The clergymen of one of the chapels-of-ease belonging to the
parish of St. Pancras, immediately after his sermon on Sunday, and before the concluding prayer, read, in the pulpit, a petition which, it seems, is in- tended to be presented to Parliament against the bill introduced by Go- yernment on the subject of education. The sermon contained a bitter and intemperate invective against the measure, and an earnest exhorta- tion to sign the petition. A large placard was exhibited during divine service, and also at the end of it, near the door of the chapel, informing the public that the petition was lying in the chapel fim signature.— Correspondent of the Globe.
