    AMERICA . Unitarianism at Philadelphia . ( Extract of a letter from Philadelphia . ) " October \ % th . * ' The Unitarian Church here will probably be taken down next summer , and a new one built upon an enlarged scale . Some members of the Society have bought ground for the purpose , and

    IV . —Every Jew , desirous of learning a craft , or of imparting the knowledge of his peculiar art , must present himself before the city corporation , and give an account of himself , what kind of artizan he is , or what he wishes to learn . When the corporation , together with the officer of the Guild , have examined the certificates of

    the individual , let it then be ascertained who in his particular line might be called on to judge of his ability ; also , whether the art he professes is known in the town , and whether the knowledge of it will be of indispensable advantage to the community at large . And in every such case the opinion of the corporation must be decisive . The said Jews shall be

    allowed to remain in the town for a specified time , whilst the matter is brought to a termination , agreeably to the tenor of this law . V . —Jews thus obtaining the privilege of commencing business , may not settle any where without having , besides their certificate , a regular government passport .
