"TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

"SIRE—We, the undersigned, your Majesty's most dutiful
and loyal subjects, inhabitants of the city of Canterbury and
its vicinity, most humbly approach your Majesty to express
our joy and thankfulness that God has been pleased to bless the
labours of several Societies in Ireland formed to afford instruc-
tion to our fellow-subjects. In the midst of the powerful and
unceasing opposition of the Roman Catholic Priesthood, edu-
cation and the knowledge of the Scriptures have been progres-
sively advancing in the Island, until we have reason to believe
that near half a million of scholars are receiving the benefit of
instruction in the word of God.

" We therefore feel it to be our duty, with all humility, to
lay at the foot of the Throne the expression of our grief that
Parliament should, in spite of such manifest good, have with-
drawn its aid from one of the most efficient of those Societies
upon the unprotestant objection that the reading of the Holy
Scriptures without note or comment is obnoxious to the Roman
Catholic Church ; and that your Majesty, under mistaken ad.
vice, should have been persuaded to issue a Commission for
Education in Ireland, a prominent feature of which is dirsettly
at variance with one of the first principles of the Reformed. Re.
ligion, for the maintenance of which your Majesty's ancestor's
were placed on the British Throne.
" We, therefore, most humbly but most earnestly implore
your Majesty that you will be graciously pleased to revoke the
Commission, which, as Protestants, we deem to inflict an im-
proper restraint on religious liberty; and as Christians we be-
lieve to be directly opposed to the Divine Will, and to the
present and future welfare of your Majesty's subjects.
" And your Majesty's dutiful subjects will, as in duty bound,
ever pray," &c.

LITERARY NOVELTIES.—Whatever may be
said of the present state of literature, it is quite certain that no
former season has been so rich as the present in works in fiction.
There are at this moment contending for priority of fame no
less than four works, each of considerable merit. The first is
the new production of Mr. Horace Smith, the well-known au-
thor of " Brambletye House," and " Zillah," entitled " Tales
of the Early Ages," a work full of novelty, information and
amusement, displaying all that fertility of invention, liveliness
of style, and picturesque powers of description, which have cha-
racterised the other productions of this popular writer. The nar-
ratives comprise stories of Jerusalem, Greece, Egypt, Germany,
Britain.--2, A new novel by Mr. Galt, the famed author of
" the Ayrshire Legates," and " Lawrie Todd," designated
" Stanley Buxton, or the Schoolfellows," which is characterised
by this writer's usual acuteness and originality. The third
work is Mr. Leigh Hunt's " Sir Ralph Esher, or Adventures
of a Gentleman of the Court of Charles II," in which all the
celebrated characters of that gay period are exhibited in the
most vivid eolouys.-4. The " Adventures of a Younger Son,"
in reality those of the celebrated Trelawney, the intimate friend
of Lord Byron.

ON DlT.—During an interview, some days
since, between an Illustrious Personage and an Ambassador for
his family dominions, the Monarch is said to have addressed
the diplomatic to the following effect :—" I hear there is a
great deal of correspondence going forward between yoitr
capital and Berlin, wherein that Court is strongly urged to
delay the ratification of the Belgian treaty till the Reform
Bill is thrown out ; now, write to your people that the Reform
Bill will not be thrown out, that it will pass—nay, it shall pass;
and, likewise tell them this, that no Minister ever possessed a
King's confidence so entirely as Earl Grey does at this mo-
ment."—Merning Advertiar.
