MUTILATED CURRENCY. When Secretary Boutwell was at the west a few weeks ago, bis attention was called to the difficulty of redeeming mutilated eiirrcm v un der the regulations of the department. Under these regulations deductions are made for the missing portions of the notes beyond a certain extent of mutilation determined by a scale of measurement established in the treasurer’s de partment. Thus, if any portion of the note is torn off, holders, fearful of suffering from de duction, will keep the mutilated currency, pass ing it from hand to band, no one being w illiug to be the last holder, until such notes become utterly valueless, and somebody Anally loses the entire lace value, lliis is particularly the case in the west. The rules of the treasurer’s office apply ‘as well to fractional as to all other cm rency, and already the deductions made in the redemption bureau on fractional currency alone amounted to over $20,000. The secretary has taken the matter under advisement, ami will revise the rules for redemption, making important changes therein. It is believed they will be so modified as to exclude mutilated fractional currency al together from the shaving operation, and that the rules governing the redemption of mutilated legal tenders will he so changed as to obviate the hardships omplaincd of.

Bangor, Oct. 19.—The exercises of opening the European and North American railway, on the part of the company, took place to-day, at Vaneeborough. At half-past eight, two trains of cars, containing the president and suite, the governor general of Canada and suite, Gov. Wil mot of New Brunswick, Gov. Perham of Maine and suite, and oilier invited guests, to the num ber of eight hundred, started from this city and made the run to Vaneeborough in a little less than five hours. All along the route the sta tions were thronged to get a sight of the presi dent, who gratified them by appearing upon the platform, when he was received with hearty cheers. On arriving at Vaneeborough, the place was found gaily dressed in flags of the Union and England. An immense pavilion had been put up, and tables laid to its entire capacity with an elegant and sumptuous repast. As the pres ident debarked from the train a salute was fired and the Jameson Guards, who hadgone up fruiu Ibis city on an early train, peformed escort duty. A train from Sr. John arrived at the same time,and the two people were arranged upon op posite sides of the same tables, where a general fraternization took place ami congratulations and compliments were interchanged. President Jewett, of the railroad, presided, having Presi dent Granton his right and Lord Lisgar on his left. President Jewett welcomed the president, the governor general, the suites and the assembled guests, and presented President Grant, amid tumultous cheers, of which it would be difficult to say whether those from the Ameri ms <>r the provincials were the most hearty. President Grant spoke briefly, and sat down amid the cheers of the assembly. Lord Lisgar, governor of Canada, was then introduced, and was received with loud cheers. He trusted that the enterprise, over the com pletion of which they were rejoicing, would en gage the inhabitants of both countries in amica ble intercourse. He came exptcssly to pay a tribute of respect to the noble president— not more to the office than to the man. He corn plimrnted his action in regard to the treaty; he said that the council of tlie Dominion would submit the treaty at the next meeting of par liament. He had good hopes that nothing to mar the good feeling between the two countries would ever arise. He said Stafford Northcote averred, to an au dience at Exeter, the other day, that a kindly disposition towaid England existed throughout this country to-day. Since the last shot between the countries, two generations had passed; 1871 is not 1771, and the councils over which Glad stone presides are popular councils, established by the will of the people. He hoped the prece dents established by the treaty would stand. He was followed by Lieutenant Governor Wil mot, (lovernor Perham, of Maine, Hon. Win. Aniiund, president of the council of Nova Sco- Im, Hon. Mr. Tiley, Postmaster General Cres well and others. The festivities were continued till a late hour. CONNECTICUT.

The FpiNcopal C'ouveiitiou. Baltimore, Oct. 19.—1 n the Episcopal con vention, the committee on canons reported, in expedient to amend Hie canon relative to mar riage and divorce; also, inexpendent to create the office of suffragan bishop. A minority re port favors a new canon on the latter subject. Both were tabled. Rev. Dr. Meade, of Connecti cut, from the joint committee on the ritual, re ported a canon recognizing, on the part of this church, no other law of ritual than it has itself accepted and provided, viz: First, the Book of Common Prayer, with the offices ordinal ap pended, as constitutionally amended; second, the canons ol the church of England In use in the American provinces before 1789, and not subsequently superseded, altered or repealed bv general or diocesan legislation. Concerning ritual observance, the administra tion of law appertains to the ordinary, whose decision will he held as a settlement of the ques tion, except that contradictory’ decisions shall be subject to revision by bishops. A resolution was also presented, providing torn joint com mittee of three bishops, three presbytes, and three laymen, to report at the next convention, what portion of the canons of the Church of England of 1608 were iu use in the American provinces in 1789; how they have been modified or repealed, and whether any portion requires such action. An amendment was offered, that the above cannot go into operation until after said report be acted upon by the general convention. The whole subject was assigned to to-morrow. The canon is understood to have been written by Bishop Whiitiugham, and adopted by the en tire joint committee. A message was received from the house of bishops, that they had adopted the New York Bible society’s edition of the Common Prayer Book as the standard edition, and provided for the custody of the stereotype plate thereof; also adopted resolu tions that the fund fur the relief of widows and orphans of deceased clergymen, and of aged, infirm or disabled clergymen, Ire recommended to the generous sympathies of the whole church. The committee on canons reported an amend ment to canon 21, to prevent alienation of build ings ami erounds to parties or corporate bodies ol congregations no longer in accordance with the doctrine, discipline or worship of the church. 1 he amendment grows from the Cheney uiatter at Chicago. A communication was received from the rector of Grace church, Rome, Italy, asking legislation giving congregations worship ping in foreign countries parochial rights and representation in the general convention.
