Aug . 23 , at his apartments , Trinity Square , Tower Hill , aged 75 , the Rev . Thomas Davies , ouce a popular minister amongst the Calvinistic Methodists . He was a native of Wales , and possessed much of the characteristic zeal of his couutrymen . His preaching was attractive to the common people from his

Sept . 6 , after a short illness , aged 70 , Hannah , the wife of John Thomson , Esq ., of Kendal , and mother of the late Dr . Thomson , of Leeds . Hers was a character in which was found a rare
assemblage of the best qualities of our nature . The dignified and graceful ease of her manners , whilst it obtained general respect , peculiarly fitted her for receiving and communicating pleasure in the cheerful intercourse of societv—but it
was in the select circle of her family and friends , that the true worth of her character was seen and felt—here it was that the wisdom of religion rendered her peculiarly instructive , and the benignity of its spirit truly engaging . In what manner she discharged the duties of a wife and mother , the strongest testimony
is the grief of her surviving family occasioned by this bereaving providence ;—amongst them will be long remembered the sincerity and tenderness of her affection , and the zeal and assiduity with which she laboured to promote their happiness . In her religious character she
was particularly eminent . Her piety was cheerful , and yet deeply rooted , and her attendance upon public worship most exemplar }* . Religion she had considered with care ; and holding to the great leading truths of the gospel , she cultivated that genuine chanty which respects piety wherever it is found . It is a satisfaction
to add , that as she endured affliction with a patience and fortitude which did honour to Christianity , so the glorious promises pf this religion , the influence of which she had felt through life , were her comfort and support iu death *
