The Visitor , after having distributed the prizes , proceeded to express the high satisfaction of the Trustees in the very favourable report which had beeu received from the Tutors of the geueral conduct and consequent proficiency of the Students during the whole session , and in the highly creditable result of the examination just concluded : he
particularly adverted tu the laudable spirit of emulation which had this year shewn itself with regard to the prizes which were the subjects of competition , in the much greater number than usual of sealed papers given in , and also that this emulation had shewn itself quite clear of jealousy , by the cordiality with which the names of the successful candidates
had been received . He then proceeded to observe , that as neither the Tutors ' report , nor any thing which had occurred during the examination , had furnished him with a * uy subject on which to ground admonition or caution , still less reproof or censure , he would avail him of the opportunity of giving them a few thoughts on a general subject connected with the exercise of their ministerial
duties . The subject jvhich he chose was pubJic prayer ; but al the thoughts were hastily put together , he thinks it better to keep them back for the present : they may probably furnish , in a more matured state , an article which may solicit insertion in a future number of the Repository . He concluded by adverting to the
late Meeting at Manchester , and particularly to an important suggestion by their friend Mr . Robberds , and to a resolution grounded thereupon , * ' That it be most earnestly recommended to the Committee of the Association to con / aider , whether they cannot effect the establishment of City Missions , on a plan and for purnoses similar to those detailed in the
reports of the Rev . Dr . Tuckermau , of Boston , U . S . "; and by earnestly recommending it to those of his young friends who were about to leave the College with an immediate view to the exercise of the ministry , to consider the poor and ignorant inhabitants of the places in which they should settle as a
part of their special charge ; and to endeavour , by schools and conferences , and occasional missionary preachings , to enlarge their knowledge and stimulate their sense of the importance of the great truths of the gospel , as connected with their good conduct here and their happiness hereafter .
Three young ministers are this year leaving the College . Mr . H . Hawkes is engaged on trial at Norwich ; Mr . Cor-

Southern Unitarian Society * The Annual Meeting of the Southern Unitarian Society was held at Chichester , on Wednesday , June 23 d . The Rev . £ . Kell introduced the service , in the morning , by prayer and reading the Scriptures ; the Rev . Russell Scott offered the general prayer , and the Rev . J . P . Malleson , B . A ., of Brighton , preached
an excellent sermon from Luke xxiv . 11 , in which he exhibited in a striking manner the circumstantial evidence in favour of Unitariauism from the conduct and preaching of the Apostles . In the evening the Rev . C . P . Valentine , of Lewes , delivered an interesting discourse from Philippians i . 9 : "And this 1 pray , that your love may abound yet more and
more in knowledge and in all judgment . * ' Between the services the members and friends of the Society dined together at the Swan Inn , Abraham Clarke , Esq ., of Newport , in the Chair . At the business meeting of the Society , the Rev . J . Fullagar presided , and the Secretary read the Report of the Committee , from which it appeared that the
state and prospects of the Society were encouraging . Reference was made to the proposal made by the Dorsetshire Association of Independent Ministers to the Southern Unitarian Society to appoint three of its members to confer with the Rev . Messrs . Durant , Gunn , and Keynes ,
as to whether the persous now iii possession of the Old Meeting-House in Wareham are entitled in equity to retain the same , and the reasons which had induced the Society to decline a conference in which there were not the slightest grounds for expecting that any impartial decision could have been obtained . * The
Unitarians of Wareham had , in the spirit of meekness and wisdom , withdrawn from a contest which could only have increased and prolonged feelings of animosity , and were erecting for themselves a commodious chapel capable of holding three hundred persons . Thus the efforts
made to crush Unitarianism in that town have , under the Divine blessing , been the means of exciting an increased interest in the cause of truth , and establishing Unitarianism on a solid and permanent basis . May it continue to nourish there in a manner equal to the fervent interest
