      Hloii . ^ kjilv ^ uiajil we actvices which it has rendered to religion ^ aBd-tlieir 4 iigli-adTniratioii-Gf-tlie liberal and enlightened principles , on which it is conducted / The Rev . Mr . Murch , ( of Diss ) . — « I rise to second the motion which has

      just been proposed ; and if I do not occupy your time in descanting on those topics- to which my friend has alluded , it is ru > t because I hold them to be of trifling importance , but because the lateness of the hour makes

      it necessary that I should be brief * In order to carryJntp effect all those objects for which , we are contending , it is highly necessary that such an education should be provided as may enable its possessors to grapple with such difficulties as may present themselves : We all know that on the

      ministers of congregations ; chiefly devolves the duty of supporting the cause of Unitarian ism ; and as the Manchester College holds a high rank in the education of those ministers , I hope that we shall separate this evening with a determination to bear in mind the importance of that institution , and to do all in our power to support it . '

      Mr . Osborne . —* It is not , perhaps , generally known to the meeting , that the gentleman who preached this morning commenced his ministry in the South of Ireland ; and being a native of Cork , I wish to bear

      testimony to his services in that country . Mr . Hincks prepared the ground for the . _ goocLseed , in . Cork .. ; . he . gave a tone to the Society which that Society still possesses , and which I trust will continue and increase . To Mr . Wrri .

      Hincks we are indebted for eommg forward , and boldly maintaining those principles which are now so common here . But the South of Ireland was

      unworthy of him ; opprobrium was thrown on hirr * ; and he had to leave his home and congregation , and come to ^ a ^ morencioirgenM ~ si 5 rlr ~ "H"FiTad however , cast his bread upon the waters , and now that sixteen years have elapsed , the bread so cast has

      returned to him after many days : we have now a Society in Cork , which may be said to have sprung from the exertions of ' Wm . Hincks ; and should he ever again visit that city , I trust he will find a fitting audience . If then he come forward with that

      energy which truth alone can give , and if he imbibed that truth at York College , I say that that College is deserving of our support and assistance / The Rev . Mr . Hincks . — It is right to state that the principle on which this College lias been established , is

      that of free inquiry in matters of religion ; the peculiar character of the institution is , that no creed whatever is taught therein ; the only plan of theological teaching adopted there is , the preparing young men by the acquisition of previous knowledge for the study of the Scriptures , so that

      they may form for themselves then own opinions . There is no restrict tion whatever ; if they are led by their inquiries to embrace orthodox opinions , they will in no degree have broken through the rules of the institution ; and all that the friends of the institution would do , would be

      to wish them success in any honest endeavour to promote what they might believe to be the truth .. Now , Sir , I believe that there is no other institution in this country conducted on the same- princip le . Of the manner in which the institution is conducted it would little become me to speak , considering the situation which I have the honour to hold ; but I
