Married.] Mr. William Rose, of Boxford, 
to Miss E. Wright, youngest daughter of 
William W, esq. of Coshall. 
Died.} The Rev. John Brand, M.A. 
rector of St. George, Southwark, and vicar 
of Wickham, Skeith, in this county. He 
was formerly of Caius College, Cambridge, 
where he proceeded A.B. 1766. A.M. 1769. 
When he had obtained the latter degree, he 
wrote an ethical essay, entitled ** Con- 
science,” intended as a candidate for one of 
the Seatonian prizes; but an accidental delay 
which it met with ugon the road, occasioned 
its being presented to the vice-chancellor 
two days after the appuinted time, and on 
that account, it could not be admitted to 
the competitions. Mr. Brand, however, pub- 
lished his poem in a quarto pamphlet, in 
1772, and it met with applause for some 
bold and poetical passages which it contains. 
His subsequent publications have been:-— 
6¢ Obsetvations on some of the probable Ef- 
fects of Mr. Gilbert’s Bill, (with Remarks de- 
duced from Dr. Price’s Account of the National 
Debt);” a pamphlet, 8vo. 1776. ‘*The Alter- 
- ation ofthe Constitution of the House of Com- 
mons,and the Inequality of the Land-tax Con- 
sidered conjointly,” a pamphlet 8vo, 1795. 
«© A Sermon, on Luke xix. 41. 49. preached 
on the occasion of the Fast, Feb. 28. 1794,” 
Ato. and ** Considerations on the Depression 
of the Funds, and the present Embarrassments 
of Circulation; with Propositions for some 
Remedies to each,” a pamphlet, 8vo. 1797, 
The profundity and ingenuity of Mr. Brand’s 
political pamphlets, gained him very distin- 
guished credit. He was an excellent calcu- 
lator, a powerful reasoner, and a very acute, 
and able writer. Of the pamphlet on the 
Alteration of the Constitution of the House 
of Commons, and the Inequality of the 
Land-tax, it may be said in particular, that 
the press has seldom produced a more mas- 
terly production.

At Bary, Mrs. Hubbard.—Mrs. Plumb, 
wife of Mr.P. schoolmaster.—-Mrs.Rogers,71. 
At Eye, Thomas Nash, esq. surgeon, 59. 
By whose death the public have to regret the 
Joss of an eminent and skilful practitioner, 
his friends a most generous dnd convivial 
companion, amongst a large circle of whom 
he was sincerely respected. He served the 
office of bailiff of the borough of Eye six 
months, with the greatest integrity. 
At Stradbrook, Mr. Simon Borrett, 75. 
At Cretingfeld, Dr. Rodbard, formerly 
an eminent physician at Ipswich, 84.

[March 1; 
Richard Shepherd, D.D. formerly of Corpus 
Christi-college, Oxford, rector of Wetherden, 
and Helmingham, in this county, and arch- 
deacon of Bedford, 78.—He was an instance 
of very considerable erudition, united with 
rare condescension ; and though he filled an 
office of dignity in the church, he was not 
the less attentive to the humbler, but 
equally important duties of a parish-priest. 
In him the poor will long deplore the loss of 
a kind benefactor, and all of a zealous pastor. 
His publications, which are various, all 
breathe the spirit of a mild benevolence 5 
and evince the liberal and enlightened divine, 
added to the pious and rational phifosopher. 
At Palgrave, Mrs. Lloyd, the wife of the 
Rev. C. Lloyd. The situation in which she 
had been for many years placed, was arduous 
and important. In addition to the care of a 
young, numerous, and increasing family of 
her own, she bad to superintend the domestic 
concerns of a flourishing school of the first 
respectability.. The accurate judgment, un- 
remitting care, aud maternal kindness, with 
which she performed her duty in this capa 
city, secured the esteem, and excited thé gra~ 
titude of all concerned. As a wife, her me- 
mory will always be revered by him whe 
knew her by that endearing name. Her loss 
to him is thé loss of a steady, faithful, and 
affectionate, friend, and of a calm, dispassion- 
ate, and judicious, monitor. As a mother, - 
her affection for her children, though ardent. - 
and uniform, was always tempeted by pru- 
dence and judgment. ‘Too wise, too compas- 
sionate to sacrifice their future interests to 
the gratification of the humours and fancies 
of childhood, her aim was to check, as it rose, 
every improper feeling, and rectify, in its 
birth, every wrong idea peculiar to this age 3 
to inculcate and exact obedience to precepts 
which had reference to the whole of their 
existence, which contemplated their useful- 
ness and respectability here, and their eternal 
happiness hereafter. [n forming an opinion 
upon any subject, she exercised the most ma- 
ture deliberation; but when once her conclu- 
sions were drawn, when the course of conduct 
which she ought to follow was clearly ascer- 
tained, she pursued it with a perseverance 
which nothing could abate. In her were hap- 
pily united firmness of mind and suayity of 
manners, In ail the trials and dangers of life, 
she was perfectly calm and collected; an en 
tire stranger to every boisterous and angry 
passion. A character so amiable, so eminent- 
ly and steadily virtuous, could not fail to 
obtain universal respect and esteem. Every 
tongue is cloguent in her praise. Poverty 
blesses her memory, and bedews her grave 
The powerful 
principles of rational religion were the seed 
from which sprang such an abundant harvest 
of good works. Her God»was her father, and 
her brethren mankind. ‘The first alarming 
symptoms of the fatal disorder which termi-
