    and great changes in the religious views of its members . It has never altered its name , and perhaps on some accounts it may be better th ^ t it should preserve its original appellation . That appellation , however , it must be

    confessed , but very imperfectly delineates the real complexion erf the gaeeting , the members of which are nearly all professedly Unitarians , as the term has been explained by I > r . Priestley . The meeting appeared to afford peculiar satisfaction to every one present :

    the cause of truth and religion was . the predominant impression upon the mind , and it was accompanied with every kind and good-tempered feeling of J , ne heart . If there are times when it may be said that " righteousness and peace have kissed each other , " the present would seem to have been an

    occasion when a salutation of # similar narture had taken place ; for piety , f r iendliness , and cheerfulness , appeared to have met in very pleasing union . The religious services of the day were conducted b y the Rev . Jeremiah : Donoujghue , of Lidget > and the Re / . John Glooch Robberds , of Manchester , the former taking the devotional pan , the latter the Sermon . The woras of

    the discourse were from John xiv . 15 . "If ye love me , keep my commandments . " Nothing could be more into * resting , irnpressive , and improving than this discourse : the style of its

    composition was , simple , elegant , manljr , and forcible ; , tnq manner erf the preacher solemn ., zmd impressive ? It has sometimes JSeen complained , that piety seeiks npt in very close union with Unilarianisrn : tne Seiv

    mon of Mr . Robberds would sufficiently redeem the cause . from this re * proacbh : never did there appear a more happy , and engaging alliance - To enlarge is to ^ endanger an encroachment upon dejicacy of feeling in that quarter where it is our last wish U > give offence : where the eulogium is most due , it is sometimes the least

    desired , and that we are assured i& the case in the present instance . A violation * however , would be done to our feelings not to advert to one idea upon which , the preacher very beautifully enlarged —the decisive advantage which the Unitarian view of the

    character of Christ possessed over every other system for the fulfilment of that love which is considered b y alias due to the blessed Sayiotav fiyery other
