THE TITLE OF MAJESTY.--nENRY

was the first King of England who slimmed the title of
Majesty, which is still retained. Betwe that reign the Sove-
reigns were usually addressed by the style of "My Liege."
and " Your Grace," the latter of which epithets was ori-
ginally conferred on limn' IV. ; "Excellent Grace"
was given to Ifxway VI. ; "Most High and Mighty
Prince," to EDWARD IV. ; "Highness" to IIiNRY VII. ;
which last expression was sometimes used to Hitsn't VIII.,
and sometimes " Grace," until near the end of his reign,
when they gave way entirely to the more lofty and appro-
priate appellation of "Majesty," being the expression
with which Faaucts I. addressed him, at their interview
in 1520, at Guisnes, commonly called the Field of the
Cloth of Gold. The Emperor, CHARLES V., had, how-
ever, a short period before taken that novel and high-
sounding title, and the polished French Monarch lost not
so favourable an opportunity of complimenting our then
youthful !Intim—Mirror.

large contingent of Roman Catholics which Ireland con-
tributes to this colony, as in cheering the depression of
exile, and aiding in the redemption of character, there
cannot ho any mare powerful and efficacious necessaries
than the consolation and the influence of religion.''_

UNIFORMITY.--Sir WALTER SCOTT has
told us, that in a certain parish there were two pair of
stocks, one on each side of the 'Squire's gate. The Ma-
gistrate having committed a vagabond to one of these places
of airy custody, was surprised to see another person in the
other pair, and on asking the constable to explain the eir-
cumatanee, the official person said, " Why your Worship,
as there is a pair of stocks on each side of the great Fittest,
I thought it would not look well to see 4 man in one pa►r and
nobody in the other ; so I took up the first fellow I found
on the road, and clapped I►im in, just for uniformity."
