Warwickshire Unitarian Tract Society , Extract from the Minutes of the Committee . " Birmingham , Aug . 30 , 1815 . * ' Since it has pleased God , in the course of his providence , to remove the Rev . Dr . Touhnin from the world , the Committee of the Unitarian Tract Society , ' established in Birmingham , for Warwickshire , and the neighbouring counties , a \ ail themselves of the eariiest opportunity to express their sorrow at the event which has thus deprived them of . ? most faithful and kind associate , and to pay their humble tribute to t he niemory of one whom tliev had so much cause to revere and
love . In the formation of this Society , Dr . Toulmin had a principal share ; and through its earliest stages , having undertaken the office of Secretary , he gave to it much of his time and thoughts . Deriving from the doctrines which it recognises auO labours to disseminate , his own motives nnd consolations , and believing that in proportion to tluir prevalence , the virtue and the happiness of mankind will be advanced , he ever felt a cordial interest in its success ; and the flourishing condition to which it has attained is , in no small degree , owing to the exertions of his active mind , to his valuable writings , nor least of all to the purity and rectitude of his life , to the seriousness of his spirit , and to the unaffected kindness and candour of his heart .
" The Committee know not what better wish to frame for themselves and for their fellow-members , than that the example of a life devoted , like Dr . Toulmin s , to truth , to virtue , and to the best interests of mankind , may animate them to similar watchfulness and zeal ; so that , through divine grace , they may be inseparably united to him , in the mansions of everlasting joy , James IIkws Bramsby , Secretary /'

Queen Square -On Saturday week , a group of people appeared before the magistrates , some of whom called themselves Holy Apostles , for the purpose of exhibiting charges of violence agaiia > r another religious party , who were attracted to the house of a cobbler in Duck-lane , by the preaching of these people . It appears that a number of persons met twice or thrice a-week at the house of the chosen cobbler , for the purpose of receiving divine instructions . The person selected to perform the rites of
worship avowed himself to bean apostle delegated expressly tocouverr sinners . On Friday se ' nnight , this man became so vehement in his holy office as to disturb the neighbourhood , numbers of whom were attracted to the spot . A female devotee armed herself with a weapon and aided by some of the heavenly-minded attacked the populace . —The magistrate reprobated such congregations , and directed the officers to bring before him those whom they m it ? lit find engaged in such disgraceful speculations .
