    Feb . 25 . What an edifying homily is this inauifesto of the Sublime Poite ! The Sultan has profited much by his study of the political as well as the military tactics of Christendom . Never , in the most atheistical times of revolutionary France , and , consequently , the most religious times of Old England , did our ears tingle with a more spirited call to rally ronud the " throne and

    altar * ' and uphold them with our " lives and fortunes . " Never did our theological trumpets blow a more martial blast . Islam is "in danger ; " and all good Mussulmans , between whom and Infidels there is , we are told , a mutual " natural hatred , " are conjured " to unite heart and soul for the maintenance of our holy religion and our country , as well as for their own welfare in this

    world and in that which is to come . Now then is the time for those who , in their craft or ignorance , have so often shouted the war-whoop of Fanaticism here , to listen-to the echo of their cantcry , and think how it sounds . Let each one of'them be " like unto a man

    beholding his natural face in a glass ;" » ave that for cross there is a crescent on the brow .

    spirit than the Gospel of the Prince of Peace . Feb . 27 . 237 to 193 ! This division is a mile-stone in the road of improvement . It gives a good account of the rate at which opinion is marching .

    It is one of those tangible facts , which the world never goes on very long without , by which we are made to feel that , if the cause of liberty and humanity do not always advance so obviously as we wish , it is , in reality , always advancing as rapidly as we ought to wish .

    The use made of the silence of the Dissenters conveys a lesson which ought not to be lost . Let us not forget that if we do not petition it is presumed we feel no grievance . After this , it is to be hoped that ( whether the Test Act be repealed or not ) not one Session of Parliament will be allowed to pass without petitions for the repeal of all civil disabilities on account of religious opinion . The infliction of those disabilities ,

    whether on Catholic or Dissenter , is the one great grievance under which Christianity suffers ; and all suffer with it who have imbibed its just and liberal spirit .
