THE SCOTS' CHURCH SECES SIONISTS DEFEATED.

The report of the special commission ap pointed to defend the interest? of . the Church, as against the Scots' Church would be secessionists, was laid before the Vic torian Presbyterian Assembly on November Ctb. It expresses gratification at the action taken in the matter of the bill by the Church bf England in both of the dioceses, by the Wesleyans, the Primitive Methodists, the Bible Christians, and the executive of the; Congregational Union. It relates in detail the steps' taken to oppose the bill, which the promoters, it states, have decided absolutely to withdraw, and finally it places on record the services rendered in this regard by Mr It. Harper, M.L.A., and Mr JT M. Davis, the law agent of the Church. After the report was laid on the table, Mr Harper gave '■ notico of several motions, the objects of which are to- continue the Rpecial commission so as to hold a visita tion, &c, with the view of bringing the congregation of the Scots' Church into proper relations with the Assembly,' and the inhibiting of the present Board of Manage ment of that Church from doing work which should be done by the trustees. An appeal by the Key. \V. Groundwater Fraser occupied the attention of the Assembly up to a late hour of the evening. Mr Fraser wae, some time ago, deposed by the Melbourne Presbytery from the moderatorship of Scots' Church, because of having opened a meeting which had been forbidden, and at which the Secession Bill was formally approved of. Against that decision, which reflected on his loyalty to the Church, Mr Fraser now appealed, hold ing that there was no course open to him but to formally open the meeting in ques tion. After a warm discussion the appeal was dismissed by 80 votes to 15.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Osprey—Were There Two or Three?

(To the Editor),

?ißi—l enclose fo\x a copy of a letter, and an extract from a recent "publication, both of which, if you think them of sufficient in terest, you are Welcome to publish. The parties mentioned therein were all at pno time well known in New Zealand, and the' sawmill referred to is* historic as the first ever' erected here. The site Is known to this day as Mill Bay, and was my birth,, place. . Cornwallis. was", the name of an ancient township npw;ertinctj but -which at that time contained several hundred in habitants, prominent amongst whom were Mr Lawlor, R.M., of the Thames, the late MrFoley.and many others now no more. The " Campbells of Melfort," from which the extract is taken, is a genealogical work published for private circulation, a copy of which was kindly sent to me by the authoress, and in thanking her for her gift I naturallyreferred to the Osprey as connected with New Zealand, and then became aware, for the first time, that there; must have been two, and now from your paragraph of last night I find- there must have been three—the one here in 1843, the man-'o-war wrecked in 184G, and the 6ther mentioned by your correspondent as here at the time of the Californian diggings. Possibly' thd first and the last may have "been one and' the same, and if so probably the is the> vessel which rescued the Claimant. I hope sonic of the very oldest identities may be able to identify the various Ospreys, and.in con nection with this I should like 1» know whether the figure-head at the naval dep6{ is the historic one or another.
