    the contrary we perceive the greatest activity , although ina very secret And unostentatious manner , displayed by the body * For example , they have printed for the use of their own denomination , a record of their achievements during the past year , and what these have been we need not remind

    our readers .- ^ JWe , se 0 ^ also ~ a ~ manifesttation of their zeal in circulating the most insidious publications of a minor description all over the country . In aid of their cause , they are availing themselves of the assistance of Transatlantic Socinians *

    'It has been observed that the writings of such men as Channing have lately begun to swarm over the country , and in particular there is one publication of that gifted but antichristian writer , which is calculated to produce the most fatal results among the ignorant and ill instructed .

    * In the last number of the Presbyterian Review , it is Said , that this treatise , entitled , * ' Objections to Trinitarian Christianity considered , " has been stereotyped and published in _ immense numbers , in a neat and even elegant form , for the small sum of "four-pence . " It is added , " written expressly with the object of entrapping and gaining over the unwary ,

    distinguished by no less plausibility than uncandid and artful misrepresentations ; it is without doubt one of the most formidable Socinian statements which have appeared . "

    ' Our Presbyterian . mends in the North , where Socinians never found much favour , do not seem to share the same confidence about the decline of that heresy , which is published b y the Ministers of the Three Denominations , for they again remark , " Any one who reflects for a moment on the pernicious consequences of the

    diffusion of Socinianism to the moral condition of mankind , will duly appreciate the importance of arresting the progress of so terrible a scourge . * 4 So far from , considering Socinianism on the decline , we fear that , in an altered form , it is eating like a canker in the Church ..

    r ' It is true we do not perhaps find among those who have a regard fpr decency * such revolting language as that which abounds in the writings of Priestley * Belsham , and the rest pf their school . We do not find many who stand forth like Jefferson , whose " good sense " is extolled by the

    ^^ estrriinsUr ^ Revkw . ^ axid ^ imfiouisl ^ denounce the Apostles as a " band of dupes and impostors with their coryphaeus Paul . " Such blasphemies are reserved for more private opportunities . But we are sorry to see a neologian leaven stealing into places where we should least expect to find it , and even intermingled with what is really good . We are happy to observe , in the last number of the

    Christian Observer , some articles exposing works in which this leaven is contained , but we shall shortly be compelled to notice panegyrics upon the same publications abounding in such errors , proceeding from quarters where this might not have been anticipated . '

    We insert the following from the ' Christian Reformer / because it contains a correction of an error as to the place of Mr . Browne's death , and some additional particulars concerning him . ' Jan . 13 , died suddenly in one of the public offices of th / Bank of England , the Rev . Stephen Weaver Browne , B . A . He was a native of Norwich , was educated for the Church

    of England , took orders and oihciated for some time as curate at Harleston .

At the peace of Amiens he went over to France , where he continued to reside till the general peace . On his return to England he became temporary minister of the Unitarian congregation at Newport in the Isle of Wight j he next became one of the ministers of the Old Meeting ,
