was a happy means of building up and strengthening the infaut cause of Christian freedom . They have now a settled pastor , and their numbers are gradually increasing . At the close of a year , they look back without regret upon the sacrifices of ease and comfort which they have made , and forward , with humble confidence in the goodness of that Providence which has thus far blessed their efforts .
fa Wareham and the neighbourhood another instance is afforded of the adaptation of Unitarian Christianity , when rightly understood , to the wants and feelings of the lower order of society . A large proportion of the congregation is of that class . They read with
attention and with understanding the tracts which are put into their hands on doctrinal subjects , and , after a personal exaraiuation of the Scriptures , express themselves satisfied that we preach Jesus and him only . They have wisely got the better of the alarm which some of
our Calvinistic brethren , perhaps honestly , attempted to excite amongst them , as to the dreadful tendency of Unitarian doctrines , and are now in some danger of considering the tenets of the alarmists to possess that character . On the present occasion , we cannot forbear mentioning the pleasure and advantage we last week derived from tbe
friendly aid of the Rev . M . Maurice , of Southampton . He preached three times to crowded and attentive audiences , twice on the Sabbath , and once on the Tuesday evening . On the afternoon and evening of the following Sabbath , the day of the anniversary , sermons were delivered on the duties incumbent upon members of a Christian society .
The building in which public service is now conducted , was intended for a temporary experiment in the cause of UnUarianisai . As a consequence of its success , the erection of a more commodious structure is now contemplated . As far as the Wareham Unitarians
have consistently endeavoured to preserve that liberty wherewith Christ hath made his followers free , may their example be beneficial toothers , who , like themselves , are seeking after the old paths of uncorrupted , apostolical Christianity . JVareham , Feb . G , 1829 .

Catholic Question . Proceedings in Parliament at the Opening , of the Session . February 5 th . The following extract from the King ' s speech , though well known to most of our readers , is perhaps necessary , as bcv ing the text on which were founded all the arguments made u-e of in both Houses of Parliament on this very important and all-absorbing topic :
" My Lords and Gentlemen , "The state of Ireland has beeu the object of His Majesty ' s continued solicitude . His Majesty laments that in that part of the United Kiugdom an Association should still exist , which is dangerous to the public peace , and inconsistent with the spirit of the Constitution ; which keeps alive discord and ill-will amougst
His Majesty's subjects , and which must , if permitted to continue , effectually obstruct every effort permanently to improve the condition of Ireland . — His Majesty confidently relies on the wisdom and on the support of his Parliament ; and His Majesty feels assured that you will commit to him such powers as may enable His Majesty to maintain his just
authority . — His Majesty recommends that when this essential object shall have been accomplished , you should take iuto your deliberate consideration the whole condition of Ireland ; and that you should review the laws which impose civil disabilities on His Majesty ' s Roman Catholic subjects . — You will consider whether the removal of those disabilities
can be effected consistently with the full and permanent security of our Establishments in Church and State , wiih the maintenance of the Reformed Religion established by Law , and of the Rights and Privileges of the Bishops and of the Clergy of this Realm , and of the Churches committed to their charge . —These are institutions which must ever be held
sacred iu this Protestaut kingdom , and which it is the duty and the determination of His Majesty to preserve inviolate . — His Majesty most earnestly reconjmends to you to enter upon tlie consideration of a subject of such paramount importance , deeply interesting to the
best feelings of his people , and involving the tranquillity aud concord of the Uuited Kingdom , with the temper and the moderation which will best ensure the successful issue of your deliberations .
