The religious periodicals are specially bound to give this news frorjj the justice-room of the republic of letters , as the culprits are divines , popular , " Evangelical" divines , wearing the broadest phylacteries of " orthodoxy . "

      One of these is " the Rev . John Angell James , minister of Carr ' s Lane Chapel , Birmingham . " This gentleman has been lately engaged in an attack upon stage amusements , which undoubtedly he had a right to attack . But his mode of warfare has been complained of in his own town , as not being quite agreeable to the rules of civilized hostilities . Nor is

      this all : a townsman has addressed a letter to him , forming a pamphlet of upwards of 100 pages , entitled , ( by a play upon oneof his own titles , ) " The Plagiary * Warned / " inwhichheconviqts the reverend gentleman of extensive depredations upon the works of others : whole pages

      of this serious monitor ' s are tracked by the vigilant letter-writer to a book by Dr . Styles , ouce employed in a contest similar to Mr . James ' s . That they may be followed up yet higher is not here
