Parliamentary Reform . The excitement in which the whole nation has been kept by the discussions on this vital question was increased by the result of the division on the second reading on the 22 d ult .

denomination of Particular Baptists , holding the doctrine of personal election , imputation of original sin , effectual calling , free justification , and final perseverance of the saints , and hy the members and . successors of the same congregation of Protestants holding the Name doctrines . Shortly before the filing of the bill , differences had arisen in the congregation ;

writing a refutation of the doctrine of the Trinity . For several years this venerable Christian adorned our religious society , and was an ornament to his profession in every relation of domestic
and social life . We now mourn his decease - , for by his removal from this sublunary state , consistency has lost an advocate , virtue a patron , and humanity a friend . Taunt on , March 17 , 1831 .
