    to Mr . sispland , requesting him to convey it to Mrs . Hughes , with expressions of the liveliest gratitude for her numerous and highly useful literary productions , and the most cordial respect of the Subscribers .

    On the health of Mr . Parkes , and thanks to him for his handsome donation , being given—that gentleman rose and said , he had two favours to ask of the company , which he trusted they would readily grant him . The first was , that

    every Subscriber would demand his allotment of Tracts , and endeavour to find means of distributing them ; the secondy that every Subscriber present would strive to make the Society as extensively known as he possibly could and as it justly merited .

    Clapton , March 27 , 1822 . Sir , I beg leave to inform the Subscribers to Dr . Priestley ' s Works , that Vol . XXI ., which concludes the theological part , will be ready for delivery at my friend Mr Eaton ' s , 187 , High-Holborn , on Saturday , April 20 th .

    1 have found , on a late examination , so large a number of the former volumes for which subscribers have not applied , that I cannot but request them to consider the great pecuniary inconvenience

    imposed by such neglect , upon an Editor , unavoidably occupied in the literary duties of an undertaking , laborious and unproductive ; except of the high gratification afforded by the prospect of accomplishing a favourite , and , as he trusts , no useless

    project . I am , however , indebted to many subscribers , for their prompt attention to the notices which 1 had deemed sufficient , and which hare always appeared in your Repository , when any volume was ready

    for delivery . Of such subscribers , ( excepting those with whom I am in correspondence , ) 1 have only to request that they would procure Vol . XXI . from Mr . Eaton , sending at the same time their full address , that I may correct my list , which I have reason to fear is , as to

    some names and places , very inaccurate . Subscribers who have not received the whole of the 18 Volumes , now ready for delivery , I must request immediately to apply by letter to Mr . Smallfield , Printer , Homeiton , Middlesex , mentioning what volumes they have received , and directing where the rest , with Vol . XXI ., shall be sent , adding an order for paymen t m London .

    As the Subscribers are generally readers of your work , I trust that these requests will come under the observation and be favoured with the attention ot those whom they concern . A very few copies of Or . Priestley ' s Works are yet at the service of any who may wish ° possess them . __ j . t . nurr .

    Greenock and Port-Glasgow Unitarian Chapel . The Subscribers to the Greenock and Port-Glasgow Unitarian Chapel are respectfully informed , that on Sunday , January 20 th , 1822 , the Chapel built at Port-Glasgow was opened for the worship of Almighty God . Friends were present from Greenock , Glasgow , Paisley and Renfrew . Three Sermons were delivered

    in the course of the day by the Rev . George Harris , of Liverpool , to deeply attentive audiences . In tbe afternoon , ttic Rev . David Rees , of the University of Glasgow , concluded the devotional services ; and the Rev . David Logan delivered his acceptance of the pastoral office to the Port-Glasgow Congregation . The

    chapel is a very neat and commodious building , and there is a house , ultimately intended for the use of the minister of the place , under it . The whole expense will not exceed . £ 500 , which will leave but a small debt to be discharged . The buildings arc secured to seven trustees , of whom the Rev . George Harri / s is one ,

    and there is a clause inserted in the deed securing the property to the UnitariAjJ Fund , should Unitarian worship be dig . continued in the Chapel . Of this , h owever , there is little fear , as the prospect

    at Port-Glasgow and in its neighbourhood is very encouraging . The morning and evening sermons , delivered by Mr . H arris are published , at the unanimous request of the congregations which heard them delivered .
