    Report of the Committjee of the Unitarian Fund , reap at the General Meeting of Subscribers , May 21 st , 1823 . James Young , Esq ., in the Chair * The account to be given by y 5 ur Committee of the proceedings during the past year will occupy much less time than usual , in consequence of the adoption of a plan for conveying more quiekiy and extensively to the Subscribers such Information as is considered of sufficient importance and interest . Two

    numbers have been published of the Unitarian Fund Register , containing * a long and interesting communication from the Rev . W . Adam of Calcutta , two letters from W . Roberts at Madras * and copious extracts from the Joujv nals and correspondence of Mr . Wright . Some measure of this description had become necessary ; and its utility has already been made apparent by the benevolent attention excited towards the objects which this Institution was established to promote . A number will be stitched up with the Monthly

    Repository , occasionally , and varying in size , as the requisite materials may accumulate in the hands of your * Committee . The present , and future Annual Reports will therefore chiefly consist of a brief review of the last year ' s transactions , ( of which the details will thus be already known , ) aud of such general statements as to the measures pursued , or contemplated ^ for the furtherance of our Cause as may enable the Agents and Subscribers of the Fund thoroughly to understand each other , and effectively to co-operate whenever circumstances will allow .

    The operations of this Society uaay be distributed into the following partilars : 1 . Missionary Journeys . 2 . Village Preaching , and Lectures carried on by Ministers resident in the nei g hbourhood . 3 . Assistance to particular Congregations . 4 . Distribution ofTracts . 5 . Foreign Correspondence and Cooperation . Each has engaged the attention of the Committee , and with results which , they trust , you wUl c ( eem satisfactory and encouraging .

    The most important Missionary journey to be noticed is that of Mr . Wright , in the Summer and Autumn of last year , into Lancashire , which was the pr incipal scene of his labours , but in the course of which he also visited parts of Staffordshire , Shropshire , Cheshire , and North Wales . It was an unusual circumstance for Mr . Wright to be employed in the same district for two successive years , but the good effects which had been produced by his visit to Lancashire in 1821 ; the activity which he had caused , increased , or judiciously

    directed , amongst our friends in different parts of that County ; the Missionary plans which many of them had engaged in , or were contemplating $ and the generally progressive appearance of our Causfc , were thought to indicate that the same degree of exertion wotild yiel 4 ampler returns of usefulness there , than in any other part of the kingdom . / . It is unnecessary to say more , as to the fulfilment of ttyb hope , than that \ $ 6 % h Mr- Wright and the Committee consider what has 6 |& accomplished as not unworthy Qf his last effort in ymir service , in the V ^ aairfccter of permanent JYf issionwy r ,
