1826 . Jan . 21 , at Prencot , aged 47 , the Rev . W . T . Procter , Minister of the Unitarian Chapel in that town . He was interred in the adjoining ceritetery , on the 25 th of the same month , by the Rev . G . W . ElPSott , of Rochdale , and a funeral sermon was preached on Sunday , February 5 , at Prescot , by the minister
of the Unitarian Gh&pel , Stoekport . Th £ discourse was founded on Acts xiii . 36 ; " For David after he had served his owu generation , by the will of God fell on sleep . * ' Mr . Procter , after being edu-, cated for the ministry in the Dissenting Academy which was at Northampton , and conducted by the Rev . Joho Horsey , was successively stationed at llrainster ,
in Somersetshire , at Burton , in Staffordshire , at Dean Row , near Wilmslow , in Cheshire , and at fcrescot , in Lancashire . Whilst life and health continued , he was actively useful in his family , in the church , and in the World . It may also be remarked , that when affliction laid
him aside , he submitted with patience to the will of God , till at last it pleased his heavenly Father to grant him the repose of death . His friends and neighbours , as well as his owu family , in losing him , have lost pne who was ever ready to exert himself for their advantage * He has left a widow and four children . But
we know , that if they in the way of welldoing place their trust in God , he will be the husband and the friend of the widow , and the Father of the fatherless . How consolatory and encouraging too , are the
prospects which the gospel reveals ! True Christians heed not " sorrow as those who bave no hope , for if they believe * hat Jesus died and rose again , so also that God , through Jesus , will brine with

Feb ^ 6 , Miss Ann Caldwell , oi Nantwich , aged 69 . Her death is deeply regretted , not only by her relatives „ but also b y many others whp were intimately acquainted with her . She had for some y ears suffered much from impaired health , but she manifested under her sufferings
that patience aod fortitude which result from , enlarged and correct views of the moral and paternal government of Jehovah . Her opinions respecting the ohject of worship were strictly Unitarian , hut at the same time she esteemed the sincere and worthy of all classes of
professing Christians . Though she lamented what she thought an occasionally ill governed zeal iu some of the more active advocates of Unitarianism , she was always delighted when she heard of the extension of those views which she con * side red more consistent with the gospel ,
than those which are more popular * Her religion was not an inoperative principle ; it influenced her conduct : beitig the result of conviction , it led her to feel an interest in every plan which appeared to her calculated to promote the cause of
truthy virtue and happiness . She entered deeply into the privations and afflictions of the more deserviug amongst the poor , and her assistance was always to ba relied on wheu the case was properly recommended .
