    whatever else was necessary to their comfort . The total absence of pride was another remarkable trait in Mr ; R . 's character * He was originally in business as a grocer , but coming into possession , by inheritance , of a considerable fortune , he relinquished trade altogether . It is the common effect of riches , especially where they come to the individual late in life , to harden the heart or to produce

    ostentation ; but in the present case , they produced no outward visible effect . In his personal expenses , he was as moderate , and in his exterior deportment he was as humble as before . His superfluous wealth was , the writer believes , wholly expended for others . He seemed to live for others ; in self-indulgence , he had no pleasure ; his highest gratification was to see those around him happy by his means .

    But the strength of his religious principles was most strikingly evinced in his fortitude under suffering . For more than two years he was afflicted with a fearful malady , which totally incapacitated him from engaging in those pursuits in which he was accustomed to

    employ himself . Yet a word of repining never escaped his lips ; he often spoke of the acute pain to which he was exposed , but he was ever cheerful , and , in the intervals of ease , loved to dwell on the goodness of God to him . He wad sensible of the blessings with which he

    Western Unitarian Socieiy . At the Annual General Meeting of the Western Unitarian Society , held at Yeovil , ou the 17 th of July , 1828 , the following resolution waa passed unanimously : " While we cordially and fully unite in the expressions of honour and thankfulness alreadycouveyed by the British and Foreign Unitarian Association to Lord

    Holland , Lord John Bussell , and John Smith , Esq ., and other distinguished members of the Legislature , who have , in various ways , promoted the cause of civil and religious liberty , and particu larly by the employment of their talents and exertions to bring about the rejieal of the Corporation and Teat Acts , and also in the sentiments expressed by the Association of warm and respectful in < -

    writer ' s acquaintance with him commenced , and he never saw so bright a display of the value of rational religious notions and of the efficacy of Christian principles . It may well be supposed that a man of such active benevolence as Mr . Rowlaud would not confine himself to the advancement of religious objects ,

    merely as such . The same principle interested him in any cause that geemed connected with the welfare of the human race . In his vigorous days he was distinguished as a politician , and advocated every measure o f liberality and freedom . The late Major Cartwright intimately knew him , and appreciated his worth . He had also a slight

    acquaintance with several eminent political characters of the present day , from whom he received many marks of respect , and who always hailed with pleasure his attendance at their annual meetings . But he is gone—and while we deplore his loss , it behaves as to follow in his steps , that we may receive the same unfading reward . G . L . Boston , Aug . 19 .
