Caleb Evans, he was ordained minifter of the Baptist church at Oxford, and conti nued for feveral years to officiate in that capacity with mutual fatisfaction and advantage. After fome time, however, the courfe of his ftudies (for he was an attentive and patient, and defirous to be an impartial, student of the Scriptures) led him to doubt of many deemed fundamental articles of the fyttem in which he had been educated, and gradually to take, on these subjects, the, Unitarian fide. On his removal from Oxford he fettled, for a fhort time, with a fociety of General Baptifts at Fleet, in Lincolnshire. Of these excellent perfons he always fpoke in terms of the utmoft gratitude and affection, and of the time which he spent among them as the happiest period of his life. The profpect, however, of making a better provision for a numerous and increasing family induced him to comply with an invitation from a few Unitarian Baptifts at Newcastle, who had long met together, for religious wor ship and inftruction, without a stated minifter; but, hearing of Mr. Prowitt, and having reason to expect confiderable encouragement for him as a teacher of youth, proposed a plan for his advantage, which, on the whole, fucceeded beyond expectation. To this fmall fociety he continued to afford, for twelve years, his almoft gratuitous fervices; occafionally fupplying for neighbouring congregations, particularly for that in Hanover-iquare, Newcastle, to whofe minuter, both as an afiiftant and a friend, he is an irreparable lofs.

At length, the two fociet es, aware that their religious opinions differed only in a few refpects, and thofe chiefly of a ceremonial nature, in which each might proceed in its own way, without inconvenient interference, united together; Mr. Prowitt being still ready, with his willing services, whenever his friend had a with for them. As a teacher of youth, he was very fuccefsful, and his merit was eminently contpicuous. He contrived to excite the attention of his pupils by the pleafing manner in which he communica➡ ted mis mitructions; and at the fame time engaged their affection for him, not only by his behaviour during the hours of bufinels, but by interesting himself in their amusements, and fuperintending, and even contriving for them, the means of health and relaxation. In thefe respects he en

the

the intention of bringing back his aged mother to spend the remainder of her days under his roof. He was taken very ill at Dorham; but, imprudently proceeding, in the hope that the air and excife would remove his complaints, he became fo violently indifpofed that he was obliged to he left at Catterick bridge, under the humane care of Mr. Ferguson, the innkeeper there, whofe unremitted and difinterefted attention to him, during this thort but fevere illnef, demand the warmest acknowledgments of his family and friends. The difeafe baffled every attempt of his medical attendants, and he expired, after a fevere struggle, on Saturday the 3d of July. He was buried the next day, in the churchyard of that parish, which the venerable Mr. Lindfay to long ago relinquithed, from fimilar motives which had removed Mr. Prowitt from his connexions at Oxford.

At his houfe in Great CumberlandAtreet, Hyde park, in the 48th year of his age, John Randall, efq. ihip-builder, of Greenland dock; a man of the most ami). able qualities, and of the most extenfive ufefulnefs in 'the various connexions of life. He was the fon of a ship-builder at Rotherhithe, and received a lineral educa tion under the tuition of Mr. Dentham, aided by the friendly counfels of Dr. Price. At the deceafe of his father he took on himfelf the management of the shipping bufinefs, which he conducted with the moft honourable attention to the interests of all with whom he was concerned untit the fatal hour of his diffolution. He was at the head of a firm eminently refpectable for integrity and profeffional skill, to

which, during his fuperintendance, this country owes the conftruction of 50 thips of war and other veffels for the fervice of Government, 31 for the use of the EaftIndia Company, and 60 various merchantveffels. This extenfive bufinefs he managed without difficulty or uneafinefs until the last few years, during which the fyftem of Societies, established among the manufacturing claties, having extended itfelf to the workmen on the river Thames, has given countenance to the most alarm ing tumults. Of that whofe melancholy confequence we at prefent deplore, the following is the statement. The fhipwrights belonging to the merchant-dockyards on the banks of the Thames having, with a view to an increase of pay, ftruck their work, Mr. Randall, after ineffectual remonftrances to his own workmen, finding no other refource from their contumacy and exorbitant demands, was under the neceffity of applying to the Government, through the medium of the EaftIndia Company, for a number of men from the King's yards at Deptford, to enable him to refit the Bombay Castle, actually lying in his dock. This request being granted, the men were fet to work, when, on Saturday Auguft 21, the mun nous shipwrights, from the dockyards in general, affembled in a riotous manner, for the express and declared purpofe of fruftrating the intentions of Government in regard to the affiftance given to Mr. Randall by the supply of workmen, and proceeded fo far in their attempt as to lay violent hands on them, and prevent them from continuing to work. Mr. Randall, finding that his most earnest entreaties, which were urged with his accustomed and well-known humanity, could not prevail with the mutineers to difperfe or return to their duty in an orderly manner, thought

neceffary to call-in the aid of the civil power, not only for the fafety of his perfon, but for the protection of his property, which was menaced with total deftruction. But the outrageous proceedings of this tumultuous body increased to fuch a degree of infolence, that Mr. Randall was at length obliged to quit the dif graceful fcene and return home. The hurry of his fpirits during this arduous contention with men who defpifed ali obligations, civil or moral, and the probability of a fudden reverfe in his fortunes, which their violence might occafion, preyed fo ftrongly on his mind, that he was feized with a delirious fever, which, in the course of two days, terminated his existence.-There are few to be found, either in public or private life, whofe character and manners deferve our notice and admiration more than those of this worthy man. We have been able to collect abundance of interesting matter respecting

him, which the general limits of our work reftrain us from inferting at length. From the whole, however, we have to report, that, in his profeffion, Mr. Randall was confidered as having attained to a profound knowledge of the theoretic part, as well by a diligent study of the higher branches of the mathematicks, as by a thorough acquaintance with all the works of (cience published on the fubject of his art, either in the English or foreign languages; and that he had even proceeded far in a work on the subject of navigation, which, if completed, would have been of eminent utility to his country. Mr. R. was not only uniformly steady and active in affairs of business, but his mind was likewife sensibly awake to the refinements of tafte and literature. His early education had rendered him an elegant scholar; and he had his favourite authors, Horace and Cicero, almost by heart. By Nature disposed to focial intercourfe, his acquaintance was numerous; his friendships were few and refpectable. His private charities were extenfive, and well directed. Promptitude to affift was the prevailing feature of his difpofition; and the influence of his benevolent temper, in the circle of his intimate family-relations, made life appear a scene of conftant interchange of good offices. Those whom he made the companions of his rational and most delightful hours he fo united with each other in the ties of fincere regard, that, although now deprived of their common bond of union, they will probably continue to meet while life allows, and will never affemble without paying the tribute of affectionate recollection to their departed friend.

He was nephew of the late Sir George C. banker, and married the heiress of the Rolt family at Sacombe, by whom he became poffeffed of that fine eftate, and had by her a fon, and a daughter. He was in the guards at the unfortunate expedition at St. Cs, in 1758, and wounded in the heel, and his leg was faved from amputation by the advice of a skilful French fu geon, but he ever felt the lameness consequent on the wound. In this expedition Mrs. C's only brother, who went as a volunteer, loft his life; and, her fiiter dying unmarried, the whole property vefted in Mr. C. who prefented his brother to the rectory. Some of the finest timber in the county grows on this eftate, for, till a short time before his death, he never would cut down a
