      fcer character , and afforded to all her friends the consolatory assurance that her work was done—her warfare accomplished—and her meetuess for a better state complete . In the humble submission to the will of Heaven eviuced by this excellent disciple of Christ throughout the whole period of her indisposition , and the serenity with which she

      contemplated her removal from this sublunary state , we are furnished with another proof of the power of Uuitariauisni to sustain beneath affliction ' s heaviest stroke and cheer the bed of death . For her , death had no stiug , the grave no victory . To use her own expressive language , whilst adverting to the subject of her

      decease , she knew in whom she had believed , and having experienced the favour and protection of her heavenly Father in all the varying scenes of life's eventful day , she relied with confidence on his support and guidance when she should pass through the valley of the shadow of death . Those who survive and mourn

      may well lament that they shall no more participate in the pleasures and advantages of social intercourse with , one so amiable and so good ; but whilst they sorrow , they also indulge the Christian ' s hope , which " paints the lost on earth revived in heaven , ' * and this hope affords them a consolatiou which nothing earthly gives nor can destroy .

      Mr . Henry Atkinson , ( From , the Newcastle Chronicle . ) " On Saturday last , at his house in Saville Row , after a long and painful illness , sustained with great fortitude and resignation , Mr . Henry Atkinson , schoolmaster , aged 47 years . As a mathematician , he had few equals ; and his knowledge of various other subjects was both comprehensive and accurate . As a

      man , he was an ornament to human nature , happily bleuding in his character all the more severe with the gentler virtues—alike removed from stoical severity and undignified frivolity . Uprightness and candour were qualities that had marked him from his youth , and in him was brightly exemplified what an enemy was forced to confess of a Roman , that it were easier to turn the sun from his

      course than him from his integrity . lu this alone he was stern—in this alone inflexible—and his abhorrence of a contrary practice stood prominent in all his lessons and warnings , to the men of a future day . Wheu viewed in another light , mildness aud affability softened and gave brightness to his more dignified aud manly features , and in every relation of life , as a son , a husband , a parent , a friend , and a citizen , he shone with equal

      lustre . His professional labours will be long remembered with gratitude by those minds which it was his pride and his pleasure to direct . Mr . Atkinson was the son of Mr . Cuthbert Atkinson , of Stamford ham , schoolmaster , and was born at Great Bavington , in Northumberlaud , January 28 , 1781 . He commenced teachiug iu his 13 th year , in the neighbourhood where he was born , but removed to Newcastle in 1808 . In the

      following year he became a member of the Literary and Philosophical Society , from which time until his death he was one of its most distinguished members . He was chosen one of the committee of that society in 1817 , and was re-elected every succeeding year , until the last anniversary , wheu he declined on account of bad health . The following is a list of the papers he has written : —

      " 1809 . A new Method of extracting the Roots of Equations of the higher Orders . " 1810 . An Essay on the Eclipses of Jupiter's Satellites , and ou the Mode of determining the Longitude , &c , by their Means . " 1811 . A Demonstration of two curious Properties of Square Numbers ,
