      Denominations , which , after the example of His Royal Father , he took a manifest pride m encouraging . He was also the warm friend of religious liberty ; and the Roman Catholic , the Protestant Dissenter and

      the Jew cdula always reckon , in their schemes for the security of their freedom or the extension of their prtri-Jeges , upon his countenance , and upon nis vote as a peer of the realm .

      The Duke ' s usefulness was much impeded , and we fear his happiness diminished , by the embarrassed state of his affairs , of which a painful exposure w ^ s lately made . Having read the official statement , we ate of opinion that His I J *??^?^ TW . ? %

      HYMN , The offerings to Thy throne which rise , Of mingled praise and prayer ; Are but a worthless sacrifice Unless the heart is there . Upon Thy all-discerning ear Let no vain words intrude t

      No tribute- —but the vow sincere ;—The tribute of the good . My offerings will indeed be blest , If sanctified by Thee ; If Thy pure spirit touch my heart With its own purity . O may that spirit warm my heart To piety and love ; , And to life's lowly vale impart Some rays from heaven above . A . M .
