NEW THEOLOGICAL WORK.

2 vols. post Bvo, cloth,

An humble attempt to trace this character in the phy-
sical, the moral, and the spiritual world. Under therst
head it is demonstrated in the nature of things ; 9d Er the
second, in language as the vehicle of ihought—in habits,
customs, laws, and superstitions—including under this latter
division the theology of the heathen; under: the third it is
traced in the language of Scripture, in Divine Revelation,
and in the operations of grace ; which leads, in the last place,
-to the consideration of the great and fundamental doctrine of
the Trinity—the attributes of God, &c.

To which is appended, a series of Short Essays on various
points arising from the main discourse, in which will be
found some interesting illustrations derived from profane
literature, of the Mosaic account of the Deluge, and the
earliest events of the world, together with a candid examina-
tion of the 1260 days of Daniel, and other prophecies which
relate to the fulfilment of the Gentile Dispensation, and the
Second Advent of the Messiah.

AND GENERAL CO

following. extract front the Dublin Evening Mail of
the Bth of this month, in reply to the abuse of the London
government organs, places the conduct of the illustrious
Duke in a light from which it will be very difficult for the
sophistry and subserviency of the partisans of his Royal
Highness to withdraw it. The public will form their own
judgment on this most indelicate, and with regard to the late
Lady Augusta Murray, and the surviving children of the
marriage celebrated at Rome in 1793, most unnatural and
heartless business. It will appear from what has already
transpired, that the present conduct of the Duke of Sussex
is at complete variance with the professions of his earlier
days, and that since 1831, and more particularly within these
last few weeks, as much energy has been exerted to bastardize
his children by his former marriage, and legalize his present
connexion, as was formerly displayed, or professed to be dis-
played, for vindicating Lady Augusta Murray, and securing
the rights of legitimacy to his son, Sir Augustus D'Este. in
the mean time, the dignity of the highest individual in the
empire is lowered, not by the ardour of a youthful lover to
secure a fitting recognition of his bride, but by the tenacity
of an old man, whose life is, in the common order of nature,
approaching its termination, to gratify a sordid and disgrace-
ful vanity ; and the delicacy of a youthful queen offended by
inquiries, discussions, and exposures, which should never
have reached her ears. The following is the extract to which
we allude :

In 1831 Sir Augustus D'Este, by and with the advice of
his counsel learned in the law, did cause a bill to be filed in
Chancery, " with the view of obtaining an oath, and of per-
petuating the testimony of the clergyman (then of very ad-
vanced age, in fact upwards of 80 years old) by whom the
marriage at Rome was solemnized, and other evidence."
To this the then Attorney-General, Lord Grey being
prime minister of the day, was ordered by the government to
demur, and consequently did demur, thereby depriving, as
far as lay in the power of the law officers of the Crown, the
children of the marriage of the advantage to be derived from
the legal evidence given in that legal form which is considered
necessary for the establishment of the sufficency of the mar-
riage.
Will anyone stand upon the technical nicety, and say that
this demurrer and opposition were the act of the prime minis-
ter or the Attorney-General, and not the act of the Duke of
Sussex ? If there be such, we may pity his under-
standing, or admire his rhetoric, as the case 'may be; but
we shall not be won by his sophistry. Practically, and to
all intents and purposes, the demurrer was the act of the Duke
of Sussex, for it must be evident that if he who has now the
influence to procure the legal recognition of his present wife,
and her elevation to the rage, had at that time ,e.hgen to
koft 'ert his me at rtit; thpee
eog,litt:an of lii ITrfiier wife and
her issue, and not against them, he might hare accomplished
with respect to his former marriage, and its consequences.
all that he now can possibly effect in favour of the latter.
But he has not done so. He has, on the contrary, connived
at, if not directed, the demurrer of the Crown which de-
prived his children, and their mother's memory, equally of
what was due to both ; and, taking into account-his influence
in the Court and in the Cabinet, he stands justly chargeable
with the invidious and unkindly act. The bill had not been

We now hand over our contemporary to the judgment of
the public. It is obvious, from what we have now or hereto-
fore written on the subject, that we can have no desire to
wound the feelings of the Royal Duke, or to censure the pro-
ceedings now in progress for the public recognition of his
second marriage. What we have said, and still continue to
say, is this—that if it be just and expedient to legalize the
wedlock, with all its consequences, between the Royal Duke
and Lady Cecilia Underwood, justice and expediency
equally warrant the giving of the Royal and legal sanction to
to the marriage of his Royal Highness with Lady Augusta
Murray ; and that the former cannot be done, and the other
left undone, without a cruelty and injustice which we trust
the Royal Duke is incapable of recommending, which we
hope the Queen will neither adopt nor tolerate, and which
we are quite certain would be indignantly resented by every
man of honour in the empire.
