    At Clifton , on the 19 th of May , Fanny , wife of Michael Hinton Castle , Esq ., and fifth daughter of the late Ravvsou Hart Boddam , Esq ., fomerly governor of Bombay . The period of protracted suffering which preceded her dissolution would

    have dwelt with unmingled anguish upon the memory of the friends who witnessed it , had it not been for the submissive resignation and disciplined feeling she evinced , which shed a brightness even on the dark chamber of suffering and of death .

    After contending for nearly six months witfy a formidable disease , anxious for recovery , and attentively pursuing the means calculated to promote it , the unsubdued state of the complaint , and the

    ravages it had committed on her constitution , impressed her with a full conviction that she had not long to live . It was not without a painful struggle that she relinquished her last hope of recovery . She admitted that she felt it

    a severe tnal , blessed as she was with every thing that could render life desirable , to resign all her earthly enjoyment *; and she could not , she said , contemplate without awe " the unknown

    most perfect resignation to the Divine Will , and exhibited a state of mind alike interesting and edifying to those around her . Many , she said , in . her circumstances , derived all their support and consolation from a reliance upon the merits and sufferings of Jesus Christ , and the doctrine of the atonement , ( these were her own sentiments before she left the

    Established Church ) , but in her view the Scriptures neither required nor warranted the belief of such a doctrine ; and she was convinced that those opinions could not afford greater support and satisfaction to the dying , than she experienced in resting her hopes upon the mercy of an all-good and almighty Parent , who directed all events to answer the best

    purposes , and who had promised eternal life to the obedient and humble followers of his Son , Jesus Christ . After expressing the most kind and Christian feelings towards those who differed from her in opinion , she observed how extraordinary and unaccountable it appeared to her , that any should feel such confidence in their own judgment upon the

    doctrines of the Scriptures , as not only to decide that they were right and ail others wrong , but presumptuously to limit the favour of God , a » d the promise of eternal life to such as believed as they did , denying the blessings of the gospel to those who , with equal earnestness , equal talents , equal investigation , and equal means of ascertaining the truth , had arrived at a different conclusion .

    During the interval referred to ( from the time of her giving up all expectation of recovery to her dissolution , a period of nearly four weeks ) , when her strength enabled and her sufferings permitted her , she took an affectionate leave of her children , and of the various members of her family , by whom . she was watched with the most anxious solicitude and
