      thinly attended . The very reverse , however , proved to be the case . The attendance of friends was unusually large from Norwich , Bury , Framlirighain and Ipswich , and more than seventy ladies and

      g-cntfemen dined together at the King ' s Head , Dies . Mr . Fullagar was in the chair . We have great reason to regret the departure of this gentleman for Chichester . The cause of Unitananism in this district nas

      been much indebted to his active and welldirected exertions , and we hope and believe that his labours here will be found to have produced lasting and important results . Many judicious observations were made after dinner by Dr . Philipps , Mr . Fox , Mr . ScargiH , Mr . Perry , Mr . Toms and other friends .

      The prosperity , the field of exertion and the importance of the society , appear to be evidently increasing . Every year has added to the interest of its meeting's , and those of our friends , who attended this year for the first time , expressed their regret , that they had not before partaken a pleasure so unalloyed and so animating . . :- ¦ ¦¦ ¦ E .

      Eastern Unitarian Society * Thb Sixth Yearly Meeting of the Eastern Unitarian Society was held at Palgrave , in Suffolk , on Wednesday and Thursday , the 1 st and 2 d of July . On Wednesday evening : the service was introduced by Mr .

      Perry , of Ipswich 5 and Mr . Treleaven , of Lynn , delivered a discourse 011 the duty of implicit and active obedience to the divine commands . On Thursday morning , Mr . Treleavea read the Scriptures , Mr . Scarg-ill , of Bury St . Edmunds , prayed , and Mr . Fox , of London , preached . This discourse was -admirably adapted to shew

      how completely the Trinitarian system ^ is at variance with the language of the Scriptures , with the facts which they record , with the reasonings of Christ and his apostles , and with the discourses delivered after our Lord ' s resurrection . It proved the identification of Trinitarianism with

      those corruptions of the pure doctrine of Christ , which were expressly foretold . We scarcely renqeinber U > have heard a discourse more calculated to serve the cause of truth ; and we have great pleasure in

      announcing its intended publication . — After service , the busines s , of the Society was transacted : Meadows Taylor , Esq . of Diss , in the chair . The Report of the Committee adverted to the establishment

      of Fellowship Funds at Norwich , Palgrave and Fratnlinghain ; and urged the necessity of forming similar societies in the other churches in the Eastern district . The opening of the Unitarian chapel at Colchester was adverted to , and a hope was

      expressed that the time was not far distant when a meeting- of the Society might be held there , Sir . t * ox remarked , that it would be highly desirable to realize this hope the following year , and it was unanimously aer ^ ed , that the next yearly

      meeting should be held at Colchester , on the last Wednesday and T ^ ujtKjay in June 1610 , and that Mr . A upland should be requested to preach , "Hie : thanks of the society were voted to Mr , Fojc and Mr . Treleaven , for tljeir vj ^ a &ble services ; and la . L Marsh , f ^^' -md w . Edward
