SCOTLAND AND CANADA.

English people seem to be a little taken aback at the vigorous spirit of independence displayed in the recent dispatch of a Scottish Trade Mission Ship to Canada. The extraordinary success of the venture in Montreal-40,000 visited the ship on the first day and by the end of the week £100,000 worth of goods had been ordered (including dogs)—is sure to have an encouraging effect on the depressed spirits and drained resources of the home country. Sentiment between Canada and Scotland is naturally strong.
