde. The countess died in India
before his lordship, and, there not having been any issue of
their marriage, the estate to be purchased, therefore, de-
volves upon Lord Hubert de Bunch Canning (who has as.
slimed the name of Canning in compliance with • direction
in the will to that effect) for his life, with remainder to his
issue in strict settlement
