      that zeal and exertion which would best Mroinote its welfare . * ' The Earl of HAflfitbWBY did not see any practical object whicfrcould be gained by the reception of the present petition . It was inconsistent with the charity of Christians to suppose that the Church inteuded to exclude Galvinists ; but he did not see how Parliament could now be

      appealed to . Earl Grey spoke in support of the petition . He thought that their Lordships had the power of applying a remedy in a case of this kind , and that redress could sometimes be obtained from no other quarter . For this opinion he had high authority in the course of the evening . The

      Right Rev . Prelate had denied the power of the House , and had appealed to the authority of the Archbishop . The Archbishop , on the other hand , had denied his right to interfere , and had thus devolved the examination on Parliament .

      The mode of examination adopted by the Right Reverend Prelate appeared to him ( Lord Grey ) to be extremely dangerous to the peace of the Church . If he had a right to adopt new tests , so had other prelates , and thus the different dioceses might have each a different test of

      exclusion . Thr Bishop of Peterborough disclaimed any new tests . Earl Gre y resumed . The eighty-seven questions were framed for detecting Calvinists . This might be necessary ; but if it was , it must be accomplished by the Church proposing more searching questions . The noble Earl contended that

      subscript ion to the Bishop ' s eighty-seven articles composed a new standard of faith . The Marquis of Lansdown likewise spoke in support of the petition , which , after some further observations from Lord Calthorpe , was rejected .

      LITERARY . It will be seen by our wrapper that Mr . John Kenrick , of York , proposes to publish by subscription , a new edition ,

      with additional notes , of his father ' s valuable Exposition of the Four Gospels and Acts of the Apostles * From our acquaintance with the original work , and our knowledge of the erudition ahcj talents of the announced Editor , we have

      no hesitation in pronouncing that the new edition of the Exposition will be a most important acquisition to the biblical literature of the Unitarians . This denomination of Christiana will , we are persuaded , promptly encourage the design ; and we esteem it a happy coincidence

      that the improved edition of the Exposition will appear soon after Mr . Belsham ' s long-promised Version of and Commentary on the Epistles , which is in the press ; as the two works will em * brace nearly the whole of the Christian Scriptures , and furnish the best helps to the right understanding of them .

      w ^ ai ^^^ flfliHfli ^^ BfiBatfK ' r - We have heard with great satisfaction that the Drapers' Company of London continue to add to the comforts of their numerous tenantry in the county of Londonderry . We , on a . former occaejan , noticed many acts of their liberality ^ which we should wish to see imitated by all our absentee landlords . Wh ^ t wo Bpw

      wish to record is , the Company ' s intention of building , at the town of JVIoneymore , a large house of wforshi p ^ for the accommodation of the Protestant Dissenters of that town and neighbourhood ; and what appears most to the honour of the Drapers' Company , is , that 3 $ Q : congregation by great exertion had raised about 800 / . for the purpose of erecting a
