TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Will you have the goodness to inquire of the
Com mittee of the Travellers' Society why they do not
resume their original payments to the decayed mem-
bers, which they gave notice, about twelve months
since, they should be enabled to do at an early date.
The subscribers are much dissatisfied, the Society hav-
ing such a large funded property, and the decayed
members only receiving about 121. to 141. per annum.

SYNOD or ABERDEEN.—The Synod of Aberdeen is
a sore thorn in the side of the Non-Intrusionists. It

will be remembered that the General Assembly, in
May last, passed a resolution, suspending Dr. Grant
and ten other clergymen from their judicial functions,
for the alleged crime of assisting the Strathbogie mi-
nisters in the administration of the Lord's Supper
Among that number were the Rev. James Robertson,
of Ellon ; Rev. George Peter, of Kenmay ; and the
Rev. Alexander Cushny, of Rayne ; all in the Pres-
bytery of Garioch. Accordingly, at the half-yearly
meeting of the Synod of Aberdeen, held on Tuesday
last, objections were taken to the name 3 of these gen-
tleman appearing on the roll of members. Similar
objections were also taken to the names of the Rev.
Mr. Middleton (whose settlement in the parish of
Culsamond was declared void by a vote of last As-
sembly), and Mr. James Middleton, elder. The
Synod, however, by a majority of 81 to 71, have re-
fused to give effect to the sentences of the Assembly
with respect to these gentlemen and have retained
their names on their roll ! This is another serious
blow at the usurped authority of the Non-Intrusion
party, and will carry great dismay into their ranks.
1 It was easy to suspend or depose some dozen or so of
contumacious members, but what will they make of

" The King will knight you," said Anson to Camp-
