Unitarian Chapel , Glasgow . SIR , —The Unitarian Society in this city having ( in a printed circular ) taken the liberty of submitting- a full statement of their case , relative to the debt which
remains on their chapel , to the consideration of their brethren in England , and of soliciting their friendly aid ; apprehending that there may be many friends of Unitariarnsm whom their circular will not reach , beg- leave , through the medium of the Monthly Repository , to submit the following * short account to the Unitarian public .

Yates had become its minister ; The erection of a pretty large and commodious place of ¦ worsh ip seemed essentially necessary , to give full effect to the valuable labours of the worthy Pastor , who has since so ably
defended the Unitarian cause , and for the promotion of the pure doctrines of Christianity in this large and increasing city . The chapel is respectable , and contains seats for 650 persons . The public service ^ are well attended , and there is a prospect of the congregation continuing to increase . Ground in Glasgow being
extremely dear , it was thought prudent to make the most of the site purchased for erecting the chapel ; consequently , cellars were made beneath it , for which a rental of 701 . per annum was obtained , until the change of times , which has reduced the rental to 45 / . per annum . Connected also with the chapel is a small building , which
was erected with a view of making the most of the ground , a sufficient quantity of which it was necessary to purchase backward , to prevent any high building being erected so near as to obstruct the light . This building , besides furnishing a dwelling" for the person who has the care of the chapel , brings a yearly rent of 13 / .
