      every filial and social duty . Being an only son , he was the support and comfort of the -declining years of his mother , a wid 6 w ,-vthe joy of her heart , and the sun . of her hopes . Respected and beloved by a numerous circle of relations and friends , his house ami heart were always open for their reception ; hospitality and kindness were his delight ; nor was his society less valued for the animation and intelligence of his discourse , than for the general courtesy and urbanity of his manner . He was a dutiful and affectionate son , a warm friend , an agreeable companion , a ready help to the poor , a sincere Christian , and a good man . His virtues are at once the source

      and solace of a bereaved mother's grief ; the blank which he has left in society cannot easily be filled ; but we trust that he has gone to reap the fruits of a useful and pious life .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . Tuesday , April 15 M . Unitarian Marriage Bill . The Earl of Eldon presented a petition on the subject of the Unitarian Marriage Bill . His Lordship took occasion to remark , that he had not pledged himself to bring in any Bill to allow

      Unitarians to celebrate their own marriages ; on the contrary , he should oppose such Bill ; he never had any undertaking of the kind , and according to his humble means , and the measure of his- conduct in thejr Lordships' House , he should think it his duty to say not-content , on any Bill of the same nature as the one of last session . If his judgment should be overruled by their Lordships , and the

      Bill agreed to , he should think it a duty which he owed to the House , in which his services had been so long employedand he felt grateful for jthe condescension and kindness which had been shewn him—to make the measure as good as he could , still reserving to himself , what he had an undoubted right to do , the liberty of dissenting to the third reading of the Bill .

      sat down , that he had not expressed any intention of bringing in a Bill of the nature which had' been alluded to . He ( Lord Lansdowne ) felt it his duty to do so , not only because he had introduced to their Lordships' House the-Bill of last year ; but also because he had received , about a fortnight ago , a letter

      from a person of whom he had no-knowledge , but who described himself to be the Secretary to the Unitarian Associatiou , and called upon him to require the Noble Lord . ( Lord Eldon ) to introduce the measure wl ) ich he had pledged himself to do . He had written , in answer to that letter , that his Lordship had made no such pledge . He did not know whether that letter had reached its

      destination , but he had received another from the same individual , reproaching him exceedingly for the neglect of his public duty , and stating that he must have recourse to the public newspapers for the purpose of calling upon the Noble Lord to fulfil his pledge . ( A laugh . ) He ( Lord Lansdowne ) had applied to the Unitarian Association to know

      whether this person was acting under their authority , and he had been informed that he was neither authorized by , nor even known to them . ' The Earl of Eldon thanked the Noble Marquis for the information which he
