societies , which are of incalculable service . The people are become' much better acquainted with the writings of Unitarians , and they are much more liberal than they were , respecting church discipline . A considerable number of persons of property attend their places , and are ready to subscribe to the
support of regular ministers , as soon as they can have them . At Glasgow there has . been a division , hut it will not be at all injurious I think to rhe cause . The people there who have left the old place , were looking out for ground to build a place of worship on , when I left them , and there is no doubt but there will be

Asylum for Deaf and Dumb Children . The half-yearly General Meeting was held on Monday , the 14 th instant , at the City of JLondon Tavern , to elect twenty children out of a list of candidates consisting of seventy-eight- Among these are children of eighteen families , each of which have several under the same calamity .
