On the 3 rd instant , at Enjield , near London , William * fourth son of the late Mr . Benjamin Mardon , of Exeter . At the early age of twenty years he vras cut off from his friends by a rapid typhus fever . He left his native city for the metropolis about a year and a half since , the better to
improve and prepare- himself for the active duties of future life : during this time he obtained the approbation and confidence of his employer , and the respect and esteem of his associates and intimate acquaintance . Those seeds of virtue and piety , which his friends had sown in his early
youth , were putting forth their blossoms , and promised an abundant harvest * He was a young man of sterling integrity , spotless purity and practical piety , and had the all-wise Disposer of events seen fit to prolong his life , his friends fondly anticipated he would have made a useful and worthy member of society .

August 4 , at Saffron Walden , Essex , after a few days' illness , in the 17 th year of his age , George Nunn , a youth of promising talents , unexpectedly snatched away from his
friends , from the enjoyment of health and from society , by the unsparing hand of death , and consigned to an early but not dishonourable grave . The short period allotted him on earth he employed in the active and cheerful discharge of the duties of the
station in which he was placed , in which he ever displayed the greatest industry and fidelity ; and the short and painful illness which brought him to a premature grave , he bore with exemplary patience , cheerfulness and
resignation . He was interred in the burying ground belonging to the General Baptists in Saffron Walden , at which place of worship he constantly attended , when an impressive discourse was delivered on the occasion
by the Rev . S . Philpot , froiti Luke vii . 12—15 , to a ijiu >* rroiiNv attentive , * uid sorrowing audience ,, who assembled to pay their last sad tribute of respect to the memory of a youth who , by his engaging manners , had gained the inspect of all who knew him .

Aug . 8 , Mrs . Jackson , wrfeof MT # Jackson , of Prescot , sincerely re * spectcd and deeply lamented . The solemnity and puitifulness of this deplored bereavement were greatly increased by its suddenness , and the crisis of its occurrence . Mrs .
Jackson was apparently fa ^ t recovering from a serious illness , that some weeks ago assumed an alarming as * pect , and hopes , the most gratifying to her affectionate husband , -family and friends , were encouraged by the opinion and reports of her skilful medical attendant . But alas ! these
pleasing hopes were not to be long cherished ; they vanished ert * they were realized . So unexpected was the awful event of the death of the venerable friend we mourn , that a daughter and son-in Jaw , who reside in the town , had ndt left their
venerated mother more than half an hour b e fore it occurred , and without harbouring the slightest expectation of being speedily followed by a . messenger charged with such agonizing tidings . And her widowed husband , whose affectionate and tender
attentions had considerably alleviated the scenes of her affliction , returned from a short . mid hasty evening walk , little suspecting that he was approaching the house of mourning . The painful laslc of announcing the heart-rending intelligence to the bereft husband , fell to the lot of the writer of this humble memoir and her
medical attendant ; and painful indeed was the task . It compelled them to check the cheerful smile , which as usual played upon the countenance of their much esteemed friend ; arid to interrupt the amicable salutation with the announcement of
news the most distressing to so affectionate and happy a husband . Imagination can much better conceive than language can paint the affecting scene that ensued . No wonder that the shock for a time
overpowered his fortitude , and that the branches of the bereft family which were present intermingled tears of heart-felt sorrow and poignant grief .
By this unanticipated stroke of death a protracted and very happy conjugal union was instantaneously dissolved , and grief and sorrow , which time alone can assuage , were
