      The Evangelical Magazine appears to exercise a severe discretion in the advertisements which it admits on its blue covers . In the last Number , the Editors

      gravely say in their notice to Correspondents , Mr . B . P . is informed we do not allow our Publisher to insert advertise "

      ments for Wives . " This is rather hard upon Mr . B . P ., since other advertisers are allowed great license of subject and expression : e . g . in the same Number , p . 11 of the cover , is announced the anniversary of a chapel at Woolwich , 6 t formerly St . Patrick ' s , " the Rev . W . B . Collyer , D . D . to preach , and the following * invitation is held out— "An economical

      dinner will he provided , and we doubt not many of the Redeemer s London , friends will realize a peculiar gratification , by beholding- in this place tlie peaceable triumphs of truth over Rome and error . " rThe " reli gious public" are informed in .

      the same advertisement , that contig-uous to the chapel is a dry burial ground , where they may find a most interesting reposilory lor their dear deceased relations or mends . " [ This folly is , we see , exposed in The Examiner of the 29 th inst . ]

      A writer in the Times Newspaper , reporting * the proceedings at Carlisle at the late Cumberland Assizes , remarks that divine service was nearly assimilated to the Presbyterian model , and thence indulges an anticipation of the union of the Churches of England and Scotland . He

      builds his hopes upon an attempt , which however failed , to introduce the org ^ an at Glasgow . Another " delightful symptom of agreement" is the reconciliation of two Scottish sects . Being- in a hoping- mood , the reporter proceeds to expect the union

      of all Christian Churches , including- the Roman Catholic ; and concludes with an elaborate piece of silliness , relating to " the volcanic eruption" of the Reformation , and the now verdant and fertile lava .

      sions divide and disturb the several communities which constitute this great country A new persecution has arisen against the Jews at Frankfort , Wurisburg , in Bavaria , &c . $ . their houses have been attacked and pillaged ; some of them have fled ; and such as remain are obliged to seek the

      protection of tlie military . The riots were put down by the soldiers , and several of the rioters were either killed or wounded . The occasion of this tumult is said to have been the high tone assumed by the Jews

      At Tubing-en has recently been formed a Society for the Re-establishment and Preservation of the Belief of Divine Revelation [ Offenbarung—Glauben ] , The title indicates the object of this society

      Excesses naturally lead to the use of remedies . It is known that for a Jong * time past , especially duripg the last half century , many of the Protestant clergy , the Germans in particular , have indulged in a hardy style of biblical criticism , which has tended to shake the basis of revealed

      religion . The number of these innovating critics , it is said , is diminishing ; nevertheless , the journals frequently announce works which shew the constant struggle between rationalism and super naturalism The Protestant theologians of Tubingen

      who have distinguished themselves by their attachment to revealed reli gion , are at the head of this newly-formed society , and already are enrolled among" its members several distinguished German divines : M . Hess , of Zurich , M . Holler , of Schafhansen , M . Marheineeke , of Berlin , 3 VL Schott , &c . —Chronique Heligieuse , July , 1819 .
