Education being the iirtrumental cause of our happiness, and religion the focus towards which con centre all our celestial enjoyments, it is a duty incumbent on every parent to store the infant minds of their tender off spring with the golden treasure of necessary information, at least with such a portion as their means may be capable Q f affording. The good effect of early implanting the advantges result ing from Christianity is sufficiently obvious : it tentls to soften the most obdurate, and invigorate the more pliant inelinaticns: it instils into the mind dutifulness to parents, submission to insttuctors and the spiritual and judicial authorities, kindness and civility to all matAind, and watch fulness of Heavenly duties. Are not these most essential acquisitions ? Do they not effect comfort to the possessors, happiness to parents, and Myatt delight to the whole human race? In all our afflictions and distresses ; in adversity and prmperity ; in all our affairs, whether human or divine; in short, throughout every situation of life. it is our only support. Without education our minds might stil have been enveloped in dirkness, and the hidden mysteries con taned in the inspiied writings of the Evangelists and others remained concealed. We here see the beneficial results of truly Christian piety, and the imr.erious necessity of embracing religion as our only enre guide to a blessed eternity Let every pa rent, guardian, and tutor, con•ifler himself as a shepherd to those committed to his care and protection, and endea your to qualify his little flock for their respective stations, and make thr , m acceptable in the sight of God: also het every pastor, not only exhort to repentance, and renun c!ation of evil deeds, but practice and follow tln•se things they teach which are necessary to Anlvition ; whereby these vines, planted in a fertile vineyard, and under their cultiva tion, may not be as the barren lig cc, dry and withered, (Mark chap. 12, vers. 20, 22) but, by example as well ;:s precept, bring forth fruit to perfection, their boughs hang ing down exuberantly with iyolden clustres, mellow and pre pared for their spiritual shepherd, when he shall gather them into his heavenly fold. This subject being capable of farther extension, I shall em bnce an early opportunity of renewing these remarks. Chapel Street, Salford, Maurlieste r. I. C. FASHIONS VOR JULY. GENEnAr.

JUBILEE. The Grand Jubilee now preparing in the Parks is to take place upon the Regent's birth-day.

To this fair all the best shows and booths in the country are to be admitted, mid placed in the most beautiful and perfect symmetry possible. Licences arc to !re grant ed to respectable Victuallers for the est;',6lisln»ent of tei-porary buildings for the refre-lonent of the people.

A balloon wir ascend, and the eve w ing will close with tire works on the terrace of Keesington C t, dens, • and another in the Green Park, disphyed from a magnificent il.u , initiated temple, which will undergo varimv metamorphoses At the same time, St. lames': Pork, with :l rtgatta on the Canal fir the ila 's amusements, and a pi omenade with an encampment, mill be open to all person; who, in (mhr to avoid a (P.m', may choose to par:base tickets of admisoitai.

The w - lifde will, by this ar rangement, be visible to all the people assembled : lint fir the accom modation of all sorb as wish to avoid a vencral mixture with the crowd they may be separated, so that no disappointment of any kind can be experienced—no partiality can bi: complained of; the wi •lirs of all will be provided for ; the poor will, in the true vitit of a national festival, have every possible amusement gratis.. ; the rich may pnrehase the ac: nimmtlation of a less oceurievl space, while the amusements of all *ill he equal, and indeed universal ; and the fund raised by the sale of the tickets (issued only, it is mitler.too - 1, for the due accommodation of certain classes) will he appropri.ited to some great and benevolent endowment, suited to the occasion and commemorative of it.--Every department of the Government w ill contribute by loan to the general effect certain stores noenow hi immediate demand, owing to the present happy state of public I i affairs ; the cost, therefore, of this splendid jubilee will be as it wile little more than nontimal, while the fund thus to be raised for a great I benevolent object will be an iteltial guilt to the public. HYDF PARR. - Of forty two ?mats, which have been building at Woolwich, five were on ‘Vednesday morning brought to the Park cn caravans, and launched into the Serpentine River, preparatory to the Review. The vessels are about forty feet keel, and in breadth almut twelve feet —we mean their bearings; they appear to be pierced for ten guns eaf.ll; but the upper works are formed of canvas, which represent the ports for the guns. The vessels are tiat•lmttomed, and of a very light texture—they are flush, fore and aft, and rigged in ship fa4iion, but ithout tops or cross•trecs, which make thrill appear like Greek polaeres. We understand there are to he thirty men attached to each vessel. They are moored on the west side of the river. About ten riggers are employed during the course of the day. ST JAmEs's P aRK.—The Inidge is thrown over the Canal, nearly in line with St. James's Palace. The frame work is complete, and all ready for Homing. Four or five temples, some of them with eieht windows, are to be erected in different parts, on the north side of the Park ; one of them stands near the bridge ; they ate to he illuminated itt the most splendid manner. The workmen employed on the Chinese Temple, now erecting on the lawn of Carlten-hoie-e gardens, have been unremitting in than 'Alias; during the last month taey have worked by torch -sight; that is, the men employed Flom nearly sun-rise to son-set have bet!) relieved by another set of men at night. All, however, would not do. 'the undertaking was too gigantic to be completed in time; we mean berrire the departure of the Allied Sovereigns, in compliment ,vhont a variety of arrangements were intended, that are now Al:ld:med.
