HYMN.

How dark, how desolate,
Would many a moment be;

Could we not spring

On hope's bright wing,

O God! to heav'n and Thee!

Life is a prison cell

We are doom'd to occupy; In which confin'd,

The restless mind

Pines, pants for liberty.

And sometimes streaks of light
And sunny beams we see:

They shine so bright
Thro' sorrow's night—

They needs must come from Thee.

Say shall a morning dawn
When "prison-days" are o'er ;
Whose smiling ray
Shall wake a day

That night can cloud no more?

Blest hope! and sure as blest!
Life's shades of misery

Shall soon be past,

O! how your throbbing hearts would grieve,

Ye, that on tender parents wait; Their grey and rev'rend heads to leave

Unshelter'd, to the storms of fate!
What tears of bitterness would flow

If from your children ye were torn ;
And left them to a world of woe
To wander friendless and forlorn!
III.

In us, and in those mourners old,
For whom I urge my double plea,
Your children, and your sires behold,
Allied by ties of charity:

If from your own, ye would remove

The sorrows we are doom'd to share, Renew once more, your gifts of love, And save, O! save us from despair. H. S.

duction to Mr. Pitt; and these three eminent men, about 1787, made a tour together on the continent. In 1788, Mr. Milner was elected President of Queen's College, on which occasion he took his Doctor's degree. The same year he was advanced to the Deanery of Carlisle, and in 1792, served the office of Vice-Chancellor. In 1798, the Doctor was made Lucasian Professor of Mathematics on the death of Dr. Waring; and the duties of that chair, as well as those of every other station, he continued to discharge with equal diligence and ability.

The Dean has published some papers in the Philosophical Transactions; the first, dated Feb. 16, 1778, concerning the communication of motion by impact and gravity; another, dated Feb. 26, treats of the limits of algebraical equations, and contains a general demonstration of Des Cartes' rule for finding the number of affirmative and negative roots; another in the following June, on the precession of the equinoxes; and "Animadversions on Dr. Haweis's History of the Church of Christ," 1800, 8vo.; and "Strictures on some of the Publications of the Rev. Herbert Marsh, intended as a Reply to his Objections against the Bible Society," 1813, 8vo. [This last publication is reviewed, Mon. Repos. VIII. 609-613. Some account of the Dean's opinions may be gleaned from the Review. Notice is there taken of his boasting of effecting by his exertions, when Vice-Chancellor, in 1792, the banishment of Mr. Frend from the University.] He published also a continuation of his brother's Church History, which is much extolled by the Calvinistic party, but which is imperfect,

being brought down only to the Refor. mation.

Dean Milner died in his 70th year. He is succeeded, we understand, as President of Queen's College, by the Rev. H. Godfrey, B. D., one of the Senior Fellows.

Deaths Abroad.

At Polock, in Poland, in his 72nd year, Father THADDEUS BOGOZOWSKI, General of the Order of the Jesuits. Father Perucci, who resides at Rome, is spoken of as his successor.

With great regret we learn the melancholy death of JOSEPH Ritchie, Esq., at Mourzuk, in Africa, about 400 miles south of Tripoli. He was a native of Otley, and was a young man of great abilities and enterprise; he was employed, under the auspices of the African Association, to make discoveries in the interior of Africa, and particularly to endeavour to penetrate through the great desert of Tombuctoo. The death of this enterprising young man is particularly to be lamented, as we are afraid a knowledge of the interior of Africa will scarcely be accomplished in our days. How many men of science have fallen victims to their thirst for knowledge! Of six persons who accompanied Nehrbur, the Danish traveller, in his tour through Arabia, he alone survived. Since then, Hornnman, Mungo Park and Burckhardt have also fallen a sacrifice to a climate which seems peculiarly obnoxious to European constitutions. (Month. Mag.)

Address of the Body of Dissenting Ministers to the King on his Accession: with the King's Answer. [The following Address was unanimously voted at Dr. Williams's Library, Red-Cross Street, soon after the late King's death; but the illness of his present Majesty for some time hindered its being carried up to the Throne. Opportunities there were of delivering it into the hands of the Secretary of State, or even of laying it before the King by deputation: the Body of Ministers, however, did not for a moment lose sight of their ancient privilege of presenting addresses to the King upon the Throne, and especially upon an Accession; and his Majesty, upon being made acquainted with their wishes, immediately signified

his desire that they should be complied with. The ministers accordingly awaited

* The etiquette of the Court has been, that when the Dissenting Ministers ad dress by deputation, they are received in the closet, and when they address in a body, are received upon the Throne. In either case, they read their own address and receive an answer from the King The importance of this must be apparent to every one. The privilege of being re ceived upon the Throne is enjoyed as custom by only a few public bodies; by the City of London, the two Universities, the London Clergy, and the London Dis senting Ministers; and, we believe, no others. It is not certain at what time the privilege, as far as regards the Dis

the pleasure of the Court. The King at length appointed Wednesday, May 3. This was not communicated by Lord Sidmouth, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, to the Rev. Dr. Morgan, the Secretary to the Body, until late on Saturday night, April 29th; consequently, several of the members could not receive the summons till Tuesday, and many, who were absent from town, could not, as they intended, be present on the occasion. However, on Wednesday, May 3, eighty-nine members assembled at Dr. Williams's Library, RedCross Street, and proceeded in private carriages and glass-coaches to the King's Palace in Pall Mall, where they were appointed to attend at three o'clock. Before they left the Library, the Secretary, with the view of preventing any disappointment or confusion, intimated,

senting Ministers, originated. Probably, it cannot be traced higher than the Revolution of 1688. When a late Deputation from the Body (of whom the writer was one) waited on the present Prime Minister, the conversation turned upon this subject, and his Lordship inquiring into the antiquity of the privilege, the Secretary replied, "My Lord, we have had it from time immemorial." His Lordship then remarked, alluding to his late Majesty, that there was but one person, probably, in the kingdom who could have stated the history of the custom; and he unhappily was not in a condition to explain this or any other matter.

The Body of Dissenting Ministers consists of Three Denominations; the Presbyterians, Independents and Baptists. Each denomination admits its own members, upon certificate of character, &c., and reports annually the state of the denomination to the Body. The several sects of Methodists are not included in the Three Denominations. A Secretary is chosen for the whole Body: the present Secretary is Dr. Thomas Morgan, the Librarian of Red-Cross Street; but there is no connexion between the two offices. The meetings of the Presbyterian denomination and of the Body are held at the Library, in Red-Cross Street; not however of right, but by permission of the Trustees of Dr. Williams's Library, which permission is annually renewed and acknowledged. By the same permission, the Deputies from the Congregations of the Three Denominations keep their Register at the Library. It is thought useful to make this explanation, because the mistake has sometimes prevailed that the Library belongs to the Dissenters, and that Dissenting Ministers have a right of admission.

that as only a very few of other public Bodies who had presented Addresses, had been permitted to kiss the King's hand, owing to his late severe illness, the same arrangement might probably be followed on the present occasion.

Between three and four o'clock the Body were conducted two by two through the state apartments to the great-room, arranged, as far as was possible, in the order of seniority, where they were presented to the King on his Throne, surrounded by the great officers of the household, &c., by Lord Sidmouth, the Secretary of State for the Home Department. When the Chairman, Dr. Rees, had read the Address, received the King's Answer and kissed his hand, and twelve or fourteen of the senior members had been presented, the Chairman intimated his apprehension that the approach of others would fatigue his Majesty: on which the King observed with ardour,

By no means: so excellent an Address and so well delivered-I am highly gratified;" and continued to present his hand till the whole Body had received the same honour. To the Chairman he condescendingly intimated his satisfaction on seeing him present on the occasion, the more particularly as he was given to understand that he had accompanied the Address when his late Father had ascended the Throne: and as the Body were retiring, he was heard to say to the surrounding courtiers, "This Address came home to the feelings of every person who heard it, and more particularly to my own," laying his hand on his heart. Before the admission of the Body, the Address of the Court of Lieutenancy of the City of London had been received by the King, and it had been intimated to the members not to withdraw from the Palace before his Majesty should retire to his private apartments. After the Body had delivered their Address, a similar intimation was made to them, till their brethren the Friends, or Quakers, had presented their Address. When they had received their answer, the King descended from the Throne, and returned through the state apartments, the members of the different Bodies who had presented Addresses, forming a passage for him; and when he came up to the venerable Chairman of the Body, he noticed him again, shaking him by the hand in the most condescending and affectionate manner, inquiring after his health, and expressing his pleasure at seeing him on that day.]*

* By the courtesy of the Body, the Presbyterians, as being the first in order, present the Address on an Accession:
