given , some individuals signifies ! their disapproval of such a meeting :, and their minister , finding that he could not remove their objections , consented to annul all the arrangements that had been made . It being so near the day appointed for meeting when this unexpected
opposition was made , there was scarcely time for making other arrangements , nor any possibility of giving proper notice of those which were hastily made . If any persons were disappointed , this explanation , it is hoped , will exculpate the person ? who gave the notice that the meeting
would be held at Chester . In justice to the Chester congregation it must be mentioned , that nearly twenty of its respectable members attended this meeting to testify their approval of the existence of such Association . ] In the morning there was a public service at the chapel , the
devotional parts of which were conducted by the Revds . Green and Ashton , and the sermon was preached by the Rev . J . G . Robberds , from John x , 30 , ' " I and my Father are one ; " shewing that the Oneness of Christ with the Father was not that of essence or nature , but of will , design , and co-operation , in effecting the
glorious purposes of the Gospel . The argument was clear and powerful , illustrating , by a happy reference to other parts of scripture , the meaning of the passage under consideration , hi contending for the truth , the preacher earnestly sought to produce impressions cheering to the mind and improving to the heart . Should this sermon ever
make its appearance in print , it will be a valuable tract to put into the hands of those who so confidently declare that God and Christ are one Being ; and of those too , who , having embraced correcter views on this controverted subject , have yet to learn the practical value of Christ's declaration , ** I and my Father are one . " After the usual business of
the Association was transacted , the friends , both male and female , to the number of forty-five , repaired to a small village , about a mile distant from the chapel , to partake of a friendly dinner .

Eccles . vii . 10 , " Say notthou , What is the cause that the former days were better than these ? for thou dc * st not inquire wisely concerning this . ' * The words declare the object of the preacher , viz . to shew the superiority of the present over former times in respect to the improvement and condition of mankind .

Richard Carlii < e is said in the newspapers to have been let outf of goal without fine or bail * We understand that a petition was sent to the Secretary of the Home Department , for his release . —Application has been made to the present
Lord Mayor , ( Venables ) to put a stop to the Christian Evidence Society , meet ? ing in Cateafon Street , under the conduct of a Mr . Taylor , formerly a clergyman , for the sake of impugning the doctrines of Divine Revelation . The worthy
magistrate states that similar applications had been made to his predecessor , Garratt . He says that the irreligious coriduct of the persons promoting the objects of the Society is disgusting in the extreme—but that he does not entertain
the slightest intention of noticing the communications made to him in any other way than by expressing publicly his coptempt for the Society , about which so much unnecessary alarm had been felt . " This appears to us to be the right course . Had the same wise policy been adopted with regard to Carlile , he would never have been looked up to either 38 a hero or a martyr .
