Improved Silk Hats, equally light, for 12s.—COVINTON and CO., 132, Cheap side, London, and Dale-street, Liverpool, impressed with gratitude for the liberal patronage afforded them, beg to state they are still manufacturing the same unrivalled Bea ver Hats at 20s. which have given so much satisfaction. The medium of an advertisement is too confined to expre-s their perfections ; they arc Waterproof, short in the nap, of the most beautiful colour, oval shape, light, elastic, and of astonishing durability. Their Improved Silk Hats, price 12e., are not made upon common wool bodies, and in some instances brown paper, which deleterious articles have been so long foisted on the Public, but are positively made on the same stuff body as a Beaver, consequently they partake of their elasti city and lightness, without the slighcst pressure on the head, an improvement which has been long wished for. C. and Co. therefore earnestly entreat Gentlemen, pre vious to paying the present high prices, to call at 132, Chrapside, and look at the Hats now offered for their in spection, as they will bear the minutest examination ; in ' deed they court it, being quite confident their Hats, and the principle on which they do business, have only to be known to ensure universal approbation.

The novelty of fact exhibited will command wonder, —only to be explained by the circumstances which have given the author access to public as well as private archives hitherto a fountain shut up, and a book sealed.' The chaste and nervous elegance of the style, and the liberal and truly philosophical cast of thought and sentiment, are what no one need be surprised with, who has read some of his previous writings ; but this performance is every way s more elaborate one than any of those, and of higher pre tensions,—pretensions which we have no doubt the world will pronounce to be justified in the result.

LETTERS OF ~ ANGLICANUS," TO THE EDITOR OF THE EDINBURGH OBSERVER. Sir, —Having been made the subject of various raise and insulting assertions in advertisements, and other forms, to which your columns have been made accessary,. I trust you will allow me, through the same medium, to give some explanation of my cor duct; for though I can willingly and cheerfully, for my own part, take, whence it comes, all the obloquy that the press has for ten days past been employed to pour out upon me ; yet, aspect for my character as a minister of Christ, and for the affectionate con grecation with which I am united, enjoins me not to slight altogether the reproaches, though unjuu, and the' insinuations, though unfounded, that are brought against me. My -adversaryr—for I know riot by what other name in this instance to charac- :etise him,—seems to hold that his assertion eou ers truth on whatever he is pleased to say, turd that the public will credit whatever he asserts, when in the month of December .he proclaims me, iN the newspapers, to be the author of a work, which, in January, in the lnstructor," he declares me to be utterly incapable of producing ; and having, in an adroit but discreditable manner, come at the know‘- Ledge of a circumstance which I really took no pains to conceal—my having had a hand in the publica tion of" Anglicanus' Letters"—he takes upon him, thence, boldly to assert that I had also a share in the authorship; and not having evidence to help him a step farther, he sets about the invention of an hypo thesis, which he :trusts the public will give him credit for being able to substantiate. No doubt he did what he could to turn the printer's brains inside out ; but the poor man could not tell him what he did not know, nor furnish him with any helps to the discovery of the author. The pamphlet opens with an account of the meeting held in the Assitul.4 Rooms on the 9th of July last; and he settles the thing as certain, which I admit to be highly probable, that the individual who writes the, account must have been there, and could riot possibly have been helped to his informatics by the description of another. And, farther, he takes it for granted, that in the crowd said to have been met on that occasion, not one individual could have been present whose person and sentiments were not both so well known to him as to enable him to set aside all who were not, and to fix infallably on the single individual who could have been the author of the first, and, by consequence, of the subsequent letters in the series. Not, however, being quite satisfied with this conclusion, and that individual not being the person against whom he wishes to level his principal attack, he lays hold of me to bear the brunt of his indignation : but still distrustful of his theory, he goes out. of his way to bring in a third person, a relative of the other parties, who, it seemed not unlikely, might have been engaged in the production with the other two. In proof of what ht says, he brings forward a sentence in a publication of mine, between which and the sentences in the letters of Anglicanus he finds a resemblance ; and as I am undoubtedly not Anglicanus, at least now in the month of January, lie strips me of the credit of that sentence, and of several other, chiefly un published, productions, in order to ascribe them, with the greater part of the letters in hand, to certain in dividuals, unknown as authors, and of whose style, neither he nor the public have had the means of forming a judgment. On such rash, reckless, un warrantable conjectures, he is satisfied to institute one of the most brutal and licentious attacks that ever proceeded from his pen. They are, like the multitude of things he continually vends, the pro duce of pure ignorance, linked with an insatiable desire of being thought knowing, and are, with all who are really informed, a full attestation that the matter is still a mystery to him,—of the same cha racter with his advertisements, contrived for eliciting information and provoking discovery. The author, I have great satisfaction in telling Dr. Thomson. is very independent of his opinion, content so fat with the effect of his work, which was not designed to flatter or even to please, and with the proof, which Dr. Thomson's full answer furnishes, of his having found it unanswerable. My share in the publication has been simply this : —The writer of the first letter had presented it anonymously to the editor of a newspaper, by whom it was not received : he felt the want of an intro duction, and applied to me to get it inserted for him in any paper I thought proper, which service I un dertook without difficulty. The other letters were afterwards transferred to me, successively, as they were written, not for alteration, but for publication. My duty by them was to convey them to the prin ter, and to superintend the press. I procured leave to make some retrenchments ; and some expressions, or even sentences, that had been 'put out in the manuscript were restored again in the proof in my hand-writing. Beyond this, I solemnly affirm, I did not go. The preface was not of my composition, and never existed in my hand-writing. The asser tion, that it and the copy of the pamphlet furnished to the printer, were, to a certain extent, in my writ ing, is utterly false. One of the notes, I believe, I had occasion to copy over, but in that I acted the authorship of Anglicanarre ; iw,./e..dis..e.laimincr the resent, as I ought, the extreme insolence of those newspaper interrogatories that have been addressed to me on the subject, importing that I held the im putation a dishonour from which I wanted to escape, and that the work had not as good a right to appear anonymously as any other publication or article pro ceeding from the periodical press. The just right , of the author forbid my admitting of the mistaken imputations of the work to me; though the insulting manner and insidious object of the first manifesto on the subject determined rue against meeting the chal lenge with earlier notice. As to my opinion of it, there are passages, which, if it had been mine, would not have had a place in it. I may say, as Burke of Junius, " I could not have written these letters if I would; and if I could, I would not." Alterations occurred to me, which I should have been glad to have made; but I forbore intermeddling, feeling that to assume a share in the composition of the work might be to involve myself in a degree of responsibi. lity for all its sentiments, a consequence I could by no means accede to. With respect to the church of .vhich I am a minister, and the country in which Providence has fixed my lot, my sentiments must have been cast in a different mould from those of Anglicanus; yet apologise for the views he has taken. We have oei failings and peculiarities, and no wonder if the tile. and the subject rendered them more cons t a h p e ; o t 1 might wish, to a lover of the Bibl d e io, : i,e o v_ c o i ti c al t a Y nd l i n xe‘N:l ; ; circumstances.

I cannot, for my own part, see that uniformity of opinion on the subject of the Bible Society, even if it could have bccil obtained in Edinburgh, would have been well purchased at the expense of gross misapprehension and igriorant contempt of all reli gious professors in the ether parts of the empir e .-- I could not,• at this moment, support the Bible Society, except on the fullest conviction that it engages in no• work but that of tiisseminating the pure word of inspiration, and that it_ is holding out to the nations of Europe an attestation that we out to the nations of Europe an attestation that we reject and condemn ail that makes an unfounded claim to that character. The Committee of .tit.e British and Foreign Bible Society, I am satisfied, labour entirely and heartily to this end, with greater watchfulness and purity, than, perhaps, at any former period; and I can find no reason at all for not . strengthening their hands, or for standing in obsti nate dissent from men whose characters I am con strained to love, and in whose principles and work I can Cold nothing to disapprove of. Many in that association, also, are my fathers and brethren in ~_ C, ~.y ~-r the Ministry, with NVIIOM I have never met nor con versed without deriving advantage; and whatever others do, sentiments of honour ah-d consistency re- quire of me absolutely, and even publicly, to renounce the imputation of countenancing or falling iu nth those who have ftvowed.an unmeasured contempt of them and,their work . , extending to their whole.eha racter and profession a! Christians. Wiih these views I regard with satisfaction the letters of An glicanus, as an able defence of a much injured cause, and a seasonable reproof addressed where it was loudly called for. Dr. Thomson has procured for me much notice from many_ quarters; for to his activity in raising and disseminating a spurious report, I must holA my self indebted for many letters, published and unpub lished, that have been addressed to me. Those front my Sheik's, &c. correspondents, besides being ex tremely mannerless and insolent, had manifestly the same object with Dr. Te's advertisements., I knew them to be in close. correspondence with him, and did not choose that either should benefit by a cont.- deuce, to which their mode of addiea'a and previous , way of obtaining information gave them no title. Their attacks signified nothing to me, to whom they did not reply ; and iii fact they hurt no elle. I should, I am sure, be sorry to have been neces sary, in any way, in offending worthy meti connett ad with my own church ; at the same time, I can not but deeply resent the _conduct of two or three wrongheaded individuals, who have in this, as •in other cases, done what they could to render the church of Stothuid odious to religious persons of all other denominations and contemptible in the eyes ., of the world. I was not aware that Mr. Dodds. of Belford, who is better able to defend a cause thou most of these whose quarrel he has adopted, was entitled to appropriate to himself any share in the reproaches of Anglicanus. Had others bahaved with as much moderation as he, I am perauadod no fault would have been found with their preferenr.e of the Edinburgh. Society. I could have informed these biographers of mine correctly of the place .ef Edinburgh They remind was ' a m oyf placethe sorrows ofx exile, now of my youth, beloved o my birth, and other circumstances, about which they' fall into as many mi s t a k es as a bout my sentimenta.; vea when home ; and of the kindness of him who " setteth the solitary ix families," and who, in the place where I was a stranger, has given me, in the bonds of the gospel, fathers and mothers, and sisters and brothers." But lam charged with ingratitude. I have been, it seems, under great obligations to Dr. T. He has presided over my destiny, and by his account has been the making of me. Strange that I should have lived so long completely unconscious of the benefit he has conferred. I bad all this time ima gined that the patronage of the -Magistrates of Edin burgh had been extended to me wholly on public grounds, and not at all by secret machination:- , The knowledge of what this new patron of mine intt:.' nia of might, had I known it, have marred my pro- . motion; for there is nothing I have always more deprecated for myself in public life' than the inter ference of any political agency. The greatest ser vice I could at any time have wished of him would have been, that he should let my affairs entirely alone. And the feelings that instigated me are, it seems, I , :se envy, sickenhlg spite, and malice against my more fortunate brother, his eminent name, his spreading popularity. I have no reason to doubt what he tells me of the great estimation i i which he should feelings, fe el a greater I scarcely ce re pugnance y know is held : but, as he says, we live in different regions , his greatness does not cross my path; the ne ws of his successes scarcely reaches me in my obscurity ; and, w t he e e m l a t n o with disclo ‘ s v e h my whom I secret at the thoughts of exchanging circum stances. To suffer in the cause o f r i g h teousness , t o be the injured and not the injurious party, to have the testimony of a good conscience, unbroken peace unruffled tranquillity, under reproaches meant to sting, and slanders aimed at the subversion of my character, is no small consolation—carrying in it an earnest of the mercy that sustains, and of the favours yet reserved for use. I have not read to the end of the dish he had prepared for me : I found his matter prolix and unedifying. By what I read I laarn that my faculties arc very weak, my understanding small, my attainments naught, my heart base, vile, and male volent : all which points I feel no inclination to dis pute with him. He has allusions pointed apparently at circumstances in my conduct, and events in my life, that are totally unintelligible to me. The things he perhaps, meant should cut the deepest, have ecuala missed their aim, His imitiltiamt_ rre.tat;toilil those who have known me longest, and are most intimately acquainted with my habits and every-day discharge of my public duties in the Ministry. f have also a more equitable Judge to appeal to, who ga d of the leg a l alas judges a man by the gifts he had], and not by those he hath not, and is satisfied with the faithful occupation of such talents as h e has placed at the disposal of his creatures. Dr. T.- knows lie has no thing to fear from me in re tisement with which such atte mpts as th ose b e ha s made against my profess ional character, entitle me to visit him. On the c ontrary, I acknowl e d g e the new claim he acquires, assuming toward me, ily, the character of au though I hope only e e before, enemy. Whateve r I ma y hav e don feel imperatively imposed upon me to ".love, bless, o d pray for" him.lf iny prayers heard, wbe friends again. At a e may sO°" the duty I now are any rate, contention ja not the element in which I can bear to dwe ll . I s hall be content, having peace, to leave him the la: Word, though he should write that word tt v i c tory. I-lis attempts to injure us are harmless, else I s hould hav e been grieved to find that connection with me should have exposed also another most esteemed and estimable individual to a most wanton atiack. My brother-in-law, happily, does n ot re ceive, nor read, nor hear of the Christian Instructor. It may be long before the mention of this outrage finds its way to him. Neither, I am convinced, does he meddle at all with t h e apocrypha contro versy—the dishonour, I am sorry to say, peculiarly of our order. lie passed nearly a week in my family in the month of October, during which time the apocrypha controversy was not, so far as any one remembers, ever alluded to, or the letters of Anglicanus, then in the printer's hand, so much as I mentioned; yet we are confidentially intimate. I have not even heard from him that he has seen the pamphlet. --I am, Sir, your obedient servant, HENRY GREY. V.dinburgb,- 28th January, 1828. In the ?re*, T HE HISTORY of the PENINSULAR WAR.—By WM.
