    MARY HUGHES . P . S . Will you permit me , before I close this paper , to thake a few observations on the very interesting account given fn vour last Repository of the late Mr . Thacher . [ XIII . 717—720 . ]

    I think , if Mr . Fearon himself , or , if such there be , orue stiff less willing to allow afiy degree of talent or of virtue to ex ist amoDfg our brethren on the other side of the Atlantic , were to peruse it , ht must confess that the Western

    Continent has produced a man whose character does horvour to human nature ; and that , when he was called to his native skies , a survivor was not wanting , -fullv able * with simple , forcible and heart-affecting eloquence , to bold forth his bright example to the world .

    But What chief ! v induces me to noti <* e this article * is the very striking resemblance which , in character and circumstances , in life and in death , the subjeet of it bears to our lamented

    fHend , Benjamin Goodier ; which I think cannot but have forcibly occurred to the mind of every reader tvfio had , like myself , the happiness 6 f being intimately acquainted with that excellent young mart .

    Who that witnessed his conduct and behaviour during any considerable part 6 fth& four ijears of illness which preceded his death , the great mental improvement that he matfe , and the zealons and active exertions for the

    toemefit of his fellow-creatures which continually employed him , even under such tryiirg circumstances , could fail € «» fce <* ill him ** a young man uncommonly ripe in understanding and virtiu&r and ; though unwillingly , to anticipate mkfot him " € S 6 d had ap-

    pointed an early immortality : " that though " sickness wasted his body , it had no poweir over his spirit ! " « that his understanding retained all its vigour , a » d his heart gained nerr sensibility . The next circumstance mentioned of Mr . Thachfer coincides , too , in a m ~ marka We degree : " his sufFerings called forth an almost unprecedented kind ~ ness , '' ( in different parts of this country , and afterwards in a foreign land , ) in those with whom he associated , " which famished him with new and

    constant occasions of pious gratitude , arnd perhaps he was never so thankful to the Author of his being as durift ^ his sickness . The parallel holds so entirely throughout almost every sentence , that I might go on transcribing to the end of tfee paper , and still imagine that it was

    expressly written to commemorate our departed friend , so ^> erfect i » all respects is the resemblance . To that admirable paper , then , I refer the many who feel a deep interest in the remembrance df Mr . Goiter , as presenting a likeness of him Which cannot but be highly gratifying to ^ their hearts .

    Sir , KNOW not when I have been I more shocked than in reading the account of the horrid execution at Edinburgh , wnere a malefactor being

    cut down from the gallows in a state of insensibility , was restored to conscious animation by being bled by a surgeon , and then hanged a second time . This is pure vindictive justice . But this is not the last nor the wotst

    scene of the kind , if your correspondents who believe in both the resurrection and destruction 6 f the wicked , be right , I submit the casrc to their moral sense . Q .
