      suffer . The sentence was , imprisonment in Warwick Gaol for six months ^ and security for the peace for three years , himself in the sum of Two Hundred Pounds , and two others iu the sum of Teii Pounds each : to remain in prison

      until such security be given . Russell left the Court , exclaiming * that he was imprisoned for life . It is to be regretted , that after the acquittals of Hone the prosecution should have been persevered in . Amidst such contrary verdicts , what a £ e the common people to think of the law of the land ?

      If parodies of Scripture , as well as of the Liturgy , be blasphemous , even-handed justice requires that poor parodists alone should not be punished . The grossest parody of modern times is one upon the Ten Commandments in Lord Byron ' s Don

      Juan , published and republished within a few months , by Murray , of Albemarle Street , the publisher of the Quarterly Review , and of other " orthodox" and i € loyal" works . In truth , the offence is not turning the Scriptures into ridicule , but making ministers of state ridiculous .

      Amusing Passages from : c < the Anti-Jacobin Review . "—Few of our readers probably are apprized that this work is continued ; by the help of the < c No Popery *"* party it has been saved from absolute perdition , and just contrives to appear

As tl » e ensuing- Number \ fi \\ contain the Indexes , which we make pretty copious , and which we are desirous of rendering' as accurate as possible , we shall be obliged to print the Miscellaneous part very early in the Month , and , therefore , Correspondents who have Communications to send to the present Volume , are requested to forward them immediately . We are obliged to postpone many Articles of Intelligence , and' some on Foreign affairs T which we were very anxious to insert .

      monthly in the shape of ( its second title ) a " Protestant Advocate . " The two following passages ought to be recorded : any comment would spoil the effect of them . -Of the Unitarians , the Anti-Jacobin of the present month says , pp . 109 , 110 , " It is now ivell known that they profess Deism completely . To keep up appearances , they pretend a regard for the Scriptures , but first so altered and remodelled , that they just say any thing- the editor pleases to make them . A critical scholar will at

      once perceive that , in these alterations , the only rule is , to blot out as interpolated , or explain away as misunderstood , every passage which relates to the peculiar doctrines of Christianity . "—Again , in refe ^

      rence to Carlilb's convictions p . I 92 > — " Carlile , indeed , gave himself no chance , and irritated against him even his quondam friends , who call themselves Rational Christians . He bhintly declared , that thev were in fact no Christians at all .

      We sincerely wish that they would meditate on this point with mote care . All parties join ia assuring them that they have no title to the denomination of Christians , that it is a misnomer . So general a consent" [ that of Mr . Carlile and the Anti-Jacobin Review , and probably the successor of Wm . Huntingdon ] ** cannot be without some foundation , and it is probably but too well-founded . "
