    Mr . Robert Pass , On the 28 th pf September ult , at the advanced age of 77 , Mr . Robert Pass , of Boston , Lincolnshire . This gentleman w ^ s distinguished by the boldness and independence of his sentiments , both political and religious , aud the fearlessness with which , on all occasions , lie maintained the cause of human improvement . He had lived in disturbed times * but he was never

    induced , through fear , to disguise the convictions of his heart , or to suppress what he honestly believed to be wholesome truth . In spite of the unpopularity of some of liis views at the time ,, and the odium that was sought to be fixed on all who held them ; he gradually won his way , by industry and integrity , to affluence ; and , what is far better , carried aioug with him the unfeigned respect of all who knew him .

    He was early led to embrace Unitarianism , and was one of the first , if not the very first , who publicly professed his adherence to it in Boston . To him the society in that place is mainly indebted for its institution : and , when in the enjoyment of health and activity , he was an unfailing attendant on the public services of God ' s house .

    some religious professors ; but he entertained a deep feeling of the importance of revealed religion in the formation of virtuous character ; and of the various forms under which Christianity is pro . fessed , he adhered to Umtarianism as most conducive to this holy end , and most conformable with the teaching of

    the New Testament . His utter abhor * re nee of pretension was a strong feature in his character , and , by some enthusi * astic tempers , he might be accused of indifference ; but those who knew him can testify to his ardent attachment to the cause of real religion , and to the unabated zeal with which he ever upheld it .

    A life such as this could not fail to ensure him the esteem of all well-disposed people ; and it may be said , with perfect truth , that , at the time of his death , there was not in the town where he spent the chief part of a long and useful life a man more generally respected . He died in peace , surrounded

    by his surviviug but not disconsolate family , leaving for their imitation a bright example , and , we would trusty through the mercy of that God who ac ^ cepts the homage of the heart , about to be raised to a happier world—to a world of ineffable felicity . , G .

    motives which have led you to make this profession the object of your voluntary choke- The Church of England requires from the caudidatea for orders a declaration that they regard themselves as " inwardly moved by the Holy Ghost to take upon them the sacred office and ministration of the deaconship or priesthood , aud to serve God for the

I rejoice to think that no such snares are laid for conscience in
