INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) VICE-CHANCtLLOR'S COURT. • LUfHINGTQN V. SEWEL. In thi s case ; w hi c h o ccup i e d t he Court for :late or four days, a bill had been filed for the purpose of determining the rights of the parties under the will of the late Mr. Lewis. The greater part of the pro perty left by the testator consisted of West India • -Plantations . , and the various provisions in his will for wearing the comforts of his slaves formed the only feature of interest in the case. Mr. Lewis left the 'plantation called Cornwall, in the Island of Jamaica, to his elder sister, Lady Lushington,. subject, to cer tain limitations; and to his other sister, Mrs. Shed don, he left a moiety of the Hordley plantation. In codicil to his will, he states .his solemn conviction that the poor negroes could not be protected if com mitted to the care of an attorney, and therefore de .clares, that I' l vitosoever may happen to hold the es tates must 'reside on them for three months in each Year. 'That if the estates be in the possession of a wo man, she must either go herself, or send her husband, child, •or some relation s unless den gerows illness, rebellion in the Island, or some 1 : 0 1f..r valid legal excuse should prevent this r endition from being fulfilled in one year. It :must in that case be performed in the following Year, and if three years should elapse without 'corn . Phance with the condition, the estates were to be forfeited to the. next heir, who should be wil ling to perform it, and they were to remain in his possession as long as he observed the said con dition' and no longer. If, however, no p erson co,uldbe found to take the estates, subject to the 'condition, they were to be held by the Lord Chamellor, for the time being, in trust, until some Bair should be willing to comply with the testator's wishes. And as the testator desired that nothing should be neglected that could tend to secure the negroes from oppression, he authorised the Lord Chancellor, if the estates came into his hands, to . appoint a proper, person to reside on the plantations, for the purpose of acting as guardian to the slav es. The testator, in his will, ma k es the most solemn . appeal to the• Courts of Law and the Judges of the and,, beseeches them not to allow any base quibble, or t ec h n i cal evasion to prevail in de- Seating these his humane wishes ; , and if any man 'could b e f ound so wanting in principle as to hold the estates w i t h out fulfilling the condition, the tes tator declares that such person ought to be branded as a robbei, and expresses his earnest wish that the Tates may not remain in his hands or those of his chil dren- The testator was the _more anxious to "D r ess his desire in the most unequivocal manner, as a lawyer whom he consulted on the sub- Jett hinted the probability of some attempt being made to evade the condition. It would ' , PPeat that the lawyer was not very wrong iu his surmise, as both parties had neglected to ful the condition ; and it was now argued by their 9 9 1 3 with the most perfect unanimity, that • th e i )-94 tion was ill ega l, an d one which a Court of , q q ., 4l ,tY could not enforce. t. ;toe VicE-CHANCELLOR refused to express an 1344(3 0 on that question, as it had not been raised 1011 1, t "e pleadings. When some person claimed the 'estat enou es p under that co n di t i on , it would b e .t i me ' g tor the Court t o d ec id e t h e po i nt . Wi t h PPeet to the oth er parts o f t h e case, hi s Honour • $ ll4 l give his j u d gment w h en h e h a d rea d all the Pers carefully through. iu COURT OF KING'S BENCH. kor a V. wira.Ltat JONES, ESQ., MARSHAL OF THE KINS BENCH PRISON. b Mr. GURNEY said, that he appeared for Mr. Jones, that Wbom he Wa s aut h or i se d to express hi s regret, 4 he (Mr. Jones) should have been b e t raye d into 80 • e mi 2 in -stateents, in his lat e p u bli cat i on on t h e " 11 s6ivent Debtors' A c t." Th e f act was, that the f 4 terials from whi c h h e composed that work, were tu• ished by an eminent attorney, who had la lv tactised for man y years i n t h at C ourt, on l aced statements and inf orma ti on , M r . J ones z 4 eed the most implicit confidence; but it had turned- out-that the - iftttirneylitm4ltivai tuh..iu c%led i n man y p ar ti cu l ars , an d t h at t h e f ees state d h inlirn were not exacted; and Mr. Jones co ns id e r e d tis 'We to his own character, as w e ll as i n j us ti ce t o Th "° B e injured, t o ac k now l e d ge hi s error i n t hi s pu bli c :" 4 oner. He had no intention whatever to cast un 'l4; 4 t imputations on the characters of th e Commis -'')/lers, with two of whom he had li ve d on h a bit s o f , t ! t itriacy for the last twenty years.. Under these t it elltustances, the Learned Counsel hoped the At to°rney-General would be satisfied with the full apo 51' which Mr. Jones now made, and would not em• ceed any farther. He had no notice of the mis -7,4es he had fallen into till the motion was m a d e , '' l 'oerwise he would have apologised. He was quite 'ady to pay the costs of the rule upon its being m 'scharged. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL sa id, that th e on l y : ) ttieet of the Commissioners in making the applies.- n lo Was t o v i n di ca t e th e i r own h on our and inte- ZtY., and that of their officers, from the aspersions upon them by the defendant, and as he had now :fillip acknowledged his mistakes, and handsomely Polog ize d for his conduct, the CommiSsioners were I tii to satisfied, and would not proceed,any further. th •Lord TENTERDEN tO Mr. GURNEY.—Then pay e .oots, and let the rule be discharged. JUDGMENT. ii . bus xura v. JOHN BERNANDA DA ROTCHA. c, r • BROUGHAM moved the judgment of the ..„I° 4ll against the defendant, who was convicted v "t tw o years ago of publishing the most aggra rhatoe4 atid atrocious libels upon the Marquis de e ues then Envoy Extraordinary from Portugal in - his tc , county in a periodical work, called the - t 7tuguez Y ." The defendant was then discharged on his Own recognizances; but no sooner was he set at l iberty violent than he continued till now in the most the manner to repeat the same foul aspersions in same _publication. Lord TENTHRDEN read at length the evidence adduced at the former trial, from which it appeared .that the defendant had charged the Marquis de Pal oiella with having received the sum of 85,0001., Which was agreed between the Portuguese Govern ment and that of this country, as the share due to the Portuguese Army, of the spoils recovered by the Allied Army from the enemy in the Peninsular war, and with having, instead of distributing it, a s it was intended, among the Portuguese Army, divided it with two of his colleagues in the Portuguese Government, and appropriated it to their own u se ; whereas, in fact, the money had not come into the Alarquis de Palmella's hands till Dec. 1825, although the defendant published the Charg e in Nov. 1824. T -n another h . Excel paper is le 1 • cred i h ncy was c.ictr,„ wt- h aving received and appro priated four hundred millions of real!, being the amount of the spoils obtained at Vittoria, to his ° wn use, and with having taken up a million of cru sdes, which were deposited in the bank at Portu- Pili in or d er to b e di s t r ibuted am ong the arm and 4131 4r 0 priati ng them to his own use. y , fen he CO MMO N SERGEANT appeared for the de to deuse t, and e xpressed his regret that he was obli ged even rt hi s c lient, as he could not say any thi ng inPalli at i on of his conduct. All that he could -8 Y w as, that the defendant was a gentleman, a ;cholar a i! literary character, of the same pro-. " si " with himself—that he was in great Poierty, having been obliged to leave his %it tree rY in consequence of his attachment to , and constitutional principles of government ; net.he was deprived of the society of his family and i t t i c , (ltzain tanees; and was consequently deprived of e consolation and advice of those who would take . an i nterest i n his affairs, and that in a foreign coun, t! . y; that the only means of subsistence he had was the proceeds of the above publication, the circulation of Which was once considerable, but was now beCome .ktr enie i- i; : .1 A 1 Ahnhte,..,an. consequently the pro fi ts small ; '..t.lat he was in bad health, and in this deplorable tliation that he could not be expected to b e alto t,her und er t h e gu id ance o f reason.

The market this morning exhibited a tolerably fair supply .of most kinds of Fish. The following were the prices : • Prime large Tutbots, 18s. to 205. each ; small do. ss. Ss. to 12s. each; Salmon, Is. 6d. to Is. 9d. per lb. ; do. inferior, Is. to Is. VI. do. ; Salmon Treut, 10d. ; Brill, 3s. to 4s. each ; Whitings, 3s. 6d. to ss. per basket (con taining fifteen). Soles were high, but very good,—fine Brighton, 4s. 6d. per three good pair; common do. 6s. per dozen pairs; large Lobsters, 255. per score; small do. 15s. to 17s. do. ; Shrimps, 2s. to 2s. 6d. per gallon. A considerable quantity of vessel Mackerel was exhibited for sale at 16s. per hundred, but they appeared very ordinary ; fine Dover or Brighton land-carriage 88s. to 40s. per hundred. In the prices of other Fish no material alteration. 1....-vr.mt wa,a begun on Out no/tatf.. of A. J. Hamilton, Esq. of Dalzell, last week. A very fine field upon the Clyde was cut and put into ricks by the middle of the week. Should the weather continue favourable, they will have constant cutting, as the fine crops on that estate are in a very ready state. The active and well-di rected benevolence and public spirit of this gentleman, de serves the highest praise. In the end of last year, he em ployed a great number of the poor operatives of Dalzell parish, in trenching and beautifying his estate, which was the means of making cheerful, what would otherwise have been a very uncomfortable home. He has by these means been no loser, and the decided superiority of his crops, show that his skill as an agriculturist is nothing inferior to his other good qualities.—Caledonian Mercury. The Hay Harvest has generally commenced in this neighbourhood ; the crops are remarkably heavy, and what hay has already been stacked has been got in well. Grain of all descriptions give every appearance of a plenteous harvest. Pottery Mercury. The hay harvest in this neighbourhood is drawing to a close. The crops, in most instances, were exceedingly goOd, and never was it known to have Liken got together in finer order. The early sown, turnips look very flourishing. The wheat is in full blossom, and a stronger crop has rarely been witnessed. The same may be said of barley, and lent grain in general. If the har vest should be favourable, it is not likely we shall want to be dependent upon foreign coun tries, at least for the next year, for that necessary article of food, bread. A good deal of sensation has been felt here during the agitation of the Corn Question in Parliament. The measure adopted by Mr. CANNING for bringing the bonded corn into the market, seems to have had the effect of checking speculation,—at least if we may judge from the proceedings of last mar ket-day. The buyers were very shy. The market may be said however to have supported its price, viz., about 151. a load. Stock was not so abundant as last market-day. There were about 2000 sheep penned, 200 calves, 50 fat cattle, and but few pigs, and those very dear.- - . Brighton Gazette. EPILEPSY.--On Monday, a woman going along George-street, Glasgow, was suddenly attacked with a fit of epilepsy, having at her breast at the time a child six months old. Such a distressing situation speedily attracteda crowd of spectators, who were, however, unable to yield the womat t any relief. In a few minutes, a young sailor breaking through the crowd, called for some grains of coarse salt, which he forced into the woman's month. This immediately . had the effect of restoring the woman's sensation arid speech, and her convulsion was at once put a stop to. The young man, who has been at Madagascar and in other foreign pla ces , sa y s h e has seen this remedy applied to persons in epilepsy with great success.—Edinburgh Even ing Courant. A duel took place a year . ago in the wood of Boulogne, between two medical students ; one of them was hit with a pistol-ball, and died on the spot ; the other fled immediately. A prose cution Was entered against the latter, tending to show that the combat did not take place accord ing to the usual forms adopted for the purpose o f nullifying the effects of these deplorable quar rels. Being referred from the Chamber of Ac cusation to -the Court of Assizes, Sieur Godard suffered himself to be judged par contumace, and was sentenced to hard,. labour for life, as having been guilty of voluntary murder. He was taken prisoner within the last fortnight, and pre= sented himself on Saturday to purge his contu mace. His defence was successful ; he was therefore acquitted by the jury, and set at liberty fprthwithr—.French ,Paper. that it was likely ti t ' S6tre punishment Would shorten the ter:,;, of his existence: The f,lefend a nt himself then said that thi s was th e ~ • only prosetution ever brought against hint. Mr. BRouGWUI, in aggravation said, that instead of deserting his client, his Learned: Friend had acted for him with the most admirable discretion, in not having att em pt e d a pa lli at i on , f ar l ess a defence of his conduct. He (Mr. Th) felt it to be his duty, though a painful one, considering the defendant's situa tion, for• the sake of public justice, to call upon the Court to inflict an adequate punishment for the very heavy and serious charges which he ' had brought against the Marquis of Palmella ; charges which were not general and undefined, but specific, and which exposed him to be torn in pieces by an infuriated soldiery, three or four hundred thousand pounds of whose money he was alleged to have distributed between himself and two of his colleagues, neither of whom had ever been within cannon-shot of the place where the money was gained. The charges were in themselves most malignant—he had almost s aid ridiculous ; for, in 1824, the defendant alleged that' . the Marquis had received 'a part of the Money, whereas it was proved by the person who had the custody of the Bank of England, that not a shil ling of it had gone out of his hands fot upwards of a year afterwards. His Learned Friend had said, that the defendant had fled his country out of re gard for constitutional principles ; he (Mr. B.) would ask, what sort of constitution that would be which would sanction a malignant and false attack upon a highly respectable nobleman, . the Prime Minister of his country, which exposed him to the indignation of an infuriated soldiery, and to the scorn of every honest man, and which was calculated to disturb those relations of amity which now so happily subsisted between the two countries. _.. .. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, after a suitable address; sen tenced the defendant to be imprisoned in the Mar shalsea prison for one year, and to enter into recog•- nisances for his good behaviour for three years there after, hiMself in 4001. and two s ureties in 2001. each. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Barons GARROW, HULLOCK, and VAUGHAN, took their seats in Court this morning, but the paper of causes was called over, and no Counsel was ready in any of the causes. After waiting some time, the Court therefore rose without doing any business.— The LORD CHIEF BARON also sat in Equity in the Exchequer Chamber, and was engaged all the morn ing in a tythe question, of no interest but to the parties immediately concerned.

We regret to learn that on Saturday evening last, a melancholy accident occurred at St. Jolm's College, Oxford. H. PERKINS, Esq., Gentleman Commoner of New College, son of the eminent brewer, was leaving an evening par ty, and as he was passing down the steps, his foot slipped, and he fell to the bottom ; his ivas dislocated by t h e f a ll, an d h e di e d a few neck hours afterwards. Hi s f at h er h a d yester d ay n e e the melancholy duty of removing the corpse to London. What renders the circumstance more peculiarly melancholy, is the fact, that the whole family had taken apartments in the town, and were on the point of setting out for Oxford when the intelligence was communicated to them. A shocking circumstance occurred at Southern Hill, near Reading, on Sunday - evening. A la bouring man and his wife went out, leaving two children in bed, having locked the door. The neighbours were soon after alarmed by the screams of the children, and one of them having entered the house by the window, found 'that the children were attacked by a ferret that had escaped from his c onfinement, and found its way up stairs: The younger child is dreadfully mangled, in the face, and it is feared will lase the sight of one eye.

We perceive, by the number received this morning, that that intelligent and. well-conducted Journal, the Pottery Mercury, will in future be published on Saturday instead of Wednesday. This alteration is made to accommodate its subscribers. The Editor says— " Our next number will be issued on Saturday, the 7th of July. We think it unnecessary to say more, than that this change in the day of publication is made solely to meet the wish of a majority of our Subscribers, who have long expressed an opinion that the Mercury would be of much greater public utility were it published on Saturday. The increasing patronage which our Journal continues to receive, shall prompt us to. spare neither trouble nor ex pence in our endeavours to make it a complete and useful compendium of the News of the Week.

Maldonia jumped off with the lead, the others lying in a crowd about two lengths behind, with the Doctor and El Dorado a-head of them. The filly kept her lead to the hill in their way back, when Jocko, the Doctor, El Dorado, and Paul Pry got up to her, and a remarkably severe race en sued, in which El Dorado was victorious, as he contrived to win by nearly half a length. The other four last-named came in so close, that the Judge could not place a second, hut we believe it was Maldonia, Doctor Faustus and Jocko next, and Paul Pry fifth.

DAWES, Acct. Gen A PRECIOUS ACRE. (From the World, a new Weekly. Paper.) " Such is the increased value of land at hard, occa sioned by the introduction of lace manufactories, and the consequent necessity of providing for a greatly-enlarged population, that a field, in the immediate vicinity of the town, has been recently disposed of in portions, at the rate of 9001. an acre !" It is only a very short time since the Land owners of Somersetshire looked, with very jealous eyes on the establishment of these manufactories. Probably, they now perceive, that an increased po pulation, every portion of which is enabled to earn more than it has occasion to consume, must be a source of wealth to the owners of the soil; and there are really no bounds to the increase of their revenues, if they would leave the energies of the people to work freely. The misfortune is, not when manufactories are esta blished amongst an unemployed population, but when the trade of the country fails and they arc abandoned. The failure of trade is not so much oc casioned by natural as artificial causes. It is a sel fish interference on the part of men, who are utterly ignorant of practical affairs, with that which, if they understood at all, they would encourage to the very utmost of their power ; rather than a cessation of wants, or tike desire of gratification, on the part of the people, that checks the progress of manufactures and commerce. There is a direct cause for the increase and success of manufactories in certain places, and that is the increased skilldisplayed by workmen who have been properly educated, and taught to recline on their own energies for support. An independent and well-cultivated spirit will ex pand its operations, in proportion to its wants. If the landowners knew their true interest, they would well educate the people, break up habits of degrad ing,dependance amongst them, put down all mono polies, and open communications from place to place by good roads, navigable canals, and safe harbours. They would admit men of honesty aid talent into close corporations, and abolish those absurd regula tions, by which the people are taxed much more vexatiously than for the support of the Government of the country. Yesterday Henry Ladbroke, Esq. citizen and grocer, paid a fine of 6001. and 20 marks, to be discharged from his election as one of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, for the ye ar ensuing, to which h e was e l ec t e d by th e Li very on Monday last. On the 14th of the present month the'village Of Goncelin, near Grenoble, was almost totally destroyed by a thunder-storm and the bursting of an immense water spout., About 40 houses were swept away by the deluge. The number of lives lost is not yet known, but 25 dead bodies were collected on the day after the disaster. All the property in the lower part of the houses which withstood the shock has been destroyed. Our readers will recollect, that on the 4th of June we noticed the death of Mr. , Patrick Kir wan, of Knockdoe, in the County of Galway, son of the late Major Andrew Kirwan. Mr. KirWan was interred at the cemetery at Forthill, Galway, in the family vault, on the 31st of May, and for some days after his death a rumour spread abroad that he was poisoned. We did not, however, pay any attention to this, but, we . believe, a few days ago there were such informa tions lodged before his Grace of Tuam, a Ma gistrate of the County, as induced his Grace to . investigate the mysterious affair, and to examine witnesses. The consequence was, that his Grace ordered the body to be disinterred and opened,. which was accordingly done at half-past four o'clock on the morning of Thursday, after hay-' ing been in the vault thirteen days. IVlessrs. O'Maley and Grey, two medical gentlemen of this town, were employed to examine the corpse, which they opened, and took away with them, the stomach of the deceased. They have hot as yet, nor will they for a few days more' be en-j abled to come to a decision. In the meantime 4 we forbear (for reasons.which the public will ap preciate) from going further into the disagreeabld, details which are agat, but it is said that one pf the 'parties suspected has absconded.— Con-1 naught Journal: • . JOURNALS. SPIRIT OF TH L PUBLIC The re-establishment of the, 'Censorship in France appears to us to be a ineaire at once the most . uncalled for and impolitic tfizt could have been adopted by the rulers of an inteUlgent and spirited people. It proclaims to the wo:ld what it was the obvious and paramount interesf of the Government to conceal--4hat the House of Bourbon feels conscious of having lost at the same time the esteem and affections of its sub jects. Had it retained either, a sufficient gua rantee existed against evil arising from the free dom of the press ; for the press would have seen forced, for its own sake, to appeal to the judg ment of the nation, or to its passions. The de fensive powers of truth and generosity are, when wielded with equal zeal, beyond all comparison stronger than the weapons of malignity and false hood. But what do the French Ministers with to effect, or fancy that they can effect, by this condemnation of the organs of opinion to inacti vity ? They debar men from making known their sentiments through a certain channel ; but do they kill the sentiments themselves ? Will the passions of men be composed or infuriated, by violence exercised against them—more espe cially by that description of violence which is in itself an acknowledgment of terror ? If men are forbidden to speak their minds openly, will they be satisfied not to speak at all? No ; they will give indulgence privately to impulses which would have spent their force on the wide surface of an untrammelled, and therefore unheeding, population. They would have addressed the world at large for the love of pause—for a livelihood—for the public benefit—for a thousand objects,all ranging within the peace of society and :be security of the State. What will they do now ? They will brood over the captivity of their spirit—they speak in secret with those who, actuated like themsei;'cs by a sense of humiliation and a thirst for vengeance, may help them to strike, instead of only speaking. There is no doubt that a spirit of strong dislike to wards the Royal Family and the priestly power ha; for some time been spreading itself throughout France. Will a forcible attempt to put down this spirit have a tendency to destroy or to foment it ? We know what. the result would be, if the question related to English resolution and character ; but for the French people—who have felt and borne patiently some kicks in their time—it might not be discreet to answer.—Tinies. l ev P . al E uP d i w il i e i t i has An b e e e x n t r e 'latelym ely interesting published e as Jacob, entitled,, " A Clergyman's Address to English Protestants, on their duties towards their fellow-countrymen of the Church of Rome." We never read a more gratifying specimen of the mild, conciliatory, and charitable spirit by which all addresses from an English clergyman to his country, on political questions, ought to be distinguished, than is here displayed by Mr. Jacob. His allowances for many of the super stitions which have been higrafted by the priest hood on the earlier faith of the Church of Rome, but which are traced by the candid mind of the author to an origin in some of the sweetest and most admirable of the human affections, will, we trust, not be read without"edification by the more zealous of our Protestant partizans. Mr. Jacob la bours to recommend the cause of religious liberty on behalf of his Catholic fellow-citizens--a pious and reasonable object, for which he has our hearty prayers for the most complete success ; and if he outstrips us in . his eagerness for a serious prosecu tion of the means by which it is presumed that converts can best be. gained from the Church of Rome, we at least respect his manifest integrity, although some doubts may occur to us as to time policy on which his arguments have turned.--Thicl. _ The new entrance gates to Hyde-park, at the end of Piccadilly, are now open for carriages, and visible in all their proportions. Considering how long the public had heard of plans and models for a grand triumphal arch in that direc tion, to form an entrance, not into Hyde-park, but into London itself, we felt no - slight disap pointment at seeing, soon after the commence inent of this work, that the thing was not to correspond with the magnificent epithets which had been applied to it, inasmuch as it could not, from its position, form any part of the great western avenue to the metropolis; nor, from the principle of its construction,' could it have any thing to do with grandeur. The whole of the architecture exhibited in this building has cer tainly an air of lightness, neatness, and pretti ness; the ornaments are in holyday fashion and the execution seems accurate and finished : but that is the most that we can say for it. The parts are too much broken—the divisions are too minute and effeminate—the tout ensemble is that of au airy and pretty Screen-work, giving admis sion to the park of a private gentleman, and ap parently modelled by the delicate but fragile taste of the lady of the manor. What would have been at once more appropriate and striking, was a simple arch, of lofty elevation, the crown of it from forty to fifty feet high, thrown across the end of Piccadilly, a little to the westward of Apsley-house. Had this suggestion been adopted, and had the architect relied for the success of his undertaking rather on the nobleness and majesty of outline, with a corresponding bold ness of accessory ornament, than on the high finish and petty beauties of detail, all Europe might have been searched in vain for a site more fitted for the erection of a vigorous and imposing work,—a mag nificent porch to the metropolis of England,--than that which the nature of the ground at Hyde-park corner, with Piccadilly in front, and the Green-park, with Westminster and its Abbey in distance, on the right, presented to the eye of a stranger entering London by the great western avenue. A mind for grandeur, not for elegance, was what ought to have presidedover the " Board of Taste" on this occasion. They have given us, nevertheless, an agreeable trifle in architecture, contrasting favourably (that, per haps, was the design) with the County Lazar-house over the way, through which his Majesty's guests cud acquaintances must, it seems, approach, through the Royal gardens, to the gate of Buckingham Lord Eldon observed in the debate on the Dissenters' Marriage Bill,. " that he should be exceedingly glad to get a definition of an Uni tarian. The sole reason which led him (Lord Eldon) to ask the question—and if their Lord ships should go into a Committee he should ask it again—was, that it might be recorded upon the face of the till what an Unitarian was." The observation of his Lordship is well deserv ing of attention. The Reformation began with a claim to the right of free inquiry; and it was expressly stated by the most learned and acute of the men to whom we are indebted for the blessing of the Reformation, Melancthon, that " articles 'of faith must be often changed, and be calculated for times and circumstances." That Protestants have frequently availed themselves of this privilege, and it may with truth be observed, that not only the Protestants have not only been constantly changing their principles, so that there are very few points of resemblance by those of the times of Luther and Melancthon, and those of the present day ; but .that the opinions of every particular denomination of Protestants have also been constantly changing. The words Lu theran and Calvinist convey no meaning in the present day, for there are hardly" any men who ~~....
