asserted,, that his only failings arose from an 
overfow of the milk of human kindness; that 
he was open and unsuspecting as noon-day ; 
that his heart was alwaysin his hand, and his 
benevolence unbounded ; and that the tears 
and regrets of thousands would follow him to 
the graye, with the consolatory reflection 
that he is gone to receive the reward of a 
well-spent, active, useful, and virtuous life. 
As a friend, he was sincere, and without the 
least reserve, In him wasno guile. To his 
family he was the affectionate friend, and in- 
dulgent father; and by whom he was most 
deservedly and tenderly beloved. His highest 
gratification was, to see those around him 
happy, and to contribute by every means in 
his power, to promote their pleasures and 
comfort. His manners were kind and conci- 
liating ; his temper frank, generous, and 
uncommonly cheerful. Qn the evening of 
Sunday, November 6; he was attacked with a

move. During this severe illness, his pa- 
tience, composure, and resignation, were 
truly exemplary. The activity of his mind 
continued with him to the last; and to the 
last moment he was sensible. On Monday 
morning, December 5, he was, at six o’clock, 
remarking on something that was passing ; at 
a-quarter pastsix, he gently closed his eves on 
this life, wih a look of affection and tender- 
ness to those of his family, who were then 
surrounding him. He was buried at Isling- 
ton, on Tuesday December 13. Three 
mourning coaches, filled with his relatives, 
and a few of his most intimate friends attended 
him to the grave. To these were unexpect- 
edly added, in the square, seven other mourn- 
ing ‘coaches; filled with those friends who 
were desirous of thus publicly manifesting 
theiresteem for him, and accompanying him 
to his last abode in this world. The church 
was filled, and the sorrow for the loss of such 
aman was abundantly visible,
