The Muniteur of yesterday says that Major-
General Dix presented to the Emperor, on the
23rd, his credentials as Envoy rxtraordinary
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
progress 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 government 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
esteem myself the happiest of 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 govmernment 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
commerce, 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 attach 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 pans.d
sengers on board, on her weekly trip to London
Ferry
, a
that when about two 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

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 the cargo and ; this was effected by Cap-
tain Hicks and several divers under him. The
three al
val
ou ue of
f
the goods recovered 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 Saturday 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'
engines, and they were kept going until 9 o'clock, when,
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.

this—Which of the two bodies in f Scotland, each assentin

g
to the articles and using the liturgy o the church of En
land, but the one under 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 willuse 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

wish to do so, though I can hardly see how it will further

Nov. 19. 1866.
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,
ressand
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 gracehe
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 it, and permit its introduction h
Dr.
into any 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 !" (Bishop 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
consider 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 said in
Your grace is reported
the Rouse of Lords, in 1864, when the Scotch Episcopal
Disabilities urned, " 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 England 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 eminent 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 involving 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 century, 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 knownn 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 episcopal church. - Lord
Romilly quotes, with entire approval, a statement
of Mr. Lone, that • 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 your 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

A CHURCH-00INO Doo.—A correspondent writes
to us as follows :—" An entertaining article in the last
Wrplminster relive, which relates several ca.es of the
fondness of the canine race for church servicee, reminds
me of thegollowing similar instance which occurred under
my own eye. In the city of H--, Missouri, a small dog,
th of an old Virginia physician, was in the habit

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

day ay
morning he teenaged to get out of the house, and was
seen to be sitting bolt upright in the middle of the street,
with ears erect. The moment the bell struck, t

people, the dog started straight for chnrch at a s trtot,
and resumed his old place. The next Sunday he did the
same, and once more was allowed to become a regular

of quite respectable powers of calculation and contrivance,

THE 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 claimethe
river A crib
for is an
artificial 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 fixed to the soil with stakes. They had
no doubt that the whole of these
hil things takeceib
n
together 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. In the numerous claims made by his
grace they have carefully been

user during living memory, and whered
satisfactorily established, they had come to the conclusion
that such crib or stop-net existed from before the reign of
Edward 1., and was now legal. accordingly, going through
the list of his grace's claims in the several fisheries of
Monmouth Fishery, Redbrook Fishery, and Upper Fishery,
extending along the Wye from Monmouth to Chepstow-
bridge, the commissioners declared legal the greater part
of the cribs and stopping-nets claimed, abolishing those
only in respect of which the roof of user a.,•' ding to

clared that the number of stop-nets and boats to be used at
one time at all the places named must be limited to 1.3 l
