      DOMESTIC . Stamford Street Fellowship Fund . Sir , Six years ago , ( Jan . 26 , 1818 , )* I had the pleasure of communicating to the Monthly Repository an account of the formation of a Fellowship Fund at St . Thomas ' s , Southwark . At a Quarterly

      * See Monthly Repository , Vol . XIII . p . 73 . t At this meeting the whole of the balance remaining in the Treasurer ' s hands was voted away . The sum of 10 / ., the largest portion of it , was granted in aid

      of / the fund for the erection of the New Finsbury Chapel . This is the sum to which the erratum , iu the advertisement relating to that erection ' on the cover of the last Monthly Repository refers .

      -New Unitarian Chapel , Stratford . A veuy neat and commodious little chapel has been erected for Unitarian worship , at Stratford , hi Essex ,, and was opened on Sunday the 18 { h irist ., with two sermons , that in the morning by the Rev . R . Aspland , consisting of A " Review of the Sufferings , of , Good Men in Times Past for Conscience * Sake , " and that in the evening by the Rev , W . J : Fox , on " the Value of Christian Truth . " The history of the small but respectable congregation at Stratford is truly encouraging , as it shews that a few individuals

      may by steadiness , consistency and perseverance , finally establish their religious opinions in the form of public worship ; This people is peculiarly praise-worthy in having been contented with a place of worship , accommodated to their pecuniary means , and in having erected iu the end a House of Prayer , the support of which will not be felt as a burden .
