active mind in the Cobumbian Institute , and was devising and carrying into effect , by the weight of his character and judicious exertions , liberal things for that institution . Under his fostering hand the Botanic Garden had begun to flourish , and much was expected from his perseverance . Identified with all associations for improving the city and the minds of the citizens , it might be said he was beloved and respected by all . The loss of such a man cannot be calculated in a growing society ; and the only consolation that we can find is in the belief that the Governor of the world does all things for the good of his children .

• Mrs . Foot . Oct . 28 , in the 86 th year of her age , at her house in Brunswick Square , ( Bristol , ) Mrs . Foot . She was daughter of the Rev . William Foot , formerly minister of a Dissenting congregation , and master of an eminent classical school iu
this city ; an able and excellent man , who still lives with peculiar freshness in the grateful memory of many of our most distinguished fellow-citizens , once his pupils . She was sister to the benevolent widow of the late Alderman John Merlott , who by their joint munificence became so emphatically " eyes to the blind . " These were natural and gladly
acknowledged sources of respect and regard towards the deceased ; but it was to her own frank and kind disposition , her own strong good sense and highly improved mind , aud to her own social and cheerful piety , that she was indebted for her power of attaching new friends , and of drawing still closer those
numerous and hereditary ties which the long and eventful course of more than half a century had never relaxed . The poor and the distressed will remember her for her own kind acts ; and the memory and the regret will have been rendered the more enduring by the habitual discrimination which directed her
benevolence . Retaining her faculties and cheerfulness unimpaired to the last hour , she died in that peace and hope which a temper and conduct governed by a strict regard to Christian principles may justly inspire . —Bristol Paper .
