    Unitarian Fund and Association . The Nineteenth Anniversary of the Unitarian Fund was held on Wednesday , the 25 th inst ., at the Finsbury Chapel . The devotional services were conducted by . the Rev . W . Chinnock , of

    Billingshurst , and the sermon was preached by the Rev . C Berry , of Leicester . The preacher , from Acts xx . 20 , suggested some considerations in recommendation of Christian zeal , which , from the truly Christian simplicity and fervour of the discourse , could not fail of impressing

    every hearer . After the religions service , J . T . Rutt , Esq ., was called to the Chair , and the business of the Society was transacted . The Committee ' s Report , read by the Rev . W . J . Fox , the Secretary , was unusually interesting , especially that part of it which related to Christianity in

    India . It appears that very liberal subscriptions have been made towards the support of the Rev . W . Adam as an Unitarian Missionary at Calcutta , as well as towards the erection ofs an Unitarian Chapel in that city . The Society expressed a strong desire to forward both

    these objects ; and as our American brethren are equally zealous in their promotion , there can be no doubt of their accomplishment . [ The lists of subscribers , both to the Missionary and the Chapel , will be hereafter published . We hear with pleasure that sums for the former

    of these pur pones have been transmitted to India from the friends at Liverpool . ] The Report Ls to be printed in the next Fund Register . A discussion took place on the projected Unitarian Association on a comprehensive plan , and the meeting adjourned to the next day at the London Tavern to take it into

    consideration ; when the new Society was formed on the plan which will be found stitched up with the present Number , and the Unitarian Fund and the Unitarian Association for the Protection of Civil ^ Rights were formally unite ! with it . To the plan is attached the list of officers for the new Institution . —On the

    Wednesday , the friends of the Unitarian Fund diuod together at the London Tavern , in number about 300 , Wm . Smith , Esq ., M . l \ , in the Chair . Many intereet ^ ng speeches were delivered by the Chairman , Mr . Fox , and others , which we regret that we have no means of reporting . The Report i > f the Unitarian Aasooia-

    Subscriptions for the Spread of Unitarianism in India . Sir , I ha . ve the gratification of announcing to the readers of the Monthly Repository , that the statement recently circulated

    ( chiefly amongst the ministers of our denomination ) of the necessity of contributing to the support of the Rev . W . Adam , if his services as an Unitarian Missionary at Calcutta were to be retained , has called forth the most prompt , general , and encouraging assurances of support .

    There is no longer any doubt about Mr . Adam ' s being enabled to remain at his important station ; and I confidently hope that such arrangements will , through the zeal and liberality of the Unitarian public , be found practicable , as will place the Unitarian cause in British India on a

    firm and lasting basis . By letter or personal communication , I have been favoured with intimations of annual assistance towards this great object ( besides those from individuals , and liberal donations from the York students

    and others , which will be hereafter announced ) from the ministers , or other authorized persons , connected with the following congregations : Several of those in London and its neighbourhood , Plymouth , Lynn , Norwich , Exeter , Wolverhampton , B rid port , Stockton , Sheffield ,

    Manchester , ( Moseley Street and Cross Street , ) Kendal , Yarmouth , Kidderminster , Halifax , Bradford , York , Wakeneld , Todmorden , Brighton , Leeds , Evesham , Newcastle , Derby , Chichester , Yeovil , Bristol , and indirectly from Chesterfield and Birmingham ( New Meeting : ) .

    Although some of these letters contain definite statements of the support which may ]) C relied upon from that particular society ,. yet as others consist ot promises of collections , &c ., which it is intended speedily to make , or report subscri ptions

    which are yet in progress ; and as fresh communications arrive daily , i must postpone till next month any more particular acknowledgment t > my correspondents . It will then be p racticable for me to couvey a ' more adequate idea of what I cannot but regard as the most
