      appointed President , and Richard Meade , JBsq , Treasurer and Secretary . The rules by which the business of the society is to be conducted , and the objects which it is designed to promote , are nearl v the same as those of similar institutions in different parts of the kingdom . The unanimity

      and cordiality evinced at its formation afford the uio * t encouraging prospect of its permanence and success . A considerable number of persons immediately gave ia their names as subscribers , and the list has since been gradually augmenting . From the deep and general imerest felt by Unitarians in the establishment of these

      institutions , and from the readiness with which they come forward to contribute to their support , it is highly gratifying to infer among all classes of worshipers in our congregations the existence of n growing zeal in the cause of religious truth , and of increasing efforts to extend its diffusion . ¦
