THE BOWDITCHFS..---•li will be recollected these
persons were sentenced the King's Bench to
various terms of imprisonment, for having ford-
blv carried off a young heiress, named Maria
Glenn, from Taunton. A prosecotion has been
since instituted against Miss Glenn, and another
witness, named Mary Whitby, for perjury, al-
leged to have been committed on the trial. In
the early part of the week, the London Grand
Jnry four.d a bill of indictment against the last-
mentioned persons, and on Friday morning Miss
Glenn and Mary Whitby arrived in London, ac-
companied by Mr. 'rocket, the guardian of the
former, to put in their plea and give bail.
day evening the parties attended at Mr. SHEL-
TON'S Office, and the defendants having pleaded
Not Guiliy, were admitted to bail. The case, it
s understood, will be removed by certitrrari- into
the King's Bench.

The, Reviewers complain, that the conduct of
the education Committee has been made what.'
they call a party question ; and they assert that
if " moral evidence," can decide the point, there
exists such evidence- in superfluity to prove, that
the •‘ distinguished individual" who took the lead -
in its proceedings was influenced throughout by
the purest and loftiest principles. This is in the
true spirit of controversial audacity, by which
the Journal has ever been distinguished,. and
which has prompted tke ingenious authors, in their
more despera:e. extremities, to assume a torte of
defiance altogether ,foreign to the character of the
transactiou, which they are summoned to defend.
If they cannot propitiate favour, they imagine
that they can at least overpower resistance by this
fearless effrontery. It is in their hour of (la; kest
perplexity that they are ever most prolific of mu-
tual and fulsome eulogy—of bold appeals to cha-
racter and reputation—of fierce and contemptuous
denunciations of their opponents. There is a sot t
of desperate courage in all .this which has is
merit, acid, in the case of the Edinburgh Review,
has already won its ample rewards—for the ex-
amples arc innumerable in which that journal has
achieved a short-lived useless triumph, by the
mere appalling, audacity of its assertions ; but
every artifice of this, kind has its natural limits,
and the Review has now flourished long enough
upon the strength_ of this simple and witless ex-
pedient. It is really too much, atter the calm
and careful develupemeut of facts in the Quarterly
Review, fixing the taint of wayward ambition on
the Committee and its learned Chairman, with all
the precision of judicial inquiry,. thus to assume
in limine the exemption of the'` distinguished in-
dividual" front that reproach which forms the very
essence of this grave and momeeitous_controversy.
But who is this distinguished. individual, bus
lifted by moral evidence so far -above the.breath
of suspicion ? We profess with entire sincerity
that we should never have guessed, from the lan-
guage with which the Reviewer decorates his en-
tree; but he is named soon after, and therefore we
know it is of Mr. Henry Brougham the critic
speaks. This gentleman is a prominent public
character, and, in that point of view, we.are war-
ranted to speak of him with the freedom and sin-
cerity of truth. 11l would it become the man
who has sought; in political differences, the justi-
fication of is rancour which survives- the stroke of
death itself, and disturbs, with its bitter murmors,
the consecrated Ocoee of the -tonsh---,who has
publicly -avowed a wish that his enmity to the
name of .Pitt might be recorded on his epitaph,
ill would it become hint to complain, that the
truce which he refuses to the imputed frailties of
the mighty dead, should be denied to his own
living errors, now in the full energy of their mis-
chievous operation.
(To be concluded To-morrow.)

West•EATER..--A few days since a fellow in
the neighbourhood of Flintley, named Fishrq,
whose gluttonous propensities have long since ac-
quired the by.itame of the Cormorant, undertook,
for a trifling wager, to eat .a dozen live wasps,
with -their,"stings in them, and demolish two
pounds of raw salmon, .in the short space of ten
minutes. This he achieved. with compat alive ex-
pedition, notwithstanding he was sorely perplexed
over his first course. . He afterwards offered to
eat tvAlps by wholesale, at the rate of sixpence per
dozen this be cunt intted doing till he, had con-
sumed nearly two dozen, when , his throat and
mouth became so dreadfully swollen and inflamed,
that he ,was obliged to desist, in a state alums(
bordering,oulnatiurss.and suffocation.; _ •

. The peril cannot be prevented :—it can only
be punished.—And that, after a long and formal
process, during which, the peril may be accona•
plished.—Even the fruitless compinsation of
punishment may be eluded ; while the only useful
measure, prevention, may be defeated.
•Aye, truly. When the designers of the pre-
vention shall be prevented; it will not be easy to
save the enforcers of the punishment front being
punished.
Aye, truly. Mobs may assemble in thousands,
with banners, and weapons, and military array,
for the avowed purpose of procuring illegal mea-
sures—and the King's Justices may read the Riot
Act, and must sit quietly for one whole hour to
see the illegality attained.
•To be sure. For that is the Law ! And the
Law is the Constitution ! ! And the Constitution
belongs to the People ! !
'Sir, if the Constitution can save itself, by the
Laws already provided, let it be saved accordingly.
If it cannot, it mast be saver{ any how. All new
means to save the Constitution, should the old
means be inadequate, are constitutional—
Because the Constitution is the supreme Power.
Could all the individuals of Great Britain be
aggregated in one place, and could they all `speak
with one voice—still, I say, they are not cousti,
tutionally the People.
Could it be further possible, that"the House of
Commons, which alone is the People, should de-
main! the alteration of the Constitution—they'
would not be entitled to it. Because the Consti•
tution is not the People's.
. Neither duesit•belong to the King. Nor to the
Peers. It is: theindivisible property of the Ott ee
Estates. Each possesses .a third in its common
Whole.
But the King is its only executive power. To
him, therefore, its protection is cominitted in ALL
cases. Where it can be protected by the existing
Laws, he must enforce them. Where, the exist-
ing Laws are not, by their formalities or other
causes of inadequacy, sufficient to that protec-
tion, he, and the bearers of his commission, must
protect the Constitution by its own power..
1 shall be obliged to any Radical Reformer,
who has learning enough—l do not diTtite the
fellow's leisure—to spew me, what act is illegal,
without which the Constitution cannot he saved ; and
which Ihr...constitution does therefore, by its Execu.
aye Power, to save itself
