EXTRAORDINARY WORK-
" SERMONS TO ASSES."
-ow-

Mr. Hoes hes jilt pshlished a velem* tinder Ws
singular title. It is the production of the km Re*. J
MUSCAT, of Newcastle, a man eminently onalified
to reader wit, and even ridicule, subservient to the
best interests of mankind. We are twisted to 00.
tics this publicstion, because it contains, perhaps,
more origioal and jest views of society, more sound
reasoning on the rights of • free People, mote
pointed ridicule of hypottley io high placn, and more
important political troths, than ewer before were
produced by a clerical pen. It is an unsophisticated
sod successful attempt to prove, that the Scriptures
are uniformly hostile to lejustice, oppression, and
tyranny, under every form of rule. Its whole
scope is to " j vilify the ways of Goo to man," and
it may serve at once as the Moralist's manual and the
Christian's creed. Had the Scriptures been always
se applied, there would have been little cause for
that modern declamatory cant about deistical pro.
phonity, with which, le late times, we have been
so loudly shnted.
The characteristic properties of the animals, to
whom these Sermons are addressed, are thoroughly
understood by the preacher, end by a peculiar fell-
, city of description, are made pretty intelligible even
to his dell congregation. The labour, fatigue, and
wrongs, to which these patient creatures are reposed,
at the will and caprice of unfeeling masters, 'apply
the author with abundance of striking illestistinis of,
those oppressions which an ignorant people serer,
from the 'elfishness and knavery of their rulers.
Bet the part, in which the genius of the writer
triers* unrivalled—is in his attacks upon such ab.
setdities Os are sanctioned only by wage, end of such
errors and oppressions is are solely defended by
their antiquity. He is one of those, who allow no
other tests of right end wrong, than justice Nod in.
justice—truth and felsollood. Modern innovations
on the rights end happiness of society, are esamined
with the same sagacity, and condemned by the nine
tests.

In contending with inveterate prejudices, ridicule
is often found more efficacious thus reasoning, and
ao men ever knew twee, how to handle that formi-
dable weapon than this author. The various and ori.
ginal points of view in which he places the abuses
of National Establishments, both civil and religious,
teepattentioo constantly awake. Modem sernivnt, in
general, are ups to operate es a kind of soporific—
are sometimes unintelligible, often dull, and made
up
of trite common-place remarks, which mean so-
thing; or of fawning flattery of those who bear sway,
which means something worse than nothing. The
SEII3IOKI re claw are not of that stamp. They are
eddress.il to personages of high consideration. via :
Dociois in Divinity, Bishop., and Ministers of %slit!
liftwther they will be improved by those instructive
Lectures, remains to he seen ; but, we are cokfi.lent
that those of tke ['fork who peruse thew, will in•
deed be incorrigible Am, if 6,4 oym be not
opened to the political keavery and priestcraft that
prey os credulity ; and they will deserve to
be Ciassod with tha tribe of 11111,4611 who was
himself " a strung Aso, couching down between
two burdens." In short, when we recommits'sl
this singular and interesting work to the par.
stealer weirdos of our /tendon, we feel amend,
that we not only keep within the jest limits of pro.
fessionsl propriety, hut that by assisting to dills.,
a knowledge of important political truths, so admire.
bly developed in she form of SIMMONS to ASiZ4, we
are dircherging a seasonable and important duty to
the Public.

Mtsi'TRRIAL SWAGGERING.—If we ifs to believe
the London Courier, which as have received this

proud situation Their last goarter's maw, like
their last lottery, is always the bmt ; and the People,
who are suffering ender a complicytion of disorders
Iron their mismanagement, are celled upon by theserl
Stste.geacks, to believe themselves in perfect health:
as the song say s, "slrrah, sure, don't the doctor know
better than you !" Another specimen of ibis Mini.
aerial swaggering was velibited by this same Courier
s few days ago, when it copied from the Liverpool
Papers the table, lately published, of the amount of
the dock-dies of this port for the last seven years;
a statement which this Tressury.hark t.bserved was
'6 the best answer to the declamatory nonsense of pa.
(riots, who swear Mel the country u ruined and an.
done because they do not govern it."—Does not this

brought to port io our ships comes to • losing sod
ruinous market ?—.tie will propene a rele.of-three
