Before we go more minutely expansively lido the main subject
of this paper, justice seems to suggest some notice of the pasto-
ral predecessor of Mr.Raflles. The late Rev. WM. Hy weft Ertl'
had been " by his friends designed for the Established Church),
but he became, on full conviction, a decided, though a liberal
Protestant Dissenter, from the perusal of the Reverend Samuel
Pa-litter's ' Protestant Ditsenter's Catechism ; a little publica-
tion, which, in a narrow compass," obsezVes the aiverenci Dr.
Winter, "contains a full and satisfactory account of the true
grounds on Which a Separation from the establishment of the
Church of England, may be vindicated." Legitimately dissent •
ing, the pulpit conduct of Mr. Humphreyes was also uniformly
consistent with the principles and deportment of , the Protestant
dissenter. He affected not the canonicals of the established
church. The writer of these papers often heard him, and te-
members some of his discourses to the present hour. Mr. Hum-
phreyes was unquestionably a judicious and impressive preacher;
one who, as such, was" uniformly humble and persevering ;"
and who properly " hesitated in admitting conclusions, of which
he had not diligently and impartially examined the premises :"
so that, continues Dr. Winter, " a manly decision of character,
mingled with the most unassuming modesty and the most generou s
kindness, marked all that he did." Together with much of whai
is termed general knowledge, " his theological knowledge and
acquaintance with the Scriptures were pre-eminent." Nor was
this all. Mr. Humphreyes " was well acquainted with the
world and with the human heart,"—acquainted with the consti-
tution of man, and the constitution of society,--•which excel-
!enly qualified hint for his ministerial work. His religious prin-
ciples were those which are denominated calvinistic, principles
embraced " after minute and impartial enquiry ;". and, nnlike
many modern preachers, who profess without preaching them*
these reiigous principles were conscientiously avowed and openly
asserted by him. "It was not in a sphere of very large extent,"
hiiviever, that this able, faithful, and useful preacher was "adapt.
ed to shine." Yet he was well and much known. He sought
not the world, but the world sought him.

IThe uncommon length of obsrvation into which this article
naturally branches, induces me to postpone the conclusion of it'
till next week ; when there will be ample matter, as connected

THE ART&
GUILDPIALL.

The Committee appointed to carry into execution the resolu-
tion of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council, of
the City of London, for erecting a Statue of MS. IVtilesty (in
marble) in the Council Chamber at Guildhall, met on Tuesday
last, for the purpose of opening the letters of the Candidates, in
order to ascertain the name of the Artist whose model had been
chosen, and to carry into effect the directions of the Court there-
on. It avpeared that Mr. Chantrey was the' sudcessflal
date, and it must have been very gratifying to his feeling, as an
artist, to have been appointed, at a, very early period of his lifer
to execute this highly honourable and important W OTC
The figure represents his Majesty standing' in hlw robes,
in the act of replying. to an Address of the Qity of Lon-
don, which Address he holds in hi 3 left hand, in the form of a
scroll, marked with the City Arms :—ln the back ground is a
. pediment, on which are described the emblems of Commerce,
Agri...ulture, the Arts, and Manufactures:--and the pediment:
supports the Globe (on which are delineated the tracts observed,
, • by the principal Cireuninavigators of the present reigi), encir-
cled by the British 1:1-.T. This emblem if characteristic of the
triumphant command the British Flag possesses in evigy quarter
of the World—the natural and necessary consequence 01 the
ivlendOtir of our Naval Superiority.
The' figure of his Majesty is' graceful and well proportioned.
Mi. Chantrcy haa'also been particularly happy in the- choice of'
his emblems, and pays a well-merited compliment our
• loved Sovereign, for that liberal protection which his Majesty
halal Ways extended to the Fine Arts. We do not remember to
