      DOMESTIC . Annual Meeting of the " Methodist Unitarians ' . " Sir , The Annual Meeting of the Unitarians of Newchurch , Rochdale , Padiham , &c , ( who have been distinguished by the name " Methodist Unitarians , " ) was

      held iu Rochdale , on Friday the 15 th day of June , when the Rev . J . Taylor , of Rivington , preached in the morning an excellent sermon from Acts xvii . 6 ; and the Rev . G . W . Elliott , of Rochdale , performed the devotional service ; and the

      Kev . G . Harris , of Liverpool , preached a masterly sermon in the evening , from Isaiah lii . 5 , on the Causes of Deism and Atheism , which , he said , arose out of reputed orthodoxy and the tyranny of priestcraft ; and the Rev . W . Allard , of Hury , performed the devotional service . The congregations were very large , respectable and attentive . Several

      ministers of the Presbyterian Unitarians were present , who appeared to take a lively interest in the business of the day . The meeting was composed of Unitarians from Liverpool , Hindley , Chowbent , Bury , Manchester , Duckenfteld , Oldham , Todmorden ,

      1821 . May 5 , at St . Helena , aged 52 , the imperial exile , Napoleon Buonaparte . The death of this man , who once made the nations tremble , has produced some sensation in Europe , and particularly in France . Of his singular character we may say something hereafter .

      lowship Fund , namely £ 5 , towards liquidating the remaining debt upon the Oldham Chapel ; £ 5 , towards the Newchurch Chapel ; and ^ 10 , towards the Rochdale Chapel . An account was then given of the progress of Unitarianism at all the places in connexion with the Association , which would take too much room in your

      valuable pages , if it would not be too tedious to your readers , to give you in detail . The work , however , is advancing with a steady march . The Sunday-schools connected with the chapels were reported to be in a nourishing condition ; that at Rochdale , with its branch at Lane-head

      consisting of near four hundred scholars . The debts upon the Chapels , though heavy , particularly at Rochdale , are about £ 20 less upon each than at the last meeting . It is very desirable that these debts should be removed , and we hope the Committees of the numerous

      Fellowship Funds , and our rich brethren , will remember that we are poor people—that our preachers conduct public worship , preaching twice , and sometimes three times , every Lord ' s day in three chapels , besides rooms and private houses , and for all their labour put together ,

      including all exhibitions , do not receive fifty pounds a-year . Christians should bear one another ' s burdens , and the strong should bear the infirmities of the weak ; and no sect has greater reason to do so than Unitarians , for if they do not , as a body , help themselves , they must have help from nobody .

      The reporter from Padiham stated , that their room was small and unpleasant , and totally unfit to keep a Sunday-school in it , the want of which was much lamented—that he had sought the village through for a better , but had not been able to procure one , nor was it at all
