      THE late Rev- Thomas Uroapbent , who was well known to most of the congregations of our denomination in the metropolis and its vicinity , as a young minister of greajfc promise * and who lived in habits of

      endearing iratercou rse and , ' intimate friendship with many who now hear me * . was suddenly cut off , in the midst of . life ; and / health ' and * y % ouiV by a very . awful visitation of Providence a fortnight agoi at : his father ' s house . *'

      Oil the first Sunday in this month ; he delivered a very affecting discourse iii his father ^ pulpit , in which he delineated the chara-cter of , a vicious youth , the slave -of , bad 'habits and criminal passions ,, who , in the prime of life , ruins his constitution , destroys

      his health , his reputation and his peace , and falls aii early victim to his follies and his crimes . His feelings were greatly movied while he " was preaching | and the discourse made a very deep impression upon his

      hearers . The week following he composed another discourse , in which he pourtmyed the opposite character , and described the honour and happiness of a virtuous youth both in life and death . Beffore he finished his composition he heard of the decease of the

      illustrious Princess ; and under a strong impression of that calamitous event , lie concluded his discourse with some reflections suitable to the melancholy occasion . He finished the whole at twelve o ' clock oh Saturday night , the 8 th instant , when he retired to rest iohis usual health and spirits > r | ntend--ing to deliver it the next afternoon .
