condescended to meet his last wish , and permitted him to arrive at Montpellier , to close his eyes among bis particular friends , and in the bosom of his family . Above all , the consolations of the gospel supported his soul , and gave a beauty and dignity to a death most sincerely and profoundly lamented . His friend M .
Lissignol , oae of the pastors of Montpellier , delivered an impressive discourse over his grave . Dr . Encontre has left only one son , but he is in every respect worthy of such a parent ; and only the day after his father ' s death , he received notice of his appointment as Professor of Greek in the Faculty from which his father had been removed .

DOMESTIC . Religious . Manchester . Quarterly Meeting of Presbyterian Ministers . On the 9 th hist , was held at Stand , near this town , the Quarterly Meeting * of Ministers , denominated Presbyterian , a little
out of the regular course , on occasion of opening- the new Unitarian Chapel in that place , which the congregation have erected with laudable zeal and liberality at their own expense . The Rev . John
Smethurst introduced the service , and the Ilev . J . G . Robberds preached the sermon from 2 Cor . ii . 17 . The meeting" must have been highly gratifying * to the members of the Congregation , as well as to the numerous friends who attended from
a distance . The Chapel is " a neat and substantial building , capable of conveniently seating about four hundred hearers . It was quite filled on the occasion . The ministers and their friends , after the service , dined
together at an inn in the neighbourhood , to the number of nearly fifty , and spent the afternoon in a manner highly gratifying to their feelings , and , it is hoped , infproving to their Christian , zeal and efforts . The health of Mr . Dean and the members of his congregation , and thanks to the

and useful man . After his persevering travels for the distribution of the Holy Scriptures in Egypt , Palestine and Syria , he had scarcely arrived at Aleppo , when a fatal fever , then raging in the neighbourhood , put an end to his most valuable life- He left Malta in a Greek vessel , with six large cases of Bibles and Testaments in
various languages , without any of those fears which had deterred others , and courageously distributed them in Alexandria , where he openly conversed with peasants , strangers and merchants , and where so many seamen applied to him , that he said , ** the Greek Testaments he had dispersed would only be like so many drops thrown
into the sea - so great was the demand for the word of God . He thence departed for Grand Cairo , where Jews , Turks , Syrians , Copts , Christians and Pagans , visited him ^ and where he could have dispersed a far greater nunVber of copies , if he had possessed them . From Cairo he went to
Jerusalem , where he visited all the convents and public places , and furnished them every where with , the word of God . Leaving Jerusalem , going by Syria , and visiting the places on his road , he came to the great commercial city of Aleppo , in the neighbourhood of which the fever attacked him and closed his life and labours .

two gentlemen who officiated in the morning , were proposed in such a manner as clearly evinced the high sense which the Meeting entertained of their claims to their approbation and thanks . In the interval of pulling down the old chapel and building- the new one , divine service was performed once every Lord ' s day in
the Stand free-school , by the kind permission of the Rev . R . Smethurst ; and ii was stated ^ as an act of Christian liberality worthy to be recorded , and indicative of the increasing candour of the age , that the use of the New Jerusalem Chapel , in the neighbourhood , was spontaneously offered to our friends until their own should
be finished . Of this offer , though circumstances rendered the acceptance unnecessary , yet they retain a due sense of the Christian spirit and unsolicited kindness of their brethren of the New Jerusalem Church .
The grateful and Useful impressions made this day on the minds of many who attended will not soon be obliterated . May our Unitarian brethren ever feel the full force of every motive still further to advocate and promote the cause of Christian truth and morality . Manchester , April 12 , 1819 . W .
