Unitarian Baptist Congregation , Battle . Tme Congregation of Unitarian Christians at Battle again appeal to the liberality of all those who are well-wishers to the religious improvement of the people , in consequence of their inability to relieve themselves ; they have been
oppressed with a heavy debt on their chapel for the last thirty-seven years . A statement of their case was given in Vol . XVIII ., p . 674 , of the Monthly Repository . Since its publication subscriptions to the amount of £ 85 . 2 s . 6 d . have
"been received towards the liquidation of h debt of £ 223 . 9 which has been unavoidably increased to j £ 285 ., in consequence of the decayed state of the flooring and other necessary repairs . Soon
after the erection of the chapel the only wealthy member of the congregation promptly came forward with a loan , for which he required a promissory note , eigned by a few members of the church ; he has since forsaken the cause which
he once zealously promoted , and has demanded the balance due to him , amounting to £ 155 . The persons who signed the note are unable to satisfy his demand , but have assured him that they are using every means to obtain the sum by voluntary subscriptions . Deaf , however , to all kind of entreaty , he has
threatened them with legal measures if the money be not speedily raised . * Desirous of getting rid of their troublesome neighbour and of protecting a few honest individuals from threatened disgrace , the congregation resolved to mortgage the
chapel ; but for reasons which need not here be stated , this measure was impracticable . The circumstances of the case were immediately communicated to the Committee of the British and Foreign Unitarian Association , who promptly came forward with their advice and
assistance ; and the congregation have the pleasing satisfaction of giving publicity to the following resolution passed by that Committee at the Unitarian Association Office , September 4 , 1826 : " That the sum of £ 25 be voted to the Battle Congregation towards the liquidation of their debt , and that the minister be authorized to state , that the vote is made on the full consideration of
the facts of the case , and with a view to recommend it to public liberality . " The congregation are encouraged to hope that this recommendation will procure for them the prompt assistance of their brethren residing in other parts of the kingdom ; and they most earnestly entreat the in misters of diilerent socit * , -

Lost Boors of Livy . —We congratulate classical scholars on a discovery being " made ( as stated in the Brussels papers received yesterday ) of a great desideratum , a " ? iiatus valde deflendus" in literature . If the statement be true , it is of the highest possible interest to the historian and to literature in general . It
is asserted , that the learned Abbe * Rosen , who is employed in the library there , has discovered , in a Capuchin convent , fifteen of the lost books of Livy , which have been missed for so many hundred years . To the scholar , this discovery will scarcely rank beneath that or the philosopher's stone to the alchemist . — ( Newspapers of the month . )
