    Unitarian Baptists in the City of York . Sir , WE beg leave through the medium of your valuable Miscellany to lay before our Unitarian brethren the case of the Unitarian Baptists in the city of York , confident of their disposition to assist us in the laudable

    undertaking of propagating primitive Christianity , and removing those misconceptions which originated in the dark ages of heathen and popish superstition . We have laboured upwards of thirty year ' s , under considerable disadvantage , in this great cause for want of suitable accomodation and

    a central situation ; we have at length met with the object of our wishes . A chapel in the centre of York now occupied by the Independents was to be disposed'of by public auction ' ; we made an offer for it , the consequence was it became ours for the sum of

    three hundred pounds , one hundred of which was paid on the 2 nd February last as a deposit , which we borrowed upon interest , the remaining two hundred pounds are to be paid on the 2 nd November next , at which

    time possession will be g iven . The chapel is well fitted up with pews and gallery , and will seat upwards of four hundred ^ people . The sum we are able to raise amongst our own friends is sixty pounds ; we hope our Unitarian brethren will not tnink the sum

    too sirtatll , considering our pecuniary circumstances , as we are all labouring people , 36 that with the sum of sixty pounds already &ut > scribedj arid twenty Winds tvhich the Committee of the Jftitarian Fund has beeu pleased , to > estriw typon us , making a total of ei 8 hty pounds , there will remain a <* ebt of two hundred arid twenty pouads upon the chapel , tywules other accessary expences incident to the Jwchaae of suoh property ; this debt w ul be felt by us as a grftat incutn-^^^^*^^ W » M— - —~—_ .

    Sir , June * 25 , 181 $ . AT the late meeting of the ffiendfc to the Unitarian Academy I understood with much satisfaction that the provision for . communicating clas r sicaf knowledge to the students wass likely to be extended . 1 hope these

    students when they become ministers will attend to a duty now much rie * gtected , and occupy that talent by which they may be distinguished from the unlearned . The latter respectable and highly useful class of Christian teachers would well employ any leisure they could command , in comparing tjifieijent English translations , and thus
