tion , and , consequently , that it cannot become of general utility ;—believing that the calamities at present suffered by this and other nations arise from Infidelity , or from a morbid indifference to Teligion , occasioned by creeds and unauthorized additions made to the Christian
religion , in ages of great mental darkness;—believing that the Bible alone contains every thing necessary to make men not only good Christians , but also industrious and peaceful subjects , a matter of the very highest importance in the present fevolutionary age ;—tbus believiug , your Petitioner humbly and earnestly prays vour Honourable House to
take such steps as you may deem proper for establishing the Bible as the only parliamentary authority in matters pertaining to religion ; and that , whenever he may be crowned , our most gracious Sovereign may not be required , by his Coronation oath , to pledge his protection to any other religion , or religious doctrines , than such as are plainly revealed in that sacred Book . Your Petitioner
humbly suggests to your Honourable House , that Dr . Paley alludes to the Creeds and Articles of Faith of the Established Church , when , in dedicating his Moral Philosophy to the late Bishop Edmund Law , he speaks of recovering * the simplicity of the gospel from beneath the load of unauthorized additions
which the ignorance of some ages aud the learning of others , the superstition of the weak and the craft of designing men , have ( unhappily for its interests ) heaped upon it . ' ' When it is considered that no reasonable hope cau be entertained of the removal of these unauthorized additions ,
or of any doctrinal reforms in religion being effected through the medium of the Established Clergy , inasmuch as they stand solemnly pledged to keep the Athanasian Creed , the basis of their doctrines , € whole and undivided ; ' your Petitioner , therefore , trusts , that in presenting this petition to your Honourable House , no motives will be attributed to him
inconsistent with patriotism , and an ardent desire to promote the best interests of religion . «' As in duty bound , your Petitioner will ever pray , that , by the wisdom of your counsels , attended by the blessing
of God , the simplicity of the Gospel may be restored ; that it may ' cover the earth as the waters cover the sea ;' ¦ and , as destined by the Omnipotent Ruler , it may establish ' Peace on earth , a , ud good will among men . ' " - Harrogate , 23 d July , 1831 . "

Art . VIII . —A Treatise on the Oi * igin , Progressive Improvement , and present State of the Silk Manufacture . ( Lardner * s Cyclopaedia . Vol . XXII . ) This volume is worthy of its place in the well-planned , and , generally , wellexecuted Cyclopaedia of Dr . Larduer . It is divided into four parts , of which
the first is historical , the second treats of the culture of silk , the third of its manufacture , and the fourth of its chemical , medical , and electric qualities . Chap . v . of Part I . particularly deserves attention . It is " on the Progress made in England in the Manufacture of , and Trade in , Silk . " Scarcely any history is so replete with instruction , to persons of all classes , statesmen , capitalists , and artizans , as that of the silk trade in
this country . It is a plain and strong rebuke to that short-sighted selfishness , that spirit of gnonopoly and exclusion , which is the cleaving disease of our body politic , and infects it from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot . It is not only a good politico-economical lesson , but a great moral lesson . The tale is well told and judiciously applied ; and the other portion s of the book are , each in its way , full of interest .

Art . IX . — The History and Topography of the United States of North America . Edited b y J . H . Hinton , A . M . Parts XIX . and
XX . This work has , in its progress , justified the favourable opinion which we expressed at its commencement , and amply realized our expectations . The sustained beauty of its embellishments , and the accurary and interest of the narrative , demand a repetition of our recommendation . The 20 th number
concludes the Historical portion , and begius the Topographical . From the descriptive talent already displayed in the work , we expect that this department will be equally satisfactory , and render the whole as worthy , as that which is before us , of our warm approval .
