DOMESTIC ? . Religious . Unitarian Chapel , Brighton . Hove- Housej near Brighton ^ Sir , Oct . 16 , 1810 .
Permit me to avail myself of the opportunity of your Repository , to acquaint your readers , that the design of erecting * a more commodious and spacious Unitarian chape ! at Brighton , to which you have often invited their attention , as one of
great importance , is now carrying into effect . The first stone vras laid , on the 15 th instant , and it is contracted , that the place shall be covered in before Christmas , In the progress of the ensuing spring * it will be completed , and it will be opened for public worship before our next season .
The exertions which , hare been made in Brighton and its vicinity , together with the very liberal contributions of friends in London , and in more distant parts , have already raised the subscription to nearly £ 1200 . The plan of the building is simple , and not inelegant , and it is hoped that it
will not be thought costly for the dimensions , ( forty feet by fifty , ) when it is known that the expense is limited by contract to £ 1800 . nearly . The spot of ground on which the chapel will stand , cost not quite £ 700 ., the value of ground in eligible situations in Brighton being- greater than in most other places . It will consequently
be necessary to raise rather more than another £ 1200 . before the place will be free from debt . This , of course , cannot be accomplished immediately ; but it is hoped that those of our friends who think with us on the utility of the design , and those especially who , as visitors in Brighton , have felt the want of such an
accommodation as the present building- will afford to themselves and their families , will aid us by their contributions in the gradual reduction of the debt . Donations have been received from Fellowship Fund Societies at Birmingham and Leicester . Shall I be thought officious if I suggest , that
supposing a mortgage to be left upon the place equal to > the price of the land , by receiving and funding tin annual donation of ten pounds from ten Fellowship Fund Societies , we shall be able to discharge the incumbrance in less than five yeutm . JOHN MORELL .

siding at Gainsborough , Hull , Tborne , Lincoln and Doncaster , was held at Hull , on Wednesday evening , the 29 th , and Thursday , the 30 th of September , 1819 . Considerable benefit was found to have arisen from the publication of the tex t * intended to be preached from , which were
posted en the walls , and inserted in the newspapers . Mr . Turner , of York , preached on Wednesday evening * from John v . 09 , ii Search the Scriptures ; " when a very large and attentive congregation was assembled . Mr . Hutton , of Leeds , preached on Thursday morning * from Mark xiii . 32 , " But of that dav and that hour kcoweth
no man ; no not the angels which are in heaven , neither the Son , but the Father . " Tlie annunciation of Mr , Hutton ' s intention of preaching from this teTit 9 had excited both curiosity and alarm in the town . The minister of \ a Nourishing Independent congregation had preached from the same text * on the Sunday intervening- between
the appearance of the advertisement and the holding * of the meeting : and the Methodist pulpit had been employed in serious warnings to the young * , against the seducing doctrines which were about to be delivered , accompanied witb a recommendation , instead of going * to hear them , to stay at home * and read Mr , Wardlaw s book . It
happened very fortunately , that Mr . Hutton particularly noticed , and ably refuted Mr . Wardlaw ^ s ingenious solution of the difficulty which this text presents to Trinitarians—that the Son was ig-norant of the day of judgment in his $ 4 official capacity , or by divine communication ! " So far from u staying at home , " several members of
the orthodox congregations , and even jour Trinitarian preachers were present at the delivery of the discourse : After the business of the society had been transacted , forty-five persons dined together . Mr . Lee , the chairman , made some forcible remarks on the animating * prospects of the
society , particularly on the alarm wliich their proceeding's had excited in the minds of the supporters of the orthodox system , which , he said , proved that they did not feel much confidence in the strength of their arguments , or the trnth of their system . The language of persons persuaded that they maintained nothing inconsistent
with the plain declarations of Scripture , would not have been , stay at home hear and rend only on one side of the question l 9 > y but u listen with attention to what both parties have to offer , and truth will be the gainerS * Dr . Alderson , in proposing the health of Wm . Smith , E « q , M .
