THE PAN-ANGLICAN COUNCIL.

The following is the text of the letter from the
Archbishop of Canterbury, summoning the bishops to the
Pan-Anglican Council in September next :
" Lambeth Palace, Feb. 22, 1867.
" Rightßev. and Dear Brother,—l request your presence
at a meeting of the bishops in visible communion with the
United Church of England and Ireland, purposed—God
willing—to be holden at Lambeth, under my presidency,
on the 24th of September next and the three following
days. The cirounbetenoss under which I have resolved to
issue the preeent invitations are the,.. The Meles”lttut
and bishopelCanada, lAA year, addreasolto tbs two Houses
of Convocation of Canterbury the expression of their desire
that I should be moved to invite the bishops of our
Indian and Colonial episoopate to meet myself and the
home bishops for brotherly communion and conference.
The consequence of that appeal has been—that both Houses
of the Convocation of my province have addressed to me
their dutiful request that I would invite the attendance
not only of our own home and colonial bishops but of all
who art avowedly in communion with our church. The
same request was unanimously preferred to me, at a nume-
rous gathering of English, Irish, and colonial archbishops
and 'bishops recently assembled at Lambeth ; at which
—I rejoice to record it—we had the counsel and con-
currence of an eminent bishop of the church in the
United States of America—the Bishop of Illinois. Moved by
these requests, and by the expressed concurrence therein of
other members both of the home and colonial episcopate,
who could not be present at our meeting, I have now re-
solved—not, I humbly trust,. without the guidance of God •
the Holy Ghat—togrant thin grave request, and call to.
gather the meeting thus earnestly desired. I greatly hope :
that you may be able to attend it, and to aid us with your
presence and brotherly counsel thereat. I propose that,
at our assembling, we should first solemnly seek the bless-
ing of Almighty God on our gathering, by uniting together
in the highest act of the church's, worship. After this,
brotherly consultations will follow.7ln these, we may con-
Oder, together, many practical Aulestions, the settlement
of which would tend to the splvsnoement of the kingdom
of our Lord and -Master Jesus Christ, and to the main-
Itenance of greater unioniteroar missionary work, and to in-
creased intercommuniorismong ourselves. Such a meeting
would not be competent to make declarations, or lay down
definitions, on points of doctrine. But united worship and
common counsels would greatly tend to maintain practically
the unity of the faith; whilst they would bind us in
Waiter bonds of peace and brotherly charity. I shall
gladly receive from you a list of any subjects you may wish
Ito suggest to me for consideration and discussion. Should
you be unable to attend, and desire to commission any
brother bishop to speak for you, I shall welcome him as
your representative in our united deliberations ; but I
must once more express my earnest hope that, on this
solemn occasion, I may have the great advantage of your
personal presence. And now I commend this proposed
meeting to your fervent prayers, and humbly beseeching
the blessing of Almighty God on yourself and your diocese,
I subscribe myself, your faithful brother in the Lord,
" C. T. eurruks."

PROTEST AGAINST VIVIIMICTION.—The following
protest on the subject of vivisection has just been tattled:—
" We, the Court of Examiners for Scotland of the Royal
College of Veterinary Surgeons, desire to expresa our
opinion that the performance of operations on living ani-
mals is altogether unnecessary and useless for the purpose
of causation :--James Syme, chairman ; James I)unamure,
P.It.C.S.E. • J. Warburton Begbie, M.D. ; John
Lawson, presideneof the Royal College of Veterinary Sur-
geons ; R. Cartledge, M.R.C.V.S., consulting member of
council ; William Cockburn, ; William Ro-
bertson, ILR.C.V.S. ; Charles Seeker, M.R.C.V.S. ;
James Cowie, M.R.C.V.S. I fully concur in the above.—
WK. WIIIINISON, principal veterinary surgeon to the
fortes."
PARLIAMENTARY MANNERS.—It is said that two
conservative members, who were supposed to be highly
resentful at their not obtaining office on the formation of
the government, entered into a compact dictated by mu-
tual sympathy and ratified by mutual honour, that they
would not accept office in the course of the changes new*.
sitated by the secession of the three cabinet ministers.
One of them, however, did take office ; and it is said that
while sitting on the Treasury bench he was reproached by
his former confederate, who deliberately used to him two
dissyllabic words, indicative of deliberate untruth and
treachery. Another member of the government is re-
ported to have told a bitter seceder from its ranks that he
belonged to the peculiar canine breed which personifies all
the less courageous and estimable qualities of that faithful
animal. We cordially agree with a contemporary in think-
ing that such affairs are disgraceful to the perpetrators.
In our time duelling is out of the question ; the use of an
insulting epithet to one who has virtually no means of re-
seating it, is like striking a woman or a wounded man.—
