D EATII OF PRINCIPAL CUNNINGITA3I.—The Free
Church of Scotland have sustained a serious loss in the death
of Dr. William Cunningham, Principil of the New College,
Edinburgh, which took place early on S tturday morning,
after an illness of ten days, terminating in pleurisy. Dr.
Cunningham was recognized as ono of the leaders of the
great ecclesiastical secession from the Sc deli establishment
in 1813, having taken a prominent part in the conflicts of
debate in the Church Courts that preceded that event. After
the "disruption," as it was called, Dr. Cunningham, who
hal previously been minister of Trinity College Church,
Edinburgh, was appointed Professor of Church Ilistory and
Divinity in the now College then instituted, and in 1817, on
the death of Dr. Chalmers, he was chosen to fill the office of
Principal. The deceased clergyman has long been regarded
as one of the ablest theologians in Scotland. Ho was a most
stanch defender of the Calvanistic divinity, and admittedly
possessed great logical r, ewer and critical acumen. His
speeches possessed a sort of stern, argumenattive force that
had the effect of eloquence upon the hearer, and it was diffi-
cult to say whether they were more impressive or convincing.
His last great effort on the platform was a speech at Edin-
burgh about a year ago on the Cardross case, which was
generally regarded as the most lucid exposition and able de•
fence of tho views now maintained by the Free Church in
opposition to the Civil Courts on the question of ecclesias-
tical discipline. Dr. Cunningham, who was a native of
Berwickshire, died in his 56th year. About two years ago
on shoWing indications of failing health, some friends pro •
posed to unite in subscribing to a testimonial of personal
esteem for him, and in a few days the sum of £7,000 was
raised for that purpose. The rev, doctor was chosen Mode-
rator of the Free Church in 1859.
