Can such things be,

SmKSPEARE.

The excitement lately produced by the publicalion of a Report
by t!ie Managers of the Magdalen Asylum, and the threat of issu¬
ing a second edition, which will no doubt be presented in a garb¬
led or more infamous .style than the original, has induced the pub¬
lisher to present the American community with an edition to which
is added quotations from such parts of the New Testame nt as is
applicable to the authors of the most foul, daring, and unprincipled
calumny ever attempted upon the sex of any society ; and whic
under the most abandoned or profligate governments, would have
met with a prompt and vigorous chastisement.—Unfortunately in
this case, tiie mildnessof our laws protects the wretches whose dark
and unhallowed designs are but faintly developed : and who if
tolerated will ere long reduce the people of this country to the de¬
graded situation of those, who once inhabited Sodom and Gomor-
rha.—It is thus that abandoned wretches under the mask of reli¬
gion have endeavoured to plunge the poisoned arrow of jealousy be¬
tween Husband and Wife, and sever the bonds of affection between
Brother and Sister, strike a death blow to ail moral feeling, and for
ever destroy the nice attributes of human nature.    A LAYMAN.
