H. Manning, city missionary, Greenwich; her infant son of two months having preceded her to the eternal world a few days before. Mrs. M. was of a serious turn of mind from her youth up. She read much; and was observant of the duties of religion in the Established Church. Her attention being directed to believers' baptism, she struggled for some years against her convictions, but at length yielded a willing obedience to her Lord. Her last affliction was serious. Not in a murmuring tone she would ask, "Oh, my Father, is it not enough? is not the dross removed? oh cut short thy work. But not my will-thine be done." Often she exclaimed, joyfully, "No condemnation," with many other similar expressions. When death drew near, her anxious husband asked, "Is Jesus precious now?" An emphatic "yes" was all she could utter as her spirit departed. Mother and babe sleep now together in their narrow bed until the illustrious morning breaks. Sep. 17, Mr. William Jarvis, of Widdemore, aged 36, after a short affliction, borne with christian fortitude and resignation.

He had only entered on a situation in Swansea a few days, when he was taken with fever, and expired before his parents could reach the place. There was much in him to give hope that he is only gone to the house of his Father in heaven. Sep. 28, Alfred John, aged 16 years, eldest son of Mr. U. Foot, baptist minister, Collumpton.

Who these rev. gentlemen or where they dwell, or what was cause of this controversy, we know ; but we have transferred that part Che "First Letter" which has rence to the baptismal question to pages as something of a curiosity. will be seen that the Papist has not made some important concessions he baptists, but the advantage he Sesses over his Anglican opponent manifest. For whilst the latter poses to be guided by the bible Rev. ;" for although the former disobeys the commands of the word of God, he does not, like the latter, presumptuously set up the commands of men as of equal authority. Such men are altogether in the wrong, as men always will be who disobey Divine commands, or set up the traditions of men in their place. Let us be thankful that we have been' taught a more excellent way. The word of God, and that alone, is our only guide in all matters pertaining to the religion we profess. Following its infallible directions we cannot err. We now give the extract. INFANT BAPTISM.
