    mg the Rer . W . J . Fox , of London , delivered an admirable and a most appropriate discourse on the Lord ' s Prayer to a very attentive congregation , of which the greater part were strangers . The introductory service was performed by

    the Rev . H . Bowles , Jun . On Thursday morning the service was introduced by the Rev . Mr . Melville , of Ipswich ; and the Rev . W . J . Bakewell , of Norwich , preached from 2 Peter ii . 2 , on the misrepresentations of Unitarianism , and concluded with a brief statement and

    defence of its doctrines . The business of the Association was transacted in the Chapel : Mr . Errington , of Yarmouth , was called to the chair . The Report was read by Mr . R . Alger , Secretary , and was ordered to be printed . It is , on the whole , satisfactory . The Rev H . Bowles , of Yarmouth , has , by a course of Sunday-evening lectures , excited

    considerable attentiou in the town ; he had , -during the winter months , large congregations , and has , increased the regular attendance at the chapel . From Halesworth the intelligence disappointed the expectations which weie raised last year . The chapel , taken on a short lease , is at preseut closed . This unexpected result is to be attributed to the removal

    of a few zealous and respectable Unitarians , on whose active co-operation our friends calculated , and in no small degree to the influence of the grossest and most persevering misrepresentation and calumny . Mr . Latham ' s unwearied exertions have not , however , we trust ,

    been in vain ; and his missionary labours in other parts of Suffolk promise to be more successful . The Secretary gave a gratifying report of the distribution of Tracts . It is encouraging to know that these are extensively circulated , and to believe that they are , though invisibly , promoting the emancipation of the human mind from the thraldom of superstition and ignorance . The next anniversary will be held at Diss .

    More than forty of the friends of the Society dined together after the buMness was concluded . Mr . Robinson , of Bury , had been invited to take the chair , but as he was obliged to leave Yarmouth at a very early hour , lie prevailed upon Mr . E . Taylor to preside . To this

    gentleman the meeting feels greatly obliged , not only for the exertions which he made to be present on the Occasion , but also for the very able and edifying manner in . which he discharged the duties imposed upon him . The Society had to regret the absence

    Wreford , of Birmingham , introduced the religious services by prayer and reading the Scriptures ; aud the Rev . Edward Bristow , of Birmingham , delivered au appropriate and instructive discourse from the latter clause of Romans vi . 23 , in which he ably controverted the popular doctrine of the atonement , and proved that the salvation of man is effected by the free , unpurchased grace of God .

The recent repeal of the laws affecting Protestant Dissenters was a topic of much

    interest , and tended in no inconsiderable degree to heighten the enjoyment which was experienced . A lively feeling prevailed and was expressed in behalf of all men , and especially of our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects , who are sufferers for conscience' i ^ ake ; and the complete establishment of civil and religious liberty was foudly anticipated and regarded" as " a consummation devoutly to be wished .
