      of this society have always been , that I have been enabled to avail myself of favourable conjunctures for ~ the promotion of literary and scientific institutions , the education of the poor , the distribution of the Bible , and other

      important objects ; and that it is , therefore , to you that I have been , in a great degree , indebted for the distinguished testimony of public respect with which I have been lately honoured . What additional obligations I am thus

      laid under to devote that remainder of life which it may please the Supreme Disposer to allow me , to a more diligent discharge of my duty as your minister , I cannot but deeply feel . The details of plans which I meditate for this purpose-will more properly be left to another occasion ; in the meantime assure yourselves of my affecs tionat £ . and fervent prayers for all that

      is good for you in the-present life , and for your everlasting happiness in the life which is to come . ( Applause . ) Mr . R . W . Swan then spoke as follows : —Mr . Chairman , as Secretary to the Committee for conducting the subscription which has terminated so honourably to alNhe parties concerned in it , I thought it might be agreeable to the subscribers that Mr . Turner

      should be furnished with a list of their names and ^ individual subscriptions . Under this impression , Sir , I have prepared the lists which I hold in my hand , with which I now beg to present Mr . Turner . After the very

      become me to ^ indulgej'in Hiany remarks which , by diverting attention could only tend to weaken the salutary impression which that address and that reply must have made upon the minds of all who heard them . I shall , therefore , content myself , Sir , with

      briefly observing , that as the morn of Mr Turner ' s ~ life was ~ sober === as-its protracted meridian hath shone with a steady brightness—so it is my earnest prayer ( and I doubt not , all who hear me will heartily join in the prayer ) that its evening may prove cloudless , calm , peaceful , and serene ,

      The congregation then separated , highly gratified with the manner in which their tribute to moral and religious worth had been received .

      On Sunday , the 8 th of January , th ^ Rev . J . G . Robberds and the Rev . J . R . Beard , of Manchester , engaged in a service at the settlement of the Rev . F . Howorth , at Bury , whither he has been invited from Rochdale . Though but few strangers ^ were

      present * - the congregation was large , the services deeply interesting , and , we hope , as from our knowledge of both minister and people we have reason to believe , that the connexion will be lasting , and mutually and greatly beneficial .
