Free Pres * and' Unitarta ' nism in India . * ** It inust gratify every friend to the progress of humku reason . to learn , that notwithstanding the difficulties so long considered insuperable , a glorious change IS effecting in British India . The frie
press of Calcutta" has operated most powerfully in reforming the most inveterate and revolting abuses . The effect of seven native presses at work in that great city has been to triumph over Hindoo superstition in its strong hold . During the last festival of Jagaruaut there were so
few pilgrims present that they were unable to drag the car . The Brahmins called in other aid , but no devotee could be per-Snadedto sacrifice himself to the Idol . They rtow talk o £ removing the Rath to a more < rentral situation . The wily priesthood have sagacity enough to perceive that
they must remove the theatre of their sanguinary superstition beyond the sphere of a free press ; or that the bigotry of thirty centuries will disappear . To the permanent glory of our Indian Administration , a large portion , of the population of Bengal are receiving the rudiments of
an improved system of education , while thousands of elementary works are circulating throughout our empire . Even Hindoo women , against whom widowhood * , and consequent burning alive , are denounced for learning , the alphabet , and who must not read the Veda , under pain of death , have placed their daughters at

the public schools . The celebrated Hindoo Reformer , Jftam Moktin ifytf , ktes held public montblv Meetings * at '^ C ^ df C ^ " for the purpose of fleely disctisfehtg tllte tenets of his religion , and exposing the cruelties practised tinder it . By th £ way , a Mr . Adam , a Baptist Missionary , awakened by the arguments of this Hindoo Reformer , has declared himself an 0
hitarian , and established an TJnit&H&n press . This conversion gave great umbrage in a certain quarter ' , and the Attorney General was applied to , to interpose the shield of some antiquated statute , to protect spiritual intolerance . As became his
talents and his character , the enlightened Lawyer assured the that these days were passed . Mr . Adam , consequently , remains at Calcutta , supported and encouraged by some of its respectable inhabitants , who are about to erect an Unitarian Chapel for him . Such are the blessiugs of unfettered discussion . '
We copy the above paragraph from the Morning Chronicle . The statement with regard to Ram Mohun Rot / and Mr . + 4 dam is quite correct , as we hope for an occasion of shewing very fully ere long . Can the writer mean that the _ blank in the passage should be filled up with xhv . name of Dr . Middleton , the Bishop of Calcutta ? Is it thus that Episcopacy displays its novel front in the East Indies ? Has the
learned Bishop no reliance upon his fond argument against the Unitarians from the Greek article , and would he uphold the doctrine of the Trinity by banishing its opponents from the earth ? Happily , the recent law for the protection of Missionaries in our Asiatic dependencies is as good for Unitarians # S for Athanasians and Caivinists .
