vants with this encouraging declaration , ** Leave tl * y fatherless children , I will preserve them alive , and let thy widows trust in me . " Now if widbws and orphans in general are the subjects of bis peculiar regard , surely an Institution which has for its object the relief of tfofc widows and children
of his own faithful servants , who have devoted their time and talents , and spent their lives in promoting his kingdom and glory in the world , and the good of immortal souls , must be highly acceptable 3 n his sight .
An Institution for such a purpose , the Managers now present to the attention of their Dissenting brethren , and they anxiously hope that , under the circumstances stated , they wilt cheerfully adopt and encourage it . To those who profess the religion of Jesus , and enter into the divine
and benevolent spirit of its Author , it is presumed the appeal will no sooner be made than allowed . An inspired apostle has said , •* Pure religion , and uttdefiled before God and
the Father is this , to visit the fatherle&s and widows in their affliction , " as well as , " to keep ourselves unspotted from the world . "
It is to persons of such views , and who entertain such high and exalted feelings , that the present appeal is made ; and though perhaps it might , without much impropriety , be made
generally to all classes of Christians , yet surely , to Protestant Dissenters , it cornea with higher and more forcible claims , and to such , it is confidently hoped , it will not come without its due effect .
Subscriptions and other benefactions will be thankfully received by Benjamin Shaw , Esq ., Treasurer , London Bridge ; Mr . H . K . Smithers , Secretary , 323 , Borough ; and Mr . Isaac Hailbs , Collector , 29 , Budge Row , Watling Street .

Sir , SubanseayJune , 1824 . I ^ H E most intolerant speech of the i _ Biskop of St . David's against the Unitarian Marriage Bill , having been
singled out for publication in the Cambrian Newspaper , and the Editor having refused a place to the following communication on the subject , I submit it to your option for the Repository . JAMES GIFFORD .
To the Editor of the Cambrian . Sir , —I beg leave to submit to the readers of the Cambrian a few passing observations on the speech of the Bishop of St . David ' s against the Unitarian Marriage Bill , as given in your paper of the 15 th instant .
" To the benefits of the Bill ( says the Bishop ) as Dissenters from the Church , and on a plea of conscience , they are not entitled to ,, in my humble opinion , on either account . " " My Lords , conscience as well as zeal may be without knowledge ; and though
want of knowledge may be entitled to compassion , it has no claim to privilege . " They hold no other belief of the Deity than what is professed by Deists and Mahometans . * ' "If Unitarians would at once publicly declare themselves to hie what they ark , — not Christians , —they have the remedy in their own hands as well as the
Jews , and need not come to parliament . " Jews and Deists renounce the Christian revelation altogether ; Unitarians receive the gospel as a revelation from God the Father , by hie only Son our Lord Jesus Christ . Jews and
Deists believe Jesus Christ to have been a cheat and an impostor ; UnU tarians believe in him as the inspired messenger of God , the Messiah and Saviour of mankind . I ask your read ^ era . then * what more ea ) n be neede 4
