The ^ persons under prosecution are not authors , who , whether right or wjRoags , seek to lay their discoveries before the world , but needy tradesmen who bi ? frve the law for the sake of gai » and who calculate - upon a prosecution as n means
of notoriety and advancement in business . With such men we say again that we hare no sympathy ; and we regret exceedingly 4 bai their temerity should furnish govern ?* ment with so tempting an opportunity of interfering with the liberty of the press .

The Philanthropists Are Active In The Ho...
The philanthropists are active in the House of Commons . Petitipes have been presented to the House from the Corporation of London , aad from the Quakers , for « . revision of the Penal Laws . That from the latter class of persons was presented
by Mr . Wilberforce , who made an excellent speech on the occasion , in which he pronounced an eloquent euiegium upon the late Sir Samuel Romilly : this veteran in the war against inhumanity , gave is the speech a sort of pledge to take up the question of prisons and punishments . Why will he desert the province of public
charity , his own proper -sphere , where he chines with such distinguished lustre , for the narrow and miry field of party politics ^ where he has always floundered and sunk ? .---. Mr . Bennet has brought before Parliament the subjects of Transportation and of the Colony of New South Wales , and pointed out many flagrant evils and scandalous abuses . He moved for a Conir mittec of Inquiry , but was opposed by Lord Castlereagh , who , to evade i nquiry altogether , according to Mr . Tiei'ney , prpr posed that these matters should be referred to a Committee on Prisons , : & c ., for whieh he himself meant to move . Mr . Canning made the miseries *> f convicts and the
labours of the philanthropists on their behalf , subjects of mirth , and his jokes amused the House , though they provoked a severe castigation from Mr . Tierney . Ministers triumphed by a majority of fortyr six , io a House of two hundre d and thirtyr four . But it is evident that , an impulse is given to public benevolence which neither power nor artifice can long effectually resist .
