AND EXI:IIPLIFICATION IN THE NEW TIMES.

Tl.is is /be richest style of the Bstholic kind ; it
not only allows the writer to be very doll bat very
%tines ; it's most predominating medic-ace is the
privilege which it bestows of contradicting by wimple
that which you are engaged in establishing by pre-
cept ; for instance, soppy.. that POPS'S hero, after

of his, which be enforced with a logic no less placid

in order to teach them humanity and fellow-feeling.
Such excellent 'samples could not fail to "nits imi-

Poet have added a new bronzed border to their old
pewter helmets, which they have found mightily
useful in fending off the oaken cudgels, which have
been so unsuccessfully applied to their broad fore-

will recur to an instance of the manners of the
Slop school which has taken place In that cele•

It is a letter to Sir F. Boansrr ; it is • remonstrance
against the Baronet's celebrated letter, and the first
ptrogreph admonishes him of the danger of thus en-
&atoning to throw down the Constitution, which,
in that case could only be re-erected "by the whitest-
gog bons of thousands of on fellow-subjects. Be this

If we mistake sot, as the Edinburgh Review
said of the Poste, we po the elements of a
new school of morals, the glory of which will
reach over the whole ocean of futurity. This is
beyond Bishop Braztzr ; if he hail heard of the
affair which called forth Sir F. liceozres letter, m-

that, in idea, murder had been committed, anti that
the idea of Sir Firsocts's deounciation followed ns-
te►ally enough. This is better ; here we find that
spilling blood illegally is not minder, bet that an)
remonstrance or complaint against such doiugs, is as
attempt to enbdie the Constitution, and that whitened
