him in this life . Seldom has so much interest been excited , or general sympathy manifested , at the death of one so young . Farewell , dear departed child I Thy sorrowing parents will shed over thy tomb the tears of ardent affection . Christian resignation forbids them not , for Jesus wept at the grave of Lazarus . Those who knew thy mild virtues , and
witnessed the serenity with which thy short day closed , will think of them with pleasure and profit , and regret thy seemingly premature death ; but , cheered by the hopes of the gospel , they look forward to a state where that intellectual and moral process which commeuced so promisingly here , will , under better auspices , be carried on to perfection ; where all that affection loved or friendship prized will be restored to their embraces .

mm ^ m Mrs . Armstrong . April 8 , at Manchester , in the 34 th year of her age , ( shortly after she had given birth to twins , one of whom survives her , ) Mary Ann , wife of Mr . John Armstrong , late of Taunton . Mrs . A . was a native of Hiuckley , in Leicestershire , and was very early in life deserted by her father , who left his
family and settled in America , fehe was brought up , however , by an aunt , in a manner the most judicious . Above all , care was taken to instil into her youthful mind those principles of rectitude and rational piety which shone conspicuous in after life . Gifted with a superior mind and a discriminating judgment , which were adorned with an amiable
temper and agreeable manners , her society was always acceptable to her intimate friends aud acquaintance ; but she sought not pleasure abroad ; she was happy , and succeeded in diffusing happiness , at home . In industry , economy , and the management of household affairs , she was an example worthy of imitation . Her ambitiou , if ambition she had any , was to fulfil to the best of her powers all the duties of conjugal and maternal affection . To the
instruction and comfort of her children , she was most particularly devoted ; for them she rose •* early , late took rest , and ate the bread of carefulness . " May they long continue the living monuments of hei * unwearied care and kindness ! It is the earnest prayer of him who pays this tribute to departed worth , that hitf religious ' and moral conduct may he as exemplary aa hers ' whose loss he now

Mrs . Scott . April 24 , at Portsmouth , where she had resided during a period of thirtyeight years , Sophia , wife of the Rev . Russell Scott . Mrs . Scott was the eldest daughter of the late Dr . Hawes , of Spital Square , one of the founders of the Royal Humane Society , and was born in the year
1761 . Few women have possessed a greater share of unpretending good sense , fewer still have so anxiously endeavoured to employ the means and opportunities afforded them by Providence in promo ting the welfare and happiness of others . To do this in various ways , may be said to have been the occupation of her life ;
and with respect to those more especially with whom she was most closely connected , it was the result of an intensity of interest rarely indeed entertained , and certainly never exceeded ; while oblivion of aelf , or rather a complete exemption from selfish feeling , was her yet more remarkable characteristic ..
