The Church in the taritime Provinces.—The Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Nova Scotia, in connection with the Church of Scotland, met in. St. Andrew's church, Pictou, 'on the evening of July 7th.

'Every - Episcopalian edi fice between the Savanab River and Charleston was more or less injured,. some having been 'stripped of weather-boarding, windows, and doors.

The Weekly Register, (Romish) of Lon don, informs us that the Anglican bishops are not to. receive cards: "A private letter from Rome confirms the statement made in the Monde, to the effect that schismatical, but not heretical, bishops will be invited to attend the General Council of the Catholic Church, which will assemble at the Vati can on the Bth of December, 1869. Thus the pre lates of the Greek Church will be asked to come, ' but not those of the Anglican denomination—no doubt, much to the disgust of our Ritualistic friends in England.

The arranging for a union with the Zion M. E. Church, the commis sion appointed being empowered to treat with other Methodist bodies for a like union. (3.)

Now Protestants number 93,000,000, and Romanists 185,000.000—n0t two Papists to one Protestant. There is a steady decline in the leading Papal powers, and a steady advance in the leading Protestant powers. gamut a tip &Anna A PERSONAL EXPLANATION, [The following was meant as a postscript to the letter which appeared last week but was crowded out through the pressure upon our columns.] , At a meeting of his Presbytery, on the 15th ult., in Rev. J. McMillan's:Church,; Alleghany,, the sub scriber withheld his vote against the " suspending , " act of Presl:iytery. Not in the slightest degree for his own sake, but in the dim hope of doing some good, he would like to make public his reasons for not vot ing' against Said action: I. , •He knew4hat airleast- four ministerial brethren" were present to ask their certificates if Presbytery refused' to sxpreas some such way as she did her "protest against the, unworthy action of the late General ,Synod." His vote was withheld in the hope that thus Pres bytery Would be harmonized and held together. If by the action of Presbytery, a pretext was given to distract anddivide the Presbytery, this result was not anticipated by the subscriber, or perhaps his course would have been different 2. If the subscriber had- regarded the, action of , 1 Presbytery as, amounting' to, * an •act of secession frorn the Reformed Presbyterian Church, or a, declaration , of independency of General Synodin anything far ther, 'Or else, than the disciplinary measures of the late Synod, he would have voted against it, regard less of consequences. , He is subject to Synod. in ,all lawful things. He has no notion that one unjust or, wicked act of Synod absolves him frordhis proper obedience. He does not think so lightly of the duty he owes his Church as to imagine he can' vote it away at pleasure. When a child feels that hisfather has corrected him unjustly he cannot• rise, up and say, "by that act you hate ab solved me from all obligation to you; ?henceforth I am free." But it is. not believed that an impartial interpreta tion of the language of the Preamble and Resolution adopted by Presbytery would suggest the thought that they involVe a secession from the Church, or a total declinature of the authority of Synod. Such: was not the, intention: of the author and supporters of the, paper, as,expressed in Presbytery at the time of t its adoption. A liberal but.legitimate interpreta tion of the paper would, it is believed, make it mean nothing more than a protest against and a declara-' tibia 'of nen-concurrence in the disciplinary work of Synod at`her late Meeting. • The subscribe'' , deferred to the judgment of his brethren that the method they adopted woiald prov.e the .most effective. Way, of harmonising the ,congre gations under ,their ,care, and of securing the repeal of the eirils Of which they complain. In the mean -* time he rested in the belief that if the action 'of' Presbytery :should-'be found less satisfactory' than was expected <by its friends, it would be reconsidered. and corrected at its next semi-annual meeting. 3. :Bnt, the chief reason retnains to be stated. To have , voted against the resolution, would, in the cir cumstances, have been to , approve and sustain the Synod in, her recent disciplinary, proceedings. •Th'e subscriber Could not easily get the consent' of his own mind to anything that would - . Hive the ap2 pearance of " consenting" to that work.' He believes that at the present time the Mediator is educating his peopletow hi her a. -K :new plane on the subjtkof,Chttrola government than heretofore attainew era is opening, in which the Church will 'use her discipli nary, , po,wer, not as a Procustes' bed,'not for produc ing 'ecclesiastical conformity; not for, making good churchmen, but good Christians. Thei retfent Outbreaks of the old persecuting spirit in many of the churches, especially the Baptist, the Episcopal and our own, together with, the sepulchral attempts at vindication that have appeared in some religions journals, are parts of the ,divine plan for hastening the decision of the contest between ec clesiasticism and Christianity. The .persecutor's ar gument, "we have a law, and by that law he must. did," must be made odious by its employment in our day against such men as Malcom, Tyng, and Stuart; The subscriber's convictions in regard to the di vinity and importance of this struggle are the growth of years. He could not do anything that would seem to place him in conflict with these convictions. Hence he was compelled to vote with the minority in Synod. Hence he could not vote against the resolutitati , Presl bytery adopted on the 15th ult. And hence, he could not now, in case any attempt should be made to con stitute another Pittsburgh Presbytery, on the ground of zeal for Synod and Church order, be a party to any such ,unhappy enterprise.
