    difficulties . It * order that these weighty impediments to the progress of Unitarian ism may be removed , the Supreme Consistory has of late years urged the faithful Unitarians to raise a general fund ; but the results of a spontaneous subscription have beeu consumed in

    part by previous expenses , and in part by the repair of the church at Clausenberg , which was falling into ruins . From ancient times many of the Unitarians have been employed in literary exercises , especially during the 16 th and 17 th centuries . Of modern

    literary men , who are occupying themselves with praiseworthy zeal , I may mention the following : in theology and pastoral eloquence , John Kormozi , John Fuzi , David Molnos , Samuel Srabo , Kis , Sardi . In the public and penal law , Samuel Sala , Joseph Filep , John Srolga , John Merei , Stephen Kovars , Siko ,

    Beds , Gyergyai . In history , David Molnos , who has translated the works of Thucydides into Hungarian . In philosophy , John Fuzi . In poetry and belles lettres , Alexander Srekely , Louis Kelanen , Joseph Fido , Francis Gyergyai , Samuel Srabo , Stephen Kovars , and Julianna Srabo . In music , Francis and Ladislaus Gyergyai , and Samuel

    Brassai . Having premised these things , it is very delightful to me to add two circumstances more ; and , first , that the more rational and erudite part of the Hungarian public lean , with a decided inclination , towards Unitarianism , and political circumstances alone prevent the greater part of Transylvania from

    professing publicly the Unitarian religion . The second circumstance is , that from the ten years since the English Unitarians first gave intelligence of their own existence to the Transylvanians , in consequence of their fraternal connexion , not a few of the Unitarian youths have begun to learn with zeal the English language , the history , the literature , and the manners of the

    English . Of the Unitarians especially , Louis Kelanen and Stephen Kovara have given the chief specimens of progress in learning the English language . Louis Kelaneu is already able to give lectures on the grammar of the English language , and now he intends to translate the works of Shakspeare into Hungarian . The minds of some have gone so far as to aim at the

    establishment of a chair of the English language in the college at Clausenberg , in order to facilitate mutual communication with

    the English . Unitarians ; but this plan must be for the present deferred for want of the funds necessary for the salary of the professor .

    Lady Hewley ' s Fund . Court of Chancery , Monday , Aug . 8 . ( From the Times . ) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V . SHORE . Sir Charles Wetherell and Mr . Booth appeared for the defendants in this writ to appeal agaiust a decision of the Vice-Chaiicellor , by which he had allowed several exceptions to the

    defendant ' s answer . In this case an information had been filed , on the suggestion of the commissioners for inquiring into charitable abuses , against the defendants , who were trustees of a charity endowed by Lady Hewley in 1704 . Her Ladyship , by her will , directed certain estates , now producing about 2000 / . per aunum , to be appropriated to the poor

    godlypreachers of Christ s holy gospel , and for the relief of poor godly widows ; and certain sums were to be given as exhibitions for young men who were studying divinity . The estates were vested in trustees , who were directed to fill up the vacancies which should from time to time

    occur in their body , by the choice of fit and proper persons ; but no particular qualification was specified with respect to their religious belief , though , from the language employed by Lady Hewley in her will , and from some of the regulations she had directed to be observed , there could be little doubt that she was

    a Calvinist , The commissioners had reported that the charity was in the hands of Unitarians ; that the Rev . Charles Wellbeloved , who received a stipend of 80 / . per annum , as sub-trustee , was a Unitarian ; that the persons who received the benefits of the charity were of the same denomination . ; and that some of the exhibitions were given to young mgi at Manchester College , York , which vraS a well-kuown Unitarian

    seminary . The bill prayed for a declaration that Unitarians were not eligible to the offices and benefits of the charity ; that Mr . Wellbeloved ' s salary should be discontinued ; aud that the charity should be duly administered uuder the direction of court , in compliance with the intention of the foundress . Interrogatories had been put in the bill to Mr . Wellbeloved and others , to inquire whether they were Unitarians * aud to ascertain how far the doctrines of that sect differed
