      The Fourth Anniversary of this Society was held on Good Friday . Tea was provided in the Chapel by the young people of the congregation , when between two and three hundred persons of different persuasions sat down to a social entertainment . The Rev . B .

      Mardon , A . M ., was called to the Chair . The Chairman feelingly alluded to the late serious illness which it had pleased Divine Providence to inflict upon their respected pastor , and congratulated the congregation on his restoration to health and renewed efforts in the cause

      of pure and rational religion . Mr . Taplin then addressed the Meeting , adverting , in the language of respect and gratitude , to the time of his predecessor , the Rev . W . Vidler , by whom the foundation of the cause in that place waa laid . Mr . T . then called upon the young to emulate the spirit of their fathers , and to venerate as sacred the inheritance

      which they had received ; he expatiated at considerable length on the necessity of union and co-operation in the diffusion of Unitarian Christianity , which he contended was allied to knowledge and freedom . Mr . T . was followed by Messrs . Harding , Hughes , Badcock , Edwards and others . The meeting was attended

      by two French gentlemen of distinction . The Count de Nezas begged to express for himself and his friend the pleasure they had derived from the Unitarian Society , where they had seen a true specimen of old English hospitality , and a happy proof of the rational and liberal views of Unitarian principles .

      The Committee of the congregation think this a favourable opportunity of stating , that since their case appeared in Vol XXI . p . 634 of the Old Series of the Monthly Repository , they have received but three subscriptions towards the liquidation of the Chapel debt , viz . the British and Foreign Uuitariau Association , i ? 25 ; Fiiisbury Fellowship Fund ,

      i ? 10 ; Hackney Fellowship Fund , £ 5 . They again earnestly solicit the assistance of the Unitarian public , and hope that their appeal will not be in vain . Battle is an important situation for the diffusion of Unitarian Christianity , and it is to be hoped that our brethren in different parts of the country will not allow its success to be impeded by a debt of £ 160 . Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the Rev , W . J . Fox , Dalston ;

      Meeting' of the Edinburgh Continental Society , held in the Assembly Room in that City on the 20 th of March . The Chairman stated that the object of the Society was to convert the Continental Catholics , Socinians , Arians , Mologists and Rationalists , to the doctrines of the gospel . One portion of the Continent was involved in worse than

      heathen darkness and superstition , and the other in scepticism and irreligion . He had heard one of the most eminent of the Socinian preachers in London state , that as the heroes of antiquity were venerated for their virtues , so Christ was glorified in consequence of his excellent character .

      Dr . Gordon read the report , which characterized Arians and Socinians as merely nominal Christians , who were in the region of the shadow of death , in deplorable ignorance of divine thiugs , U \ -
