with English churches was also valuable and use-
ful in regard to the schemes of the Church. The EPI
copalian Churches entertained much sympathy with
the Church of Scotland, there being a general con-
viction that its position was the right and true otali
and that it ought to have their sympathy and co-ope-
ration.—(Hear.) He had conversed with several of
the most celebrated ministers of the Episcopalian
Church on the subject—a minister who had sent tea
guineas to the five schemes which he (Mr. C.) He
lieved he would annually contribute.—(Hear.)
repeated his earnest request that the Assembly shotu"
u
give some distinct expression, indicating the tie villie°
subsisted between it and the Churches in England. ,
Dr. BROWN, of Greenock, said, that in every worcl
which had been so well expressed by his Rev. l'rienda
he most cordially concurred. He would simplY ad
that there was a very crying rea3on why, a c anmittee
mi
should be appointed as requested by Mr. (,um
ig
and that was that from representations made toes"
from Liverpool and London, it was absolutely nec
sary that some deliverance should be given b,y th
Assembly, in order that those places of worship whici
al
but
formerly were in connection with the Church,
which now had separated from it, should be reclain!eu
by judicial procedure—that, in short a plea in, equitY
might be entered. ca
Dr. Coox said it was certainly of great importaP.,h
to the Church to be on a most intimate footing
the Presbyterians in England attached to it. I`_
knew there were many zealously attached, and wn,.ut;
by the communications they had sent, showedl
anxious desire to know in what relation they rea so
stood to the Establishment of getting its supP°ll'
that they might manage their churches, and e"-,r—v
'ts
the different offices in a manner consistent with.lf
views. The church at Liverpool had
evidence of its attachment to the Establishment/ t.
expressing its great anxiety for guidance in this resPe.n.,
lifter a few observations from Dr. Muir and
cipal Macfarlan,

Mr. PRINGLE, M.P. expressed his cordial satin ere

Mr. BRIDGES brought up the subject of tile, itheir
provement of the church psalmody, and enforne(!•:f •
necessity of taking up the matter with more hni.;;;4
energy than it had been in time past. He n°t:gor•
the great attention paid to this part of Christian ce
ship in the early part of the Church's history, il.„ch it,
trast with the comparative indifference with svnl'fle
was generally regarded in modern congregations; es.
hoped the subject would be taken up by the
rot
tional Committee of the Church, for it was there
to,.
it should be seriously considered that the musicale.

the Educational Committee to take the subject
