OBITUARY.

1821. Dec. 30, at Fryston Hall, near Ferrybridge, Yorkshire, aged 49, the Rev. T. LUCAS. He was seated with his family at breakfast, apparently in excellent health, when he suddenly dropped from his chair and expired without a groan or a sigh. He had discharged, for many years, the duties of domestic chaplain to Mrs. Milnes, and was formerly minister of a Presbyterian Chapel, at Morley, near Leeds.

1822. Jan. 18, in Bedford Place, after a long and most painful illness, Mrs. HEYWOOD, wife of Mr. Sergeant Heywood.

-, 31st, at Nottingham, in the 30th year of his age, the Rev. HENRY TURNER, one of the ministers of the congregation assembling in the HighPavement Chapel in that town. Of the private sorrows awakened by this early removal of a son, a brother and a husband, it is enough for those to speak, who, in the sacred retirement of a mourning home, can soothe each other by remembering how deservedly the purity of his mind, the integrity of his principles, the sweetness of his temper, and the tenderness of his heart, secured their highest esteem and warmest love. Nor is it necessary, in the page which will be read by those who knew him as their friend and former fellow-student, to repeat, what their own hearts have already told them, of his claims upon their lasting and affectionate remembrance. A subject more properly belonging to the public remains in his character as a Christian pastor. It may truly be said of him, that he had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, aud to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments." He had completely that first and great recommendation of a religious instructor, a deep feeling, as well as a firm ⚫ conviction, of religious truths. He could not understand why the best and noblest gift of God to man, should not enter into our highest enjoyments, and consecrate our sweetest affections, He beheld in religion an inmate sent down from heaven to gladden our homes, to mingle a gentle and cheerful wisdom with our social converse, and to speak continually to our friendships the promise of immortality. He believed that the purest union

[ocr errors]

of hearts and mind could be perfect only among those who "have taken sweet counsel together, and walked to the house of God in company." He thought it natural, that "they who fear the Lord should speak often one to another" of the subjects included in their noblest knowledge, and connected with their most valuable hopes. Consistently with these views of religion, the whole temper of his mind was deeply devotional; and while this temper infused a truly evangelical spirit into his public services, it proved itself, in his manners, conversation and whole, character, to be entirely removed from all affected or unseasonable gravity. His presence was never any restraint upon cheerfulness; yet it was always felt to be the presence of a religious man. With a gentle, but effectual firmness, he never failed to withhold the approbation of his countenance, at the first step beyond "the limits of becoming mirth." Nor was he restrained by any unchristian awe of talents, or learning, or eloquence, from more directly and forcibly opposing a sophistical argument, or rebuking a sceptical sneer. The constant union of steady principle with amiable manners, peculiarly fitted him to be the companion and friend, as well as the public instructor; and, happily, he had every encouragement, both in his own dispositions and those of his congregation, to make the social circle, and still more the fireside, auxiliary to the pulpit. He was truly the pastor of his flock, They were to him a sacred and beloved trust. They were all, both rich and poor, those to whom he was, by every means in his power, to prove himself a friend and brother" a helper of their joy"

a soother and comforter of their sorrow a strengthener of their hope-and a faithful guardian of their true and everlasting interests. It will be inferred, and it will be most justly inferred, that he took an earnest and active part in all their benevolent plans and useful institutions; and how valuable his assistance, how kind his care had been felt, was seen in the anxiety manifested during his illness, and in the tears which were shed at his grave, by the companions and objects of his labours. Whatever, indeed, could be done by a grateful and affectionate flock to shew their value for their pastor, has been done in their kindness to himself while living, and their unfeigned sympathy with his mourning

family. They who know what that kindness was, and how delicate and respectful have been the attentions prompted by that sympathy, cannot but feel that, even in this world, it is no mean reward of a faithful minister, to live so beloved and to die so lamented.

Feb. 24, at his house in Stratton Street, at the age of 87, THOMAS COUTTS, Esq. the banker, who, in the course of a long life of active exertion, had amassed immense wealth. He was familiar and respected in the highest circles of society, and has left numbers to lament him who were benefitted by his charities, which were habitual and eminently generous, His family consisted of daughters, for whom he formed the most honourable alliances: oue is Lady Burdett, (the wife of Sir Francis,) another, Countess of Guildford, and the third, Marchioness of Bute, who is now in Italy, on account of

her health.

Supplementary Obituary.

THE Rev. John Charlesworth, M.A. whose death is recorded, XVI. 735, is entitled to further notice, and we request some correspondent to favour us with a memoir of him. His name appears in

the list of the Petitioning Clergy in 1772, communicated by V. M. H., XVI. 15. His principles, as from this circumstance might be expected, were very liberal, aud on his occasional visits to the metropolis, he was accustomed to uuite in worship with the Unitarians. For the sake, we doubt not, of greater usefulness, he continued his connexion with the Church of

England and with its associations, and amongst the rest, the Bartlett's Buildings' Society for promoting Christian Knowledge. He published and most freely dispersed valuable tracts and practical sermons: of some of the latter an account We believe he reis given, VII. 643. printed, for gratuitous distribution, Bishop Lowth's admirable Visitation Sermon. His charity was ever ardent and active, flowing from pure Christian priuciples and a kind heart. nected with the Royal Humane Society, some of whose papers he was accustomed to carry in his pocket, in order to give away as warnings against fatal accidems, or as directions as to the conduct to be observed on their occurrence. In proof, of his Catholic spirit, it may be added, that he was accustomed for several years to make occasional presents of books out of his library to Dr. Williams's Library in Red-Cross Street.

Address from the Friends in Ireland to George the Fourth, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

May it please the King!

Ir having been the will of the Almighty to remove, by death, thy royal father, and to permit thee to ascend the throne of this realm; we, thy dutiful and faithful subjects in Ireland, of the Society of Friends, commonly called Quakers, desire thus to approach thee; and, bearing ip remembrance the long and eventful reign of thy revered father, the recollection of whose many virtues is precious to us, we gratefully acknowledge the kind disposition he evinced toward us as a society; holding, as we do, some religious sentiments different from his other subjects: thus exhibiting his feeling for conscientious scruples, and evincing thereby his own religious consideration and acknowledgment of the power of Him,

whose right it is to rule in the hearts of the children of men.

We feel bound by the ties of duty and gratitude to fidelity and attachment to thy government. We are also bound by the stronger ties of the Christian principles, which teach us submission to those in authority, and first to the King as supreme.

We look back with satisfaction to those advances in the cause of humanity, and towards the amelioration of the state of mankind, which took place in the reign of our late King; during which an act was passed, abolishing that great evil, the African Slave-Trade. And thy royal father encouraged, by his example, the zeal and efforts of his subjects in promoting the diffusion of education, and the general dissemination of the Holy Scriptures: from this the good effects have extended to neighbouring nations, and even to those that are remote.

We offer thee our respectful congratu
