    ever , these en dowers of orthodoxy , these incorporators of the Trinity with Hie , bac , hoc , —these , forsooth , complain of the Established Chur < hy for acting on the principle of many ages standing , while they are now , voluntarily , making it their own rule of action . Is it then not

    domination Over conscience that the Orthodox Dissenters care about , but domination over their oivnconsciences ? Arc they afraid of slavery , o » ly when it is not voluntary , and of their own imposing ? And are they prepared , in the event of

    getting civil power , to attach privileges to some opinions , and to make others penal ? Their principle goes to this j and if they would repro * me these consequences of the principle , they ought to reject the principle itself . We should like to hear one of the Committee of this

    Institution , whether Divine , or Layman ., argue against a churchman , on the subject of Tests and Subscription to articles of f . iith . He must make finer distinctions than any in the Assemblys Catechism , before he could convince the churchman , that these modern Dissenters , are not as much friends to proscription , ( and proscription ALWAYS LEADS TO

    PERSECUTION , ) as the priests and churches whom they have most reviled . —It was , we believe , intended at first , to establish the Grammar School in . London , on the plan . of St . Paul ' s , and other similar day schools : -but , for reasons not stated , the Committee have purchased

    premises convenient for the ^ school . at Miii-Hill near Barnet . —The Rev . John Atkinson , one of the Tutors of . Hoxtoa Academy , has been chosen Heud Master .

    < c The fact is , * —end we oppose our statement to that of the Evangelical . Magazine , notwi ' hstanding its confidence , that the author of the Hints no where appears in them as a . Soc < nian , and that lie discovers a spirit v > hi ; h the Socinians highly disapprove—and that tha writer of the Re < vie : o under consideiation a .-. serteri , without any knowledge or authority , that he was su-ch , for the two'fold base

    ' purpose , of branding- an obnoxious work widi the stigma of an unpopular sentiment , and of "loadin g an unpopular

    sentiment with the odium , of an obnoxiou s work . We have now made' out our case against the MvangeVical Ma ^ a-zine ; and if there be any sense . of justice ( for we appeal not to candour ) in the conductors of

    it , they will not withhold some explanation of conduct , which , if we had not learned to distinguish between a system of faith and its profefsors , would incline us , much as we dislike it , to yield to the Banister ' s argument . jipril 4 > 1808 .

    An Institution of this nature , has been projected a considerable time , and is on the point of being established . The object of it is , to ' uni e the advantages of a strictly classical and reigious education , '' to teach Calvinism and grammar at the same- fime , and with equal method . The Assembly s Catechism is to be the . standard of orthodoxy in the school , and to be learned by every scholar without exception . We hear that the Baptists could not obtain , till after a hard struggle , the privilege for their children , of

    not learning that part of the catechism , y / In ' c huphoids infant-baptism . In Scotland , the . Latin language is termed Humanity s probably , on the maxim , that ingenues didicisse Jideliler artcs , emollit mores * nee . sinit es > st Jeres . The Dissenting biefhrenin England , however , will have JLatin and polemics * grammar and

    doctrinal animosity , the belles-lettres and the five points go together It is somewhat unexpected , and not a little mortifying to a , liberal mind , to s *; e in the nineteenth century , a body of people containing not a few men of good education , and

    cul . vited minds , establishing an Institution lor education , on the monkish , proacriptive principle , of uniformity of faith ! ——on a princ pie which many , unless they be unchan g eable , as well as infallible , m no long time exclude themselves fom the buildiny which their own hands have e-

    rectcd —which it is very probable will d "bar many of their children s childrcn from its benefits , —which , at least will be a burden upon posterity , a test , and a distinction , which must necessarily create religious antipathies and divisions .
