SUSSEX. 
Died.} At Brighton, Mrs. A. M. Ben- 
nett. This lady, whose remembrance will 
long be cherished with grateful fondness, by 
those whose happiness it was to experience 
her friendship, and who has left a numerous 
family to regret her irreparable loss, was 
justly celebrated as a writer, among that 
class of readers whose zest is for novels, and 
in which line she may be ranked with a 
Fielding and a Richardson. Possessed of a 
well-informed and highly cultivated mind, 
she delineated character with peculiar suc- 
cess, and had all the other requisites of an 
excellent novellist, description, sentiment, 
humour, and pathos ; considerable knowledge 
of life, and the happy art of displaying that 
knowledge to advantage. Her first work was 
Anna, or the Welch Heiress, i in four volumes, 
an impression of which was disposed of on the 
day of publication. She afterwards wrote, 
Juvenile Indis< retious, in five volumes. 
Agnés de Courci, in four volumes. Elen, 
Countess of Castie Howell, in four volumes. 
The Beggar Girl and her BeneZactors, in five 
volumes. ‘The last effusion of her pen, that 
was presented to the public was, Vicissicudes 
Abroud, or the Ghost of my Father, in six 
yalitmes 5 3 of which, two thousand copies were 
sold on the day it made its appearance; and 
we understand the public will soon receive @ 
continuation of this novel, under the title of 
Vicissitudes at Home. The estimation in 
which her works are held by the public, may 
Be justly inferred from the circumstances of 
ther having gone rapidly through several 
editions, both here and on the continent, 
» whese they have been translated into French

and German. It may be truly said, that her 
writings appeal most sieces aiully. to the 
heart, ‘and that her pen was ever guided by 
nature delineating men and manners, as they 
appear in real life; virtue was held up to- 
estimation, and vice and folly shewn in their 
native deformities. The solemn procession 
arrived, from Brighten, at the Horns, on 
Kennington-common, about twelve o'clock, 
where it was joined by a numerous and most 
respectable train of friends, who attended her 
remains to the grave, anxious to pay that last 
tribute to the memory of departed worth, 
but whose works will tive, so long as a chaste 
style and dignified sentiments, expressed in 
the cause of virtue and morality, diffuse their 
influence on mankind.
