ER MAJESTY'S MARRIAGE.-As the greater part of the Nobility and Gentry will visit London on this great occasion, they will doubtless embrace the opportunity of purchasing such articles as cannot be obtained in the vicinity of their country residences. Thomas Fox, in order to meet the demands of the approaching season, has greatly increased his extensive stock of brilliant Chimney, Pier, and Console Glasses, in every variety of style, comprising Gothic, Grecian, Elizabethian, French, &c., in sizes suiting every purpose, and forming a most tasteful and varied assortment. A few second-hand glasses of good quality and large dimensions at a considerable reduction from the tariff prices. In STAINED AND ORNAMENTAL GLASS, he flatters himself, that he has succeeded in obviating the general objection to its cost, and is enabled by his present arrangements to offer it at prices calculated to bring it into general use for Church windows, Conservatories, Staircases, &c., and solicits an inspection of his specimens in Coats of Arms, Crests, Landscapes, Figures, Embossed Work, &c., at the BISHOPSGATE PLATE GLASS WAREHOUSE.

We allude here more particularly to the scheme of so-called "National Education," the great Whig project of the past year, which was so much talked about previously to its appearance, which gave rise to so much excitement throughout the country, and which, it cannot be doubted, had it been permitted to take effect according to the full and complete intentions of its friends, would have involved the safety, nay, the very existence of the Church of England in the utmost peril. But the hand of God has ever been extended to defend and protect His Church, and as we humbly trust, if it be not presumptuous so to speak, the same Divine aid has been graciously and condescendingly exerted in the present instance, in rescuing the Ark of our faith from the danger with which it was threatened. We cannot doubt, that under Provideuce, it was owing to the firmness, resolution, and uncompromising spirit with which Churchmen in every quarter and
