Sept. 21, at Duffield, in the county of Derby, aged 34, ELIZABETH, wife of the Rev. E. O. JONES, of that place. About two months before her demise, she had given birth to a daughter; from that time her strength and health gradually declined. A constitution naturally delicate could not, under such circumstances, long support the vital principle; and, without pain or much suffering, quit ted the present scene.

With the most amiable disposition of mind and heart, Mrs. Jones united affability of manners and kindness to all. As a friend and companion, she was so. ciable, sincere, affectionate and attached. As a mother, she was rivetted to her numerous family of little ones, by the warmest ties of tenderness and maternal solicitude. As a wife, she evinced the kindest love and duty. Her time, while health and life remained to her, was entirely devoted to the good and interest of her family; and within that circle she exhibited the greatest industry and desire for their comfort and happiness. She has left behind her, to console the partner of her joys and sorrows, six innocent and beautiful little beings, as pledges of that happy connexion, which is soon to be renewed in a happier and more durable state.

During life she felt the influence of religion seated and rooted in the heart, which she exhibited unaccompanied by external pomp and affectation; and in the hour of her departure she was supported and cheered by the prospects which it exhibits. As the tenor of her life was calm and unruffled, so was her end peaceful and easy; for her gentle spirit quitted its earthly tabernacle without a groan or a struggle, and now rests on the bosom of its God. A few Sundays after her decease, a most excellent and consoling discourse was preached on the mournful occasion, at Duffield, by the Rev. D. P. Davies, of Makeney, to a small, but deeply affected congregation.

which line he claimed as his great uncle the celebrated Lord Bolingbroke. This nobleman, however, was not alone indebted to consideration from elevated birth, but had a much stronger claim to public consideration, as a man most preeminently gifted with capaciousness and energy of mind, improved by unremitting study. At the commencement of the French Revolution, Count du Roure associated himself with the Republican party; not that class of demagogues who merely assumed the title to gloss over their ambitious views, or as a means of gratifying their thirst of gain, but those who acted from conviction, and supported their tenets with undeviating fortitude under the very hatchet of the guillotine. Throughout the consulate of Buonaparte, the Count remained stedfast to his political creed, and when that dignity was changed to the Imperial title, no overtures whatsoever could shake the honest integrity of his mind, though the Prefecture of a Department and the dignity of a Senator would have been the recompence of an abandonment of principle. Although the Count's name has not appeared to any literary production of consequence, he has not the less contributed to enhance the value of the labours of others; and during the period of the Revolution, a multiplicity of anonymous writings, as well as the harangues delivered by many public characters, were the production of his pen. As a grammarian, no Frenchman was ever more thoroughly versed in the niceties of his language, and few natives of our own country could boast of possessing a more intimate acquaintance with our literature and language, of which he gave an unequivocal proof in his "Nouveau Maitre D' Anglais," published at Paris, in 1816. The writer, who has been intimately acquainted with the deceased for many years, cannot terminate this just tribute to the memory and extraordinary acquirements of his departed friend, without stating, that, when considered in the light of a universal philanthropist, he was never surpassed, his constant exclamation being directed against warfare, and the effusion of human blood. He was frank and sincere in an eminent degree, and scrupulously tenacious of his word on all occasions.-Morning Chronicle.

Oct. 13, by shipwreck, Mr. ROBERT GARLAND, youngest son of Mr. William Garland, of Gedney, near Loug Sutton, Lincolnshire. This melancholy event was briefly adverted to in the last number, p. 647. The body of this amiable young man has not been found. We regret, however, to learn, that the feelings of his bereaved and distressed parents have been agitated by a report in the newspapers of a body, supposed to be that of a youth, having been washed on shore, near the part where it is supposed the wreck took place, but in too mutilated a state to be identified. The writer of this short tribute of respect having some years since been a frequent and delighted witness to the tender solicitude manifested by the parents of the deceased towards all their offspring, most of them of delicate constitutions-the fraternal affection, modesty and love of virtue displayed by his elder brothers-and learning that the deceased imitated their worthy examplecannot but feel and express the liveliest sympathy with the agonized parents and relatives who have to mourn his irreparable loss. He trusts, however, that they will be enabled, when affection shall have dropped the tears which nature demands and religion permits, to acquiesce in the mysterious will of that great and good Being whom they devoutly worship and whose love they cannot doubt. The interest excited and the sympathy manifested in consequence of this fatal catastrophe have afforded the Rev. N. Walker, of Wisbeach, an opportunity of preaching a funeral sermon, which, it is hoped, may have administered consolation to the mourners, and serious admonition to those who are unaccustomed to think of death as near. Oh that men were wise, that they would consider their latter end!

Addition to Obituary.

REV. JOHN OWEN, A.M.

(See p. 640.)

The following honourable tribute has been paid to his memory by the Bible mittee of the British and Foreign Bible Society.-" "At a Meeting of the ComSociety, September 30, 1822, The Right Honourable Lord TEIGNMOUTH, Presi. dent, in the Chair,

"The President stated, that he had now to discharge the melancholy duty of reporting to the Committee the death of their Secretary, the Rev. John Owen,

which took place on Thursday the 26th of September, at Ramsgate.

"In adverting to the afflicting dis pensation which has deprived the British and Foreign Bible Society of the invaluable services of its late Secretary, the Committee cannot resist the impulse of duty and affection, thus to record their grateful testimony to his zeal and unwearied exertions.

"As no one was more deeply impressed with a sense of the great importance of the Institution to the best interests of mankind, no one laboured more strenuously and effectually to promote its influence and prosperity. To this object, which was ever near to his heart, his time, his talents and his personal labours, were unremittingly devoted. The correspondence which his official situation imposed on him, was alone sufficient to occupy the time which he could spare from his professional duties; but the energies of a superior mînd enabled him to extend his care and attention to every branch of the multifarious concerns of the Society, and to accomplish more than could have been expected from individual efforts. His pen and his voice were incessantly employed in its cause. The former was frequently and vigorously exercised in elucidating the principles of the Institution, or in defending its character and conduct against misrepresentation or aggression. To his pen the world is indebted for a luminous and authentic history of the origin of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and its progress during the first fifteen years of its existence in which the characters of truth and impartiality are throughout conspicuous: while his eloquence, so often and successfully displayed in advocating the cause of the Institution, impressed on his audiences that conviction of its utility, which he himself so strongly felt, and which the progressive experience of eighteen years has now so amply confirmed.

"But his eloquence was entitled to a higher praise; it was the effusion of a heart in which candour and liberality ever predominated; it was characterized by that suavity of disposition which had endeared him to the affectionate esteem, not only of his colleagues and the Com

mittee, but of all who were in any way associated with him in transacting the business of the Society; while his great and diversified talents commanded general respect and admiration, and never failed to produce in public meetings, an harmonious feeling of mutual regard among all who had the privilege of attending them.

"In the year 1818, Mr. Owen, at the suggestion of the Committee, undertook a journey to the Continent, principally with a view to the recovery of his health, which had materially suffered in the cause of the Institution; but also for the purpose of visiting the Bible Societies in France and Switzerland.

"Of his conduct during this excursion, it is sufficient to say, that it tended to raise the reputation of the lastitution of which he was the representative; and to cement that happy union which had so long subsisted between the British and Foreign Bible Society and its Continental associates; and that his advice and experience were eminently useful in forming arrangements for the establishment of new societies, or for rendering those already existing more active and efficient.

"The Committee, while they deeply lament, individually and collectively, the loss which the Society has sustained, cannot but devoutly express their gratitude to Almighty God, for having so long granted it the benefit of the zeal and talents of their beloved associate: to the indefatigable exertion of that zeal and those talents, the British and Foreign Bible Society, as far as regards human instrumentality, is essentially indebted for its present prosperous state; while to the same cause must in great measure be ascribed that indisposition which has so fatally terminated.

"The Committee, fully persuaded that all the members of the Institution will most cordially sympathise with them, on an event so peculiarly calculated to affect their feelings, resolved that this brief memorial of the merits and services of their late Secretary be published in the Monthly Extracts of Correspondence."
