state of thougliUess indifference 

 respecting their future existence. 

 At Gloucester, Mr. John Rus- 

 sell, late keeper of the prison in 

 that city ; a man who was remark- 

 able for his kindness and humani- 

 ty to those unfortunate persons 

 who were committed to his care. 

 It is a fact not generally known, 

 that no adequate provision is 

 made for the support of these per- 

 sons, who, were it not for the con- 



tributions of the charitable and 

 humane, must often experience 

 the most severe privations. To 

 the credit of Mr. Russell, it ought 

 to be known, that he appropriated 

 more than half his salary to this 

 benevolent purpose : and to the 

 humanity of the keeper, and libe» 

 ral contributions of a benevolent 

 lady, these poor creatures were 

 often indebted for a comfortable 

 meal.
