John Green , Jun ., of Maidstone , who added much to the gratification of the day by the ability and good feeling with which he discharged the office . The company was

To be convinced of the great and good effect produced by our associations , it is but necessary to state that the influence of the Manchester Meeting extended even to this southeastern coiner of the island , and that the relation of the noble sentiments which

Sussex Unitarian Association . The Annual Meeting of the Sussex Unitarian Association took place at Brighton , on the 7 th instant . The devotional parts of the service were conducted by the Rev . R . Ashdowne , of Horsham , and the Rev . C . P . Valentine , of Lewes ; the Rev . R . Aspland preached from Phil . ill . 3 : " For we are the circumcision
who worship God in the spirit , and rejoice in Christ Jesus , and have no confidence iti the flesh . " The sermon was a fine specimen of Mr . Asplaud ' s argumentative style of reasoning , combining elegance of diction with eloquence of thought . The first part of the sermon contained proofs of the identity of Apostolic and Unitarian Christianity , the second was a beautiful and pathetic appeal to the reason and feelings on the grounds which Unitarian Christians have to
rejoice in Christ Jesus . Perhaps one could utter uo better wish than that the sentiments embodied in this part of the discourse might be duly and generally appreciated . This , however , as Mr . Aspland himself intimated , must be a work of time ; before any great impression is made upon the public mind it is

impression upon all present by the expression of sentiments congenial with the good old toast , " Civil and Religious Liberty all the world over It was proposed to hold a half-yearly meeting of the Society at Cuckrield , in October ; the Rev . J . C . Means to be invited to

General Meeting' of the British and Foreign Unitarian Association at Manchester ,
( Concluded from p . 494 . ) After the cloth was withdrawn , the Chairman rose and spoke as follows : — Mr . Vice-President and Gentlemen , in proposing the King as the first toast on this occasion , 1 should be doing violence to my loyal feelings , as well as to yours , if I did not solicit your sympathy for the King under his severe indisposition , aud
the expression of your wishes for his recovery . 1 am sure that you will all feel that his Majesty is peculiarly entitled to your gratitude , because it is during his reign that the cause of civil and religious liberty has made the most important advances ( cheers ) . 1 have long been convinced , that the best friends of liberty are
