It is not necessaryto suspend nut judgment in coming
to this opinion till Mr. BUitIIETT'S reply is published,
as he would wish us to do—for it must be recollected
,
that both sides of the question have been already
heard. Ha made his accusations, those accusations
have been fully and impartially enquired into, and the
result is before the public, by whom justice will now be
clone to those whose conduct and character were
'assailed, when they had no possible means of defend-
ing themselves. Mr. BURNETT is Convicted of mis-
representation in repeated instances ; and with the
evidence of this report before us, we may set all his
accusations down as slander.

Yes, 'tis Slander,
Whose eelge ie sharper than the sword; whose tongue
Out-venoms all the worms of Nile; whose breath
Rides on' the posting winds, and doth belie
All corners of the world.

Our Readers must peruse with regret an advertise-
ment in this day's Paper, soliciting public relief for
that most meritorious class, the unemployed Printers
of London, who are now suffering all the privations
consequent on povertyand distress. We are sure that
the modest appeal of persons, whose labours are pro-
ductive of so many public benefits, will not be made
in vain. The distress which has been so generally
felt in the country, falls with accumulated misery upon
this suffering portion of, the community. They have
long struggled against the pressure of the, times, and
endured much in secret, hesitating to obtrude their
forlorn 'Foe, upon public attention ; and it is only
now, when numbers are added to the long list of
• distress, that they are compelled to ask aid from
those tr.,. whom their ingenious labours have af-
forded''lso much amusement and profit. When the
pubb..c extend their bounty to more clathourolis but
lesu deserving applicants, we feel persuaded that the
ingenuous 'and sensible address of the Journeymen
Printers will force its way 'to the heart, and awaken
public sympathy in favour of individuals so generally.
tiseful. • We understand that upwards of one thousand
• men are now out, of employ, with no prospect of getting
any till the bookselling business, and other branches of
literature, recover from their present depressed state.
We need not picture the deplorable situation in which
the families of these sufferers must be—the knowledge
that
.persons every way so deserving are in want, must
ensure, a speedy relief from those who look upon lite-
rature as the first ornament of a country, and education
• the. first blessing of a people.
