TEMPLE UNITY ROWING CLUIL—PAIR-OARSIj RACE
FOR A PAIR OF SILVER OARS.—The pair-oared race
among the members of this club came off yesterday after-
noon over the course between Battersea and Wandsworth
meadows. The results were as follows :
Blue.—W. Bowles and W. W00d... 1
Pink.—J. Norton and J. Dyer
White.—R. Sanders and G. Stanway ...... 3
Red.—R. Cracknell and G. Hurst.
The race between Blue and Pink was very good through-
out, but the winners, who were the favourites, led after two
or three strokes, and maintained it throughout, closely
pressed by Pink, who were only beaten by fort- lengths.
The others were a long way behind, and Red did not finish
the distance.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £lo.—One of the most spirited
scullers' races ever witnessed was rowed yesterday after-
noon, for the above amount, £5 a side, 'between Daniel
Gillam and Henry Hastings, two members of the Black-
friars Aquatic Club. Fred. Pocock having been chosen..

DECLINE uOF NITARIANIS3I.—The Inquirer
(Unitarian organ) has the following remarks on the decline
of Unitarianism :—" Year by year our congregations grow
weaker--often in numbers, more often still in social influ-
ence and relative importance. It is but a short t n:e sine
the treasurer of one of our institutions assured ns that the
denomination to which we belong is gradually changing
its character altogether, and that he now drewhis subscrip-
tion from the lower grade in the middle class. Or if
we take individual congregations, we find the same re-
sult; and Wakefield, Exeter, and Norwich, are but indivi-
dual examples of a universal rule. Liverpool has doubled
and trebled its population, and the three Unitarian con-
gregations which existed at the beginning of the century
barely maintain their ground either socially or numerically.
On the other hand, we learn from the _Leeds Mercury that
the Rev. W. Forster, of Kentish-town, who quitted the
Independent body some time ago and joined the Unitarians,
spoke at Sund6rland at the settlettent of the Rev. C.
Matthews as Unitarian minister there. Mr. Forster said
this was the third minister, formerly orthodox, whoni
he had introduced ; that his own congregation Rutni:
bered many from the independents, Baptists, and E-
ga
blished Church; that many Independent ininisters di,%l
not believe what they preached—and among them a "pet
minister—and that some were Unitarians.
