October 2 , died at Tenterden in Kent , at the early age of sixteen , MISS ANN COVENEY , the daughter of Mr . Jos . Coyeney , grazier . of that place . In the autumn of last year , in consequence of a cold , the symptoms of a decline began to appear ; and continued to undermjne ^ n apparently strong constitution , until they terminated % * . death . With the
most promising appearances of being long a blessing to her parents , and of maintaining an amiable and respectable character in the world , she was thus early called out of a state of trial . Her course of reading had been di-Tected to those subjects , which tend to
inform the understanding :, and to mend the heart ; she had particularly read the " Unitarian tracts ; and from those sentiments of God and religion which , are there to be met with , and these as grounded on divine revelation , she
directed her hopes to the great and universal parent , expressed her entire resignation to his will , and with a fortitude , uncpmmpn at her age , met an event , which for the last fortnight she had fully expected .
Let her early removal be considered as one more compassionate call to the young , from the gracious and tender father of mankind , to give themselves up to the counsels of his holy will ; . that by . a practical remembrance of him as their Creator , their Benefactor , their Ruter and their Judge , they may
prepare for death ; or if life > hn ) l be continued to them , lay a foundation for future respectability and true personal enjoyment , for beir » £ a ble . sing to society , and for living eternally , to what must ever constitute their highest happinesseven to the praise of Him who made them .

and William of Worcester *; - " and aTract on the Leonine verses , from the above manuscripts ; in 1787 , anew edition of Bishop Tanner ' s " Notitia Monastica . " To these he has added several Sermons , and Charges as a Magistrate . In this latter situation ^ he was eminently conspicuous for his correct knowledge of the laws ; and he filled the office of
chairman at the sessions of Cambridge and Ely with moderation , justice , and impartiality , at once distinguishing himself as the gentleman , the lawyer and the divine . G . M . October 19 th , MISS ANN EDNEY , a ? , ed three years and four months , only daughter of Mr . and Mrs . Edney , and grand-daughter of Mr . John Marsom of Holborn .
Seldom has the vanity of earthly expectations been more strikingly exemplified , than in the death of this amiable and interesting child , whose appearance a few weeks previous to her dissolution , exhibited the bloom and stability of confirmed healih ; and in whose
animated countenance , and various intellif gent and engaging words , and actions , her friends read the flattering assurance of future years distinguished by mental , a » well as corporeal growth and im r provement . it was the awful and adorable will of Divine Providence to
disappoint these hopes . cc Fair was the promise of the flower , But short , alas ! its destin'd hour . The blightp * death ftsbloom withstood ^ And nipt at once the bursting bud . " The mournful ijnpression left by her
sufferings and death on the mjnds of her relatives , can only be counteracted by the persuasion thus expressed in a letter written on the occasion , by the Rev . John Simpson of Hackney , who delivered the address at her interment in
Worship-street burying-ground . How cheering the thought , ct Of such is the king" doln of Heaven ! Our little ones are * ' not lost ( rlor shall we be eternally sc" parated . " They are also deeply sensible of the wisdom and goodness of the divine administration , and desirous of co-operating with its gracious designs in this afflictive dispensatiop .
