The Government has revived a demand against the heritors of Brechin for the teinds due to the obsolete bishopric of that name; a claim which had fallen into disuse for several years. The arrears claimed are 4,9311. 198.9d, A meeting of the Spottiswoode Society has been summoned with a view to its dissolution. The Society was instituted for the purpose of republish- ing the writings of the Scotch Episcopalian divines; and it was in answer to one of the Spottiswoode publications that the Duke of Argyll wrote his recent work on Presbyterianism. The Woodrow Society, which com- menced prior to the Spottiswoode, and issued works connected with Pres- byterian literature, is also about to be abandoned. The Calvin Society, re- stricted to the works of Calvin, and the Spalding Club, limited to the archae- ology of the Northern counties, still go on.—Daily News.
