As his duties at Filby occupied only one part of the Sunday , Mr . Bowles was accustomed to attend on the ministry of Mr . Bey iron at Yarmouth during the other part ; and the infirmities of age having rendered it necessary for that gentleman to procure some assistance in his pulpit service * , Mr . Bowles most kindly and generously undertook half the duty , declining at the same time to
accept any part of Mr . Beynon ' s salary . This he did for many years , very much to the advantage of the congregation , in the last letter which I had from him , ( dated Dec . 10 , 1829 , ) he says , " 1 am happy to say that my evening lectures have been well attended ; I trust they have been instrumental in keeping alive some attention to the principles of Unitarianism . You know I am but a volunteer here , yet if I can serve the cause I love I am content . "

Hull Sunday-School Meeting . On Tuesday , Dec . 29 th , the Anniversary of the Bowl-Alley Lane Sunday-School , in this town , was commemorated in the following manner : in the afternoon the children of the school , after
assembling in the chapel and hearing a simple address from the minister , were regaled with tea ; and on their dismissal , the friends of the Sunday-school , and members of the congregation and others , to the number of eighty persons , sat down to a social tea-table at aix o ' clock .

His end was-equally sudden and serene . He had complained of some slight indisposition , and had retired , rather early , to rest . He soou fell into a sleep , and from that sleep he never awoke . This brief aiad imperfect sketch of Mr . ftowles's life and character will not , I trust , be wholly without its use . It will
serve to give his brethren in the ministry some knowledge of one who , though not educated among them , and destined during the early part of his life to move in a very different orbit to theirs , was worthy , if purity and singleness of heart , undeviating rectitude , unwearied diligence , added to the accomplishments of a scholar and the acquirements of a theologian , are among the characteristics of
a Christian Minister , to take no mean rank among them . It wHt also animate the timid to an honest and fearless profession of what they believe to be the truth , by shewing that such profession , accompanied by corresponding consistency of conduct , will not fail to silence the sneers of the worldly or the scorn of the bigot , and to ensure the cordial admiration of the enlightened and honest part of society .

and of hope that this might be only the first of many such commemorations . I beg leave , Mr . EdHor , to record our meeting among the similar articles of pleasiug religious intelligence , which I observe , I think , with increasing frequency , and never without sincere satisfaction , in your interesting pages . We derived the idea of our recent meeting from the similar Sundav-school
commemorations which have been held for several years at York and at Welbnrn , with much pleasure and improvement to those who have engaged in them . My own conviction of their utility is strengthened by every additional opportunity I have enjoyed of attending such
meetings ; and if that conviction had ever wavered , it would , I think , hare been immoveably fixed by the scenes of Jast Tuesday . Never could a meeting have been distinguished by more harmonious and social religious feeling , nor , I thiuk I may venture to say , by a more truly Christian spirit . The high and the low ,
