THANKS.

TO THE EDITOB. Sib,—"Freethinker's" suggestion in yours of the 24th inst. is an excellent one, and with great pleasure I have to request your acceptance of the enclosed guinea, in hope I hat it may form the nucleus of a more generous sum, which may be accepted by the venerable and. worthy Dr Stuart, and used by him in this season of distress in the pause of chavity, goodwill, and peace, in which he is so esteemed a labourer. Though a supporter of Mr Robert Stout in the late political contest, believing, that his many sterling qualities will do credit and be of service to the community, I yet earnestly desire' the "Bible in school," and the removal of the arbitrary ban placed by this pfllpny on the Book which has been, and is n.o«r ; the eternal guide and standard of political economy of the most remarkable nations of ancient or modern, history, whose instincts of patriotism and freedom are the objects of wonder and admiration, and whose greatness was, and is, due to its teachiag. Believing this, and that education is a necessary, unavoidable, compulsory duty, I firmly hope_ that all who found their faith upon any portion of the inspired Volume will charitably agree to its being read in our schools—the Jjecalogue taught. to all, and the portions commonly known as " The Lord's Prayer" and "The Sermon on'the Mount" to'those whose parents do not object. Believing that the large majority of the inhabitants of this province desire this, apd that "the small minority should in justice and duty yield, I am assured that any movement haying this object will be largely supported; and should clergy and people umto_ in so good a cause, so unanimous a petitiqn in. so vigorous a voice would be raised that ah unwilling Parliament .would be (compelled to hear and acknowledge that so harmonious a work is vitally necessary for our politipal security and eternal welfare.—l am &c,, Obthodox. July 24. [We have received £1 Is from our correspon-dent.-Eo. 0. D. T.]
