wing had attained to an unexampled prosperity . Upon her return after the late midsummer recess to the discharge of professional duties , her indisposition augmented , and alas ! terminated in speedy dissolution . To her truly afflicted
partner and to her three affectionate daughters , as well as to all her other relatives and friends she had endeared herself by ^ he many excellencies both of her head and of her heart * They will long cherish her memory 1 Her removal from an extensive sphere of usefulness ^ in
the meridian of life and in the zenith of activity , forms an awful comment on the vanity of human expectations , and powerfully inculcates the wisdom of directing our hopes to the imperishable glories of the heavenly world . This account of a
beloved sister shall be closed with lines , of which she expressed her warmest admiration a few weeks ago , when she heard them recited by her brother as a specimen of devotional poetry , at the conclusion of a Lecture on the Belies
Lettres delivered at her seminary : Yes , we shall live for ever I Life r s short years May bring their destined trials , cares and joys , And strew the thorns and roses iu our
way : But we shall follow where the Mighty Lord Of man ' s redemption , rising from the grave Ascended , pointing to our promised home
Above , where spirits of the just abide In immortality and perfect love ! This indeed , is the land of shadows , evanescent in its nature , and most transitory in its duration . Substance and permanency are the sole attributes of a superior state of being . * ' It is
congruous to our expectation of so great things after death , that we live in a cheerful , pleasant expectation of it . For what must necessarily intervene , though not grateful in itself , should be reckoned so for the sake of that which is . This
only can upon the best terms reconcile us to the grave , that our greatest hopes lie beyond it and are not hazarded by it but accomplished /* This mortal must put on immortality . J . EVANS . txlinffton . Sept . 20 . 1823 .

Sept . 10 , after a few daysillness , at his seat , Gat combe Park , Gloucester shire y David IIicardo , Esq ., Member of Parliament for Portarlingten . The death of this gentleman , in the midst of days and of fame , has occasioned an indescribable shock to his family and friends . An . abscess in the ear , a constitutional complaint , which extended to the brain , put an end to his valuable life . He was the
head , and in one sense the founder of a large family , who looked up to him with affection and reverence . His sound mind , sterling integrity , uice honour and amiable manners , made him universally respected and beloved . By his talents he had acquired in the money-market a princely fortune , which was gained
houourably and used generously . He is known to the English public , and to the literary and scientific men of Europe by his works on Political Economy , which evince an uncommon reach and peculiar acuteness of mind . He was regarded as the leading political economist in the House of Commons , where ail parties
agreed to shew deference to his opinions . This universal respect is the more decisive of his great mental powers , as he was scarcely eloquent in the Parliamentary sense of the term , aud as he maintained political principles to which the majority
of the House of Commons are strongly opposed . With extraordinary talents he united great simplicity of character and urbanity of manner , and hence he was every where a favourite . On all great public questions he was with the people , and tiie reader will turn back with new
interest to his admirable speech given in our last number , pp . 490—492 , in support of the «« Christians' Petition against the Prosecution of Unbelievers , " a speech the more manly and virtuous on account of the suspicions and opprobrium to which he knew himself to be Hubject from his origin among the Jewish people .
