On Tuesday morning, May 19, at half-past one o'clock, died, suddenly, of
a fit of apoplexy, in the 56th year of his age, the Rev. Samuel
Saunders, for nine years pastor of the Baptist church assembling in
Byrom-street, Liverpool. By this sudden and painful stroke the church is
clad in mourning, and a deep and solemn impression is made in the town
at large. A memoir of the deceased may soon be expected.

IRISH CHRONICLE.
JUNE, 1835.
An esteemed correspondent, in forwarding recently a valuable
contribution to the funds of the Baptist Irish Society, most justly
remarks, "The Society has walked, perhaps more than any other, 'by
faith, and not by sight.'" And, perhaps, whatever difficulties may have
attended its walk, no society has received greater encouragement calmly
to pursue "the even tenor of its way," or to "walk by the same rule,"
and to "mind the same thing." At the same time, it may not be improper
to remind the considerate and generous benefactors of the institution,
that "the administration of this service not only supplieth the wants of
the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God."
It is intended, Providence permitting, to hold the approaching Annual
Meeting of the Society at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate Street,
on Friday morning, the 19th instant. Breakfast at six o'clock, and the
chair to be taken at seven precisely. It is expected that the Rev.
William Thomas, of Limerick, one of the society's earliest agents, will
be present, and communicate to the meeting much interesting
intelligence.
On the previous Monday, the 15th instant, the claims of the society will
be advocated, at the Rev. J. E. Giles's chapel, Salters' Hall, by the
Rev. E. Steane, of Camberwell, who has kindly consented to preach the
Annual Sermon. Service to commence at half-past six in the evening.
