ter on these grounds offered a timely instrument for political opponents , who were themselves less scrupulous about consulting local interest .

Yet , if the Tory leaders , Iiord Derby and Mr . Disraeli , are deliberately about ; , to raise a Protestant cry ? We . hesitate to believe in such po-liti- ? cal infamy .

To be used at Morning and Evening Service , after the General Thanksgiving in all Clrarches and .

Almighty God and Father , of whose only gift it cometh that the earth is made to yield its increase for the sustenance of man , vouchsafe , we beseech Thee , to accept tliia our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving , that Thou hast crowned , the year with Thy goodnesB ,. and caused the earth to bringtfbrtb . abundantly , that it might
give seed to the- sower and bread to the eater . We acknowledge , O Lord , that it is of Thy great mercyttvat the evils of want and scarceness are no > t added to the dangers of warfare abroad , and the terrors of pestilence at home . We might have sown much , and brought in little ) the heaven might have been stayed from dew and the earth utayed from her fruit . But Thou haafc dealt graciously with Thine unworthy servants , and has . bleat the labour of the husbandman , and filled our garners with all manner of-store . And now , lord , we entreat Thee , together with these temporal merowja to bestow the inestimable gift of Thy Holy Spirit , that a duo won so of Thy goodness toward this land may awaken in ua a more sincere repentance toward 'l'hco , i and a more earnest faith toward our Lord . Jesus Christ . Groat that the
dangers by which wo are still tlireatoncdU—the pestilence which walkcth in dnrknoas , and the sword which destroyeth at noon-day—may lead us to a more active obedience to Thy lawn , a more earnest endeavour to conform to Thy will , and to advance Thy Glory . Dispose the hearts of thoaoto whom abundance has been given , to uso that abundance in relieving the necessities of the poor and destitute ; that whilst many have gnthored plenty , none may pine in want and ponury . Thus may Thy judgmonts and Thy marcies aliko work together for the spiritual benefit of all the pc » plo of this land , nnd tend to graft in thoir hearts an increasing lovo nnd fear of Thco , our only refuge in the time- of trouble * Hoar , wo beseech Thco , 0 Lord , these , our humble petitions , and recoive these out thanksgivings , for hln sake , our only Medmtor nnd Advocate . Amen .
* To bo added whore the cholera pravuilu : — - And may the frequent instances of mortality which wo havo soon remind us all of the nearness of death , and of tho judgment that in to follow ; thai ; whothor living or dying , wo may bo found faithful disciples of Him who lias taken away the sting of flouth , and opened thvo gate of everlasting lifo to all bolieycrs .

1 O 3 U > DUNDONAI / D A . 0 XOT . lord Dundonald is very restless - about tlie command of the Baltic fleet , which was not offered to him . He has written another letter to the papers —* as thus : — The unfounded charge brought against Lord Aberdeen , reflited by " the only testimony thatcould be adduced ;" being ; now transferred to Sir James-Graham , accompanied by the assertion of a person that he heard , the imputation from a friend of mine , I feel it to be my duty further to declare that Sir James Graham never offered the command of the Baltic fleet to me , and . that I did . not ask it , under the impression that Admiral Sir' Charles Napier was the most capable of undertaking . the arduous task of bringing the crews of an undisciplined fleet to order .
I mentioned , however , to Sir James Graham that , if the attack on Sevastopol ( the most desirable object of the war ) failed to terminate hostilities , I should hold myself in readiness to employ my " secret plan" on any naval enterprise , more especially if such -were deemed impracticable by the usual art of war . Attacked as I hare been for stating the truth in regard to Lord Aberdeen , I trust that a generous public will suspend their judgment until at an early day I shall rebut tho calumnies with which I have been assailed .
