TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The thanks of the Committee are presented to their unknown Friend, by whose direction 389 copies of the last printed Sermon of the late venerable Mr. Scott, Rector of Aston Sandford, were placed at their disposal, through Messrs. Seeley and Sons.

We should have acknowledged, in our last Number, a parcel, containing articles of needlework, from several Ladies at Woolwich, by Mrs. Freeman. A valuable parcel of the same description has also been received from the Ladies' Working Society, Reading.

Mrs. Tinson requested, before her departure, that her grateful acknowledgments might be presented to Miss Wilson, and the young Ladies at Mrs. Greenhough's School, Bow; Miss Sargeant, Mrs. More, Mrs. Poulson, Miss Bell, for various articles for the use of the children in the Kingston Schools; and also to Mr. Joseph Gurney, Mr. Proctor, and Miss Marten, for various books and tracts.

Our much-esteemed Friend in Wiltshire, who inquires after a pious Female, qualified to take charge of an Infant School, is informed that the Editor has not yet succeeded in finding one.

The kind Friend who forwarded an anonymous Donation to the Secretary on the 9th of June last for a particular purpose, and who has intimated his intention of repeating it if that purpose can be accomplished, may be assured of perfect secrecy if he will allow a written communication to be made to him. By that means, he would probably receive satisfactory information of the method in which his prudent and benevolent wishes have been attended to,

Had the parcel from Canterbury, for Mr. Burton of Jamaica, been forwarded in time, it would have been sent by our friends who have just sailed for that island. It shall be sent by the first suitable opportunity, but its detention will occasion both delay and expense.

The Editor has no recollection whatever of the pamphlet mentioned by his friend at Fenny Stratford. If more explicit information be given, he will act upon it.

Fall information on the points mentionnd by J. G. F. is shortly expected from the proper quarter. Sufficient reasons exist for omitting all allusion to it in the pages of the Herald.

The Editor feels himself under the necessity of requesting, respectfully, but earnestly, that all his Correspondents, foreign and domestic, will have the kindness to write their communications in a hand easily legible, and with black ink. No one would deem this request unreasonable, who was aware of the time occasionally required to decipher communications, where these obvious rules have been neglected.

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Communications have been received from Messrs. W. Walton, F. W. Dyer, G. Blight, W. Copley, I. Mann, J. Edwards, D. White, M. Saunders, J. Freeman, C. Webb, R. Ashworth, J. Peggs, J. Collins, R. Smith, T. Bickham, J. Morison, J. Rowland, W. Yarnold, J. Shenfields, W. Rhodes, J. D. Wood, J. Tyso, G. H. Orchard, J. B. Shenston, J. Kinghorn, and C. Scholl. Also from D. G.-J. W. R. S.-Benevolus, and A Constant Reader.

S. N.'s Lines on Christmas Day do not harmonize with our notions as Dissenters. The Poem which accompanies them is more to our mind.

The Verses by Aun, J. D. W. and A very young Person, are better fitted for private circulation among their friends.

It was found to be impossible to get the Portrait of the late Rev. David Simpson, of Eye, properly executed in time for our January Number. It will be given, with the concluding part of the Memoir, in our Number for February. Any persons who wish for Proof Impressions (price 2s. each), will have the goodness to order then of our Publishers before the 20th instant.

We feel persuaded that the Fac-simile of the Handwriting of the venerable and learned Dr. John Gill, one of the brightest ornaments of the Baptist Denomination, will be seen and perused with great interest by the readers of our Magazine. An additional namber of the Fac-simile will be struck off, for the convenience of those who may wish to insert them in the Doctor's quarto Bible; and may be had of our Publishers, price 2d.

We regret that room could not be found for the Address delivered by the Rev. John Edwards of Watford, at Eagle-street Meeting, on the evening of the Fast-day. It will appear in our next.

SALTERS' HALL CHAPEL-The Rev. I. Birt and the Rev. W. H. Murch will supply on the 4th; the Rev. I. Birt and the Rev. F. A. Cox, LL.D. on the 11th; the Rev. Mr. Thomas, of Henrietta-street, on the 18th; and the Rev. Mr. Davies, of Tottenham, on the 25th of January.

We rejoice, therefore, that this great episode in the history of France has been presented to us in an English dress.

Gilchrist, and Rev. E. Riccaltoun, in the following extract:

"These familiar, and yet striking illustrations of divine truths; that strength of reasoning and expression, by which he in a manner forced them upon his hearers; and above all, that easy and unaffected fervour of devotion which distinguished his public performances, shew themselves in every part of the work."

A further recommendation of this little volume was given by the late pious and excellent divine, the Rev. Dr. Wangh, who observes that "While the sentiments are all scriptural, the language is elegantly simple. But the ardour and the purity of devotional feeling, form its chief excellence."
