Human beings , everywhere e ** eHti * lly the same , demand as the condition of enjoy able Hfe ( which alone is life ) a , healthful exercise of all th « properties which constitute their nature .

A Duo our w on Natural Theology , showing the Nature of the Evidence , ar \ d the Advantages of the Study , By Henry Lord Brpugham . While this volume it more remarkable on account of it * author than of its contents , the latter are far from being of an every-day description . Nothing about Lord Brougham is common-place ; not even the abu&e with which he is aataiied , and which hai not only produced a strong recoil

Both might have hit by firing point-Wank . The former 1 ms yet another chance . It i « yet
within his reach to be the greatest man of hit time . We fear that a regard to temporary expediency is too deeply infixed in hie moral constitution to allow his winning this glory . But wa cannot utterly despair of him , Meanwhile , all the manifestation * of his vert * tjle mind excite lively interest . Just at the Grey ministry entered upon office , in 1830 , the Diffusion
