gained in the -cause of suffering humanity
over a hold attempt at oppression. lie Sea.
Bathing Infirmary, which was soseriously threat-
ened with annihilation, may now date the 'Com:
mencemcnt of its prosperity from the result of the
proceedings at Dover. The Life Giivernors
rived here, resterdav in their way to town,: at'
four o'clock, two barouches, with their 'horses
and drivers decorated with blue ribbons, as indi-
cative of tf;eir'decisive triumph'; the crowd who
had assembled; -anticipating their arrival, hailed
„them with acclammation. -Scripture-points oat in
mans passages, where " good comes out of evil,"
and the friends of humanity will not fail to view
this case as'nne Certain'it.
iS, that' the' extraOrdinary'and unprecedented act

such a lively sensation' throughout England; •%.till.•

Lis, Esq. one of the Li,e Goyernors -(though not-
one of those

when they are in possession of all :the facts. A
special 'court is' also convened 'in LOndon on
Monday next, for the .purpose of making'the
world acquainted with the whole of their pro-
ceedings. Mr. BAILEY'S reasons IniVe. already
been published ; they are very few, and will- be
,found in Mr. ELLIS'S pamphlet. One circum-
stance has just come to our knowledge, that is al-
most as difficult to account for as the refusal- of
the pulpit. - The Church at Minster has' always
opened its doors in aid of this institution, and
Mr. ROBERTS, the Curate, had kindly, undertaken
to preach h sernion on the 17th September, and
Mr. Simmot,is, the worthy Rector, has prmn2sed
to preach in its behalf next year: The sermon
was in con§equeace advertised,' and Pumerous
parties from Margate went, over to assist it : you
may conceive their surprise better that} I can de-
scribe it, -when they were told the. sermon. mast
not be preached for this institution,- BAILEY
having wyitten to the Curate on the duy previous
'(nark this), to say Mr..SI,MMONS had rescinded
his, promise, and if lie bad not received his letter
to this effect, he, Mr. BAILEY, llliide-11411Se1f re-
sponsible for it. it-r Mr. Ropus did not receive'
any letter from.the Vicar. Now it really does
appear;that the acknowledged right to refuse his
own support (the propriety of Whicli• is 'abOtit to
he canvassed), does not include the justification
of ally Gentleman who shall 'Make himkelf a vo-
luntary instruMen't to 'dissuade others front the
exercise of their kind intentions to a:d the funds--
of a charity.' The-effect tutl example of such a
practice wOtild militate against the very spirit of .
genuine. beneficenCe, "and would excite the just.
censure of consideratt men. As the public have
taken such a: lively anol praiseworthy interest' in
this affair, .'you shall' occasionally hear of the
progress made—in-elueidating this most extraor
