Tile following Prayer, (from the 17th Psalm) formed
part of the Church Service yesterday, and seems pe-
culiarly applicable to the case of her MAJESTY :

" Shew thy marvellous loving-kindness, 0 thou that savest
by thy right hand then, which put their trust in thee from those
that rise up against them. Keep me as the apple of the eye ;
hide me under the shadow of thy wings from the wicked that
oppress me—from my daily enemies who compass me, about.
I',l;itea/ are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they
proudly. They have now compassed us in our steps:
they set their eyes bowing down to the earth : like as a lion that
is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in se-
cret places. Arise, 0 Loan, disappoint him, cast him down:
deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword ; from men
which are thy hand, 15 LORD, from men of the world, which
have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with
thy hici.treasure : they are full of children, and leave the rest of
their substance to their babes."
