      death vrith the feelings of an enlightened faith and a rational piety . In the seasop of endurance lie had not to learn differen t principles from those which had animated him in the season of exertion and of hope . He had thought with habitual

      seriousness arid reverence of God in the brightness of his earthly prospects , and he could tfek& of the satne Befrtg with confidence when the brightness was becoming dim . With marry reasons to make life dear and pleasant , he was not afraid to die ; and with a full feeling of

      the pain which attends the separation of affectionate hearts , he forgot ttbt the promised joy of their re-union * It will readily be believed , that the death of such a man has been a loss not merely to his profession Or to his private friends ; .

      Many were the sliicere prayers which followed him to the shores of a foreign land ; and many were the hearts made sad by the tidings that he was id return no iflore . la his native city he had not only entered with ardour into every useful and honourable exercise of his talents in

      connexion with his profession , but had shewn a lively interest in every thing that he thought likely to promote the general improvement and welfare of society . The Christian congregation to which he belonged has lost in him a

      most valuable and exemplary member . The minister of that congregation has lost in him ( and deeply does he feel the loss ) a judicious friend , a willing adviser and ericourager and helper in every plan of Christian edification j one of whose character lie could think with

      satisfaction , and to whose example he could safely direct the attention of the young as they rose to manhood ; one whose conversation , conduct and influence , would be sure to recommend in the intercourses

      of daily life , the wisest lessons and most earnesr exhortations of the pulpit . In the grief of such a loss it is soothing to think that there may be some who have caught from him the sparks of a kindred fire . His continuance has indeed been

      short , but it cannot have been in vain . He has lived long enough to add another proof that the way of wisdom is a way of pleasantuess and peace—long enough to shew the value of piety and virtue when admitted into close combination

      with the business and hopes of the present life—and , though not long enough for the affections and wishes of his friends , yet long enough to remain a dear and sacred and improving subject of their remembrance . J . G . R . —fc —

      ADDITION . Baron Maseres . ( P . 364 . ) His religious creed was contained in a very narrow compass , and his Surviving friends will never forget the solemn manner in which he used very frequently to introduce it . There are three creeds , he

      would say , that are generally acknowledged in the Christian world , contradictory in several respects to each other , and two of them composed by nobody knows whom , and nobody knows where . My creed is derived from my Saviour , and the time when and the manner in

      which it was uttered , gives it a title to pre-eminence . A few hours before his death , in an address to his Father , Christ says , This is eternal life to know thee the only true God ; and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent , " This is ray creed , and happy would it be for the Christian

      wovl ( l if it had been content with it and never laid down any other articles for a common faith- Hence ail the disputes almost , which set Christians at variance with each other , and which arise chiefly from scholastic terms , misunderstood and misapplied , he would confiue to the clo-

      On Saturd ay * -May- 15 , at St . fves , Hunts , in the 20 th year of her age , Harriet Euza ,. < daughter of Thomas Escolme FiSHBfe , of that place , Attorney at Law . Possessed of a srupei ior mind > she bore a long and lingering illness with

      Christian fortitude - and humble submission to the will of the Deity . Highly aeeomprlished , but diffident and unassuming , that worth was appreciated by her Mends , ~ of which she herself was unconscious . The goodness of her heart and the sweetness of her disposition

      endeared her to all who knew her , whilst her modest walk and conduct in life afforded a pattern to all of her own sex . Truly affectionate to her surviving parent , she was most fervently beloved by him ,

      who with long and unremitting attention and anxiety endeavoured , but vainly endeavoured , to ward off the impending blow which crushed at once the hopes of years . Her friends will long revere and cherish her memory .
