Jan . 9 , Mrs . Elizabeth Howard , as much lamented in death as she had been respected in life . This lady , though unknown to public fame by her writings , Was duly estimated in a circle of literary friends for her learning . She possessed superior abilities , which she had improved through life up to a good old age . Her literary attainments , therefore , were very
considerable . To much general knowledge she added a considerable acquaintance with ancient and modern languages . But with very superior talents Mrs . H . made no display , and with much learning she possessed not the least pedantry or affectation . She was not reserved , but , in the highest degree , modest and retiring ; amiable , affable , urbane among her friends ; benevolent and generous to all in proportion to her means .
This excellent woman possessed religion , but without the least bigotry ; she was a sincere and consistent friend to civil and religious liberty . In her own religious principles she was an Unitarian Christian , and died in the 79 th year ot her age .

When a friend who has been the loved companion o . f our earliest years is no more , it is natural that the mind of the survivor should resort to that period when their joys were enhanced by a reciprocity of feeling , when , as it seems to the young and inexperienced , the future
promised a long succession of health , prosperity and happiness , when there afe no forebodings of adversity , or dread of disappointment in the schemes suggested for permanent felicity . Tlie death ot Mrs . Coppdck , of Bridport , who departed this life on the 4 th of IHrtfary , at th& age o f 65 years , has awakened these re * flections . Our attachment to each : other
commenced in drildhood , and aa we advanced rn years , it waff cemented by a congeniality of sentiments on religious subjects , Oiir opinions were freely com * municatett and affectionately discussed . We had both received Serious impressions from our mothers , who were solicitous to enforce upon our minds the great truth that religion was , above all other things , the " one thing needful !"

Jan . 5 , at Hemmorth , Yorkshire , Miss Elizabeth Hutchinson , of Chesterfield , Derbyshire , aged 19 . In the midst of apparent health , in the bloom of youth , the sterling excellence of her character fas ! beginning to display itself , her
friends indulging the most sanguine hopes with respect to the future , and witnessing with pleasure the gradual development of those virtues which are calculated to lend an ornament to private life , and shed a lustre on society—she was snatched away by the unsparing hand of death and hurried to the tomb .
Her sufferings during her short illness were extremely great , but gentle and serene were her last moments , aa had been the current of her life j for the unwearied assiduity of an affectionate mother had deeply imbued her mind with the principles of pure Christianity ; and she displayed in death a cheerful resignation to the decrees of Providence .
" So fades a summer cloud away ; So sinks the gale when storms are o ' er % So jentl y aknts the eye of day ; So dies a wave along the shore . " Her modest , unaffected manners , the
purity of her wtm \ y the goodness of her disposition , and the simplicity of her character , rendered her an object of general esteem , and peculiarly endeared her to the members of her own family , by whom her unexpected death will be long and deeply deplored . May all who knew and loved her , imitate her virtues ! And
