a favourable circumstance, that, during his interview with the deputation, he did not once attempt to justify it. Mrs. Fry is fully convinced that his majesty wishes that the state of things should be altered; but he is hampered by certain classes of his subjects. Mr. Giles remarked that though the prospect seems gloomy, there are many things to encourage us. Among these, the fact, that our brethren are so firm and so true; so pure, holy, and devoted; so meek in spirit, and so strong in faith, they will either die in chains, or be free, entirely free. Churches also are growing up on every hand. This is the finger of God. We have neglected the continent. It is cheering, too, that some of the authorities of the continent are beginning to feel in favour of the bap tists. The King of PRUSSIA told Mrs. Fry that he was delighted with them, and considered them now wholly a tolerated sect. In WESTENBERG, also, they have received entire concession; and when interrupted by the mob, the authorities protect them. In HAMBURG, to which the brethren were deputed last year, with a similar message, the church, which before had been harassed with persecutions, has had rest during the past year. In other places, however, the baptists are denied religious liberty, and are obliged to worship in dens and caves of the earth. Such is the case in HANOVER. Mr. Giles remarked that the continent is a field to which the baptists are peculiarly called by God's pro dence; he entreated them to do all they could pecuniarily for these infant churches, and to aid zealously in carrying on the work which God has so auspiciously begun, to its final and destined triumph. KINDNESS OF J. J. GURNEY, ESQ. AND MRS. FRY.-Mr. Giles hoped that the friends of man and of religion would never forget the service rendered by J. J. Gurney, Esq., and Mrs. Fry, on this occasion. The latter was invited by the queen herself: but though invited to the palace, she visited prisons. Among others she visited our friends, gave them money, administered her tender consolations, pleaded their cause with the queen, nor could possibly have done more had she been one of our own denomination. DR. HENDERSON ON THE WORD USED FOR BAPTIZO IN THE DANISH BIBLE.-A correspondent inquires whether Dr. Henderson has replied to Mr. Gotch, Mr. Carson, or Philalethes. Dr. Henderson addressed a letter to the "Congregational Magazine," in reference to Mr. Gotch's work, and said to him, it is reported, as he shook hands with him one day," Well, Mr. Gotch, I suppose we must shake hands over this subject." Besides these we have heard of no reply to any of those publications. This silence is, we are well assured, prudence. A singular proof of his inaccuracy was related by Mr. Giles, at the meeting at Park-street, on the 10th of November:-While himself and Mr. Dowson were conversing with the Bishop of Copenhagen, they stated, that a very respectable gentleman in England, who had been in Denmark, said that the word by which 'baptizo' is rendered in Danish does not mean to 'dip;' "That gentleman," said the bishop, "knows nothing about Danish. I have no question that' döbe' means 'to dip,' nor that the baptists are right as to that question, and if they would bring their children to me, I would dip them. This is not our complaint against them, nor is it that they are baptized when adults, but, to separate themselves from the Lutheran church for this! It must not be! No, it shall not be !" THE REV. MR. SIBTHORP, lately a minister of the church of England in Ryde, Isle of Wight, has joined the Roman Catholic church. Although reported evangelical, he has long been remarkable for his imitation of Romanism. Erratum,-p. 259, line 25, for 798 read 79. INDEX.
