CLERICAL PRECEDENCE OF THE ALLAN
STEAMSHIP LNE.-The owners of the Allan
steamship line are likely to have some trouble
on the question of clerical precedence. We do
not know what regulations they had adopted
relative to this matter. But last summer, the
Rev. Gervase Smith, one of the most eminent
ministers of the Methodist church, crossed to
this side of the Atlantic in a ship of the Allan
Line. He came as delegate from the Chief
Court of the largest body of Non-Conformisrs
in England to the Highest Court of the larg-
est Protestant Denomination in the Dominion
the General Conference in session at Toronto
One Sunday was spent at sea, in the ship in
question, during this voyage. On the morning
of that day, enquiry was made by the Captain
whether there was clergyman on board who
could or would conduct Divine service in the
cabin. 1t was ascertained that there was nc
Episcopal minister among the passengers, and
only one minister belonging, we believe, to t he
Kirk of Scotland, and he was for the time an
invalid. But it was learnt that Mr.. Smith and
some other Non-Conformst ministers were on
board Their presence, however, was ignored
and some of the ships officers conducted Di
vine worship. The facts were incidentally
stated in letter descriptive of the voyage, pub.
lshed by Mr.. Smith in London paper. They
have ELECTED considerable attention, and been
rather warmly commented on. The matter il
a small one. But it will likely enough come
up in the Canadian Parliament. The Allan
line is heavily subsidized with Canadian money
and the Canadian Methodist church will prob
ably deem it proper to enquire whether the dis.
courtesy in question was the result of accident
or of design, and if of the latter, whether OIL
no it was in accordance with some table Of
clerical precedence, framed by the owners OF
the line,-St. John Neacs.

with England. We saw one of the circulars,
that the commissioned merchants send out to
buyers 1t is stated that these deals were sawed
in Wiscasset, U. s. A., and were without doubt
the brightest deals ever sold in Liverpool. In
their letter to Messrs. Haynes, Foster g. Co.,
after the sale they say, that owing to the dull
ness of business, dealers in Liverpool thought
to buy this cargo, very cheap, but when they
saw the bids from some twenty country mer-
chants, prices Immediately went up. They add
that every one who saw them say they are the
brightest and truest deals ever brought to Liv
erpool
Less modern, and imposing is the mill of Ira
T. Hobson, who is the pioneer in the lumber
business of Wiscasset His mill is some TWEEN
