    progress of genuine Christianity in different parts of out country , that in many of them he first proclaimed its truths , and there are scarcely any but have been the scene of his exertions and his triumphs in its cause . Mr . Martin ' s Journal of his first Mission to Cornwall has been laid before the Subscribers in the Unitarian Fund Register . It is alike gratifying-, as illustrative of his zeal and piety , of the good already effected , and of that which may be anticipated from the continuance of his labours in that district . It was originally the wish of the Committee that , on the conclusion of this

    mission , Mr . M . should have been placed for a time under the care of Mr . Gilcbrist , in the General Baptist Academy ; but the earnest and repeated solicitations for his return * to Cornwall ; the strong representations which were made by well-informed persons in the Western counties of the desirableness of his being , for the present , stationed there ; and the fact that

    subscriptions had been proffered by different congregations to an amount nearly sufficient to defray the expense of his continuing to itinerate for twelve months longer , have induced them to accede to that arrangement , the Fund being only responsible for any deficiency not exceeding ^ 20 in the subscriptions for that specific object . Mr . Martin left Trowbridge on the 25 th March ,

    and has been occupied at Flushing in forming the attendants on Unitarian worship into a regular society , setting on foot some useful plans for the circulation of Tracts , and making arrangement ? for preaching at Penryn and other places in the neighbourhood . Within the last fortnight he intended to commence his journeys to the more distant parts of the county . His

    operations will be much facilitated by the recent establishment at Exeter of the Devon and Cornwall Unitarian Missionary Society . The immediate direction of his mission has , at their request , and in conformity with Mr . Wright ' s suggestion , been resigned to the Committee of that Institution . Your Committee had much pleasure in voting the sum of £ \§ to Mr .

    Humphrey Bromley , a convert from Wesleian Methodism , by whom the Unitarian doctrine has been preached at Llanrhaiadr , in Denbighshire , North JP ales , and at a neighbouring village in Montgomeryshire . A correspondent , on whom perfect reliance may be placed , reported that " Mr .

    B . is of an unimpeachable moral character , and that he was respected as a man possessed of strong natural parts , and as a good argumentative preacher , while he continued among the Wesleians , when he was obliged to leave on account of his full conviction of the truth of the Unitarian doctrine . He

    worked with his father in the garden of Sir W . W . Wynne , till he lost that employment on becoming- a Wesleian preacher , and he has now , by the labour of his hands , to maintain a wife and four small children . As he has principally used to work in a garden , and lost his employment in that at Llangedwin , it is likely he will be obliged to leave that neighbourhood

    and seek a place where his labour may bring him more profit for the support of his family , unless he could be assisted by some distant friends . " The assistance granted him was understood to be sufficient for him , with that of the Unitarians in South Wales and private friends , to make trial , during twelve months , of the probability of forming an Unitarian congregation at Llanrhuiadr . which would be the first in North Wales .
