No change ' by which the condition of Clni ^ ti ati UoitartaiMsin in Calcutta would be affected , has occurred since our last Report . From Wiiliam Roberts , the na « tire teacher wear Madras , gratifying intelligence has been received . He is preparing his sons to assist and succeed him in the ministry , and the Committee of the British and Foreign Unitarian Association have undertaken to educate one of them in England .
The receipts and expenditures of the past year , and the present state of the funds of the Association , are exhibited in the statement of the Treasurer . J ' n regard to the resources of the Association , the Committee must repeat the suggestion which they have made in
former Reports . Our dependence must be on auxiliaries . The atiernpt to collect the subscriptions of individuals is pronounced by the Treasurer tedious , difficult , and almost ; fruitless . The expense i § great , and the inconvenience such as to dissuade the Committee from
using this means of augmenting their £ undi 5 . it is through auxiliaries alone thac the treasury can be enabled to meet the demands matfe an it . tt is on them aloire ahkt the tiommittee can rest their calculaiiion » respecting the ability of this Asgocitetioia tor satisfy the wants of the litiid ; 'I ? h ^ people : are thirsting for insti'nctioiii They call to us to give it to

friends . They think the time has come when they may say that it is tneir belief that the existence of an auxiliary iti e ^ er ^ Unitarian- society , would promote the welfare of that society scarcely less than it would benefit this Association ; ^ nite , If these auxiliaries should be formed and
maintained , nothing that we foresee could prevent the wide , and free , and fair dissemination of our faith . Having thus reviewed our own proceedings , we shaU exhibit , in as brief a compass as will allow distinctness to the several objects , a view of the present state and resources of Unitarian
Christianity in this country . We have taken some pains to collect the facts which w ^ a shall use , and though some of the statements may not be perfectly correct ^ and some of our conclusions may be precipitate , yet we shall offer nothing for which we do not think we have sufficient authority . The Unitarians of rhe United States
may be arranged under four divisions . The first includes the Christians , who sprang up almost cemtemporanedusly , yet without any knowledge each paVt ' bf the other , in New England and in the South-westei 11 States , be ? ii £ principally in the latter region seceriers from the Preabyteiians and Mefhodlstfi , and in thfe
