.pE BISHOP AND THE SOLDIER.
, - Piirtawho' Sitting of the Parliament have passed
dince tsi. affair became notorious, and we hear of oo
• Messner ; no. nor of e‘ en a motion, relative to the
v.a"re. Nay, not a question bas been pot to the
bll-:inters by say of those vigilant, inquisitive and cc-
; techisiog Geatlemtn, who so lan !ably watch over the
nation's " cieese-parings, candle-ends, morals and re-
' " tigiox." This, to some, seems odd ; but, to us, it
Is not add at all.
There are some, who pretend, that the matter Is
too grok too " too indelicate" is their phrase;
and thit the prowalgation of the facts must do more
harm than the example of exposure and punishment
can do good; and this Is the apology for all the 10:12 •
derful silence that bas prevailed. Now, the honest
public will recollect what was the conduct of the same
parties in the ease of the ever-lamented and ever-
honoured Quern Caroline: Was there then any fear
of li.irtir7 pnVie morals by exposure and punish•
went? Oh, Hon ! Look down upon this THING, and
deal with it as thou didat deal with similar THINGS
in the old time!

LONDON:

Have we forgotten the Alessa4;re of the 6th of Jane.
18211? Rave we forgotten the threat at St. Onier's
Dave we forgotten the Bill of Pains and Peaallies?
flare we forgotten the arrival oft'ie wretches, who were
bunted from Dover to Harwich ? Hare we forgotten
the Cotton Gar.len fortress? Dare we forgotten the
Skeperd,ss of Frith 'tree! ? no ! nor the affair of
the Italian wi:ness, extracted from the fortress; nor,
alma all thing's, the opening speech of the Ar ro.nzey
Gem ce made as he etpressly said, agreeably to his
instructions that speech which stated, that the
Qualls bad witnessed an exhibition, in which the per-
former " imitated eie sexual iiat:reeqr*e." We bare
not forgotten those things. and, therefore, we must
deem those men, who blazoned the pretended acts of

the QUERN, and who now affect to believe that ai-
. /ease is the proper course, lest public morale should be
coutaraisved by speaking out ; we must deem all
these men, he they who they may, most monstrous and
a bominsble hypocrites.

IVltat! public morals injured by the exposure r*f
the act and the party! Public morals injured by this!
(h)tl of truth sod justice, hear these matchless hypo-
crites! It was to prevent ;milk mural. front being
injured; it was to preserve public ; this was
Me very growad, and the ONLY grotto& alleged
for the exposure, the Message, the Bill of Pains and
Proultie.s, and for all that mass of filth from the months
of the base Italiass, produced and promnlgated at pub.

Quota ! Public morals, they said, demanded, that
she should not live in a palace or hull a court.—
Public morals forbade her same to Ire pet In

regard to her, the part that they did take. Public
Morals ,called upon Parson .CCNSMIZIAM, of liar-
row on the Hill, to put forth a Letter, stigma-
tizing those that took her part.
