Mr . Samuel Price . 1830 . March 13 , at Portsmouth , Mr . Samuel Price , aged 70 years \ 52 of which he had been a member , and 44 years a deacon , of the General Baptist Society in that town . To the interests of that Society , and the connexion of which it is a branch , he was zealously attached ; yet , although an advocate for the most
strict discipline known among its church * es , he was ever ready to support institutions for promoting Unitarianism and the unfettered expression of religious opinions of any kind ; and the humble hospitality which at home it was his delight to exercise , was in complete contrast with the * ' close communion , " for which " in the church" he was a strenuous advocate . At an early age he conceived clear and enlarged views of the unity and
paternal character of the Divine Being , which were confirmed by much reading and reflection ; they sustained him through the toils and vicissitudes of life , and enabled him to meet the gradual approaches of death with firmness , resignation , and good hope . It may be said that he died in the act of prayer ; with eyes raised to heaven , c < My good Father !* ' were the last articulate sounds lie uttered .

Mrs . Bristow and two Children . June 5 , aged 37 , Jane , wife of the Rev . E . Bristow , of Birmingham . Scarcely more than three years have elapsed « ince her marriage , under circumstances which promised every earthly felicity . Herself and her husband were nearly of the same age , and a long previous intimacy had made them thoroughly acquainted with each other's habits and dispositions . No inconsiderable
similarity of taste prevailed , and though some difference of opinion existed on religious topics , such were the liberality and enlarged Christian views of the deceased , that this never lessened the mutual respect , or interrupted the harmony , of domestic life . The variety of her literary accomplishments , and the elegance of her manners , attracted general admiration . The steadiness of her friendship , and the fervour of her unostentatious
piety , endeared her while living , and will cause her memory to be long and tenderly cherished . The happiness which crowned the early part of her nuptials was , however , quickly blighted . An internal malady , the precise nature of

Which could not then be ascertained , produced the most acute sufferings , aud was evidently undermining her constitution . On the 11 th of last March , her first child , a daughter , who had that day completed her second year , was , without any previous symptoms that could excite alarm , declared to be in a dying state , and the following day expired . On the 16 th of the following month , her other child was removed from earth by a disease which baffled the efforts of his
medical attendants . This latter stroke was borne with a submission and resignation that surprised all who witnessed her conduct . For some weeks her own health seemed to recover , and her strength to increase . But tlie hopes thus raised were soon disappointed . A sudden change made it evident that her
disease was fatal ; and iu a few days she expired without a struggle , having exhibited in the closing scenes of life the same piety and unshaken confidence in the Divine Being which had regulated her conduct , sustained her fortitude , and , we humbly hope , prepared her for death , for judgment , and eternity .
