The new cheap Magazine called The Christian Physician includes politics,
and every class of subjects that bears on the condition of man. The Second Number contains the first of a series of concise and familiar expositions of the partial and op- pressive laws of this country, their origin, design, and effects, commencing with the Corn-Laws. The merit of these and the other articles consists not in their novelty or originality, but in the clear and forcible shape in which well-known truths are put for the benefit of the many. A table of the relative cost of the Clergy in different countries, in proportion to the number of hearers, is, as the editor remarks, like the handwriting on the wall to those who preach the religion of Christ and subscribe to his decla- ration " My kingdom is not of this world." It appears by this table, that the Clergy of England and Wales alone cost more than the whole of the rest of the Christian world put together ; though the number of hearers in other parts is thirty-one times as numerous as those in England and Wales. This one fact speaks volumes.
