The Standard, on Tuesday, charged the Courier with having been
" villanously imposed upon by some Popish transcriber " of a passage in WARBURTON'S "Alliance between Church and State." But it turned out that the Courier had correctly quoted the pas- sage in question, from the last and only complete edition of WAR- BURTON'S works by HURD; whereas the Standard had referred to an earlier edition, taking it for granted that no alteration could have been made in a subsequent one. In order to satisfy the Standard that WARBURTON himself had given the "Popish" turn to the sentence, the Fourth Volume dills Works was deposited at the Courier Office, there to remain till Tuesday next, with full liberty to the editor of the Standard or any transcriber, Popish or Protestant, whom they may appoint, to take extracts therefrom; and the generous Courier also offers to furnish a full supply of foolscap, pens, and ink, to its " learned friends " of Blackfriars.
