April 14 , in the 95 th year of his age , Mr . John Valentine , of Chowbertt , Lancashire . He was the youngest vso » of the Rev . Peter Valentine , who formerly preached at Wharton , in the neighbourhood of Chowbent , bat resided at the latter place , and taught a school there . Uuder his father ' s tuition he acquired a
considerable portion of classical literature . He was , also , well acquainted with history , particularly ecclesiastical history , and with most of the controversial writers of the last age , on moral and religious subjects . Although he was educated in the principles of religion taught iu the Assembly ' s Catechism , yet , on
arriving at years of maturity , he began to inquire into the truth of them ; and the result was the adoption of Unitarian views and sentiments . These he professed for upwards of sixty years of his life ; and in them he found that consolation which supported and comforted him under many severe domestic auctions ,
and in the prospect of his own dissofcutkm . During his last illness , which was neither very long nor uncommonly severe , and which did not appear to affect his mental faculties , for they continued almost unimpaired to the last moment of his life , he frequently spoke of death , according to the scriptural representation of it , a * a sleep , and as a rest from the cares of
this life ; that death is as welcome to the Christian at the end of his warfare , as rest is to the labourer after his day of toil . Mr . V . was a member of the Unitarian congregation of Dissenters at Chowbent , about 60 years , and , during this long period of time , was rarely absent from his place of worship , constantly
attending twice a day , and in the evening coudueting a devotional service in his own family . This practice he adhered to until about the last year of his life , when increasing bodily feebleness prevented his attending more than once in the day , and un favourable weather confined him altogether at home . It was much to his
ad vantage and happiness , ( for he always spoke of it as such , ) whilst a young man , to en Joy the friendship of the late Mr . John Mort , whose memory is still cher * shed here by many , although he has n been dead upwards of thirty years .

early planted itself here ; an&Mr . Mori had the pleasure of seeing nearly tftfe whole of the congregation ( at that time upwards of a thousand persons ) with which he was connected , avowed Unitarians , some time before his death , which happened in the 86 th year of his age . It
was principally owing to this connexion and intimacy , that Mr . V . attributed the change in his religious sentiments ; a change which lengthened years approved and sanctioned . And , in the faith and hope inspired by these sentiments , he went rejoicing to his rest . Chowbent . B . R . D ~

rally Writer of the Exchequer—a strenuous advocate for Socinianism , and the author of a tract relating to the prerogatives of his office , and of several publications on religious subjects ; and an eldefc brother of Dr .

his father . This living he held at his death ; and it is a circumstance worthy of remark , that , during the fifty-six years of his incumbency , the Crown presented four several times to the Rectory of Stansfield , while two Dukes of Newcastle passed away without presenting to Damerham .
As a minister of the Established Church , Mr . Haynes was firmly a&t ached to her doctrine and discipline ; and for many years officiated as a curate in his native _„ ¦ -i _ - j . - — ¦ .... i ¦ ¦ r _ -f - 1 - « — / l * For brief Memoirs of both these persons , see Nichols ' s Literary Anecdotes , II . 140 , 141 .
