General Baptist Assembly . The General Baptist Annual Assembly was held at Worship Street , on Whit-Tuesday , the 9 th June last . The letters from the various churches in connexion with the meeting gave , for the most part , satisfactory accouuts of their condition and prospects ; aud though there are
some that will require much care to prevent them from sinking into decay , it is hoped that the necessary exertion will be made not only to preserve them in existence , but also to restore them to their former prosperity . The Rev . S . Martin , of Trowbridge , delivered an admirable sermon on the occasion ; after
which the Committees Report was received , and the business of the Assembly transacted . J . Evans , Esq ., ably presided at the dinner . In the evening there was another religious service , which was conducted by the Rev . Jerom Murch , who is about to leave the General Baptist Academy , and to settle with the Unitarian congregation at Diss , having reserved to himself full liberty to enforce at his discretion the duty and usefulness of believers' baptism .
The proceedings of the whole day appeared to yield much pleasure to those who were present , and to give indication of increased zeal and energy in the cause of rational belief aud scriptural practice .

British and Foreign Unitarian Association Anniversary . The Anniversary of this Institution : was held ou Wednesday , June 10 th , at Finsbury Unitarian Chapel . The Rev . James Yates introduced the service by reading the Scriptures and prayer . Dr . Drummond then delivered an able discourse to the large and respectable
auditory assembled on the occasion , from Matt . vi . 22 , 23 : The light of the body u the eye : if , therefore , thine eye be single , thy whole body shall be full of light . But if thine eye be evil , thy whole body shall be full of darkness . If , therefore , the light that is in thee be darkness , how great is that darkness ! The sermon was worthy of the preacher ' s reputation , and
contained a masterly dissection and exposure of the absurdities involved in the denial of the full and free exercise of individual judgment on religious matters . Dr . Drummond has kindly complied with the unanimous and earnest request of the Committee for its publication , and we hope it will soon be in the hands of our readers . Immediately after divine
service , Thomas Gibson , Esq ., the Treasurer of the Association , was called to the Chair ; and it was gratifying to observe that the attendance , during the transaction of the business of the Society , was unusually large . The Report was then read . We shall not attempt any abstract of it , as it is , we hope , already printed , or at least in its passage
through the press . Votes of thanks to the Officers and Committee were then passed ; that to the Rev . R . Aspland being introduced by a strong expression of regret ; at the probability that his various avocations would not allow of his continuing to fill the office of Secretary beyond the year now commencing . ^ Tiey were all re-elected with the exception of Dr . Thomas Rees , who is succeeded Jn
