lent contention has been raging on the subject * of tjie Trinity , occasioned by the known sentiments of Mr . Samuel Eddy , a member of the ancient Baptist church . This gentleman is of great respectability . He was educated at Brown University ( ft . I ., ) and twenty years ago received
at that institution the degree of LL . D . Twenty-two successive years he was the Secretary of the State of Rhode Island , and now he is a representative of that State in Congress . His learning and talents , as well as character , are highly spoken of . The church with which he was connected , called upon htm to state his religious views .
He did so , and chiefly in Scriptural language ; but protesting against the right of hb brethren to make inquisition into bis creed . This paper not giving satisfaction , he drew up a longer and more argumentative statement , in which he avowed and defended the general principles of Unitarianisni . He was , in consequence , forced oat of the church by a
vote of the majority . This we learn , through the kindness of Or . Evans , from a private letter and from a pamphlet , of which the second edition is before-us , entitled " Reasons offered by Samuel Eddy , Esq ., for his opinions , to the First Baptist Church in Providence , from which
he was compelled to withdraw for Heterodoxy . With this gentleman the controversy will not stop ; other persons are suspected ; and we confidently hope , that on a spot where Liberty has bejen 4 long planted , Truth also wiM at length and for ever take root . '

grandest events recorded in profane history . But it is not hi an epistle of this kind that I can indulge in feelings and reflections on these remembraac ^ s of Attic greatness : f hare a theme of a
Temples of Minerva and Theseus , the Areopagus , with &e surrounding la ' oantains of Myroettu * , Pentelieus , Pame « Egaleo * and Cithseroa ; the foind retires into the ages of antiquity , and the memory brings up before it a multitude of images of the greatest xn&n and tke
different kind , and one which is gtUi dearer to my heart than even that which 1 have now touched . I have news to ^ omradnicate' which will fill your hearts with joy : Athens also is become the seat of a Bible Society ! €
* This was an event which I darednot anticipate before my coming here ! aad which 1 did not even find myself at liberty to propose to ^ single individual , until the third day after my arrival . But
the ° X } od , whose we are , and whom we serve in the cause of the Bible , can make all hindrances give way ^ and erect motiUfiaent * of his mercy wheresoever he pleases .
" The Athens Bible Society was formed yesterday .. The Committee is composed of twelve of the most respectable men in the dty—all Greeks . Tlie Archbtehop , though absent at Constantinople , wa « yiomlnated President of the Institntioji , which honour , ft is feoped , he will not refuge t © accept ; Mr . Lo ^ gptheti , ^ he
British Consul , and Mr . Timaviti , were el « ct © d : ^ vice -pFesident ; s ; with six directors , two secretaries arid a tj ^^ swer . * ' > The immediate sphere of this « ociety ' s usefulness includes Attka and Boeotia , with' the BeSghtkmrlBf feles
