great and instantaneous relief from medicines which pro duced very copious expectoration. The amendment was so decided and evident as to inspire the hope that it might be more than temporary, and his Majesty was certainly en abled to pass the ensuing day without any distressing oppres sion of his breathing. For this alleviation of the pain, as well as for the more tranquil rest which he enjoyed during two successive nights, the gratitude to the Almighty felt and expressed by his Majesty was truly edifying. He was frequently heard to give utterance to these sentiments with eyes raised to heaven, in the most sincere and unaffected terms. His patience and cheerfulness had at all times ex cited the astonishment and admiration of all. who had op portunity of witnessing them. No murmur ever escaped his lips ; and often, in moments of the greatest suffering (which was subsequently proved to have far exceeded w hat his physicians had reason to suspect), he testified his grate ful sense of the care and attention of all who approached him, and his regret that he should be the cause of imposing on them the duty of so much painful attendance. At no period from the commencement of the attack had his Majesty been insensible to his critical state ; but, when he alluded to the subject, it was evident that any anxiety which he felt arose less from personal apprehension than from solicitude for the country, and from a contemplation of the embarrassment into which it might possibly be thrown by his early dissolution. It was to such reflections as these that his Majesty gave expression on the morning of 16th, when he observed to the Queen, " I have had some quiet sleep ; come, and pray with me, and thank the Almighty for it." Her Majesty joined in this act of heartfelt devo tion, and when the King had ceased, said, " And shall I rot pray for the Almighty that you may have a good day ?' To which his Majesty replied, " Oh, do! I wish I could live ten years, for the sake of the country. I feel it my duty to keep well as long as I can." On the morning of Sunday, the 11th, grateful for the refreshing rest which he had enjoyed, his Majesty's mind was impressed with the most pure devotional feelings. See ing Lady Mary Fox occupied with a book, he inquired what she was reading, and being told that it was a Prayer Book his countenance beamed with pleasure, but he said nothing. After a considerable lapse of time the Queen asked whether it would be agreeable to him if she read the prayers to him. His Majesty answered, "0, yes! I should like it very much ; but it will fatigue you." He then desired to be informed who preached that morning in the chapel of the Castle ; and when Lady Mary had ascer tained, and told him that it was Mr. Wood who preached, he directed that he might be sent for. When Mr. Wood entered the room, the King said, " I will thank you, my dear Sir, to read all the prayers till you come to the prayer for the Church Militant." By which words his Majesty intended to include the Com munion Service, and all the other parts of the Liturgy used in the celebration of public worship. It was equally an affecting and instructive lesson to ob serve the devout humility of his Majesty, fervently dwell ing, as could be perceived from his manner and the intona tion of his voice, on every passage which bore even the most remote application to his own circumstances. His mind seemed quite absorbed in the duty in which he was en gaged, and to rise for a time superior to his bodily infir mities ; for, during the whole service, his attention was undisturbed, and he experienced none of those fits of coughing and oppression which for some days past had formed an almost uninterrupted characteristic of his com plaint. As Mr. Wood withdrew, his Majesty graciously expressed his thanks, and afterwards said to the Queen— "lt has been a great comfort to me." Nor was this a t-ansitory feeling. To this pure and scriptural source of spiritual consolation his Majesty recurred with unfeigned gratitude ; and on each day of the ensuing week did Lord A. Fitzelarence receive the King's commands to read him the prayers either of the morning or evening service. On one of these occasion, when his Majesty was much reduced and exhausted, the Queen, fearful of causing any fatigue to him, inquired, hesitatingly, whether, unwell as he was, he still like to have the prayers read to him ? He re plied, "0, yes ! beyond everything." Though very lan guid, and disposed to sleep from the effects of medicine, his Majesty repeated all the prayers. The fatal progress of the King's complaint was very visible during the three fol lowing days, June 12th, 13th, and 14th. Neverthele , , on Tuesday, the 13th, his Majesty gave audience to his Hano verian Minister, Baron Ompteda, whom contrary to the suggestioes of his attendants, be had specially summoned on business connected with that kingdom, in the welfare of which he had never ceased to feel a truly paternal interest. On \Wednesday, the 14th, his Majesty received a visit from the Duke of Cumberland. The King's attention to his religious duties, and the great comfort which was inspired by their performance, have already been referred to. It will, therefore, create no surprise that his Majesty joyfully assented to the Queen's suggestion, that he should receive the sacrament, or that he at once named the Archbishop of Canterbury as the person whom he wished to administer that holy rite. Sunday was the day fixed by the King for the discharge of this solemn duty, and a message was accordingly sent to his Grace, desiring his presence at Windsor Castle on the ensuing Saturday. The two intervening days were a period of great suffer ing to the King, whose illness more than once in that in terval assumed the most alarming form, and in the evening of Friday excited apprehensions of his Majesty's imme diate dissolution. The next morning, however, the King felt easier, and the most urgent symptoms had disappeared. In the usual course of business with Sir H. Taylor he signed two public documents, though not without great difficulty ; but on every subject which was brought before him, his Majesty's power of perception was quick and ac curate, and he anticipated with pleasure and thankfulness the approaching sacred duty of the morrow. On the morning of Sunday, the 18th, though his Ma• jesty s mental energies remained vigorous and unimpaired, a greater degree of bodily weakness was perceptible. He raised himself in his chair with greater difficulty than the day before, and required more aid and suppott in every movement. The expression of his countenance, however, was, perhaps, more satisfactory. He transacted business with Sir H. Taylor, and affixed his signature to four docu ments—the remission of a Court-martial, two appointments of Colonial Judges, and a pardon to a condemned criminal. This was his Majesty' s l as t ac t o f S overe i gnty. I ncreas i ng debility prevented the repetition of a similar exertion ; and thus, in the closing scene of his life, was beautifully and practically exemplified by an act of mercy that spirit of benevolence and forgiveness which shone with such pecu liar lustre in his Majesty's character, and was so strongly reflected in the uniform tenour of his reign. It had been arranged, as has been already remarked, that the King should on this day receive the sacrament from the hands of the Archbishop of Canterbury ; and when Sir Herbert left the room it appeared to the Queen that the most favourable time had arrived. The physicians, however, suggested to her Majesty the expediency of deferring the ceremony till the King should have in some degree recovered from his fatigue ; but his Ma jesty had already experienced the blessed consolations of religion, and removed the doubts which his anxious at tendants were entertaining by eagerly desiring the Queen to send for the Archbishop, seeming, as it were, anxious to ratify the discharge of his earthly by the performance of his spiritual duties. His Grace promptly attended, attired in his robes, and at a quarter to eleven adminis tered the sacrament to his Majesty and the Queen, Lady Mary Fox communicating at the same time. The King was very calm and collected—his faculties were quite clear, and he paid the greatest attention to the service, follow ing it in the Prayer-book, which lay on the table before him. His voice, indeed, failed, but his humble demeanour and uplifted eyes gave expression to the feeling of devotion and of gratitude to the Almighty which his faltering lips re fused to utter. The performance of this act of religion, and this public attestation of his communion with that Church for the wel fare and prosperity of which he had more than once during his illness ejaculated short but fervent prayers, was the source of great and manifest comfort to his Majesty. Though the shorter form had been adopted by the Arch bishop his Majesty was, nevertheless, rather exhausted by the duration and solemnity of the ceremony ; but as his Grace retired the King said, with that peculiar kindness of manner by which he was so much distinguished, and at the same time gently waving his hand and inclining his head. " God bless you—a thousand, thousand thanks." There cannot be more certain evidence of the inward strength and satisfaction which the King derived from this office of reli gion than that, in spite of great physical exertions, his Ma jesty, after the lapse of an hour, again requested the at tendance of the Archbishop, who, in compliance with the wishes of the Queen, read the prayers for the evening ser vice with the happiest effect on the King's spirits. This being done, the Archbishop, naturally fearing the conse quences of so much mental exertion on his Majesty's de billeted frame, was about to retire, when the King mo tioned him to sit down at the table, on the opposite side of which he himself was seated. His Majesty was too weak to hold any conversation, but his spirits seemed soothed 4n d comforted by the presence of th e A rc hbi shop, on whose ve and benign count enance hi s M ajesty ' s eye reposed with real pleasure. The King at this interview stretched his hand across the table, and taking that of the Archbishop, pressed it fer vently, saying, in a tone of voice which was audible only to the Queen, who was seated near his Majesty, " I am sure the Archbishop is one of those persons who pray for me." The afternoon of this day witnessed a still further diminu tion of his Majesty's strength, but in proportion to the de cay of his bodily power was the increase of his spiritual hope and consolation. At nine o'clock in the evening the Archbishop was again summoned by his Majesty's desire. The King was now still less able to converse than on the last occasion ; but his Grace remained more than three quarters of an hour, supplying by his pretence the filni. comfort to the King, and receiving from his Majesty the same silent though expressive proof of his satisfaction and gratitude. At length, on the suggestion of the Queen, that it was already late, and the Archbishop might become fa tigued, the king immediately signified his assent that he should retire ; and crossing his hands upon his breast, and inclining his head, said, as his Grace left the room, " God bless thee, dear, excellent, worthy man ; a thousand, thou sand thanks." The whole course of his Majesty's illness affords abun dant proof, not only of his composure, his patience, and his resignation, but that even when under the pressures of great pain and suffering, his mind, from being absorbed with the sad circumstances of his own situation, was often dwelling on subjects connected either with the affairs of this country or with the comfort and convenience of individuals. _ His Majesty rose this morning with the recollection thw this was the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. As early as half-past eight he alluded to the circumstance, and said to Dr. Chambers, " Let me but live over this memo rable day—l shall never live to see another sunset." Dr. Chambers said, " I hope your Majesty may live to see many." To which his Majesty replied, in a phrase which he commonly employed, but the peculiar force of which, those only who bad the honour of being frequently admit ted into his Majesty's society can fully appreciate,* " Oh, that is quite another thing." A splendid entertainment, as is well known, has been always given on that day to the officers engaged in that glorious action, and since his accession to the throne, his Majesty had himself honoured it with his presence. Under the present circumstances, the Duke, naturally feeling unwilling to promote any scene of festivity, had sent Mr. Greville to request the King's commands, or at least to ascertain the wishes and opinion of the Queen. Pre vious to the flag annually presented by his Grace being deposited in the Guard Chamber, it had been brought to his Majesty, who, laying his hand upon it, and touching the eagle, said, "I am glad to see it. Tell the Duke of Wel lington that I desire his dinner may take place to-morrow ; I hope it will be an agreeable one." In the course of the night the Queen observed to his Majesty that the Archbishop had only been invited to stay till the following day, that his Grace wished to be honoured with his commands, and that he had expressed himself not only willing but anxious to stay as long as his services could be either acceptable or useful to him. The King immediately said, " Yes ; tell him to stay. It will be the greatest blessing of God to bear that beautiful service read by him once more ;" alluding to the Liturgy of the Church of England, from the frequent use of the prayers of which his Majesty had been so much comforted and supported in his illness. Monday, June 19.—Though his Majesty passed a to lerably tranquil night, yet no corresponding effect was pro duced upon his health. Decaying nature could no longer be recruited by the ordinary sources of strength and sus tenance. His Majesty, however, rose at seven, for he had at no time during his illness been confined to his bed, and had even for some weeks anticipated by an hour his usual time of rising. There was much in the King's language and manner this morning which bespoke his sense of ap proaching death. Qn awaking, he observed to the Queen, " I shall get up once more and do the business of the country ;" and when being wheeled in his chair from his bed-room to his dressing-room he turned round, and, look ing with a benign and gracious smile on the Queen's at tendants, who were standing in tears near the door, said, " God bless you," and waved his hand. At nine o'clock, by the desire of the Queen, who was natu rally anxious that the hope so fervently expressed by the King on the preceding night might be gratified as soon as possible, the Archbishop entered the King's room, and was received, as at all other times, with the significant tokens of joy and thankfulness which his Grace's presence never failed to call forth. On this occasion the Archbishop read the service for the Visitation of the Sick. The King was seated, as usual, in his easy chair ; the Queen affectionately kneeling by his side, making the responses, and assisting him to turn over the leaves of the large prayer-book which was placed before him. His Majesty's demeanour was characterised by the most genuine spirit of devotion. Though unable to join audibly in the responses which occur in the service, yet, when the Archbishop had rehearsed the articles of our creed, his Majesty, in the fulness of his faith, and labour ing to collect all the energies of sinking nature, enunciated with distinct and solemn emphasis the words—" All this I steadfastly believe." During the whole service his Majesty retained hold of the Queen's hand, and, in the absence of physical strength to give utterance to his feelings, signified by his fervent pressure of it not only his humble acquiescence in the doc trines of our holy faith, but his grateful acknowledgment of those promises of grace and succour which so many pas sages of this affecting portion of the liturgy hold out to the dying Christian, and the belief of which his Majesty so thankfully appreciated in this his hour of need. With the other hand his Majesty frequently covered his eyes and pressed his brow, as if to concentrate all his power of devotions, and to restrain the warmed emotions of his heart, which were so painfully excited by the distress of those who surrounded him. His Majesty did not allow the Archbishop to withdraw without the usual significant ex pression of his gratitude, " A thousand, thousand thanks." It was when the Archbishop pronounced the solemn and truly affecting form of blessing contained in the " Service for the Visitation of the Sick" that the Queen for the first time in his Majesty's apartment was overpowered by the weight of affliction. The King observed her emotion, and said, in a tone of kind encouragement " Bear up, bear up." At the conclusion of the prayers, his Majesty saw all his children ; and as they successively knelt to kiss his hand gave them his blessing in the most affectionate terms, suitable to the character and circumstances of each. They had all manifested the most truly filial affection to his Ma jesty during his illness ; but on Lady Mary Fox, the eldest of his Majesty's surviving daughters, had chiefly devolved the painful, yet consolatory, duty of assisting the Queen in her attendance on the King. The extreme caution of his Majesty, and his anxiety to avoid causing any pain or alarm to the Queen, was very re markable. He never alluded in distinct terms to death in her Majesty's presence. It was about this period of the day that he tenderly besought her Majesty not to make herself uneasy about him ; but that he was already antici pating his speedy dissolution was evident from his expres sions to several of his relatives. Even at this advanced stage of his disease, and under circumstances of the most distressing debility, the King had never wholly intermitted his attention to public business. In accordance with his usual habits, he had this morning frequently desired to be told when the clock struck half-past ten, about which time his Majesty uniformly gave audience to Sir Herbert Taylor. At eleven, when Sir Herbert was summoned, the King said, " Give me your hand. t Now get the things ready." On Sir Herbert saying that he had no papers to-day, his Majesty appeared surprised, till Sir Her bert added, " It is Monday, Sire ; there is no post, and no boxes are come ;" when he replied, " Ab, true—l had for got." The Queen then named Sir Henry Wheatley, who had entered the apartment. The King regarded him with a gracious look, and extended his hand to him, as he did also to Dr. Davies, evidently influenced by the same motive which had prompted a similar action to Sir Herbert Taylor—a last acknowledgment of their faithful services. His Majesty then passed several hours in a state of not uneasy slumber—the Queen almost uninterruptedly kneeling by his side, and gently chafing his hand, from which assurance of her presence his, Majesty derived the greatest comfort. During this afternoon to such an extremity of weakness was the King reduced that he scarcely opened his eyes, save to raise them in prayer to heaven, with a look ex pressive of the most perfect resignation. One or twice, indeed, this feeling found expression in the words, " Thy will be done !" and on one occasion he was heard to utter the words, " The Church—the Church !" and the name of the Archbishop. It was about nine o'clock in the evening of this day that the Archbishop visited the King for the last time. His Maj es ty' s state a l toget h er i ncapac i tate d hi m f rom joining in any act or exerc i se o f d evot i on ; b ut , as at eac h preceding interview, his Grace's presence proved a source of joy and consolation t o th e d y i ng M onarc h , w h o strove i n vain to convey any audible acknowledgments of the bless ings which he sensibly enjoyed ; but when, on leaving the room, the Archbishop said, " My best prayers are offered up for your Majesty," the King replied, with slow and feeble yet distinct utterance, " Believe me, I am a religious man !" After this exertion his Majesty gently moved his hand in token of his last farewell, and the Archbishop withdrew. As the night advanced a more rapid diminution of his Majesty's vital powers was perceptible. His weakness now rendered it impracticable to remove him into his usual bed-room, and a bed was accordingly prepared in the Royal closet, which communicates with the apartment in which his Majesty had passed the last ten days of his life. At half-past ten the King was seized with a fainting fit, the effects of which were mistaken by many for the stroke of death. However, his Majesty gradually, though imperfectly, revived, and was them removed into his bed. From this time his voice was not heard, except to pro nounce the name of his valet. In less than an hour his Majesty expired, without a struggle and without a groan, the Queen kneelin g at the bedside, and still affectionately " It was usually employed by his Majesty to express his dissent or incredulity with regard to any subject under dis cussion. 1- For many years the King had discontinued giving his hand familiarly to any one, and from this deviation from his usual practice Sir Herbert inferred that his Majesty intended to take km of him. THE SUE, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1837 holding his hand, the comfortable warmth of which ren dered her unwilling to believe the reality of the sad event. Thus expired, in the 73d year of his age, in firm reliance on the merits of his Redeemer, King William the Fourth, a just and upright King, a forgiving enemy, a sincere friend, and a most gracious and indulgent master. Bushy House, July 14, 1837. J. R. W. A GRAVESEND STEAMER BURNT. At a late hour last night intelligence was received in town of the destruction of the Medway steam-boat by fire, off Northfleet yesterday afternoon, with 150 passengers on board. The particulars were brought by the Brilliant steamer, which arrived at London-bridge wharf at ten o'clock last night. The following account of the occurrence may be relied on as authentic, it having been furnished us by Mr. F. H. Gibbs, agent of the Star Steam-packet Com pany, to which the vessel belonged : The Medway steamer, it appears, was built about three years back, at Gravesend, and cost 9,0001. She left Lon don Bridge Wharf yesterday afternoon, at half-past one o'clock, with from one hundred to a hundred and fifty pas sengers on board, for Gravesend. The fire was discovered by the principal engineer, who, about four o'clock, on entering the engine -room, perceived smoke descending from the lower deck, just above the boiler. He di rectly communicated the circumstance to the captain, who instantly proceeded to the spot and gave orders that the engines might be stopped, when on the engineer proceeding again to the engine -room, he found the place was completely filled with smoke. He wrapped wet cloths round his mouth, and made another attempt to enter ; but in consequence of the intense heat of the fire and the dense smoke he found it totally impossible, and the crew commenced pouring buckets of water into the room, but no effect was produced on the flames. Captain Smith, finding that th• fire was rapidly gaining the ascendancy, and observing terror prevailing among the passengers, got on the paddle-box, and addressed them, communicating the fact that the vessel was on fire, and urging upon them the propriety of their being calm, as there was no danger, as suring them that if they kept quiet he would run them on shore, and they would effect a perfectly safe landing ; but if, on the contrary, they disregarded his advice, he could not say what the consequences might he. Notwithstanding this the utmost confusion prevailed, and the screams of the females were dreadful. The chief mate, whose name we understood to be Thomas Hobling, had the management of the helm ; he immediately put it in a positioa to carry the vessel towards the shore. Several persons entreated the Captain to run her on the Essex shore ; but the answer was, " No, I will not. I will run her into shallow water." The paddles all this period were in full motion, and the boat soon took the ground ; immediately after which the flames burst forth from the deck and the windows of the cabins. The spot was facing the village of Northfleet, and the in habitants, on becoming acquainted with the state of the vessel, hastened down to the beach to render all the assist ance in their power ; they put off in boats, and laid planks on the mud for the passengers to walk on, but not before several persons, in the alarm of the moment, had jumped overboard, and it is feared some lives were lost ; but the fact, in the confusion which prevailed, could not be ascer tained. Neither the captain nor the mate left the vessel until every person had quitted her, and the latter to save his life was obliged to leap into the river. The wind at the time was blowing violently from the east, which caused the flames to burn with great rapidity. At five o'clock the fire was seen at Gravesend, from which place the engine from the West Kent Fire Office was despatched, with a party of firemen, who soon arrived at the water's edge, and got to work. At this period the whole of the after part of the vessel was one body of fire, and the saving of any portion was considered impossible. The directors of the vessel had arrived and employed between 100 and 200 labourers to assist to stop the progress of the de vouring element ; the firemen conveyed the branches and hose of the engines over the side, and the whole force of the engine was thrown into the hull of the vessel. The last boat that arrived last night, at 10 o'clock from Gravesend was the Brilliant, which left that place at half-past 7 o'clock. When it passed Northfleet, the fire had not been got under, and then it was feared the cala mitous occurrence was attended with loss of life, as several persons were missing ; but it is to be hoped that they ef fected an escape, and are safe. Hamilton, the steward of the vessel, arrived by the Bril liant Gravesend steamer last night, and he gives the same account as Mr. Gibbs. He further states that the fire was supposed to have originated by the lower deck having been built too close to the boilers, and having caught fire. The report that was circulated when he left was that three persons had perished, and that their bodies had been found. The vessel is insured, but not to the full extent of its value. A great many passengers who escaped arrived in town last night by various conveyances, and their description of the occurrence was truly dreadful. The engines of forty horse power, and the extensive machinery is also destroyed. AFRICAN WRESTLERS.—After dinner we ad journed to witness a wrestling-match, between Jacko, a member of the Cameroons Club (whom we had brought over for the purpose), and the champion of Calebar. The stakes were, two chests of guns, two barrels of powder, and ten pieces of cloth, altogether of the value of forty or fifty pounds ; and as the match had been long talked of, it excited great interest amongst the inhabitants. The wrestlers were both powerful men ; but the Calebar hero had evidently been sleeping upon his laurels, and was too mach in flesh. Jacko was not so tall as his antagonist, hut was, 1 think, without exception, the broadest man over the shoulders I ever saw—his legs and arms were literally cables of muscles. They were both oiled all over, and com menced play by approaching each other in a stooping po sition, scraping the ground with their hands, to get the sand to adhere to their oily fingers. The Calebar man made the first spring, which was skilfully avoided by Jacko, who, as his opponent flew past him, caught him by one of his an cies, and throwing him a complete summerset, landed him on his back with a shock that left him insensible for a few minutes. They were re-oiled, and made play again more cautiously. We now saw an interesting display. Laying their left hands upon each other's shoulders, they alternately caught at the heads and legs of each other. After a se vere struggle the victory was again Jacko's, who took his gigantic antagonist under the knee, lifted him fairly in the air, and threw him in the most approved style, his shoulder blades first touching the ground. Although there were between two and three thousand people present, and their champion had been overthrown, the greatest good humour prevailed, and the two principals walked off the ground, the observed of all observers, in a most amicable way.— Laird's Narrative of the Last Expedition into Central Africa. We understand that there is a general sentiment among the citizeas of London in favour of the present Lord Mayor, who has performed the arduous duties of his high office with such honourable impartiality, at the same time that he has so liberally sustained the hospitality of the City. A requisition is about to be presented to his Lord ship, calling upon him to fill the civic chair a second year. —Morning Paper. Yesterday at the meeting of the Board of Guardians of the Edmonton Union, which is held at the Angel Inn, Edmonton, in the Assembly-rooms, the question was taken into consideration as to the expediency of the separation of the parish of Hampstead from the union. After a brief discussion, on the motion being put, it was resolved to put off the subject sine die. A great many of the parishioners of Hampstead are desirous, as they have a local act, that the parish should not form part of the Edmonton Union ; in consequence, the Poor-law Commissioners were memo rialised, when the question was referred to the decision of the board. On Sunday evening a young woman named Smith, a servant in the employ of Mr. Cooper, of Chapel-row, Bermondsey, was running down One-tree-hill, in Green wich-park, when she missed her footing, and was precipi tated with fearful violence to the bottom. Several persons ran to her assistance, and on lifting her up the face of the unfortunate woman presented a shocking spectacle, and her left wrist was found to be broken. She was. carried to the nearest surgeon's, and afterwards conveyed home in a coach. On Saturday the Rev. Dr. Pye Smith, at the re quest of the Belper Temperance Society, gave a public ad dress in the Infant School-room, on the subject of Tempe rance, and although but a few hours' notice was given of the meeting, and an equally short time allowed for the Rev. Dr. to collect and arrange his ideas on the matter, the attendance was respectable and numerous, the lecture com prehensive and forcible, and delivered in a very animated manner, proving that a water drinker of 63 summers was not necessarily cold and spiritless.—South Derbyshire Chronicle. One day last week, a noble fox-hunter called upon a worthy and honest shoemaker in Beith, to solicit his vote. " What are ye gaun to gies ?" said the sagacious Scot— " Are ye gaun to abolish the Corn Laws ?" No. " Are ye gaun to extend the suffrage ?" No. " Are ye gaun to gies the Vote by Ballot, or release the poor Eerish frae their oppressors, by giving them the Corporation Bill ?" No. " What are ye gaun to gies then r" " I am going to defend the Church," replied the noble fox-hunter. "Ye needna put yoursel' to the trouble, man, for God himsel' has said that his church is founded: on a rock, and that the gates o' hell shall not prevail against it ; sae, ye see, my Lord, he'll defend it himsel' against a' spiritual and temporal enemies." " The devil a bit of that he'll do, unless you send men like MC to Parliament." We hear that the said theological fox hunter, whon asked by an elder if he would support the kirk, the ministers, and all the elders, established by law ? " To be sure, I'll support every b of them," was the laconic reply. Woe for Zion, when her priests canvass for such men, and need their support ! THE NEW PARLIAMENT Those marked thus are New Members.
