SIR GEORGE"GRErS LETTER TO THE
ARCIIBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.

"Whitehall, April 1, MI.
"My Lord Archbishop,—l have received the Queen's
commands to tmusmit to your grace the accompanying
address, which has been presented to her Majesty, signed by
a very large number of lay members of the united church of
England and Ireland, including many members of both
houws of parliament.
" Her Majesty places full confidence in your grace's de-
sire to use such means as are within your power to maintain
the purity of the doctrines taught by the clergy of the
Established Church, and to discourage and prevent innova-
tions in the modes of conducting the service% of the church
not sanctioned by law or general usage, and calculated to
Create dissatisfaction and alarm among a numerous body of
its members.
" I am, therefore, commanded to place this address in
your Grace's hands, and to request that it may be commu-
nicated to the archbishop of York, and to the suffragan
bishops in England and Wales, who, her Majesty does not
, doubt, will concur with your Grace in the endeavour, by a
I judicious exercise of their authority and influence, to up-
hold the purity and simplicity of the faith and worship of
, our reformed church, and to reconcile differences among its
members injurious to its peace and usefulness.
" I have the honour to be,
" My Lord Archbishop,
Your Grace's obedient servant,
"O. Guar,
" Ibis Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury."

the injuries which he inflicted. Ile is now in custody
awaiting the result of a coroner's inquest.

sth instant, the examination of Ann Averment, charged
with having caused the death of her mistress, Mrs. Ann
lkarlove, of Leverington, by mixing arsenic in a pudding,
which deceased ate and died, was brought to a close. The
proceedings began on the 22udult., and had been adjourned
to the 2ith, the 29th, and then to Saturday last. The evi-
ldense was of a very voluminous character, but it is urine-
; cessary to repeat it, as all the important facts connected
with the case have already uppearcsl in our columns. The
magistrates, at the conelw.ion of the examination of the
• witnesses, announced that they had come to the determina-
tion of sending the prisoner for trial, and she was accord-
: inxly committed.
KILBURN STATION.—It appears that the Loudon
and North-Western Railway directors have determined to
1 accommodate the densely-thronged district of Kilburn with
railway accommodation. The people of Kilburn have long
caveted boon. _ .
