Dearly beloved brethren and children in Jesus
Christ,—Divine Providence having again caused the song
of thanksgiving to resound through the nation,,by the birth
of another Prince to our beloved Sovereign, we invite
you to manifest your gratitude to the great Ruler
of kings and empires, whose mandates we obey
in submitting to . the delegate of this power, and
whose Sovereignty we reverence in revering the
august Queen of these realms ; and whilst your
hearts are poured forth in gratitude and affection
before the altar of God for this fresh proof of his
benevolence to the nation, fail not to implore a continu-
ance of the Divine protection to her Gracious Majesty
and the Royal infant. Beseech him whose wisdom and
power meetly dispose all things for the good of them
that love Him to ender* her Majesty with Christian
wisdom, with heavenly fortitude, and with Divine
charity, that she may so govern these realms with pru-
dence, justice, and benevolence, that an eternal crown
of unfading glory and happiness may succeed to the
perishable crown of anxious responsibility, which at-
tends worldly empire.
" That you may all unite with one heart and one
voice in these fervant acts of thanksgiving and supplica-
tion, we direct that, on the first Sunday after the re-
ceipt of this pastoral letter, there be recited or sung in
every chapel, Te Deum, Laudamils, with the Versicle
and Response, Benedicamus &c., and the prayer Deus
cujus miseracordim, &c., and Domine salvam fac, &c.,
with the usual prayer for the Queen and Royal Family
—in Latin or English.
Amen."-1 irhe

HER MAJESTY AND THE INFANT PRINCE.—.-011
Saturday the following " form of song and thansgiving"
was offered at all the synagogues throughout Great
Britain on the accouchement of her Majesty the Queen,
and the happy birth of a Prince:—" Aleim, 0 Lord God,
King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, whose dominion is
everlasting, in Thy great goodness, dost Thou bestow
Thy kindness on all the inhabitants of the universe.
Through Thee Kings reign and Princes administer jus-
tice; on them hast Thou placed the kingly diadem.
With song of thanksgiving do we approach Thee, and
with praise and blessings for Thy favour shown us, that
Thou hast vouchsafed to visit our Sovereign Lady Queen
Victoria with mercy and salvation. Thou art lie who
giveth to the weary strength, and to the feeble power.
In Thy great kindness and mercy Thou didst shield her;
Thou didst release her in safety from her suffering, and
hast granted to her a son. 0 Lord ! bestow on him
length of days in health and prosperity, and may his
name be praised and extolled. Thou, 0 Lord, be
with him for ever ! Amen. Most High King, whose
eyes are open upon all created beings, as Thou hast in
Thy goodness given the Kingly crown to our gracious
Queen Victoria, so continue to bestow on her Thy
favour, to strengthen her, and may her throne be esta-
blished in mercy and kindness. May her days be pro-
longed, and her reign continue in happiness. May
the sceptre not depart from her prosperity, but sheild
her and her offspring, and grant to him the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and
might. May peace reign in their habitations, and tran-
quillity in their dwellings, and may the beauty of the
Lord be upon them ! Amen. Let Thy blessings attend
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the illustrious consort
of our most gracious Queen ; may he live to behold his
descendants to the third and fourth generation, flourish-
ing and prosperous in theLfullness of Thy bounty. In
his days and ours may Judah be saved and Israel live in
comfort. Amen. May He who dispenseth salvation
unto kings and dominion unto princes, whose kingdom
is the kingdom of the whole universe, who delivered his
servant David from the sword of destruction, who
maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty
waters, may He bless, preserve, and elevate to the
highest degree our sovereign lady Queen Victoria, the
Prince Albert, Albert Edward Prince of Wales, Ade-
laide, the Queen Dowager, and all the Royal Family.
May the supreme King of Kings, through his mercy,
grant Queen Victoria life, preserve her from all sorrow
and grief, save her from all danger, subdue nations
under her feet, cast her enemies down before her, and
cause her to be successful whereuntosoever she may
turn. May the supreme King of Kings, in his mercy,
inspire her heart, and those of her councillors and
nobles, with benevolence towards us and all Israel ! In
her days and ours may Judah be saved. Israel dwell in
comfort, and the Redeemer come unto Zion. Oh I may
such be the Divine will ! And let us say Amen." The
choir sang the 21st and 40th Psalms.

A WHALE.—STRANGE OCCURRENCE. —On the
night of Friday last, while a fishing boat belonging to
Thurso was riding at her nets in Markle Bay, a large
whale came up to the side of the boat, and lifted his
head over the gunwale ! One of the crew, who was at
the time sitting lighting his pipe, was considerably in-

to their assistance, otherwise the men would, in all pro-
bability, have perished. The mast and four oars were
broken, and the boat had to be towed ashore. The
bottom of the boat being painted white, is supposed to
have attracted the attention of the moster. The man
who was injured has recovered. There were immense

The remains of the late Ralph John Lambton,

THE TIMES WE LIVE IN.—During the recent ex-
. mination of insolvent debtors at Taunton, the case of
a farmer, residing near Bridgwater, who had a family of
twenty-one children, came before the Learned Commis-
sioner, upon which his Honour remarked that he could
not wonder at a man becoming insolvent who had so
numerous a family of dependents in the present hard
times.
PROLIFIC CROPS.—In the garden of Mr. Blackford,
of Blockley, in this county, was picked up, a few days
ago, a branch of an apple tree, six inches in length, and
bearing upon it a cluster of no less than thirty-five
apples. Also in the garden of Mr. Bennett, of Chesnut-
walk, in the suburbs of this city, a single pea-stalk was
plucked, a few days ago, on which were found no less
than 101 pods ! It bears the name of the branch-pea."

CHEAP TRAVELLING.—We have seen nothing yet
in the way of travelling which equals for cheapness a
projected journey to Liverpool from London by rail,
which is to take place on the 19th instant, and from
Liverpool back to London on the 29th instant. The
journey is projected to give travellers an opportunity of
visiting Scotland, Ireland, Wales, the Lakes, and the
Isle of Man; and is one of those extraordinary pleasure
trips, which are now so frequent, and are performed so
cheaply from being participated in by a great multitude.
It is an exemplification of the great principle that the
cheapness of any production of art becomes great in pro-
portion as its advantages are shared by numbers,
