Moor-Lane Congregation , Bolton-le-Moors . The Rev . Wm . Worsley , A . B , of Gainsborough , conducted the leligious services of Sunday morning and afiernoun ; and the Rev . J . J . Tayler , A B ., of Manchester , those of Sunday evening . On Monday , one hundred and six persons , male and female , sat down to an economical dinner in Little Bolton Town Hall .
Toasts were proposed relative to the spread of Christian truth in all its features to every family of man , which called forth very able speeches from the Revs . Wm . Woi > ley , J . J . Tayler , K . It . Dimock , H . Green , J R . Heard , J . Marriott , J . Hincks , J Buckland , J . Cropper , and Messrs . J . Brandreth , Kd . JVlakin , and P . Heywood On Tuesday , the
scholars of the Sunday-school assembled to dine in the same room ; and after dinner were addressed by the Revs . Wm . Worsley and E . R . Dimock . From the nature and spirit of the above meeting we are led to remark , that of the various assemblies now called together in the religious world , this formed an exception in feeling as we ] J as expression to every
species of bigotry and sectarianism . Met together as the brethren of all mankind , they rejoiced at the late grants ( partial as they are ) of liberiy to the Protestant Dissenter and the Roman Catholic , and expressed their earnest desire for the success of eveiy cause which has for its object the promotion of true Christianity . Met together as Unitarian Christians .
they shewed by the harmonious and truly religious spirit of their meeting , that , as a congregation , they are one in the purpose of their hearts to serve God according to the benevolent and pure law of Jesus Christ ; that as a sect of professing Christians , who diffei from others in certain points of doctrine , they will not let this difference of belief be a reason for
hostility to others , and a check to their exercise of charity towards all , whatever may be the nature of their religious creed . They hate hitherto exemplified the spirit of love in unison with active zeal . They have hitherto made these their means to further the interests of
true religion ; and sincerely is it wished that in themselves andiheir families they may have their reward in every blessing and favour of God .

in the Chair . The Report of the Treasurer , James Esdaile , Esq ., was read and confirmed . The Report of the Committee , detailing the proceedings of the Society for the last year , was read by the Secsetaiy and received . From this it appeared , that beside the usual allotment of books to subscribers , the Secretary Iras sent out of the store , during the last \ ear , Christian Tracts to the
following places : Chesterfield , Nottingham , Leeds , Kidderminster , Glasgow , Edinburgh , Lancaster , Liverpool , JMaidstone , Houiton , Diss , Leeds , and , through one of the members of the Society , to the United States of America . The Report stated , that it had been found desirable
to reprint live of the old Tracts dm ing the past year , in the usual form , in addition to the reprint of William ' s Return in an improved form , with wood-cuts , copies of which tract were presented to the Meeting . Also , that two new tracts had been published and included hi this year ' s Catalogue , entitled , The History of William and Mary Allen , No . 55 ; and an Address to Sunday School
Children , No . 56 . The Meeting was addressed by several gentlemen , and by no fewer than eight ministers , who all expressed their strong conviction that the objects which this Society contemplates are among the holiest , most laudable and benevolent in which human beings can engage ; and several alluded particularly to the suitable adaptation of these moral tales and other treatises to the wants of
the poor and uneducated , especially in the manufacturing districts . As there is a large stock in hand , aud the Society ' s funds are very ill adapted to its present exigencies , ( there being a large sum due for paper which it would be desirable to liquidate , ) it is hoped that some of the numerous friends to the welfare of their
fellow-creatures will send to the store for these instruments of diffusing peace and virtue , and thus gratify their own feelings , while they will be conferring the highest benefit upon others . Among other resolutions that were passed at the Meeting is the following , to which the Secretary will , by the Editor's leave , take ati early opportunity of attending :
" That such parts of the Committee ' s Report as may be judged suitable , be , by permission ot the Editors , inserted in the Monthly Repository aud the Christian Reformer . " BENJAMIN MARDON , Secretary .
