THE SERMONS OF MR GRANT, TO THE EDITOR OF TH'K STAH. Sir, — From time to time appears in in your columns lengthy communications giving details of the discourses of the above named gentleman. Now, sir, I have no personal feeling against Mr Grant, or any animosity to the general tenor of his remarks, which are not characterised by the bitterness and general narrowness which men of his class usually assume. Granting this much, I think it will be generally conceded that the course is an extremely unwise and unwarrantable one, which is now pursued by Mr Grant, or his admirers, in flooding the columns of a distinctly secular paper like the Stab, with the exhibition of this Sandon Spurgeon. No doubt it is highly gratifying to Mr Grant, and extremely diverting to his friends, that readers of all shades of opinion, must, when perusing the Star, haye his impressions on religion thrust so obnoxiously under their notice. In conclusion, without intending any disrespect to Mr Grant or his deciples, I strongly advise that these communications in future be sent to some religious publication, when, doubtless, they would be thoroughly uppreeiated, without causing the irritation which is the natural sequence of their insertion in a secular paper. — I am,' &c, BJ.Bi
