Thus lived and died a virtuous , respectable , and useful member of society . R S . Peole , May 16 , 1813 .

Rev . William Lord , Died , April 23 d , 1813 , aged 61 , The Rev . William Loup , reef or of Northiam , in Sussex , who was unhappy
in being ever at variance with the inhabitants of the parish where he resided , respecting tythes , &c . yet of whom every Dissenter must confess , he was the gentleman and the Christian to them that differed front him in religious sentiments : in this respect he was an example to all around him 1 he abhorred a
persecuting spirit on religions differences ; never did he misrepresent any denomination of Christians , or hold them up to contempt . His discourses were rational $ he was not a preacher of the universal restoration , though many years a believer iu it . His further
sentiments may be elucidated from the following anecdotes . Sojn ^ years ago , questioning the young people before confirmation , he asked a girl how many Gods there were ? To which she answered , One . He said there was God the Father , God the Son , and God the Holy Ghofct 3 and then asked her again , How
many Gods there were ? To which she replied , Three . No , he said , there was but one God ; he thought the matter wanted a little ^ alteration , for he did not understand it himself . Being once at his house , when a child was brought to be named , he asked the servant who brought it , Why she warned i * done ?

The answer was , The child is very ill , and my mistress is afraid it will die before it is named . He then said to the servant , You have made a nr istake ; it was the doctor you was to have given it to , for I can do the child no good . His servant once told him , a Mr . -
had been seen since his death ; the rector said he was very happy to hear of it , for he owed him considerable for tythe , and was in hopes he was now coming to pay it . When Mr . B a dissenter , died , his friends ordered the bell at church to go for him ; the rector hearing of it , sent and stopt the bell ; in a few minutes after I met him and
thanked him for so doing ; he said it was not out of disrespect to true deceased or his friends , or any that were dissenters * but those that dissented from the establishment he loved to see act
consistently with themselves . Mr . H . petitioned him to go to prayer with Mrs . H . who was on her death-bed , saying she had lived a good moral life : he further requested him to question her , How she stood iti faith with Jesus Christ ? This
he refused , saving , He might make a bad job of that ; so begged to be excused in this part , but would willingly go to prayer with her . I wish there were more who could see as the rector did on these subjects , and view a persecuting spirit as an untimely frost on the fair bloom of spring , or as the mighty tempest destroying every thing before it . JOHN PJLOMLEY . NorthiaTri ) May 1 st , 1813 .

Mr . C . C . Rotheram . D * ied , at Liverpool , on the 11 th instant , in the 18 th year of his age , Caleb Charles , the ^ oungest son of the late Rev . Caleb Rotheram , of Kendal . His artless simplicity and innocent gaiety , ingenuous manners and amiable
disposition , tempered by honour , virtue , and integrity , which qualities were addornedby a sedulous impjovement of his natural endowments , gave high promise , ( had his life been spared , ) of future distinguished usefulness and moral excellence . His saltern accumulem donis , et fungar inani ' Munere .
