Report was more encouraging than that of the preceding year ; and several communications from the societies in the district gave very gratifying accounts of the state of the congregations and of institutions connected with them . At three o ' clock , between sixty and seventy of the friends , both ladies and gentlemen , dined together at the inn ;
Henry Martmeau , Esq ., in the chair , and the Rev . W . J . Bakewell , of Norwich , in the vice-chair . Many admirable sentiments were given : among the rest , one may be mentioned as of peculiar interest : " The present movement in the world ; and may these convulsions never
cease , till they terminate in the rights of man and the precepts of Jesus . " The meeting was addressed by Messrs . Murch , Harris , Bakewell , Melville , Martineau , Holland , Robinson , Clack , Silver , Esdaile , Hawkes , Alexander , Selby , and Notcutt y and the whole closed with the cheerfulness of prevailing satisfaction .

Anniversary of the Kent and Sussex Unitarian Association . The Nineteenth Anniversary of the Kent and Sussex Unitarian Association was holden at Maidstone , on Wednesday , July 6 . The religious services of the day were introduced by the Revds .
E . Ketley aud Talbot with reading the Scriptures aud prayer ; the Rev . G . Harris , of Glasgow , afterwards delivered a highly argumentative , instructive , and deeply impressive discourse , from 2 John ver . 7 : " For many deceivers are entered into the world , who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh ; this is
a deceiver aud an antichrist . " It would be impossible to convey to the reader , in a report of this kind , even a tolerably correct idea of the eloquence and force in which this highly eminent defence of the Unitarian faith was addressed to the
numerous and respectable audience assembled on this interesting occasion . It is , therefore , with no common satisfaction that we state , that the Sermon will be immediately published , which will afford to the Unitarian public more particularly the gratification of consulting a highly valuable record of the evidences in favour of the truth of Unitarian Christianity . At the close of the service the business of the Association was entered
upon ; and although the Report of the Secretary contained no incidents worthy of particular notice ,, at was evidently de * signed to excite among tb , e friends of rational Christianity an increasing zeal

for the advancement of the benign doctrines of the gospel « A slight expectation that the celebrated Brahmin , Rammohun Roy , would honour the meeting with his presence , occasioned a very large attendance of the members of the Association , although the circumstance of his inability to comply with the ardent wishes of the Committee occasioned no
inconsiderable disappointment . This meeting , notwithstanding , may be regarded as one of the most interesting and encouraging that has taken place since the establishment of the Association . A dinner was provided at the Star Inn , at which J . Brent , Esq ., of Canterbury , presided ,
who by his ability and good feeling contributed most essentially to the interest and enjoyment of the meeting . Several sentiments were proposed from the Chair , which called up a number of speakers . It may be remarked , as a proof that the Unitarian Dissenters are not inimical to
a constitutional monarchy , that the health of our patriotic King was received with the warmest enthusiasm . The health of the Rev . G . Harris , which was drunk amid general acclamation , called forth from the Reverend gentleman a speech of uncommon force , brilliancy , and eloquence ; it is to be regretted , from the circumstance of no reporter being
present , that this powerful appeal in favour of the great principles of religious reformation , should be confined only to those who had the high privilege and gratification of listening to the delivery of it . The subject of ** City Missions , " introduced by the Rev . E . Talbot , excited very considerable interest . The meeting was also addressed by the Revds . B . Mardon ,
L . Holden , — Ketley , — Wallace , — Baker , W . Stevens , H . Green , T . F . Thomas , B . Austen , and by Messrs . Pine , J . Green , and S . Dobell . At the close of the meeting , which was , from its peculiarly interesting character , extended to rather a late hour , the friends , who were collected from almost all parts -of
the county , proceeded to their respective places of abode , improved and delighted with the proceedings of a day that will carry with them in after life the most grateful recollection ® . " A day thus spent is better than a thousand employed in sin and folly . " J . G .
