Thorne . The Rev . J . Platts , of Doncaster , preached in the niorning from the words , " He that doeth righteousness is righteous ; " and the Rev . Dr . Philipps , of
Sheffield , in the evening , from the words , " What think ye of Christ ? " The services , which were highly interesticg , were heard with the most profound attention by large and respectable congregations . Id the interval of the services the
members of the Association aud friends to the Unitarian cause dined together , and were excited to increased zeal in the great cause of truth and virtue by the animated addresses of several gentlemen present , but chiefly by the encouragiug prospects of the Unitarian congregation
at that place . It will be gratifying to those friends who so liberally supported the congregation in their first exertions , and enabled them to erect a chapel for the worship of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ , to learn that the able and well-directed labours of the Rev .
W . Duffield , who has lately settled amongst them , are meeting with all the success which those previously acquainted with the Christian zeal and energy of this gentleman would have anticipated . The congregation is already much increased , and an active and zealous spirit is excited .

¦ un Unitarian Chapel , Middleton , Lan * cashire . In Middleton , on Sunday , June 4 th , was re-opened for Unitarian worship a chapel which had been occupied by the Methodists . Two sermons were preached on the occasion , that in the afternoon by the Rev . J . G . Robberds , and that in thd
evening by the Rev . J . R . Beard . Middleton is one of the stations which are supported by the Lancashire and Cheshire Unitarian Missionary Society . The prospects which this station presents to the friends of liberal Christianity are highly gratifying . The congregation already consists of thirty families , and it
supports a Sunday-school consisting of one hundred and thirty children . The room in which the Society had hitherto met was singularly inconvenient , and this it is believed has caused many to abstain from the public worship of the one God , who are expected to avail themselves of the convenience afforded by the chapel
now opened . The audiences were exceedingly good—in the afternoon the chapel was very Well attended , and to the evening crowded to excess . Both the services were highly interesting and attention
listened to with the deepest . In regarding either the worldly circumstances of the congregation , or their religious feelings , one could not fail to be reminded of the highly interesting # ' cotmta that have be ^ n published of the state of UnUarianism in Weltwrn , n # *
