engaged in a large and extensive line of business : in which he succeeded his master , Mr . Franklin , who , some years baek _> handsomely relinquished' it in his favour , as a testimony of respect and affection to him , and as a reward of the
activity , diligence and fidelity , with which he had conducted it as his apprentice . On the Saturday sc ' nnight , after his death , the 13 th of Dec . his mourning relict to whom he had been scarcely a year married , was brought to bed of a son . T .
On the first instant died Mr . EDWARD BEST , of Brinks Place , Boh on le Moors , aged 37 years . It may be deemed worthy ot remark , that previous to his late indisposition , he had ei > - joyed for the course of twenty years uninterrupted good health , not having experienced one day ' s confinement
occasioned by sickness during that period . — Health is no security against the stroke of death . July 1806 , when in the bloom of manhood , he was suddenly reduced by a discharge of blood from his mouth ; after this first attack , his strength was in some degree restored ; but the attention , solicitude and skill of the
facultyfailed in their endeavours to prevent a _^ repetition of the complaint . In _lAmf 1807 , he was again seized , when every _fcffort was exerted to save life * Alas ! * consumption ensued , and he gradually declined till he expired . He was an ornament to society , and very much esteemed by his friends . His public spi _*»
rit , his goodness and openness of heart , his social disposition , his _urbanityof manners , his presence of mind , his powers of _conversation , his cheerful and _pleasant temper , his desire to please and be pleased very much endeared him to a
large circle of acquaintance , who sinccrely lament his loss . In the domestic capacities of husband and father , his trials had been acute . Five years _ago , the messenger of death _suimnoiyed his amiable and beloved wife co the tomb ; she
was destined to suffer a long and very pajnfuliilncs * before her exit ; irie along with _fouryoung and delicate child rcn was left to rcgiet their irreparable loss ; three of whom are now _surviving both parents . He resigned his breath in the pleasing and _certain hope , that a kind Providence would be a father to the
fatherleas , and continue friends to protect hi 3 orphans , and that infinite wisdom , joined with infinite _gvodue _*? rci _» ri 9 . lVZay

On the 9 th , inst . in the 17 th year of his age , THOMAS POMERGY . } un . of Grove-Place , Hackney . His death was occasioned by a diseased organization which defied the power of Medicine . This fact being ascertained , is a source oi consolation to his afflicted _parents and _relatives . Every effort wa $ made which human skill could devise , to save his life . Y .
This is the second affecting instance of mortality which has been exhibited within a very short time in one Christian congregation , and which this melancholy part of our monthly labour * calls upon us to record . Mr . Henry Holden ( of whose death notice has just been taken ) and Mr , Thomas _Pomcroy , were both of them attendants at
the Gravel-Pit Meeting , Hackney , and on Mr . _AsplancTs _Sunday Morning Lectures to young persons . They were both buried in Bunhill Fields ; one on Wednesday , Dec . » , the other on Wednesday , Dec . 16 . The premature death of these young men is an instructive lesson to the surviving youths of the
same congregation , and the same class of catechumens _* on the uncertainty of 1 ife , the vanity of vl \\ human expectations , and the unspeakable value of chat religion * ' -which hath brought life and immortality to light . " ¦ ' ¦ .... Editor .
