religion * , ( the Roniau Catholic , the Reformed Calvinistic , and the Augsburg Lutheran , ) in admissibility to all the state offices of emolument , even the highest , and of what nature soever . " Such is the brief , but , we trust , not uninteresting sketch which our present limits and leisure have allowed us to offer of this Report , hoping , hereafter , to offer a fuller
account . For the method and arrangement of the Report , the Committee , at the conclusion , acknowledge themselves almost entirely indebted to the Secretary ' s " cooperation , rendered from the chamber of sickness . " They conclude by a wish for the Fund ' s justly-valued officer , in the spirit which dictated one of the subsequent resolutions of the General Meeting
— " that the Supreme Disposer of events may restore to him the blessing of health , —that he may long be preserved to dispense the glorious gospel of the grace of God , in its native simplicity and its saving power , to multitudes , in his own day , and to generations yet unborn . "
The Committee for the ensuing year consists of the following gentlemen : JOHN CHRTSTIE , Esq ., Treasurer , 52 , Mark Lane . THOs . HORNBY , Esq ., Deputy Treasurer , 31 , Swithin ' s Lane , Lombard Street .
Rev . W . J . FOX , Secretary , Dalston Committee : Mr . JOHN BOWRING , Mr . J . CORDELL , Mr . DAVJD EATON , Mr . JOSEPH FERNIE , Rev . J . GILCHRIST , Mr . SAMUEL HART , Dr . THOs . REES , Mr . J . T . RUTT , Mr . RICHARD TAYLOR
Auditors : JAMES ESDAILE , Esq ., CHRIST . RICHMOND , Esq . The subscribers and friends to the Unitarian Fund dined together , at the London Tavern , the same day , Wm . Hammond , Esq ., M . A ., formerly Fellow of Queen ' s College , Cambridge , in the Chair . The
interest of the Meeting was chiefly kept up by speeches from the preacher , Dr . Morell , the Treasurer , J . Christie , Esq ., Mr . Frend , Mr . R . Taylor , Dr . T . Rees and Mr . Wright , who , in an animated address , congratulated ! the company on
the promotion of intellectual improvement by all sects and parties , justly auguring the increasing influence of scriptural Christianity from the daily accelerated progress of that irresistible power , Universal Education .

Mr . Rutt who spoke immediately after " the better health of the Secretary" had been received with every mark of friendship and affection , referred to the very fair appeal from the congregation of Par . liament-Court Chapel .. He recommended to the attention of the Meeting the design of that congregation , should their
own efforts be kindly assisted , to erect in a very public and peculiafry accessible situation a commodious chapel , which as that they now occupy has ever been ' would be freely offered for all the purposes of the Unitarians at large . Mr . R . remarked , as a striking coincidence , that just by the spot where , 160 years ago
Biddie found a grave , his only refuge from persecution for the Unitarian doctrine , there would thus arise , as his proudest monument , a chapel , in which the doctrine for which he suffered would be taught with an impressive eloquence which probably that learned and pious confessor never possessed .
Mr . Cordell , Treasurer of the Parliament-Court congregation , was afterwards called up to address the Meeting on the subject of their project , in which we venture to promise ourselves , that the Unitarian body will soon practically discover a generous interest .
The gratification of this Anniversary was lessened by the absence , under the pressure of severe illness , not only of the Secretary , but of the Rev . R . Aspland , a valuable member of the Committee , the wish for whose complete recovery , proposed by the Treasurer , was most affectionately received . Dr . Thomas Rees justly described how deeply the members of the Unitarian Fund had been indebted
to his friend , who had been their Secretary while his engagements would allow him to hold that oilice . At the close of the Meeting , there was an amicable discussion between Mr . R Taylor , Mr . Hill and Mr . Rutt . The latter , contrasting his friend Mr . Fox
with modern Christian persecutors , had , in the opinion of the former gentlemen , too severely censured the present Common Sergeant . Mr . R ., indeed , had not scrupled even to class that criminal judge with his predecessor , for his very recent conduct oh the trial and condemnation of an Unbeliever , as that trial was reported in the public prints .
