numbers of them , a , nd with their ministers , -, a resolution was passed constituting this meeting the first of a series of annual ones , which will , in future years , be held on Good Fridayi many of those desirous of attending , not being able to give any other day to the purpose .
The whole meeting then adjourned to another ~ roottv-an d-held-th e ^ Annual Meeting of the Fellowship Fund . I hail this meeting as one which promises , for the future , better days to this most valuable institution . The attendance was larger than it has been for years ; Very considerable interest was manifested by all ; the names of several new subscribers were received :
and , as the annual meeting will , m all probability , be held , in future years , on Good Friday , in conjunction with pur tea meeting , I eannot think . myself too sanguine in hoping that we shall witness no diminution , but rather a steady increase , of the rising zeal of our congregation .
I cannot conclude , without expressing ; in common I am sure with . all who were present , my warm gratitude to our beloved pastor , for his indefatigable exertions in rendering the Fellowship Fund Meetings ( and , indeed , all in which he is concerned ) so
interesting and instructive as they so frequently are ,- ~ -eminently so on the present occasipn . Dr . Carpenter does indeed prove himself our true friend * I had almost said father ; and if ever this should meet his eye , let him assure himself , that those most affectionate admonitions wliich he
addressed to the younger members of his congregation especially , ( and with which he closed the proceedings of our ever memorable ' Fast-day /) will never be effaced from their grateful hearts . That God may suffer ^ hini to live to know that * His labour has not been in vain in tlie Lord , ' will ever be our ardent prayer . E . C . H .

issued , supports a ' Girls' Daily School , a ¦ Sunday School for Girls , a ' Sunday School for Boys / an * Infant ' and an * Intermediate' School , comprising all together about 300 children .
From the report , we learn that no boy in attendance on the Sunday School was concerned in the disastrous events of the 30 th of October . During the same-eventsrtheteachers-of-the ™ Infant and Intermediate Schools remained
quietly at their posts , requested the parents to leave their children with them during the whole of Monday , and engaged to devote their time entirely to them . The offer was in some cases accepted , and only two instances have occurred of the parents of any of these children being implicated in the disgraceful transactions ; and in one of these the man was in
no wise blameable . Connected with the Infant School is a Dispensary , which now extends its usefulness through all the schools and the families of the children
belonging to them . From sixteen to twenty sick receive advice and assistance each week . The Sunday School is in a flourishing condition , and from sixty to eighty books are given out every Sunday .

Infant Schools in Sunday School Rooms . "We mentioned , in our report of the last anniversary of the Unitarian meeting-house , Green Gate , Salford , Manchester , that Mr . Thomas Potter
had offered to guarantee the existence , in the Sunday school room of the society , of an infant school . Encouraged by this munificence , which was immediately followed up by a subscription of 201 . per annum from Mr . T . Potter and his family , accompanied by an
assurance that all dejiciencjes , should be supplied , the minister began to solicit his friends , and take other plans necessary to effect the contemplated object . ' His success exceeded his expectations . The school is opened , contains 136 scholars , and gives every promise of ample usefulness , We
