rity of the Bible itself is appealed to by ray ^ countrymen .-" I am , Sir , your obedient Servant , "SATYA-SADHUN . « Calcutta :
The name of Mr . Buckingham , as Editor of the Calcutta Journal , must be known to many of your readers by the noble stand he has been making against the despotic mandates of a Governor-General in Council , which so ill accord with the liberal sentiments of a Marquis of Hastings congratulating himself upon having delivered the press of Calcutta from the degrading and vexatious inquisition of a censor . The friend to whom I owe
the materials of the present communication , has put into my hands several letters which he has lately received from India . These contain very agreeable proofs that Mr . Buckingham is not only encouraged by an increasing circulation of his journal , but that he has attached to the support of his cause no small portion of the European talent in British India . Had
Sir W . Jones , for whom one might have desired a Nestor ' s age , been suffered by an all-wise but inscrutable Providence to see these days , he would have rejoiced to realize in the East , amidst the votaries of avarice and amtion , his own animated description of «« men , high-minded men Who know their rights , and , knowing , dare maintain . "
Such men , actuated by a spirit pacific , yet determined , who have the courage to repeat to Governors General and Boards of Direction or Controul , the expostulation , strike , but hear me , must , surely , at length be heard . J . T . RUTT .
I * . S . I am indebted to Mr . Wawne ( p . 337 ) for the courtesy with which he has expressed his opinion , or at least his suspicion , that the letter of his friend Mr . Howe should not have been offered for publication . I assure your correspondent that I would readily add this to the numerous instances of defective judgment , which recollection too easily supplies , could I consider the letter of Mr . Howe as " a private letter . " By private , Mr . Wawne certainly

designs confidential , for he will readily agree with me , that all epistolary correspondences are recommended by the circumstance that the letters were not written , as suspected of Pope ' s for the public eye . Now I am not aware that any letter could be less confidential than that in question
The acquaintance of the parties had but just commenced in Dorchester gaol , under the impression which my friend ' s wrongs and sufferings from the power of " wicked and unreasonable men , " could not fail to make on the mind of such a man as Mr . Howe , Nor can I discover in the letter any
trace of peculiar confidence , or the least hint at secrecy . Also , respecting the subject which has produced a discussion in your pages , such as I have no desire to prolong , I knew that it could not be private ; for , only a few years before the date of Mr . Howe ' s letter , I had myself written and been written
against on that subject , in the public prints ; and , in concert with a learned friend , long an eminent barrister , I had brought the question before the most public body of Dissenters to which we had access . It was our opinion , whether well or ill formed I will not now inquire , that the original
Rcgium Donum appeared to be a boon from the minister of the day , as a compromise for the justice which policy or power would not enable him to concede ; and , therefore , that it would be creditable to Dissenters to abandon the compromise , while they continued , as I hope they will never cease , to demand the justice .

Catholic Miracles in Germany . ri ^ HE Catholics in Germany appear JL to be making great efforts to recover , if possible , some part of the influence of which they have been deprived by the events which attended the French Revolution , —the secularization of the ecclesiastical electorates , and the general abolition of monasticorders , and appropriation of monastic property , except in the Austrian provinces . The latitude of scepticism m which some of the Protestants have indulged , has terrified some men of good feelings , but weak minds , into the bosom of that church which , by
