    The December number of this periodical lias a report of the speech of the Rev . W- Smith of Moor-lame , Bolton , at the District Association Meeting in that town on the 4 th of October last , introduced by the following paragraph : ¦ — * In the Unitarian Chronicle and

    Companion to the Monthly Repo ^ sitory for November , appeared an account of a meeting of the Bolton District Association ; at which , on health and prosperity to the advocates of Unitarianism in Ireland and in Scotland having been proposed , the Rev . W . Smith is reported to have talked about the toads and vipers which -croaked in the -marshes . of

    Ireland ; and that such was the na- * tional closeness and caution of Scotsmen , that he was not certain he knew the real opinions of any one individual in Scotland with whom he had been acquainted .

    That corrected report' we copy from the Pioneer ; but in doing so , we must be allowed a word , of corns ment . The difference is not , as the reader will , on comparison , perceive , so material as to warrant the manner in which our report is referred to . There are marks , moreover , of this report having been made up by the
