True Worshipers . To the Editor . Wareham , Sir , Jan . 22 , 1829 . As I have no doubt of your anxiety for the truth and respectability of your monthly publication , you will readily insert a few lines in your Number for the next month , in contradiction of a statement which appears at p . 62 of your last , under the signature of E . K .
If that article was written by a resident in Wareham , its author must have known that the statement it contains is incorrect ; if by a person residing in any other place , he has been grossly deceived , or is labouring under some strange misconception .
It is uot true , Sir , that any persons have been expelled , in any just sense of the term , from the Old Meeting at Wareharn , within the last two years , during which I have had the honour to be the Pastor of the Christian church meeting for public worship in that place . It is not true that any persons have been " denied the Christian name because they refuse to worship Jesus Christ and the
Holy Spirit ; " at least , during the last two years , the period for which I can only take upon myself to speak . The fact of the case is simply this . Sonae highly respectable individuals , about a year ago , thought proper to absent themselves from the public services of the Old Meeting , with the avowed intention of worshiping God more consistently with the dictates of their own consciences .
For this proceeding , I do not myself see that they are entitled to any blame ; and I hope they now eujoy all the advantage they expected to derive from a withdrawment from the place in which they had long been accustomed to worship . It should , however , be known , that for some time previously to their withdrawment they had , with one highly
honourable exception , ceased to be subscribers to the interest in the same amount as they had formerly been , and in a sum at all consistent with the respectability of their station in society . It will not , therefore , be thought surprising that they should at length have found themselves placed in

circumstances which rendered it advisable , in their estimation , to withdraw themselves wholly from the meeting - house , and engage in divine worship in
a separate place . There is also an assertion in the paper of K . K ., about " the silent admission and gradual ascendency of a party of Calviniats , " just as true as the former , and entiiled to just as much consideration .
By inserting this letter in your publication for the next month , you will serve the cause of truth , and oblige JAMES BROWN .

King ' s College and the London University . To the Editor . Sir , January ID , 1829 . In the last Number of the Kd in burgh Review there is an article on the new seminaries of education in London , in
which it is observed , that , iu regard to students living without the walls of the King ' s College , that institution must be nearly assimilated to the London University ; for that it could not be expected that young men living at any distance could or would attend morning prayers iu the College chapel .
It appears , however , by the late resolutions of the Committee of the King ' s College , that the writer in the Review was mistaken , and that attendance at morning prayers will be actually required from all students , whether resident or not . Also , that attendance upon divine service at the College Chapel on Sundays ( whether twice in the day or only once does not appear ) will be required from
all , except such as have the special leave of the Principal to attend church on Sundays elsewhere ; and that proof will be expected that the students who have obtained such leave , attend public worship regularly at some church of the Establishment . It is added , however , that other persons may attend the lectures , but that they will not be considered as studeuts , nor allowed to conteud for auy prizes , nor be entitled to any certificates of
merit . The Globe paper of the 7 th instant , in noticing these regulations , justly obseives , that they are a virtual exclusion of all Dissenters—which is certainly true . For why should Dissenters subject themselves to these impositions and inconveniences , when there is another place open where they iiiay obtain equal advantages frve from such iucuinbrances and objections ? But there is a further view of the sub-
