January 26- At Myniddbach , in the county of Carmarthen , Mr . JO HN SYMON , in the 34 th year of his life , Unitarian Baptist minister of Zoar , leaving behind him an aged afflicted mother , and a destitute congrega * tion * as chief mourners for his loss . He
was a modest , serious young man , of pure and blameless conversation . His inquiries after truth , led him to embrace the simple doctrine of the divine Unity 5 . as it is clearly taught in the Bible , consequently wholly to renounce all the modifications of a Trinity , whether Athanasian * Arian * or $ abellian ~
The influence of a religious friend for sbme time embarrassed his mirid , and this , I believe , has often been the case in similar circumstances , where an opinion of character has been high ; but afterward , he saw the weakness of his conduct in that part of it , and lamented over it , that he should be tempted for a moment to hesitate between the voice
of Gody and that of man ! His health had been declining for some time prier to his dissolution ; but he continued his labours to the end of his life . For on the Lord ' s day before his dissolution he delivered an excellent discourse to young people ! His last views of the Christian religion , were higlily satisfactory and consoling to his own mind , and the recollection of his sincere endeavours to

The common doctrine of satisfaction , or the purchasing the favour of God , by * satisfying the claims of his justice in a /?« - mited or extensive sense , by the death of Jesus Christ , before God tuouldov could forgive any sinner , he considered as one
of the corruptions of Christianity , as having no foundation in scripture , as changing the object of worship , and destroying the doctrine of salvation by the free favour and mercy of God to penitent sinners , which is uniformly taught in the scriptures ! These were his views of religion , and they were full of consolation to him . in death . His
funeral was attended by nine ministers , and a concourse of people , and his funeral sermon was preached by his friend Mr . Thomas , of l > langyndeyrn . February 14 . The Rev . JOSEPH BARBER , pastor of the Independent
Church , London Wall , for some time co-pastor with the late Mr . Towle , aged 84 years . He had been 60 years in the ministry . He published a volume of sermons on Regeneration , which have lately come to a second edition .
