courag-ed to build a pferfb chapel , on the most economical pluft , Without loss of time- I am ot this opinion , for the following reasons-.- —!* Hanley being in a central situation in so populous a district , where tnany of the eoftunon . people seeiaa disposed to attend to the
Unitarian doctrine ; it is highly de&ira ble a chapel should be erected there without delay , as there seems no rea * son to doubt of its being well attended . 2 . It seems necessary * first , to erect the standard firmly in this central situation , and then to establish occasional
lectures in a number of other places , but this cannot so well be done as by the speedy erection of a chapel . 3 . A tried fHend of the cause * now advancing in years , who resides in Hanley , liberally offers to give an eligible piecfc of land for a chapel to be built on > % vhich , I believe , will also feave room
for ground to bury in . As life is uncertain , should this kind offer be neglected , it might , at a future time , be difficult to procure a spot of grotmd suitable for the erection of a chapel . 4 . It appears to me , tkat it Would t > e unwise not to avail ourselves , to the

hojte the managers of the Fellowshi p Funds , and the friends of the Unitarian cause at large , wiH be prepared to give their patronage and liberal aid to the erection of a chapel at Hanley , so soon as the matter is determined on . I have no doubt , if the friends at Hanlev in this
proceed undertaking , they will do it in the most economical Way . At Lane-end , in another part of the Potteries , a society of Baptists , who meet in an upper room , fitted up as a small chapel , are become Unitarians , and hold occasional meetings in some other places . R . WRIGHT .

Ultra- Trin itarianism in Gentleman ' s Magazine and Eclectic Review . THE Unitarians have only to wish , like the man of Uz , that their adversaries may write books . While they wrap themselves up in mystery , they
may rely upon the superstitious reverence of their partisans , knowing that argument is as impotent against them as artillery levelled at the clouds ; but when they descend to explanations ,
they betray the miserable confusion of their system and its utter inconsistency both With reason and scripture . Let them go on to write , and the Unitarians may very contentedly stand by and watch the result .
We are led to these remarks by a late singular esftubitfon of Trin itarianism in two soi-disant " orthodox " Journals , the Gentleman ' s Magazine ^ which represents the High Church Arminian Trinitarians , and the Eclectic Review , which represents the Dissenting Calvinistic Trinitarians .
Considermg how little sympathy there is between these two parties , it is amusing to observe how closely they resemble each other in the odium theologicum towards Unitarians , and in the honest extravagance of their doctrine with rearard to the Trinitv .
