provement in his health that his children almost flattered themselves that years might have been added to his mortal career, but in the counsels of Providence it was otherwise ordained, and they not only bow with submission to the Divine decree, but gratefully acknowledge that it was a most merciful dispensation which spared them the contemplation of mental decay and much corporeal suffering. With the declining year his health declined, but his speedy removal was not anticipated till within two days of his disease, and then it took place very suddenly.

Those of his children who were hastily summoned to witness the last conflict, found death disarmed of his terrors, and amidst the agitation and affliction occasioned by a conviction that a final separation in this world had taken place, they felt as if treading on hallowed ground. The deep repose which rested on the features of their honoured father seemed to assist their conviction that he would be awakened from it at the dawn, and partake of the engagments of that interminable day which will shine with increasing brightness for ever and ever.

Fain would they retain a vivid impression of that sadly pleasing scene. Such a transition is in accordance with the following extract from some lines written by him some years ago:

O may some messenger of love,
Commissioned from the courts above,
Attend me thro' the mystic flight,
To the fair realms of perfect light!

May his surviving children aspire tr imitation of his excellencies, and thas be permitted to hope that their latter end may be like his!

He was interred on the 18th inst. in the burial-ground of the Lewin's Mead Con gregation, and in the same vault with his venerated predecessor at Castle Green, the Rev. Mr. Jellard, where also it supposed the remains of his infant se and first-born child were deposited. A truly appropriate and affecting fener address was delivered by the Rev. Jon Rowe. "Mark the perfect man and te hold the upright, for the end of that m is peace." "For if we believe that Jes died and rose again, even so them als which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."

CORRESPONDENCE.

In this our final notice to Correspondents, we have to acknowledge t receipt of communications, which for various reasons have not been used, frem Messrs Ashdowne; J. C. Meaus; and Discipulus; on the subject of Baptism. Philalethes' paper is left for him at the publishers'.

We wish the poetic merit had equalled the piety of J. E.'s "Lines.”

The racket from our much respected correspondent G. A. of Ireland, did not come to hand till our two numbers for November and December were made up and nearly worked off.

Guillaume will see that we have anticipated his wish in the present Number. Should any communications be hereafter addressed to the Editor, they will – a matter of course be forwarded, unless otherwise directed, to the Conductor of the New Series.

The Stock of the MONTHLY REPOSITORY is about to be arranged, and S scribers in want of back Volumes or Numbers are requested to make application for them, in order to guard against disappointment.

With considerable pains and expense, a few COMPLETE SETS of the MONTSLI REPOSITORY have been formed, and may be had, in various Bindings, of 2: Publishers or Printer.

ERRATA IN NUMBER FOR OCTOBER.

P. 573, col. 2, line 15 from bottom, for IMMUTILATED, read UNMUTILATED. P. 575, col. 1, line 18, from bottom, for "disease," read decease.

Our correspondent N. allows us to correct on his authority a mistake in the co munication from Dorchester, p. 630, col. 1, lines 13, 14 from the bottom: for Rev. Mr. Kiddle," read the Rev. James Kettle, a native of Evesham, in Furc shire, and so, Kettle for " Kiddle," in two other places.

The Names and Signatures of Correspondents are distinguished by Small
Capitals or Italics: as different Correspondents have often adopted the same signature,
some ambiguity in the references will unavoidably arise; but this is an inconvenience
necessarily attached to anonymous communications.
