    worship is conducted by the united exertions of six individuals—and that then an able , active , and zealous Missionary is introduced amongst us—thus assisted , it seems to your Committee that his exertions are much more likely to he crowned with success than when he is hut a solitary and unsupported labourer in the Lord ' s vineyard . Those who

    labour with him will necessarily feel greatly interested in the success of his and their work : —your Missionary , too , encouraged by finding himself supported in his endeavours , not by good wishes only , but by real and efficient help , will labour with an energy which a reasonable hope of success alone can give . He will know that , when called from one to another part of the scene of his labours , what he has sown will be attended

    to during his absence , and he will feel that his work is not a mere scattering of seed by the way-side . Thus assisted , should he « ee a favourable opportunity of breaking up new ground , of sowing the truth where it had not been beforfc , and of establishing new societies , he may embrace the happy occasion without fear of injuriously neglecting his former labours . "

    After the reading of the Report , and the passing of the resolutions connected with it , a large portion of the friends who were present retired to an inn , where one hundred and ten individuals-, of both sexes , sat down to an excellent but economical dinner . After the cloth was withdrawn the meeting was addressed by several speakers . All present

    were highly indebted to their Chairman , the Rev , J . Fullagar , for the life , energy , good humour and good feeling , which he manifested , and which he infused into the meeting . The following gentlemen , by their speeches , added to the spirit and social interest of the day : The Revds . I * . Holden , W . Steveus , € . Saint , and E . Talbot ; and Messrs . ftlundell , Payae ,

    Griesbrook , Burgeig , Bartlelt , and Green . There were many congratulations on the achievements which liberal a nd ; enlightened principles had made * within the last two years . But those who ave still injured and oppressed were not forgotten * The cause of the enslaved Negro was advocated : and the exclusion of the Jews

    from , the enjoyment of civil and religions privileges , was mentioned as a disgv&cefill anomaly , which , ought , as soon as possible , to be , removed .

    Western Unitarian Society * On Wednesday , the 8 tb of July , the Annual Meeting of the Western Unitarian Society was held at Bristol . The services of the day were conducted by Mr . Lewis , of Dorchester ; Mr . Hunter , of Bath ; and Dr . Hutton , of Leeds , who had engaged to preach on the occasion . Dr . Hattou ' s discourse was founded on 1 Cor . xiv . 15 , "I will pray with the spirit , I

    will pray with the understanding also /' It bore but little on the doctrinal peculiarities of Unitarians : but we appear to have arrived . at a period in which , except in somewhat peculiar circumstances , enough has been done for the controvert sial and critical forms of our doctrines ; and iu which we are especially called uppn to do every thing in our power to associate with our views of Christian

    truth all the vitality and spirituality of Gospel principles , the energy of Christian duty , and the solicitude it inspires for the salvation of men . The business of the Society was transacted at the close of the service , the Rev . John Bo we in the Chair ; when fourteen new members were added . The thanks of the Meeting

    were then cordially and unanimously given to Dr . Hutton for his discourse , ' * so strongly characterized by high talent , consecrated by Christian affection to the promotion of the cause of practical piety , and so well adapted to cherish among Unitarians the spirit of rational

    devotion , as well as to shew to our Or * thodox brethren how it exists among us . * Dr . Hutton was earnestly requested to allow the Society to print it ; but he gave no expectation of acceding to this desire : the discourse will , however , it is hoped , be published in some other way , should he still adhere to the determination he

    expressed . The principal subject of discussion at this Meeting , besides the ordinary business of the Society , was the continuance of an annual donation , q £ five pounds , which had been voted at Exeter in 1827 , in aid of the purposes , of the British and Foreign Uoitariaa Association . This

    appropriation of its funds bad been regarded by several membe ^ pf the Committee as not falling withiu the scape of the Sodeijr , yiz * * * , to , pjrtunote Qhrtetian k now * kdge and the . practice of virtue by the dbtiibutionu of boolw > " and it was refer * red byuihq ' Camimtfee to the considers tioiL of tUe General .
