These questions we recommend to the careful consideration of every theological inquirer ; * and take leave of our author by assuring him , that ,
although we have detected a few inaccuracies of composition and punctuation , we have derived both pleiasure and instruction from the perusal of his little work . O . P . Q . —MB ^ toHM *

of August 18 , 1821 . Before Mr . Baron Wood and a Special Jury . Tried at the Summer Assizes , at Durham , on Tuesday v August 6 th , 1822 . To which is prefixed a
Report of the Preliminary Proceedings in the Court of King ' s Bench , London . 8 vo . pp . 58 . Durham , printed by J . A . Williams , and published by Ridgway , London .

out the kingdom , wlton the painful t £ - d ) ngs of her decease ^ eire received by tolling the bells of the Cathedral and Churches . But theve i ^ one exception to this vety creditable fact which demands especial notice . In this episcopal city , containing sue Churches , iudependently
of the Cathedral , not a single tjell announced the departure of the magnanimous spirit of the most injured of Queens —the most persecnted of women * . Thus the brutal enmity of those who embittered her mortal existence pursues her in her shroud . We know not whether any actual orders wei * e issued to prevent this
customary sign of mourning ; but the omission plainly indicates the kind of spirit which predominates among our clergy . Vet these men profess to be foU lowers of Jesus Christ , tb walk in his footsteps , to teach his precepts , to
inculcate his spirit , to promote harmony , charity and Christian love ! Out upon such hypocrisy ! It is such conduct which renders the very name of our Established Clergy odious till it stinks in the nostrils ; that makes our Churches look like
deserted sepulchres , rather than temples of the living God ; that raises up conventicles in every corner , and increases the brood of wild fanatics and enthusiasts ; that causes our beneficed dignitaries to
be regarded as usurpers of their possessions ; tliat deprives them of all pastoral influence and respect ; that , in short , has left them no support or prop iu the attachment or veneration of the people .
Sensible of the decline of their spiritual and moral influence , they cling to temporal power , and lose in their officiousness in political matters , even the semblance of the character of ministers of religion . It is impossible tfeat such a system can last . It is at war with the spirit of the
age , as well as with justice and reason , and the beetles who crawl about amidst its holes afad crevices , sict as if they * were striving to provoke and accelerate the blow which , sooner 4 * f * later , wlff inevitably crash the \ vhole fabric , and level it with the dust : "—Pp ^ Sw 6 .
