In the 68th year oF his age, Sir John 
Carter, Knight, of Portsmouth, 
whom the loss of no individual of that place 
could possibly be more generally lamented, 
er more deeply regretted. ‘Though it fre- 
guentty happens that good men ¢o not re- 
cejve while living their tull desert of praise, 
yet at his name the tengue of slander was 
tate ; the breath of calumny was dissipated, 
and the malevolence of party subsided, and 
nutwithstanding he has taken a very active 
part as a magistrate, no one has ever ventured 
t® charge him with a subversion of the laws, 
in any single instance, but al! unite in as- 
serting his character to have been irreproach 
able. Asa magistrate, he was vigilant, but 
not inquisiterial: firm, yet sv much inclined 
to the side of mercy, that culpritsthought it 4 
peculiar happiness to have him for their 
judge. He was-several times mayer of the 
Borough of Portsmouth, ands often was his 
administration marked by a mild and placid 
exercise of the civil authority. He likewise 
ence served as sheriff for the county. Asa 
citizen, he was conspicuous for a steady in- 
flexible attachment to the cause of liberty, 
civil and religious ; and as often as a contested 
élection has taken place in the county, never 
failed of giving it a cordial and an effective 
suppert.- To his influence tuo principally it 
was, that that luminary of the law, Lord 
Erskine, owed his seat in the house of'Com- 
mons, ds representative for the borough for 
tiany years. As a christian, he was sincere, 
pious, unafiected, und attended regularly the 
wnitarian meeting-house at that place. He 
was one of the first members of the unitarian 
society, established in the southern district, 
wid by his exampie contributed not a litt!e to 
give energy and respectability to the cause. 
As a man, he was upright i in principle, uni- 
formly consistent in practice, and his chari- 
ties which were numerous, bere internal evi- 
dence of their being the effect uf pure disin- 
terested benevolence, rether than of osten- 
tation, or a desire to be thought charitabie. 
in ‘tite more endear ng relations of husband, 
father, friend, he was all that can be implied 
by these terms. To enumerate e-ch parti- 
cular of such-a character, would be an end- 
less task, as virtue, probity, and integrity, 
were in him eminestly conspicuous, he may 
without exaggeration, be termed a model of 
human excellency.

The manufacture of broad-cloth is on the 
increase in this county. We know not to 
what circumstance this is to be attributed, ia 
the present restricted state of our conimercey

manufactured in the last’ year, which is a 
greater quantity than was ever manufactured 
in any one year before.

very moderate suoscription of five shillings”

economy in the management: of its affairs, 
been able to purchase nearly two hundred vo-’
