      Society for the Suppression of Vice . The Committee of this Society have put out an appeal to the public , for pecuniary aid , hi which they state——" that within the last four years , they have been compelled , hi order to preserve the public morals from further contamination , to institute no less than

      Eightyfive Prosecutions against offenders of various descriptions , all of which have led to conviction , or to recognizances by the respective parties , that must prevent the < c repetition of similar , " ( the Committee evidently mean , " the repetition of the same" ) " crimes . They have checked the sale of Toys and Snuff-boxes ,

      with abominable devices , which were imported * fl » immense quantities , from France and other countries . They have caused the whole stock in trade of some of the most shameless and abandoned traffickers in obscene Books and Prints , amounting to some thousands , to be seized ; and have also destroyed no less

      than fifty expensive copper-plates , from which impressions of the latter were from time to time supplied : and , lastly , they have brought to condign punishment that most audacious ( offender Carlile , who , notwithstanding repeated indictments

      found against him , still persisted in selling works of the foulest sedition , and the most horrible blasphemy that ever disgraced a Free Press , or outraged the Principles and Feelings of the British Public . "

      speech for the Defendant , but called no evidence for the defence . Mr . Justice Park summed up in a comprehensive charge to the Jury , in which he stated the law as applicable to the case , and said , if the forgery had been committed in a Parish Register of a date subsequent to the Marriage Act in 1753 , it would have constituted a capital offence ; but that , in the case before the Court , it was only a misdemeanour at common law .

      The Jury retired for about a quarter of an hour , and * returned with a verdict of Guilty ; whereupon Mr . Justice Pahk sentenced the ¦ ' prisoner to pay a fine of £ 50 , and to be imprisoned in York Castle for the term of three months .

      We long felt surprise ( says the Gent Mag . ) that Mr . Coxe's excellent History of the House of Austria has not reached a new edition , particularly as the work is no less interesting than elaborate , and much admired abroad , being in fact the only regular history of that family in any

      language . A strong proof of its merit and authenticity has been given by those who must be considered as competent judges ; for the Archdukes John and Louis , in their passage through Salisbury honoured the author with a visit , and thanked him , not only in their own

      names , but in those of the Emperor and the Archduke Charles , for the able and authentic manner in which he had illustrated the History of their House . At Length , however , we have the satisfaction to announce anew edition , in five

      volumes 8 vo ., of a work which ought to undergo the attentive perusal of every one who professes to understand the History of Europe , and the political relations of its different States . It embraces a period of 800 years .
