■ Died."] At Barraw College, Somerset, the 
residence of his mother; not yet arrived at 
bis 18th year, Mr. Edward Pelly j a youth, 
who, to a highly cultivated understanding, 
added those manly virtues v.'hich exalt and 
dignify the human character. An austerity 
of manners marked his progress through 
life, but this austerity can only be ascribed 
to that strict regard for truth, and that 
unbending rectitude, which inducing him to 
set aside all motives of worldly policy, led 
him to pursue the grand object of his 
highest ambition, that of faithfully dis¬ 
charging his duty. But, with a mind too 
iofty to court jawur, it was not likely tiiat 
his moral conduct, strict as it was, except 
among the “ discerning few,” would secure 
it. From a tissue of co-operating circum¬ 
stances, now happily past, but highly pain¬ 
ful in the remembrance, the deep shades of 
melancholy hung over him, and his frame 
too susceptible to gloomy impressions, at 
length gave w'ay under their increasing 
pressure. In his hours of leisure he amused 
himself with his pen, and in the excursions 
of a creative fancy rested his chief grati¬ 
fication. His poetical, added to his prose 
compositions, will remain with his friends 
as lasting monuments of His intellectual 
abilities, and the tablets of their memoirs 
will be considered sacred, as containing the 
record of departed worth -and until the 
hand which now traces this memorial lies 
cold in death, and the heart now warmed 
by the recollection of his many excellen¬ 
cies ceases to vibrate, liis remembrance will 
be held dear: and with those who have been 
influenced by his principles and animated by 
his views, there will scarcely exist a doubt 
of their securing for themselves that “crown 
of glory” which “ fadeth not away.”
