The Scottish Delegation.—The British corres piiillent of the Observer writes:Principal Fair hitirn is, perhaps, the most learned theologian that Scotland at present nosaesses: He began his minis terial career in the Shetland Wands, where, he had rare opportunities for study; and was, after a time, translated to the pariah of Saltan, in East LOthian, where he was at the time of the Disrup tion.' He" then withdrew from the Establishment, and a year or two _afterwards was appointed by the Free Church, one of its professors - in Aberdeen. Still later he was transferred to Glasgow, to the Presidency of the college there; and on his name chiefly the reputation of that Seminary now rests: He is physically a noble looking man, having a good deal of the appearance of an English Bishop, and he is as noble as he looks. Two young minis ters are to accompany the deputation. Mr. Wells, of the Wynds, in Glasgow, and Mr. Charles McCrie, a grandson of the, author of the "Life of Knox." Mr. Wells is a representative man. He is one of the Free Cburch Home Missionaries. He has first rate abilities ; and the congregation of St. Johns, Edinburgh, when they lost Dr. Guthrie, would only have been too glad to get him ; but he has devoted himself to the reclamation of the the outcast popu laden of the great city of the West; and. the re markable success which has followed the efforts of himself and his co-adjutors seems quite to justify his consecration to the service. The U. P. Presbyteries are still exercised 'on the Close Cominuion Question; and delegates are chosen to the Assembly with regard to their sentiments on the McCune case. Sidney ( 0.) Presbytery, after considerable discussion, agreed to unite with the Philadelphia Presbytery in memorializing the Gen eral Assembly to send down in overture to the Pres byteries the "'Statement" recently adopted by said Presbytery; which seems to us to indicate a moder ate policy; as admitting that the gag-law proposed (in the overture) for dissentients, is not the law of the Church. Albany, (N. Y.) Presbytery enjoined its delegates to the General Assembly "to carry out the principles of the U. P. Church on the subject of communion, as set forth in the 10th article of our Testimony." New York Presbytery adopted a long paper, de claring in the face of facts, that whatthe church needed was, not less but more rigidity, that the Church's chief end is not the conversion of sinners and the subjugation of the world to Christ; and that, without admitting that the standards are ob scure; they cordially united in urging on the atten tion of General Assembly to the Philadelphia over ture. Westmoreland Presbytery resolved, "That in case the Union Sabbath-school at Coultersville will not use- the Psalms exclusively, our members be directed to withdraw from it, and to conduct one on the principles of the U. P. Church," and also voted an appropriation of two hundred dollars for 'this (Coulterville) mission during the coming year: Light 121 Egypt.—The United Presbyterian Mis sion in Egypt have established at Cairo a printing press, which marks an evectful era' in that dark land.

Moreover, added Dr. Lee, had the early Church resolved to debar any member from communion, they would not have been so in consistent as to have stopped short at erasin g his name from the roll of communicants, but they would also have forbidden him to appear at their religious gatherings, - seeing they regarded the union of any one with them in the act of public prayer or praise to be as emphatically church communion as his union with them in the celebration of the Lord's Supper.—ln Duitulee a church is to be built as a Memorial of the Rev.

Id the next period of twenty-eight years it grew from 65,981) to 250,890, or nearly fourfold. From 1830 to 1814, it swelled to 1,1.75,214; which is a fourfold growth in twenty-four, years. The disruption took place in 1844, and the Methodist Church South was organized. This event appears to have worked disastrously to both parties, as•indicated by the remarkable change in the rate of increase which followed. For example in 1848, the Methodist Church North is put down as liang 1330,066 members ; and after seventeen years, 1865, it reaches only the number of 929,229, or a gain of 290,163. Had it gained at its former rate, it would have reached about 1,500,000. The number of members in the Methodist Church South for 1865, is put down at 708,949 which indicates a still lower rate of increase than in the Church North. Per haps the war had much to do with this. Had the two diVisions continued to advance at their rate of progress prior to 1844, they would in 1865, have to gether reached the prodigious number of four mil lions of members! As it is they amount together only to 1,628,205.
