The excellent Mr . Job Orton ,

    speaking qF » his Anniversary of the Bartho loniew sufferers , in a letter to the Rev-Samuel Palmer , says- «< I persuaded some ministers whom I could be free with , when they preached this Lecture to keep in view the intention of it , and

    they dul so , much to the pleasure and edification of the hearers \ ' * The respectable gentleman to whom this was boserved , and who has scamped a permanent honour on his own name by being the memorialist of those worthies , in

    Ordination of the Rev * Henry Turrt € ry at Bradford * On Wednesday , Sept . 32 , a meeting of the associated ministers of the Presbyterian denomination in the West ; Riding of Yorkshire , with other frien <} 8 from a distance , was held at Bradford , for the purpose of recommending to the

    Divine blessing the connection recently entered into between the congregation . ( late under the pastoral care of the Rer John Dean , ) and Mr . Henry Tujo&er , late of the Manchester College , Yo ^ Ju The service was introduced by the Rev . Thomas Jervis , with an appropriate prayer , and the reading of tfie

    scriptures ; after which Joseph Dawson , ^ s ^« of Royds Hall , announced in the baifie of the congregation , the choice which they had lately made of Mr . Turner for their pastor , and , after having paid a handsome tribute to the memory of-his grandfather , and adverted to his descent from , and more or less remote

    connection with , other eminent ministers , . very delicately hinted at this among oliier motives , which should influence his young friend to a faithful discharge of the office which he had undertaken , As it appeared consistent with the strictest propriety , that a religious connection of this nature should commence vyith a

    public religious service , the congregation requested ,, on this occasion , the prayers and advices of their neighbouring friends : ia which request he did not doubt that their young minister most heartily coixcur ^ edf , but , as it Mfff » obvious , that they would comply with this request the more cordially , and

    unite in recommending him and his labours to the Divine blessing with great * er propriety , if they Were first acquainted with his views in entering on tbo Christian ministry , he trusted that he would not object , in signifying his concurrence , to explain these * -views ; without , however , by any means tying himself down to any particular set of

    religious opinions , but maintaining for himself , as f \ e exhorted him : always to do , that liberty wherewith Christ hath made all men tree . v f See Monthly Repository , Vol . hi . ( forx * o 6 f *) t / 4 ^
