of his Dante , ( containing most able in . troductory dissertations , ) were his only works of a higher character . But it was not to the absence of desire to do greater things and to leave works more durably worthy of his name and country , that we should attribute the necessity for such an exhortation to nobler attempts
as that which lately appeared in the Quarterly Review from the pen of one most capable of duly estimating his great powers . The terms of the appeal were most flattering , but they , at the same time , sharpened the pain of a mind which found itself subdued by the more craving urgency of providing for immediate necessities . In the prosecution of a last and most laborious effort of
this sort , conducted under circumstances of great privation and affliction , his constitution gave way , and a few months of inaction ended in his death . He met its gradual approach with perfect resignation , and a feeling long ago expressed in the concluding line of one of his beautiful sonnets , selected by his friends as an appropriate legend for his tombstone ,
c Fors' io da morte avro fama e riposo . " One of the subjects on which his memory was well stored , and iu which he took the greatest interest , was the politico-religious history of Italy during the
middle and immediately succeeding ages . He had made some progress in a histotorical romance , of which Bern . Ochino was the hero , and which was to have led through a series of adventures in various countries of Europe , illustrative of the then state of manners , literature , and religious opinion .
Of some of the valuable information which this distinguished man possessed , we should have been allowed the benefit , had his life been spared . Foscolo , whose curiosity and thirst of information were always active and eager , was one of our readers , and the last book he read was Dr . M'Crie ' s history of the attempts at
reformation in Italy , which he perused with the design of communicating through our pages the result of his own observations on many points , which Dr . M'Crie ' s imperfect work brought to hi& recollection , and on various collateral topics , about which our stock of information is exceedingly meagre , while his own store of materials was most abundant .

Glaze , of the glass manufactory , lately established in that new and rising town . Mrs . Glaze was the only sister of the Rev . J . B . Bristowe , of Ringwood , Hants . She was born near Stourbridge , Worcestershire ; and , with her family , belonged to the Presbyterian congregation in that town . Some years after her
marriage , accompanied by her father , and mother , and three young daughters , she set sail from Liverpool to New York , whither her husband had previously emigrated ; and for many years the family resided in that city . After the death of her parents , Mr . Glaze , with his wife and daughters , settled at Jersey-City , where this much-respected woman died after a short illness . Her remains were
interred in the burial-ground belonging to St . John ' s Church , New York , near those of her honoured parents . Mr . Ware , the Unitarian Minister , being from home , the Rev . Mr . Jones , lately arrived from England , performed part of the funeral service in Mr . Glaze ' s dwelling-house , and
then attended the corpse across the river to New York , and concluded the whole at the grave , in the presence of many sincere mourners , most of them , indeed , natives of Great Britain , who voluntarily appeared in black , as a mark of respect to their deceased friend and countrywoman .

Mr . Benjamin Chilley Pine . Sept . 10 , at his residence , Rock Villaf Tunbridge Wells , Mr . Benjamin Chilley Pine , in the 49 th year of his age . After serving the usual term of apprenticeship with the late Mr . Ebenezer Johnston , he entered into business at Maidstone , and established the concern which was afterwards , and up to the time of his death , carried on under the firm of Pine and
Ellis . His extraordinary power of mind and general aptitude for business , joined to the most inflexible integrity , were well calculated to insure him distinction in any path of life however elevated , and contributed much to that success in business by which he was latterly induced to contemplate a partial withdrawment from its more active duties , with a view to the fuller enjoyment of his family , and the cultivation of those less
laborious pursuits from which he anticipated gratification in the decline of life . These pleasing prospects , however , were not destined to be realized . The seeds of consumption , early seated in his constitution , developed themselves a few month ** ago into fatal maturity , and hurried their victim with an awful though not painful rapidity to the tomb .
