vend peculiarities of intellect or temper can toe perceived and remedied ; and , collected in' one domestic estayjshinetti , they are removed from the risk of promiscuous society , and incited tp correct deportment by ai ^ oowledge of the notice that is taken of riioir conduct .
The expenofcs attending the two © odes of education are not so easily compared , since a session at a Scotch University lasts barely six months , and at York rather more than nine , [ believe few will think that the terms at the latter place could be lower
thaa they are stated * in the paper rirculated by tfcie Trustees , without injury to those concerned . As to the incidental expences of books and clothes , &c . it rests with every
parent to fix them as he pleases . They may be moderate or extravagant as lie is profuse , or economical in his ajlowajice to his son . Something ' bust be left to a young man ' s own discretion : it is one great object of an acaflemical education to teach this
discretion , by leaving him more to himself than he has hitherto been left \ and thus preparing him to become entirely his own master . I would only ask , where are those habits most likely to be acquired which lead to profuse expenditure ? Where
youflg men are subject to no controul as to the choice of their society , and the . " place and manner of spending their time , or where they are under the salutary restraints of academical disci pline ?
I may seem to your readers , Sir , to h ^ ve wandered a good deal from the object which I professed to discuss ; but if they will consider that the Insututjon to which ! have referred is fe only one in which ^ JLaij Dissenter c receive a Dissenting education , ™ & leaving school , they will see toat the deviation is not so wide as it ^ ght appear .

Sir , THE subscribers to the Unitariao . Fund must have been highly ' ^ rktiffe ^ wjith the list of pulpit-subjects , ap « J the plan of sermons * furnished by th ^ ir intelligent and laborious Missionary , Mr . Wright , in your
last Number ( pp . % 5 Q 9 260 ); but some serious doubts have arisen in my mind , with regard to the propriety of " No . 32 , The Existence and Influence of the Devil , " as a topic for popular preaching . Is the doctrine of the New Testament sufficiently clear upon this point to warrant a Missionary
in deciding upon it ? Is it not , upon the whole , probable , that our Lord and the apostles believed , in some degree , in some sort of evil spirit ? Does not the statement of such a subject shock and terrify serious Christians , holding the vulgar faith , and close their ears against a missionary ? And does it not furnish low-minded ,
irreligious men , who will not examine the scriptures , and who care nothing about missionary preaching , with an authority for scoffing , and introduce the maxim of " no devil" into ale * houses and other places of like character , where it will be esteemed a licence to vice ! Above all , is it not
generally dangerous to pull down , rather than to build up the faith of tfie common people ,, and would it not answer every purpose of the worthy missionary , to assert the sole , all-perfect , and infinitely just and merciful government of Almighty God ?
Submitting these questions to your readers generally , and to Mr . Wright particularly , I am , Sir , A . Subscriber to the Fund . — ¦¦

Sir , LET your readers look into the Evangelical and Methodist Magazines , and they will be astonished at the vast sums of money raised amongst the denominations who respectively support those works , in aid of religious charities : but * tjieir astonishment will cease , when they see how those sums are raised , naittelv ,
by numerous subordinate and auxiliary societies , where the whole population of the sect is embodied , where the poor man gives in his sixpence aud the child its penny . . - 'H x - 1 rorti tfyis management , Unit& | i $ tite may iafee 0 , lewwMi . TtfUeir institution * 1
