    Friend&hip'Y Offering is & volume ^ of much external elegance . Its tasteful stamped binding is unique . In the list of contributors are some names that have passed the ordeal of literary criticism ,

    though the majority are mere candidates for fame * The Poet Laureate ' s " Funeral JSong for the Princess Charlotte of Wales , " will be read as Jong as the " Bellman ' s Verses" now lying before us . " The Rustic Wreath" is one of Miss Mitford ' s

    sunny and heart-warming * ' Village Sto * lies . " Mrs ; Holland's character of Jonathan Honey wood in " The Comforts of Conceited ness , " is a spirited sketch . The anonymous article " On Housekeepers ^' the writer of which we fancy / we can dis * cover , has considerable merit . « ' The

    Three Advices * by T . Crofton Croker , " is a good story * in the manner of the Franklin or moral-economy school ; and the picture of the misery ,, sullenness , and desperation , of the negro-slave , in the anonymous verses entitled " The Captive , ** cannot be contemplated without thrilling interest .

    The Plates in this work appear to great disadvantage , when examined immediately after those m the Keep-sake . None of them , indeed , claim a high eulogium . ** The Italian Wanderer , " by Romney , from Gill , is pretty ; — " Titian ' s Last Picture , " byEnsom , from Bone , is good ; —the view of " Bombay *'' by Jeavons , from Witherington ,. is neatly done and

    is , we presume , accurate : ; r * - * " The Cojfctage Diorama , " by ; T . Garner , a name new to us , f rom Webster , ; is clever , and entitles us to pronounce the engraver to be able and ; promising in the art ; — " The Captive Slave / ' by E . Finden , from Simpson , does justice to : a very expressive picture .

    Time * a Telescope , is , amidst the " annuals , ' * like a , Plain Friend * as * the true Quaker is called , iu an assembly of balles and beaux . There is little ; that is orna * mental , but much that ia useful , and valuable ,, in this yearly publication , which

    has now lived throughi fourteen winters ' snows . As long as there , are those ; that pirize i ? eai knowledge and * solid instruct lion , above that which tempts the eye or pleases the imagination ,, Time ' s ^ Tele * scope will not be without its patrons .

    llveyed hi the OhHitritin CHamt , Alnwick , on Sunday Evening , Jpril &th , 1827 , to Reply to the Rev David Paterson * 8 " Discourse on the Unitarian Controver&gS * By John Wright * 8 vo * jp {>; 32 ; Aln > wick , printed by W . E ) avison ;

    The Unitarian controversy , seems to have been carried ! on for some time with great warmth at Alnwick ; tfea press being fed by the . pulpit . We have not seen Mr . Paterson ' s publications ,, but we learn from , the " Repif" beftxie us that be is an unmeasured reviler ^ of the

    Unitarians . He may ,- however , ; be left > , to Mr . John Wright ^ whois a sturdy disputant , and calls things by tfiem proper names , and is fully aware of the safety of his- own ground , and quite able to maintain his- position » . Our observation and ex-pei ience agree with the Lecturer ' s ^ as expressed- iu the following passage :

    " I have for a considerable time past conversed with many of the sober-minded and judicious part of the community /; with many individuals whose native simplicity ranks themr among those wjlio are by no means likely to give an injudicious statement of what they have rea 4 it * Scripture * . And * I have not found one who ,, from a perusal of hia Bible , be * lieved : that Jesus Ghiist ? was > God > AIt

    mighty .. Not one have I found who could say that he had read in Scripture that Jesus Christ was of himself God Almighty . I have found that , however much many of them were shocked with the sound ; or title- of Unitarian , their ideas were almost , strictly Unitarian . And I do believe that the generality of professing Christians are so , without being aware of it * And I am stilt further convinced that were the ministers

    of what is commonly called the orthodox faith , literally to abide by their cueedi , the * result would soon her evident . t To the candid ,, the sober-ruinded , andiinoro judicious- part of the community , we have only to- state ; the truth' simply and ad * vise them to nerowe the New T « 8 t 6 iiicrtt , and they will soon acknowledge that

    Jesus Christ is not God Almighty , but inferior : to Him ; a being who depends upon the Eternal Father from * whom he received those powers wjiich distinguished him * fty > m ari other itaen ; that tfhte own self he could do nothing ? ' that it was ' the Father who dW tfo wofiks through Ww . " '—Pp . M ,. 12 .
