At Earlham, in his 60th year, John 
Gurney, esq.— We fee] an unfeigned sorrow 
in recording the death of so excellent a fel- 
low citizen, who will be greatly missed, and 
long regretted by all who knew him. Placed 
in the centre of one of the largest mercantile 
establishments of this country, he has shewn 
no less wisdom and skilifulness, than libe- 
rality and integrity in the management of 
its extensive ramifications. But he was not 
wholly absorbed in his own concerns,. vast a8 
they were: the benevolence of his nature 
prompted-him, and the active energy of his 
mind enabled him, to dedicate a considerable 
portion of his time, to the concerns of others. 
No exertion was too great, 50 object too 
small, when the welfare of others was ip 
Norfolk—Suff olk—Evsser. 
[Dec. lj 
question.—All those who have been engaged 
with him in arbitrations, in executorships, ~ 
and in bankruptcies, can bear testimony to 
the promptness of mind, which enabled him 
to see at once the various bearings of the 
case, to the acute penetration with which he 
unravelled the intricacies of entangled ac- 
counts, and to the conciliating spirit by 
which he has saved many a family from rvin- 
ous litigation. Nor did he confiire him- 
self to the concerns of private life ; in alt 
public undertakings he was among the first 
to promote the welfare and improvement of 
his native city, and to all its charitable in- 
‘ stitutions, he contributed freely not only his 
purse but his exertions. He was a steady 
friend to civil and religious liberty, and in the 
worst of times he never shrunk from the ma- 
nifestation uf his sentiments, fearless, though 
not insensible, of the obloquy which might 
attend it. With singular judgment he 
steered in difficult times a middle course 
between the opposite extremes of party. 
But although he felt it a duty to act deci-" 
dedly, when the times called forit, he heldno 
feelings of personal hostility against his poli- 
tical opponents. Indeed he was wholly with- 
out gall; the occasion which called forth the 
exertion, once past, he instantly tendered the 
right hand of friendship to the keenest of his 
adversaries. We have hitherto dwelt on the 
useful part of Mr. Gurney’s character, but he 
largely contributed to the pleasures as well as. 
_the interest of those around him, for he was 
of a singularly cheerful nature, and of habits 
in a high degree social. ‘These he indulged 
by a constant hospitality, impossible to be 
exceeded, and by no means confined to the 
respectable religious sect of which he was a 
member, but extended very generally to his 
friends and neighbours, and to those who oc- 
casionally visited Norwich. After a life 
well spent in the discharge of the duties 
of a Christian, Mr. Gurney died in truly 
christian sentiments, distinctly expressed a 
short time before his death, in the last mo- 
ments of his unclowded reason, with a perfect 
consciousness that his disease was mortal, and 
with a resignation the most entire to the will 
of Almighty God. Mr. Gurney wasa meme - 
per of the Society of Friends; he was once . 
married, and eighteen years ago was left a wie 
dower with eleven children. All of these _ 
survive him, and would be inconsolable under 
the loss of him who. was the most tender and _ 
affectionate of parents, but for the hope that | 
is in them, .
