      neous discourse from John iv . 8 , God is love , in which he shewed the inconsistency of many of the popular opinions of the day with this attribute of the Deity . After the morning service , the Members of the Society assembling in the new

      Meeting- house , together with their friends , dined in a large room in the Salford Cloth Hall . About 160 persons sat down to a plain , substantial dinner , provided for the occasion , at which Thomas Potter , Esq . presided , and Mr . Andrew Hall acted as vice-president . —On Sunday , the

      26 th , there were also two services—one in the forenoon , and the other in the evening . At the former , the Rev . Noah Jones prayed , and the Rev . R . Wallace preached from Gal . i . 23 . The preacher defended the public life and teaching of the apostle Paul , and shewed it to be in

      perfect consistency with' that of his Master , and took occasion to refer to and refute some of the statements of Gamaliel Smith . At the latter , Mr . W . prayed , and the Rev . J . G- Robberds , of Manchester , preached from James ii . 14 ; reconciling what is often urged as a contradiction between the writer of that

      epistle and the apostle Paul , on the subjects of faith and works ; and taking occasion to urge the necessity of the union of both . Collections were made after the services , and amounted in the whole to the sum of 104 / . 8 s ,, which is the largest collection that has been made

      on a similar occasion * in this county . — It was stated from tre pulpit , that the expense of the building , including the walls round the burial-ground , the stone and iron work , gas apparatus , and legal expenses , would amount to about 1280 / . ; towards which there had been then

      subscribed about 800 / ., which , with the collection , will make 900 / . ; so that there now remains a debt of near 400 / . upon the building . In order to liquidate this , it is the intention of the Society to apply to the friends of Unitarian Christianity for their support , and in that application

      it is hoped that they will be successful ; for their having done so much at home entitles them to encouragement . The Society has now to pay a yearly rent of 28 / . for the land forming the site of the building and the burial-ground ; they have also to support a regular minister , and to defray-other incidental expenses ;

      arid this will be as much as they will be able to do in the infancy of their establishment . The writer believes that the case of the Salford Unitarian Meetinghouse will not be found less deserving of support from the friends of Unitarianism than any that has been heretofore submitted to their liberality , F .

      Proposal for New Unitarian Chapel , at Islington . We have received a letter from Mr . David Eaton of some importance , but too late to come in entire . He says , I

      am authorized by a gentleman to state , that if any persons will join him , he is ready to advance , as a shareholder , one thousand pounds , for the immediate erection of an Unitarian Chapel at Islington . The great increase of population in that district , and the growth of

      knowledge and inquiry amongst all ranks of men , afford , it is presumed , good ground to hope that , under an able ministry , a respectable society would be speedily raised . "—He adds , that communications will be thankfully received , addressed to A . B ., 187 , High Holborn .
