No body of men have it more completely 
in their power to produce originality, li- 
terary excellence,” early intelligence, and 
all the the other efferntials of a good newf- 
paper, than the United Rody of London

A Sytem of Education will thortly be

ginal, elucidating the principles and aéts

may be beft employed to improve and dig- 
nify human nature.

ot Geography, the defcriptions and cop- 
per-plates attending which have given an

young people, which it never before pof- 
feffed. It is inirodu€tory to the other, 
and is intended for the ule of the jumor

A new college is thortly to be erected 
at Cambridge, by the name of Downing 
College. The nature of the will of Sir 
George Downing, the long litigation be- 
tween the Lady of Sir Jacob Downing 
and the Univerfity, and, finally, the char- 
ter for the new college, that had the Great 
Seal affixed to it by Lord Chancellor 
Loughborough, Sept. 22, 1800, have been 
often detailed to the public. We fhall 
therefore only now add, that the time is 
certainly approaching, when the new col- 
lege will be built. The officers are ap- 
pointed, and the ground is meafured out 
on that part of the town called the Leys. 
It is expected, that the building will begin 
about the commencement. 
Thecontents of the Rev. JounHutss’s 
will, dated the aift of July, 1777, re- 
fpecting the donations to the Univer- 
fity of Cambridge, occupy much atten- 
tion there at prefent. Dafhculties, on all 
hands, prefented themfelves. The origi- 
nal will was bulky aad voluminous. With 
nine annexed codicils, it extends to a 
length of more than an bundred folio 
pages. It involved alfo a vait number of 
legacies, annuities, appointments, dona~ 
tions, direétions, and injunctions, which 
being all to be previoufly cleared off and 
fettled, prefented a moft formidable weight 
of employment. The following are the 
donaticns to the Univerfity, all of which, 
after the lapfe of the annuities, will doubt- 
lels be beltowed agreeably to the bequeft 
of Mr. Hulfe:—A yearly revenue of about 
1 sol. for preaching and publithing twenty 
fermons, yearly, in vindication of the ge- 
neral authority and particular evidences 
of Chriftianity—-An annuity of nearly 
equal value to the former, for the efta~ 
blifhment of a writer, who is to publith a 
book every year, tending to the confirma~ 
tion of the do&trines, or the removal of 
fome difficulties in Chriftianity. The 
writer is to becalled I heChriftian Advocate.
