SCOTLAND.
The Commission of the Church of Scotland have adopted indignant re- solutions, moved by Mr. Hill, upon the Romish invasion. Parenthetical assaults on the Free Church were made by Dr. Bryce; and an attempt was made by Dr. Mackenzie to censure the Romamstic tendencies in the English Church, which was overruled on representations by Dr. Simp- son and others of the "inexpediency" of such an interposition.
The Commission of the Free Church have done likewise. The resolu- tions were moved by Dr. Candlish with characteristic enforcements. He referred with contempt to the wishywashy opposition of Tractarians, as meant to beguile the public; but confessed that he has great apprehensions of a large outbreak of Popery in a circle of individuals of the highest and most cultivated minds in Scotland.
