to whom she was cordially attached , and with whom she had been united thirty-fire years , she ex pressed the wish that her latter end might be like his . JHer prayer was granted ; they each lived to the advanced age of 77 , beloved and respected by all 1
who had the happiness of beingconnected with them , in the full possession of all their faculties , and exempt from those infirmities that are commonly the lot of ad . yanced age . They each departed this life after an illness of only a few hours , sensible nearly to the last , and * apparently
without pain . Well might the Psalmist say , " Mark the perfect , and behold the upright , for their end is peace . " But it must not be forgotten by those who wish , to die the death of the righteous , that they must strive to live like them . Our deceased friend was
regular in her family and closet devotions to the close of life , and enjoined the same on her children . Her remains were interred in the family vault at Wallhamstow , and a sermon was
preached , on occasion of her death , to her numerous family and a large assembly of friends , by the Hew Mr . Jevons , in the OW or Presbyterian Meeting-House in that village .

Thomas Carpenter was universally and most deservedly respected "b y all who knew- him , on account of his extraordinary meekness , gentleness and kindness of
tenvper , and his inflexible integrity and virtue . Few can contemplate his character without learning * something' to meliorate their own .

the place of worship begun by Mr . Spilsbury , the ejected minister of Bromsgrove . His lossi is very sensibly felt by the religious society with which he was connected , as well as by his other friends . The long and tedious illness with which he was
afflicted , he bore with the Christian meekness and patience characteristic of himself The last words which he spoke in this life were , 4 ^ My trust k in -the Lord . ' * " Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust . "

extraordinary coincidence of mortality . They were descended from a family which has been very respectable in the neighbourhood of Bromsgrove for more than a cen . tnry past , and rather numerous , but which , by removals and deaths , is now nearly extinct in that neighbourhood . Neither
of them had been married . Mr . John . Carpenter was at one time the owner of much landed property in Worcestershire . He is well known to have been a person of extraordinary generosity of temper , so much so -as to have been very prejudicial to his own interest . If worldly circumstances sometimes involved him in
differences with his fellow-men , he was always * very peaceable member of the religions sooiety to which he belonged . * He and his brother always exercised the most perfect Christian candour aad charity to all who differed never so widely from themselves in religious sentiments . That liberty _ ¦ » ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ' * The Presbyterian at Bromsgrore .

V On the 19 th nit . at Winchester , in the 22 d year of his age , Lieut . Henry M'Der . motTj of the 9 th Regiment of Foot , second son of Lieut-Colonel M'Dermott , of the Royal Military College , Sandhurst , Berks . He was a young man whose placid disposition , conciliating manners , and ,
exemplary conduct , obtained him the esteem and respect of all his acquaintance : to his disconsolate parents and immediate relatives his loss is irreparable , and his early death will be long a subject of the deepest regret to his numerous friends and brother officers , whose heartfelt concern was so conspicuously manifested at Winchester , from whence the regiment recently marched
for embarkation to the West Indies , having cherished a hope , that had he been enabled to proceed , the sea voyage and change of climate might have given a favourable turn to the pulmonary complaint under which he laboured . His remains were interred in " the Cathedral Chureh-yttrd of Winchester " with military honours , his belo > ved and respected father being chief mourner . ,
