CLERICAL INCONSISTENCIES.

the numerous inconsistenties

which occasionally present themselves, whether religious,
moral, or political, I do not recollect one which has
attracted my notice in a greater degree than a certain
prayer or @application contained in oar Church Liturgy,
is which we implore the Deity to grant to oar Sovereign
health, wealth, long life, and strength, to vanquish and
overcome all his enemies. I shout& not have objected

to the prayer in question, were the nation governed by
• vigorous and youthful Monarch, engaged ins jure war
•against a foreign power. But when it is considered that
we are now in the full enjoyment of the blessings at-
tendant on peace, and that, moreover, our venerable
. .

Sovereign is in that state of mental derangement,
heightened by extreme old age, which has induced the
Church to frame a supplication of the most pathetic
kind in his behalf. I cannot but wish, for the sake of
common sense and decency, that the prayer for health,
wealth, and long life, should be dispensed with.
Were the above hint to operate upon the minds of the
Rtfthl Reverend the Ouerdians of our Faitb, I should
feel extremely happy. U. M.

The black smoke of the Comm; stemma, sharp built,

creditable to seed comment or description; she has a
derided advantage in a foul wind over the fair sailer;
but these steamers, are, however, as obnoxious and dan-
gerous to their friends as their foes, as the Castle-Neagh,
