lower tenements will let being such as will materially lessen the permanent expense that would otherwise have been incurred . The large u £ per room being neatly fitted up with forms was opened as a place of public worship on Sunday , June 30 th , by William Ditffield , the Unitarian minister ajt ^ Stockton .- The services were in the afternoon * a = nd evening , and on each occasion there was an

also erected a meeting-house , which was opened on Sunday , July 31 . So that Middlesbro' is now provided with two places of public worship . May they both be the means of increasing a sense of religious duty , and of diffusing the blessings of religious education .
