stopped and reversed. I obeyed the order and telegraphed
to the engine-room. The order was obeyed. We attack
the steamer on the starboard side, about half-way between
the paddle and the stern. The proper course down the
reach is E. by S., and up W. by N.

YES PAN•ANOLICAN SYNOD.

THE SPECIAL SERVICES.-(THIS DAY.)

This morning, the eleventh of the special ser-
vices in connexion with the forthcoming Pan-Anglican
Synod was held in the parish church of St. Lawrence
deirry. There were from $0 to 100 persons present. At
7 o'clock the procession moved along the church to the
communion table, there being in it the Rev.MorganCowie,
8.A., the rector ; the Rev. W. H. Milman, M.A., vicar
of St. Augustine (a son of the Dean of St. Paul's) ; the
Rev. Edmund Ibbetson, MLA , commissary of the Bishop
of Honolulu ; four other clergymen ' • and Bishop Tozer, of
Central Africa, who is to preach at the eight o'clock ser-
vice this evening. The Rev. Edmund Ibbetson, commis-
sary of the Bishop of Honolulu, delivered a brief address
from the steps of the communion table. He said be had
been requested to state why the bishop was not present to
take part in the proceedings of that morning, as he had
been expected to do. His lordship left Honolulu three
months since, and as his missions were supported not only
I, the church of England, but by the church of the
United States of America, he had peobably gone to
America to see his committee and his commissary for the
['rated States.

The Holy Communion was administered, and Bishop
Tozer pronosnced the benediction.

The brother of the Tycoon of Japan is at the
Ilsgoe with a suite of 30 persons.

The iron mines at Marmora, in Canada, which
were recently opened, are yielding large quantities of ore.
It is only three weeks since shipment commenced, and
already 6,000 tons of ore have been shipped from Coburg
to Cleveland or Erie—mostly to the latter port. The
eompsny are now shipping over three hundred tons per
day. The ore is of excellent quality, and the demand for
it as active.

A memorial, signed by 90 clergymen and 192
churchwardens of the diocese of Salisbury, has been ad-
dressed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, relating to
certain views as to the nature of the Christian
ministry, the communion, and the power of the
clergy in remitting or retaining sins, which have
been laid down authoritatively by the Bishop
of Salisbury in a recent charge and which the
memorialists believe to be contrary to the scriptural teach-
ing of our church, and utterlysubversive of her Protestant
standing and character. "If his lordship be right," say
the memorialists, " we have entirely misunderstood the
plain meaning of Scripture and of our church's formu-
laries on some all•important points. We maintainorithout
fear of contradiction, that had our martyred reformers
mowed these opinions, they might have been spared the
Mel persecutions and violent deaths which they endured.
We are in a great strait, and have, therefore, ventured thus
to appeal to your grace, as to our common ecclesiastical
superior, with the earnest prayer that you may be directed
to take inch step+ as may, by God's blessing, save our
church from disruption, and advance the glory of God and
the spiritual well-being of His people." The archbishop
briefly replies that the address involves so many questions
of &legal as well as of a theological character that he must
defer, for the present, any definite reply to it.
