RELIGIOUS . UNITARIAN FUND . —/ The subscribers and friends to this institution will rejoice to hear that the Half-yearly General Meeting , which was holden on Wednesday the z ^ th instant , was in the highest degree respectable and pleasing . It is a day that will long be remembered
with satisfaction by all present . The glow of pleasure which animated ail their heart * , and appeared in their countenances , can be , however , but imperfectly conceived by such as only read or hear the account of the meeting . The religious service of the day ( carried on at the chapel in Parliament-Court ,
Bishopsgate , JLondon ) was well attended , though numbers were prevented joining in it by the extreme unfavourableness oi the weather , and nothing but the zeal of the auditory could have induced them to break through this inconvenience . The
Rev . R . AspLand pronounced the general prayer ; the Rev . Dr . Toulmin preached the sermon and delivered the concluding prayer . The sermon , founded on Matthew kL 35 , was peculiarly suitable to the occasion . It was
rational and persuasive ; and breathed a spirit of boldness and zeal , of conciliation and candour , truly exemplary , and infused the same spirit into the audience More than this our limits will not permit us to say of it ; and more , we are bappy to say , it is unnecessary to state .,
as the warm approbation © f the auditory led them , as by one impulse , to propose and to subscribe liberally to its being printed . Before the congregation was dismissed , the Rev . R . Aspland read from the pulpit the second Report ofthe Committie . which was of considerable
length , an . d embraced much important information , it was esteemed on all sides satisfactory and encouraging . The seciety voted its being put to the press . A large number of copies will be printed , and one copy will be annexed to / each copy of thje discourse . It will be given to the public in a few weeks * and ,

as the names of the subscribers will be printed with it , it is earnestly requested that such friends to the institution as intend to become subscribers the ensuing year , will send in their names to the Treasurer , or Secretary , en * any of the members of the committee , that they may duly appear in the list . The busi «
ness of the society was conducted in the chapel , John Christie , Esq . ia the chair . The following persons - "were chosen into oSice for the next year , viz . Treasurer , Joseph Holden , Esq . ; Secretary , Rev . R . Aspland ; Committee , Ebenezer Johnston , Esq , John Chatfield , Esq .
Rev . John Evans , John Christie , Esq . Mr . W . Titford , Mr . J . Sovrerby , Mr , David Eaton ; Auditors , J . T . Rutt , Esq . D . W . Harvey , Esq . From the chapel the society adjourned to the King * s Head Tavern , in the Poultry , where the friends and subscribers to the Fund
dined together . An experiment "was made by the stewards whether a dinner on an economical plan would not suffice to draw together , to unite and to satisfy a respectable company ; it has happily succeeded . The company ori this occasion was very respectable , and every individual expressed not only satisfaction , but pleasure in the arrangement of the stewards . About seventy
persons were present at the dinner , among whom we noticed Messrs . E . Johnston , Run , Wainewright , Bentley , Holden , Chribtie * Young , Sowerby , Titford , Chat&eld , JLanfear , Freemaa , Harvey , Knight , &c . &c . &c . and the following ministers , viz . Dr .

Rutt , Esq . was called to the chair , through whose excellent management , aided by the feelings of the company , the meeting was decorous , pleasant , and ( what can seldom be said of public dinners ) CJtrf * - tian * The fcoa ^ ts , the speeches , the coa *
