" Though there is much to justify anxiety in the favour
which for a while, and in some quarters, those writings
have obtained, there is also matter of consolation,
in the opportunity which has been afforded of manifesting
the soundness of the public mind, and the determined ad-
herence of the country at large to the doctrines of the re.
formation. May I not farther assume, that the same
circumstance proves the. general faithfulness of the mi-
nistry of our church, by`which these doctrines have been
established and maintained ; and which has fixed the opi-
nions of the people on a foundation too firm and solid to
be shaken by the occasional storms which only affect what
is light and weak and wavering.
" Sincerely thanking you for the kind feeling which
prompted your address, and praying that God may grant
you by His Holy. Spirit to have a right judgment in all
things.'

" I remain, Gentlemen,
" Your faithful servant,
J. 8., CHESTER."

7REV. IL W. SIBTHORP.—We are authorised to con-
tradict the statement that the President of Magdalen

TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT TO A CLERGYMAN.—On
Monday afternoon a splendid silver tea-kettle, with lamp,
&c., complete, was presented to the Venerable Archdeacon
Wilkins, D.D., vicar of St. Mary's, Nottingham, on the
termination of his professional connexion with the town,
as a mark of the regard felt towards him by his parishion-

curate of Bishop Middleham, and Walker Featherston-
haugh, 8.A., of the Hermitage, near Chester-le-Street,

NEW CHURCHES AT HUDDERSFIELD.—The trustees
of Sir John Wm. Ramsden, Bart., have most liberally
consented, in answer to a memorial presented to them
by the Vicar of Huddersfield, to afford facilities for the
erection of four additional churches in that large parish.
They have not only allotted sites, but have also promised
£2,000 towards the erection of each church. Sites have
also been granted in various places for schools. The pa-
tronage of the new churches is, we understand, to be
vested in the young Baronet.

of England £lOOO for the Free Church, being £3OO for
the Building Fund, and £5OO for the Sustentation.
GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.—The election of Lord Rector
took place on Wednesday. The public is aware that, al-
though an election to the Rectorial Chair takes place an-
nually, the Lord Rector is generally allowed to remain in
otEce for two years--his re-election the second year being
almost regarded a matter of course. On the present
occasion, however, a large and influential portion of the
students resolved, in consequence of Mr. Fox Maule hav-
ing ceased to be a member of the Church of Scotland, to

adopt measures for his expulsion, and for the eta" wit)
t person entertaining sentiments more in accordance. 4
