tained from the Court a substantial and satisfactory disclaimer of the proceedings of their officious delegates and agent. The following are the resolutions passed on the occasion, which we copy from the Belfast Northern Whig of No

vember 22.

"At a Court of Assistants, held on Saturday, the 3d of November, and continued, by adjournment, to Tuesday, the 6th of November, 1827:

"Resolved - That this Court have considered with great attention the representation made to them on behalf of the Ministers and Elders of the General Synod of Ulster's fixed Committee, together with the memorials of the Presbytery of Tyrone, and the Presbyterian Congregation of Moneymore, therein referred to.

"That the Court have observed with the utmost astonishment and concern, the misconception which appears to have prevailed among those bodies upon the subjects there referred to.

"That this Court never contemplated any interference, direct or indirect, in the appointment or removal of the minister of any congregation, Presbyterian or otherwise, on any part of their estate -an interference to which they disclaim all right, and of which they disavow all intention.

"That the Court have also attentively considered the various memorials and papers which have been presented to them on the same subject from certain of their tenants and others at Moneymore, praying that the Court will adopt some measures for removing the supposed cause of the dissensions that have arisen there.

"That deeply as the Court lament the conduct and proceedings stated or ad verted to in the papers before them, and the unhappy distractions which have been thereby produced at Moneymore, it appears to the Court, after the most anxious and deliberate consideration of all the circumstances which have been brought to their attention, to be inexpedient for the Court to offer any interference therein; not doubting that the Rev. bodies under whose consideration the cause of these unhappy disturbances has been already brought, will so exercise their authority in the matter, as to restore to the Presbyterian Congregation of Moueymore the harmony which has been so unhappily disturbed, and without which harmony, it appears to this Court, that the occupation of the building, erected by this Company for their benefit, must be worse than useless.-By order of the said Court.

"EDWARD LAWFORD, Clerk."

CORRESPONDENCE.

Since the answer given in the address to correspondents, to "An Old Student of Trinity College, Dublin," was printed, it has been discovered that the article on which he animadverts had been inadvertently ascribed to the wrong author, and was, in fact, anonymous. Such being the case, the anonymous answer has been inserted in the present number..

Communications have been received from Mr. T. T. Clarke; Mr. G. Dyer; J. J. T.; W. D.; H. I., &c, &c.

In their first number, the Conductors assigned their reasons for not engaging in the subject of R. A.'s communication, and they at present see no sufficient cause to change their determination. R. A. will besides perceive that little good could result from the very inconvenient plan of taking up, in one periodical work, a controversy which had been begun, and carried on for some time, in another contemporary publication.

The Conductors have added nearly two sheets to the present number in order to give the title-page and copious indexes, without contracting the materials of the other departments of their work.

The great pressure of other interesting matter has unavoidably caused the omission in some numbers of the Literary Notices and Lists of New Publications. They will, however, be resumed in the future numbers.

The Conductors have already some valuable materials for the next number, among which is an original New-Year's Discourse, by the late Mrs. Barbauld. They trust to the continued co-operation of their literary friends to give increased interest and value to the New Series of the Monthly Repository.

ERRATUM.

The fourth line of the Greek quotation, p. 821, should have been printed as follows:

Δε δαίδαλμένοι ψεύδεσι ποικίλοις·
