There are some capital articles in the Monthly Magazinf. for September. This 

 is, in fact, the oyili/ periodical which gives a register of the Month's occurrences — 

 and its general details are varied, amusing, and talented. Its political articles are 

 extremely pungent and powerful.— -i/er/a/ine Chronicle, Sept. 5. 



If we were asked — what possible good has accrued to the nation from the degrad- 

 ing apostacy of Peel, and his regiment of subordinate and subaltern turncoats? — wo 

 should reply, that it has roused the whole Protestant population of the empire to 

 watch, with a jealous eye, over the remnant of the constitution— it has taught them 

 not to trust their sacred cause into the hands of any one individual — it has called forth 

 the honest and virtuous indignation of the truly patriotic portion of the press — and 

 last, though not least, it has brought into public exercise, the energies of some of the 

 most able writers in defence of " Protestant Ascendancy," of which this age can 

 boast. But of all those who have latterly signalized themselves in our holy cause, 

 the highly talented editor of the Monthly Magazine holds the foremost rank. 

 Several of the articles which have appeared in this renovated periodical, would not 

 have disgraced Christopher North himself. Many have been the shots which, with 

 deadly and unerring aim, he has levelled at " Papistry" and " Liberalism," and the 

 abettors and supporters of both those pernicious creeds. He has stripped the tinsel 

 from the Joseph Surface of modern times, with the hand of a master, and he has 

 contributed, in a great measure, to cause the arch-apostate to be placed in his present 

 xinenviable situation— f/z. to be distrusted by his new associates, and detested by 

 those whom he traitorously deceived. It would occupy more of our space than we 

 have it in our power to devote, to speak of the relative merits of the able articles 

 which adorn the number for the present month, nor could such a notice do tliem 

 justice. We invite our friends to purchase the book, and gratify themselves with an 

 attentive perusal of its contents. We have, however, made room for the following 

 able observations upon the offer which has lately been held out to the Protestant 

 leaders in Parliament, to join the Wellington Administration. They are extracted 

 from a paper entitled " Ireland, the Orangemen, and the Papists ;" and while we have 

 such watchmen as the Editor of the Monthly Magazinf, we have but little to 

 fear from the machinations of Popish traitors and Protestant turncoats, and every 

 thing to hope that the mischief which has been perpetrated will work its own cure. —

The Monthly 3I.agazin f, under the new management, is, we are glad to perceive, 

 daily progressing — and most deservedly so — in public favour. In discussing ques- 

 tions of great political interest, the ability it displays is not more remarkable than is 

 the popular manner in which those questions are treated. When we have said that 

 the Number before us is fully equal to any of its immediate predecessors, we have 

 borne the highest testimony to its merits — anything further in the shape of commen- 

 dation, would be a work of supererogation. — Elgin Courier, July 17. 



The Monthly Magazine for July, is, as usual, an excellent number. VVhether 

 we turn to the grave or the gay, the understanding is satisfied, or the fancy delighted. 

 We extract the following from the article upon the Forty-shilling Freeholders, which 

 we recommend to the perusal of all lovers of truth. — * » *. — Derbyshire Courier,

Monthly Magazine.— It is truly comfortable, in these degenerate days, when 

 the Press teems with nauseating publications in favour of popery, intolerance, and 

 tyranny, when the boldest invasions of the rights of a free people, and the insidious 

 introduction of a military despotism, are made the sickening theme of venal eulogy, 

 and of treasonable commendation — it is truly comfortable, we i-epeat, to find, amid 

 this universal inundation of profligacy, this wide and watery waste of unconstitu- 

 tional principles, of blushless tergiversation, and revolutionary audacity, one little 

 sprig of true constitutional growth, rearing its head above the dreary expanse of 

 corruption, and otlering even a momentary resting place to the dove of Freedom, in 

 her search after honesty and constitutional principles. As such we hail with joy the 

 manly periodical appearance of the Monthly Magazine, which, under the auspices 

 of its present proprietors, nobly stems the torrentof popular delusion, exposes the 

 fallacies of those Jesuitical writers who have, unhappily for Britain, almost entire pos- 

 session of the periodical press, and proudly takes its stand upon those strictly 

 constitutional principles which emancipated our forefathers from the trammels which
