DOLMAN'S MAGAZINE—No. I.

The time seems fast approaching when not only
every political party, but every religious sect
will have its organs of the monthly as well
as of the weekly press. Dolman's Magazine is
evidently intended to be the monthly organ of
the British Roman Catholics; and, judging from
this, the first Number, we are of opinion that the
task of representing the thoughts and feelings of
the Roman Catholics of Great Britain, of defending
their faith, and of seeking redress for their grievances,
could not have fallen into abler hands. The great
purpose of this magazine is evidently the propagation
of the Roman Catholic doctrine ; and although its con-
tents are of the most varied character, there is not
one article—nay scarcely one sentence—throughout
the Number, which is n-A made to subserve to this
purpose We extract the following hit at the
pedantic puppy ism of the Puseyites with regard to
dates, from a very ably written article on the subject
of Tractarianism, in the shape of a review of a Pusey-
ite serm.)n, by Mr. Browne.
" Mr. Browno dates his sermon on the ' Feast of St.
Andrew, Apost. and Mart. 184445.' This is the style
in use among the Oxford Tractarians : and this style
their friends amongst the English Catholics have had the
weakness to copy. That is to say, they have adopted a
system of dates unintelligible to the community at large;
so inconvenient to themselves that they are obliged to
add to their almanacs explanatory calendars to which
they. may refer ; and different from the style followed
by their co religionists in every part of the world. We
have seen as many letters from Popes and Cardinals as
most Englishmen ; but they all signed their letters like
—like Christiaas as if their object was to be generally
understood, not to point themselves out as members of
a sect—however pious and learned. We well remember
some years ago, the amiable jocularity with which the
late lamented Bishop Baines told us of a skimish he had
just had with a correspondent. The latter, who, it should
seem, was a copier of the Tractarian plan, had dated his
letter to the Bishop with the name of the saint on whose
festival it was written. In answering the letter, Dr.
Baines had dated his reply Marsh Mallows.' This had
produced an indignant remonstrance from the corre-
spondent, with a request to know why the letter bore so
strange a date. I replied to him,' said the Bishop to
us, • that I gathered, from his own style of dating his
letters, that the days of_ the nunth were to be no longer
used as heretofore, and that each one was, theref Re, at
liberty to follow his own ideas in the matter ; that he,
my correspondent, had dated his letter a ith the name of
a saint of whom I had so seldom heard that Iwas obliged
t) take the trouble of referring to my breviary to see
when the festival had occurred : that I then remem-
bered a little monkish volume which gave, opposite to
each day of the year, the name of some flower or matter
of horticultural interest : that referring to this when I
dated my reply to him, I had found the day marked as
that on which Marsh Mallows' blossomed : that I
should be sorry if my new plan put him to any inconve-
nience ; but that as the old system of dates was to be
superseded, I intended, for my,own part, to follow that
of my little book."

THIRD EDITION OF “ THE SUN."

We hare received many conzplaintsfrom Subscribers who are frequently
disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault reels en-
tirely with the Yews-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only
injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is
still/nether aggravated by an extra charge of a lia4cpenny ((he Post-
office fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition.
This Edition contains the Latest Yews: Parliamentary Debates up to a
Quarter to Seven—The " Gazettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together
with the " Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Official
Prices of Shares in Railways, Sc. &c.—The Betting at Tattersall's on
Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds—
The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close —and all other
news arriving in London afer three o'clock in the afternoon, when the
Samd or Evening Edition goes to pews.
In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE
HOURS IN ADVANCE, a matter qi importance to those who want early

14 those places where the evening mail anises in the middle of the night,
the " MORNING SUN," containing ALL the &Wes, dc. &c., will
answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly.
Respectable Agents trill always supply the proper paper; but where any
wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The
Sun" Via., 112, Sh.cutd, where prompt attention will be paid to their
represcatakone.
