H 1 CHCRCHWABDENS.—At the last Easter Vestry for the ap-i pointment of churchwardens for the parish of BedwelltvJ upon a representation being made to Richard Fothergil'l,! Esq., of Tredegar lion works, the senior churchwarden, who lias filled that office for the last twelve years, that the com-fg aiunion plate of the parish church was not such as was desirable, lie, in the course of a few days, presented that church, at bis own expense, with an elegant and chaste set! of vessels for the communion servicc, consisting of two patfii, and a plate for the alms. This is orIN- one of the many proofs of kind, christian feelings and -it- tachment shown by that gentleman towards the Establishedf Church and in these days it is a peculiarly valuable proof.

For the correction of these distressing complaints, b RAMI'TON s PILL or HEALTH affords a simple and effec- tive remedy. NATIVE ART.— Among the exhibitions at the Roya. Academy, a short time since, were two marble busts, by E. H. Baily, R.A., Bristol; one of the Kiallmark, which looks i likeness, for we arc not acquainted with the original; and lie other of Thnlberg, which ail hut breathes. The next in jrder of merit are Sir William Follett, by W. Behnes, and Lhe Earl of by H. AVeekes, 'both of which are. excellent likenesses, and beautifully finished. These are the only works in this department particularly deserving of lotice, for even the bust of the late Sir David'AVilkie, R.A., >y S. Joseph, affords but a very faint idea of that very cele- 'rated and deservedly favourite artist. Of portrait statues ilso, this exhibition is particularly scanty, for there are scarcely more than three which are "Ùescning of notice, 'ither for praise or blame. In the latter particular, His irace the late Duke of Sutherland," by J. Francis, stands ■idieukmsly prominent. It is a downright caricature, and if lis present Grace is not utterly devoid of all filial affection, ie must feel his blood boil to see his father so scurvilly leated. The two deserving of unqualified praise are both igain by E. H. Bailey, who would appear to he a most elfiisli being, for he keeps all the best things to himself. l'hpre arc the late very reverend Dr. AVood, and the late ight Rev. Samuel Butler, D D., which certainly occupy the cry best situations in the room, but their intrinsic merits ully entitle them to that distinction, for the lawn sleeves, iven in the cast, appear almost transparent. CHRISTENING OF THE INFANT PRINCESS.—We have to nnounce that this day Friday, is appointed for the christen- ng of the infant Princess. The baptismal ceremony is to be lerformed at the new Chapel Royal at Buckingham Palace lis Grace the Alchbishop of Canterbury will officiate at the eremony, assisted by the Bishop of London. The Earl of rersey, Master of the Horse; the Earl of Liverpool, the lord Steward, and the other leading officers of the Roval iousehold are commanded to be in attendance at 12 o'clock in that day. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester to be one of the sponsors, but who the other sponsors are as not transpired. It has reached us through a medium on ihich even- reliance maybe placed, that the interesting event rill be conducted as privately as possible, consistent with he illustrious birth of the Royal infant. The Queen Dowager, heir Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Gloucester, Duke .nd Duchess of Cambridge, and Princess Augusta, Prince ieorge, and the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, and he principal ministers of State, are invited to the solemnity, rhe cards of command and invitation were issued from the ord Chamberlain's office on Saturday last. TIIE BRITISH HOLLANDS DISTILLERY COMPANY AND ASSOCIATION FOR TIIE PRODUCTION OF HOIE BRANDIES, LND ALL OTHER SriRiTrous LIQUORS.—It is with us a fixed irinciple to give a decided preference to every article of home rrowth or manufacture, whenever we perceive any fair ap- •roximation in its quality to a similar production of foreign irigin. In the course of rather extensive wanderings over lie Continent of Europe, curiosity has led us to visit one or wo of the largest establishments in Holland, celebrated for listilling the finest description of the liquor so well-known o connoisseurs under the name of "Schiedam and it has, re now, been matter of surprise to us, that the Dutch should lave been so long allowed to remain in quiet possession of a 'monopoly" to which they can show no just title. Hollands," however pure and mellow, does not, in reality, we its excellence to a. foreign soil or climate. It is a corn- pirit, produced by a process just as easily followed in England as any where on the other side of the German )cean, and we are glad to find that our opinion on this sub- ect is proved correct by the British Hollands bistillery Com- pany, a sample of whose Schiedam we have tasted, and Ironounce it to be excellent.—Farmers' Journal, Monday, day 2yth. IMPORTANT TO LNENROLLED BENEFIT SOCIETIES.—At Jary-la-boiine police-office, John Savage, landlord of the ■lechanics' Institution Inn, Circus-street, New-road, ap- eared to answer a summons promoted by Messrs. James Iaiming and John Howes, jun., for retaining in his pos- ession a number of articles enumerated below, which they laimed as trustees of a friendly, society.—Air. Pelham, who ppeared as solicitor for the complainants, stated that the property consisted of four canopies and their coverings, three hrones (laughter), five pedestals, two mahogony desks and tands, seven wands, one box and regalia (a laugh), an ivory ind a silver hammer, five swords (loud laughter), two bal- otting boxes, a banner, and other things. It would occur it once to the magistrate that some friendly society had to lo with this. --Nlr. Rawlinson What, with swords! Thero s nothing very friendly about swords! (laughter.) -Nl r, Pelham: The complainants were trustees of the Royal Prince Albert Lodge of the Improved Order of Old Friends," vhich lodge once held its meetings at Air. Savr,ge\s house, mt had lately removed. The society was not enrolled, and he above-named articles, which had been in Mr. Savage's lossession for safe custody, were claimed upon his written Lcknowledgment, that lie was indebted to Messrs. Manning Illd Howes in the sum of £ 80 as a sort of penalty, in the went of his failing to deliver them up when legally de- nanded. —John Collett proved the hand-writing of the lefendant to the acknowledgment referred to by Mr. Pelham. -Thomas Higgins stated that he accompanied the com- ilainants when they required the defendant, to deliver up he property, and that he refused, alleging that his legal ad- isers had instructed him to do so and, as treasurer, he. hould continue to pay the sick, &c. The society and Mr, ■Savage had fallen out, and the lodge was removed from his unise just before.—John Brindell, appraiser, of No. 21, _,arl..street A\ est, Edgware-road, said he had sc-an the pro- )ei ti. in question, and had valued it at E 12 4s. The de- endaut, in answer, said lie retained the articles by virtue of in authority signed by upwards of loo of the brothers of the odge, and which document he put in.—Mr. Rawlinsou hought the question should be settled in a court of law. In its opinion, the Act of Parliament did not give him authority o pronounce a decision in a case so intricate. The Act lermitted a magistrate to order the restitution of property llegally detained and of a certain value, but here he thought he articles were detained with just cause. He should, herefore, dismiss the summons. The Great Western, from Liverpool, arrived at New York in tlio 12th ult., after a passage of twelve days and thirteen lours The rich legatee of Air. Arkwright is not Sir R. Wigram, jut his brother, A ice Chancellor Sir James AVigram.

NEWPORT. |
NEWPORT. | Funeral of the Rev. James Fraiieis. On Tuesday last tlx* mortal remains of this beloved RndjjS lamented pastor were interred in the porch of Saint Paul s Church, Newport, with little of the pomp and circum-|| stance" which the affectionate regret of bis numerous and$| sympathising friends would have collected round theiii.|| This was in "strict conformity with the wishes of the deceased,Kj whose dying injunctions were, that his remains should be|| conducted to their last resting-place with that which distinguished him through life, and with no other in-|| dication of popular feeling than what the spontaneous^ effusions of public sympathy and private regard suggest. Accordingly, the carriages ot the gentry, which^g otherwise would have formed in the procession, were dis-jra pensed with. The congregated thousands, however, thatS constituted the procession amply compensated lor the absence^ ol" those more imposing accessories, and bore testimony to^Jj the widelv diffused feelings of regret and respect for the remains of the man who, when alive, they loved, and whose ambition it was to be of them, and among lueiu. The ap-j||| pearanco of the town in the morning was sombre. The|jg bells tolled mournfully. Business was partially suspended,||j and, with rare exceptions, the shops along the line of thepj procession were partially closed. A large body of clergy and friends of the deceased assembled at eleven o clock at the National School-room when the arrangements tor tlie|js funeral being matured, they proceeded to the residence °fj$f the deceased, where some delay took place. Precisely^ atjg| twelve o'clock the large assembly formed into the following |j ORDER OF PROCESSION. I The children of the National School.—-140 girls, 300 boys. j| The children of the Sunday School.—Boys and girls. ?Jj The master, children, and poor of the I nion. The children of the Diocesan School. *|1 The o.'tieiating minister. II The medical attendants. 3 The Clergy. J

The l> >y was placed in three coffins the inner, a leaden one, the gilt of Airs. Powell, of j|j the Gaer. The decent, appearance ol the children ot National and Sunday Schools evinced the excellent discipline fj| of their teachers, and the vigilant superintendence of their j| lamented founder. Several of the Dissenting ministers of gg the town fell into the line of procession. All sects and|| parties forgot for a moment their religious and political bias,|l and by the cordiality with which they sympathised with the|| majority of the procession, evinced a considerate desire tog|j merge all sectarian feeling in one of unfeigned respect forg departed worth. || When the procession arrived at the church there could notl| have been less than 5,000 persons present., all of|| whom evinced their sympathy with the solemnity of tlit- scene, either in a decorous and respectful behaviour, or otlici- emotion sufficiently contagious to be very generally partici- pated in. §|! The body was then carried into the church and placed^ opposite tiie pulpit, while every available spot in the interior^ .was crowded. There could not have been less than twe'suj|| jhundred persons present on the occasion. The pulpit, iorgan, and communion table were hung with black. lbe|j| ichief mourners arranged themselves under the pulpit. En Upon the solemn procession entering the body of thi^ [church the "Dead March in Saul," by Handel, was admiru-&, |b!y performed upon the small but richly-toned organ by Mi'.fej [Thomas Davies, the organist of St. Paul's after which the|j9| jPsalms were most, solemnly read by the respected Vicar of jgj IS. Wool!os, the Rev. E. Hawkins. gj The following very appropriate hymn was exceedingly well |i by an able and efficient clioir:- |j Why should we dread our mortal doom || That turns us back to clay And tremble at the awful tomb, And shudder at decly I | A sure and certain Hope is ours, Which we through Christ obtain | Cloth'd with immortal life and powers S We soon shall rise again. P Rise when the Trurtp of God shall sound, And death yield up his prey But where, my soul, shall I be found i| In that tremendous day ? P Now, while I feel this mortal strife, H Oh lie my sins forgiven E Then death shall prove the gate of li!p,- fe The grave my road to Heaven. p At the close of the service a dirge, by Kent, was nio,.tpl cleverly performed by the organist, The responses were given by the choir with precision. TheS atf-cting parts of the service told perceptibly on many; of the congregation, and tears and sobs evinced the earnest- ness of the feeling which the solemn scene produced. At t, {the conclusion of the service the body was again taken land conveyed to its place of final deposit beneath the porch,H jibe last sad rites were bestowed upon it, and, amid the tears^ s of those who thronged that spot, was lowered into the grave. The vast, multitude there assembled, and | who felt, and felt deeply, as one man, slowly retired, with emotions that could be ill controuled, and which found | suitable utterance in the | AIEETING AT THE NATIONAL SCHOOL. 1 This was attended by a great majority of the clergy and-a friends of the deceased.

If ever a man existed of whom it might be 3aid, I" that his works followed him," the lamented deceased wasjg Icertainly that man. That his loss will be deeply and widely! jlfelt, by all who knew the man and the clergyman, will bel ^satisfied. Whether in the endearing communities of social! slife, or in the sacred path of duty, he was a man beloved antli Jrespected by all; and the crowd just dispersed from the iu-« Iterinent of his remains, and the number assembled within tin j| walls of the school, bore ample testimony of the respect. ^attachment, and love, in which he was held. He comported jjhimsclf in his sacred calling as one ever actingin the presence! 5 of his Divine master. Never did a minister of the | leave this world with so strong a testimony in his favour oil | solid worth and unassuming piety and the united suffrages! | of the rich and the poor bore ample testimony to the fidelity!? | of the portraiture. As the business of the day was pressing i upon them, he felt be would best discharge his duty by at j once proceeding to it by reading to the meeting the letters ot | various gentlemen oil the occasion. They would bo foundg the eloquent testimonials of the esteem in which theiil | departed friend was held. They were written by many personal friends of the deceased—by those who knew and » appreciated his worth, and whose testimony, therefore, might he regarded as dictated less by friendship than justice to the I subject of them. The first lie should trouble the meeting with | was from their respected Diocesan. The letter was expres- i dve of the deep concern for the sudden illness and demise of | the late Rev. Air. Francis, and bore testimony to his talents, and the assiduity and zeal with which they were employed 11 the service of his God, and in the defence of that Church | to which he was so warmly attached, and of which lie was the ornament and defender. The letter concluded by an aexpression of deep sympathy for the affliction of Airs. I* rancis,| |'Uid warmly commended her to the support of the friends olj rrue reli\,ÎlJI1 and humanity. The following letters were then read by the Chairman :— Deanery, St. Paul s, May 25th, 1813, Sir,—No event, of the kind ever afflicted me more than the premature loss of my much esteemed friend, and your excellent Pastor, Air. Francis. Your former letters, for which I return my thanks, had prepared me for this sad intelligence but as there was still hope, I clung to that hope, and felt deeply the shock which deprived me of it. 1 cannot dwell longer upon so painful a subject we must submit with resignation to the blow, and endeavour to investigate the sorrows of those who are even more afflicted than ourselves by the calamity. I remain, Sir, &c., &c., (Signed) E. LLANDAFF. | To Edward Scott Barber, Esq." Deanery, St. Paul's, May 27, 18-13. j | Sir,—I beg you will be so good as to communicate to ''U-J j meeting, on Tuesday next, my hearty concurrence in the^ object of it. The fund will, doubtless, be applied to t.hcjj education and future benefit of the orphan children, as 1 as to the immediate relief of the widow and her distressed| g family. For these purposes I shall be.happy to subsciibes •sfifty pounds. f h I am, Sir, &(* &c., | (Signed) E. LLANDAFF. ] To Edward Scott Barber, Esq., Churchwarden of St. Paul's, | Newport." J ] To Edward Scott Barber, Esq., Churchwarden of St. Paul's, I | Newport." ) Ilatcbett's Hotel, 2.)th May, 1843. g Sir,—I have received both your letters on my return toll this house and most deeply and sincerely do I lament thefts sad event that has occurred. The Chuich of St. Paul's, and, indeed, the Diocese at|| large, will sustain a severe loss in the decease of this zealous,f| talented, amiable, and excellent man and his widow and children are largely entitled to our sympathy. Ü 'will take an early opportunity of conferring with the Bishopriig oil this sad topic, whose sorrow for this calamity will be as great and as sincere as my own. 11 I remain, Sir, with much respect, || Your faithful Servant, ||| (Signed) W. B. KNIGHT. || E. S. Barber, Esq." || The reading of the foregoing letters was received withgi much applause by the meeting. i|| Notes of apology were received from Sir Charles Salusbury, |j| Bart., Rev. T. Williams, Lhiuvapley, Air. Crawshay Bailey, 11 and other gentlemen unable to attend the meeting. The Chairman then said, that the next letter he should lay before the meeting was from Octavius Alorgan, Esq., :\1.1' a gentleman not more distinguished for his fine humanity f|S ithan for the prompt and delicate appreciation of the worth |ii which he knew and respected so much. The letter contained j|| the liveliest expressions of regret for the death of the IteN-. r Air. Francis, an individual, as the letter stated, who had £ & [done so much with his limited means, and whose zeal 'assiduity in the execution of his pastoral functions, were thegsf jtheme of general praise. The leiter further conveyed the^ 'expression of the sympathy of Sir Charles Alorgan, who wa«$» just made acquainted with the lamented demise of the Itev. Nl r. Francis, and a request that his (Sir Charles's) name should be put down as a subscriber for £.)0, and the wntcr for £20. H This communication was received with general acclamation. The Chairman then said he was about to read a note fi-oii) one to whom they were much indebted. The nature of thutllj [communication, and the distinguished writer of it would beEa [best understood when he mentioned, in connection with it, i: 1l' name of the Rev. Dr. Oliphant, of Trinity College, Cambridge. The letter was expressive of admiration and respect for the zeal and talent of the lamented deceased, and 'recommended the meeting to give the most substantial proof of its sympathy for his bereaved widow. The letter alluded to a notice in the St. James's Chronicle" a few years ago of the exertions of the Rev. Air. Francis, in dissuading the Chartists of that period, from the evil courses they had then entered upon. The letter concluded with the subscription of the writer for £ 10. A letter, apologising for inability to attend, was read from the Rev. Thomas Williams, with a subscription of £ 10. Among other testimonials of alrectioii and regard which the letter contained were the efforts of deceased in connection with the National School. A communication from Air. AAyatt, the architect of St. Paul's^ Church, with a subscription of was also read., The Chairman then said, that having so far progressed inSs' the business before him, he would commend the detail intoS!1 ibler hands. The gentlemen to whom the various rewlu- lions were entrusted, would now address the meeting. raj: The Rev. Daniel Jones then rose to propose the first reso-gji. lution. He would have hesitated, he said, on any otherfja. occasion from thus early obtruding himself on the notice ofjJs| ihe meeting; but he could not, in justice to the in Idin,iduil lie so much loved and respected, or his own feelings refrainjj|| from thus early giving utterance to them, lie was the moreS^ emboldened in doing so, because he knew that anything hc|j^ could say on the occasion, and of him whom they loved andf| lamented, would receive a friendly construction," and be re-p sponded to, He could hardly bring himself to think, the deceased was tiie same individual whom a few [since they had met in the kind and endearing intimacy of63' [the Church Missionary Socicty. Indeed, his fate thus takcngS- (off in the midst of a career of so much usefulness, resembledtb !not a little the fate of a worthy missionary, a depaited lof his, the Rev.— Alartin, of whom the deceased, in all thesE sterling qualities of the minister of the most High God, wasIS the exact counterpart. In any eulogy which this interesting!^ occasion called forth no greater honor could be conferred on^ him than the resemblance which he had just instituted, Hera would, unhesitatingly say, that the comparison was|§ warranted, and that of all men he was the best calculated to enhance the efficiency of their missionaries abroad, by his [advocacy of what most interested them at home. They all S knew what be bad achieved for the honour and glory of God || they were all witnesses to his exertions in the structure of the. sacred edifice opposite; even the very boards on which they §1 stood were an enduring monument of that zeal for the honor If of religion, which nothing could abate, except t he successful accomplishment of his design. His anxiety for the interest g of the poor in administering to their educational wants, first suggested the idea of the National School, and it was quite m enough 'for zeal and assiduity, such as his and such as he |1 brought to the task to originate it, in order to its final coil- summation. His sensitive and Christian mind was keenly i," alive to the wants of the poor. He knew the blessings of a." well-regulated education in reconciling them to, and enabling || them to struggle with, the trying vicissitudes of poverty e and, therefore, it was thitf the best energies of his mind were jfg directed to the building of the school in which they now ja stood for their accommodation. (Cheers.; He had little other stimulant to his exertions than the love of his God, M which sustained him in the midst of the obloqy and opposi- tion, naturally the concomitant of all effort of the nature lie j had mentioned. The division of the parish, consequent on his separation from the late lamented vicar, and the proceed- ings instituted in building this school, must have been the, cause of some alienation of the friendly feeling subsisting p between him and the respected vicar. This, if only for a day, was to be deprecated. Yet, though differing from oll, er,, his esteem and regard for them knew no diminution. With S a purity of aim and singleness of purpose, truth was his object, and he placed her on the highest pedestal. (Cheers.)H Among the endearing peculiarities of his character might|jg be noticed the entireness of soul and body, with which he$3 devoted himselt to tiie work of God. This was his main Iff characteristic, this it, was which sustained him through humiliation and irksome oideal which the duties of his station occasionally called forth. Whether he prayed or preached, of whatever nature the ministerial functions ofB§|| the hour might be, this oneness, this intireness, pervaded theli whole. His heart was in the right place, it conceived and |i effected his sacred purpose, with a readiness and frankness peculiar to himself. Did he preach—He preached with a vivacity and freshness of heart, as if that was always young, and that lie preached for the first tinje. Did he pray— prayed with the earnestness and emotion of a first fervour—jy as if lie prayed for the first time, his heart was always young in the cause of God, and he was prodigal of theH eiiei-gies of soul and body in his holy cause. (Cheers.) HeB had no idea of sparing iiiiiiself-of temporising with the pressure of sacred duties. There was the work, what was to be done was done, and he never asked himself whethei IS it was possible to do it. (Cheers.) The needful time for sleep, for recreation, was given to study or the laborious duties of his profession, and all for the cause of that God in whose service he was never weary. His conduct in the Diocesan School was a model worthy of imitation, it was a model of usefulness, of knowledge, judiciously and sedu- lously employed for the promotion of its interest. bvenH in that he was disinterested, for in truth he never undertook^ any tiling exclusively for the sake of the emolument to it. In the pursuit of his varied avocations in which hefS was daily employed, lie was prodigal of the energies both 01 soul and body, he never calculated on weariness, and rareh felt it. If proof were wanting of the spirit of enterprise and lisinterestedness which marked his latter days, it would bt" found in the fact that he undertook various expensive altera- 1 tions in the church originally erected under his auspices, solely upon his own responsibility, calculating more on the :)iety of the people then on the pecuniary resources at his command. Like other pious and exemplary pastors lie did not abound in wealth, in truth his emoluments no matter from what source derivable left him a bare living, and rarely exceeded the usual stipend allotted for the support of a minister of the gospel; what lie had as he thought it de- rivable from God so he zealously devoted much of it to the honour and glory of his name. The Rev. Air. Jones con- cluded by moving the first resolution, for which see our advertising columns. 1 J. J. Cordes, Esq., rose to second the resolution. He ■ would have regretted his inability on the present occasionB to do justice to his feelings in seconding the resolution so ably recommended to them, but that lie was aware that that inability was superseded by the intensity of the public anxiety which was so deeply felt on the present occasion. The mantle of so good a shepherd will surely remain amonsiH his flock, whom he edified by a holy and Well spent life-fl His conduct through a life of singular usefulness and laboili was distinguished by a modest and unobtrusive cheerfulness, Ne ell e and surely it was not too much to expect that the dews of Heaven should descend on such a minister. He has changed the moral desert of this world for the waters of life, where a crown of never-fading bliss awaited him. He was rejoiced and his friends were consoled to find that the claims which such a life must always command, were in such hands as to afford a guarantee that they shall be cheer-a *|!ully and amply met, and applied judiciously to the mitiga- £ | ijftiori of the sufferings of an afflicted family. 'If it were srivenM ^to their departed friend to draw aside the curtain which Bdividcd time from eternity, and look down upon the kindlv^ iconcern of his numerous friends for all he held dear upoiij| gearth, surely bis spirit would be cheered. Air. Cordes con-g included an affecting address by seconding the resolution. g Air. Prothero said he rose under a strong sense of duty,js |and of the regard which he had for the late Air. Francis, to| ^propose for their adoption the next proposition. In enforcing1^ y|oii their attention the peculiar claims which the bereavedr-l Ijfamily °f Air. 1" rancis had on them for assistance, underj^; ||their grievous loss and affliction, it would be unnecessary f|)rS>i H'lim to offer many observations, or to occupy much of their lltime. 1* ew* christian ministers have left stronger claims for^ ||his family on the christian community in which he lived than j|j |Mr. Francis had done. It was well known, that when he^ ^jfitst came to resideamongst then} there \yas a great deficiency it ||ot church room in this town for the population, which hadjl Sibeen rapidly increasing for many preceding years and many :j sgthere present would recollect the zeal and energy with which\>j ijbe set about remedying that great want, and that his exer-jfs gijtions continued until he had the happiness to see the com- |;pli'tion of that sacred edifice, in the portal of which they had i ^rjust now seen his mortal remains deposited. A\ithout lus" ^unceasing personal exertions, though he was seconded by ;great liberality on the part of many other oxcelic.nt persons -i j|he had no hesitation in asserting, that, though in after time, v |jthe same object might have been accomplished, it would no! I i have been effected then and many thousands who have# ^ince benefitted by his simple, yet fervid and ipreaching would not have had that blessing bestowed uponfi Ithem. His useful endeavours were not confined to ■erection of the Church of St. Paul, nor to the edification ofjg the congregation who afterwards assembled within its for divine service, but were also directed to obtain for children of the poor a moral and religious education and asSI evidence of the success of those endeavours, he need request their regard to the building in which they were assembled, and to the several hundred poor children whoj|j preceded the corpse this day to the grave. To the poor, hefS |was ever ready to afford spiritual comfort, and to their temporal necessities, without, perhaps, due regard to*|5 his own scanty means. To those who were comparatively^ rich, he was the pious and good pastor and was ever ready|sf to administer to them the consolations of religion on occa"-|l sions of affliction and distress. Of the Church of and its pure doctrines and form of worship, he was an ablejH defender; though he always exercised the greatest in its most extended sense, towards those who dissented fromj|| him in sect or dreed. The last public act of his life was aj|| public discussion, in which he was prompted to engage bvSi an honest sense of duty; and those who saw and heardH him on that occasion must long retain a lively i-eiiiembi-aiiec, of his graet talents and firmness, and also of the niockiies, and patience he showed under vulgar insolence and Me is gone to receive the leward of his well-spent life, as they may humbly hope, has entered into the joy of Lord. They had performed the last offices they could render him, but he has left a wife and six children, hcH believed, unprovided for, to receive their sympathies andH assistance and may we and others (said Air."Prothero, withj'l' much feeling) not now present be made instruments in the[-# hands of God to prevent those objects of his tenderest earthly|« care and affection from suffering want. It was a declarationti1 of an inspired writer, well acquainted with the dis- co pensations of providence, that never did he see the righteous jj; forsaken, nor his seed begging their bread. Let us, by out contributions this day, show that the righteous is still not if} forsaken, and that his seed shall not beg their bread. Jf The Rev. Hugh Williams said, in calling upon him to; second the resolution which had just been proposed by Air. Prothero, they had assigned him a task not easy for him, -II with his present feelings, to perform and it is with a melan- choly pleasure that he undertook it—melancholy indeed was jj3' the thought, that the family of a respectable clergyman, so lately enjoying the affection, the solicitude, and the care of a |f devoted husband, and a kind and indulgent parent should so a' suddenly and so soon be deprived of their happiness, and ijS left without a competent, provision, and thrown upon the if1 charitable world for the means of future support. It was. js' however, no small pleasure to him to come forward to take :9- his part, however humble, in promoting any plan calculated, to afford them effectual relief in their distressing situation J and especially cheering was it to be engaged in such a labour t ION.E, when he saw so many around him ready to join in I the work with heart and band'.—Truly gratifying must it be j too, both to the friends of the Church and of humanity and particularly to the private friends and relatives of their dear I departed brother, that not only was public sympathy excited to its utmost extent—not only was there a public feeling j roused in favour of the bereaved widow and her orphaned ij children, as the scenes of thatday showed but that there werf so many there ready to prove the sincerity of their feelings, i by the promptness of their deeds. Still, it was but what was due ( to the memory of him who was no more, especially from them t the friends of the Church. They, indeed, owe him a lie.,IA.N debtol gratitude that they could never pay, both for his lal)(,ut. in increasing the internal strength of ourZion, and in defend- jj|> ing her bulwarks against external attacks against her many fll assailants from without. Yes, he lost no opportunity—be J' neglected no means of strengthening her stakes and 8' lengthening her cords;" and blessed be. God he did so effectually. Witness the new Church in this place but here he felt he was repeating what had already been said, yet he must repeat it. Witness that Church—the numerous congregation 1 that there attended his ministry, and the great number of communicants he brought, to the table of the Lord. Witness 1 these very schools for the education of the poor; and also the Diocesan School-house, lately built in this town,—to whose 9 exertions, he would ask, but to his, principally, was it owing B that they had been erected. Yes, they stood there as monuments of his untiring zeal—his diligence and usefulness gj in his master's cause, and in the cause of the Church of jst England. W itness also his readiness upon all occasions to S come forward and take a prominent and efficient 9^ part at all Church meetings held in the town. For g( his exertions in defence of "the Church he dearly loved, he 9^ need only refer to those who heard him, and those who know I the history of Newport, for the last few years. For how. ever doubtful it may be whether it be desirable for a minister of gospel peace to enter the field of religious con- 3. trovcrsy at all, especially by viva voce discussions, yet he S, thought it his duty to do so, and they knew that from what 3, he conceived bis duty he never shrunk and, however, im-jB, [necessary it might have been for him to respond to thelfl. 'uncalled for challenge, which led to his last contrayersial engagement, and which his friends thought he conld well hare allowed to let pass unnoticed, and ought not to accepted yet, his zeal tor that Church, of which he was devoted minister and no common ornament, would not allow him to hear her clergy gratuitously assailed, and character wantonly traduced without standing forth in defence. And, alas that the brilliant display of argument, and thrilling eloquence, which that oecaion called forth should have been his last! Alas! that his speech of the Tuesday night, the most powerful, and the most eloquent he ever uttered—and he was al powerful and eloquent speaker—alas, that that speech, like! the sweetest note of the swan, should have been his <lying% me! Yes, though like the greatest naval commander o' our day, he died ill 'tile ai-iii-; oC victory, and not until hel was well assured the victory was won, yet, they could note hut lament it was won at such a price -the loss of his valuable life-a loss great and lamentable to the church in that place, and to the church at large, and a loss irreparable to his bereaved and afflicted family. But while they thus deeply! mourn this loss to them let them thank God that their los'sl was A/sgain, and that they sorrowed not as men without hopes they know he slept in Christ. For however marvellou.>H this the Lord s doing might be in our eves," they were he was gone, though early, to receive the just recompenses of his reward. lhough he had toiled hat half the da ygj in the vineyard of his Lord, he, in that time, had used doubleS diligence, and by God's grace completed soon the work hisS Heavenly master had given him to do and why should beg not at, once receive his hire ami full reward If of his Lord! he received jive talents while others had but two or one, lie trafficked early, diligently, with them, and soon i,ctut-iie(I t them ten, justly then has his Lord said unto him—" Well done thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful < over little, I will set thee over much, enter thou into the t, joy of thy Lord.' ^.es, he was gone to reap the "great! reward," he was faithful unto death," and was now goneg to receive a crown of life," and needed now no their sympathy or aid let them turn then to those Knew were nearest, dearest, to his soul. They not show their high esteem of him better than by doing I itmost that they could to extend to them the many not only K g ¡f present relief, but of permanent future comfort and sup-, s port. He begged, therefore, most cordially to second a resolution having this so desirable an object in view. |? g The Augustus Alorgan rose to propose the next reso- g lution. It was, lie would beg to assure them, with the! leepest regret, that he addressed them on the demise of their! departed friend. His loss was widely and deeply felt, and t lot a little aggravated by the cireumstanee that lie has left a his widowed partner with her little ones to deplore it. That g regret, however, was qualified by the assurance that those! whom he f.aw around him while they feelingly shared in thatS regret were disposed to alleviate it by a prompt, and liberal! succour ot those who were now the objects of their common! solicitude. After the high but not undeserved testimonyI Jiat had been borne to his zeal and ability as a Christian,! and in which he might be allowed to say he warmly con- H curred, it was almost superfluous in him to descant further on such a topic. But he should say, intimate and as well as he was known in his own locality and neighbourhood as a pattern of zeal and Christian virtues, he was equally well Known elsewhere. It was needless in him to detain further | than to say, that'they should vie with each other in a display I of substantial and available sympathy for the widow and •hildren of their1 departed friend. It was a high and solemn! duty they had to discharge it was one he was well assured! they would not shrink from, because they would be animated by the encourging truth, that he that giveth unto the pooiP lendeth to the Lord." g 11. J. Davis, Esq., said, that since he entered the room he had been called upon to second the resolution which had just been proposed to them. lie had known their lamented friend many years. He had, for a considerable period, enjoyed his spiritual instructions. He had many opportu- j nities of appreciating the worth and varied qualifications of the man and the clergyman and, consequently, in a position to appreciate that the loss of which he and they regretted. He had great pleasure in seconding the resolution- tg) Thomas Powell, Esq., rose to propose the next resolution. So much had been already said by the various speakers who preceded him, that even if his feelings permitted, he had little to say on the subject, that so feelingly interested them all. 1 heir dear departed friend—for he was his friend. Mr. Powell here was so overcome by the emotions which 1 ^from the commencement, he evidently struggled with, that 1 110, was obliged to resume his seat, and handed the resolution i which he was about to propose to the chairman. The feeling | became contagious, and the touching expressions of sympathy 1 which were controuled during the progress ot the meeting,M were very generally manifested. IVIeii these had subsided, The Rev. Edward Hawkins said that the resolution which She was called upon to second, though one of considerable im. aportanco required but little to be said in recommendation of Sit. 1 heir principal object, and which they should, he thought J gkeep steadily in new was, to make a suitable provision fWt? Sthc widow and children of the man wdiose untimely demised ghad thrown them on their consideration. A committee ofgj ^management, therefore, became absolutely necessary, and§ |the gentlemen composing it, he believed, would obtain thegj ^sanction of the meeting, as individuals competent to dis-^ |jcharge the trust reposed in them. He hoped that the sur.i| ^realized would be applied with a consideration and discre-'J f^tion, best calculated to promote the welfare of those who 3 Vjwere the, objects of it. He ventured to press these matters|j Ll1 the consideration of the meeting, in the hope that tllel- would be attended to. He could not sit dliwu without^ ^giving utterance to his sense of the loss they all sustained^ ||by this bereavement. He had known him but for a short! period, yet, sufficiently long to nit him with love and ad-ia miration for the character of the man. He had been [sionally thrown into his society, and be, therefore, speak from experience, and might be the more readily in-||[, idulged for the sensibility which he could ill control at t.he||j; present meeting, and which would justify him in saying that lie would ever cherish his memory as a brother and a friend. (Cheers.) The Chairman in putting the resolution said, he ivould with great pleasure undertake the sacred trust, and co- operate to the utmost of his power with the gentlemen whose position b?st enabled them to promote the interest of the widow and children of the deceased by a judicious dis- charge of that trust. The Rev. IX-. Price, briefly proposed the next resolution, and S. Toogood, Esq., seconded it. The Rev. J. A. Gabb, proposed the thanks of meeting to the chairman for his efficient discharge of duties of the day- The motion was seconded by J. J. Cordes, Esq. Sir Digby Alackworth, in returning thanks observed that it afforded him a melancholy pleasure to meet the and neighbours of a Christian minister, who were for a purpose of honouring the dead, by affording a sul)- stantial sympathy to the living:. As they were assembled institute something like a testimonial to the deceased, as they were called upon to render that worthy of the occn-H" sion, he might hope to see it sufficiently spontaneous andgE' substantial for assuginag the sorrow of his afflicted widow, jw1 (Cheers.) If a stranger bad just now come among paraded their streets, and witnessed the deep and regret so generally manifested for the deceased, he might tempted to ask what singular good had the lamented deceased done, what record of his zeal and usefulness had he left behind him, if such a person had come and questions were put, he would triumphantly point to church opposite, and in the significant words'recording theHT architectural skill of the builder of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, sav,-Si quid monumentnm rcquiris circwnspice. — lfflp Yes, to such question he would say, look around (Cheers.) All other considerations he should say were for theHa present merged in one of solicitude for the afflicted widow. I I hat, lie thought, would be well evinced by an union of the I efforts of 4he present committee, with the successor of them! leceased. Such an union would effectually carry out tht, objects they all had at heart. He would conclude by onceHj more urging the duty of a liberal contribution, and as theiiHl 'hairman, perhaps lie might be allowed to set them the example by subscribing his name to the list. (Cheers.) File chairman forwith subscribed the sum prefixed to his lame, an example that was generously followed by theHh nunerous friends of the deceased. This terminated theBv business of the meeting. Iv [We hall prepared an ample report of the speeches of the ReI". W. Price, Rev. J. A. Gabb, and S.
