a

T. B. vicar of Chiswick, aged 22, Isabella, only surviving sister, following, their youngest brother Edward, aged 23, and their sister Mary, aged 24, to the grave, within the short period of 10 months. The circumstances attending the deaths of these four young persons are very remarkable and most awfully impressive. Their brother Edward arrived from India, labouring under a deep consumption; bis sister Mary came from Bristol to see him, at Chiswick, but would not be persuaded of his danger, until she had heard the decided opinion of, the medical attendant, to an indifferent person, for which purpose she concealed herself behind the curtain, "Now," said. she, "I am satisfied; I hope I shall not survive him.". She was taken ill the next morning, and, after 12 days, died; preceding the object of her tender solicitude. to the grave by exactly a month. Similar, but more awful, has been the fate of poor Isabel: For several months past it had been her repeated declaration, both by: letter and words, that, anxious as she might be to have health and strength to administer to the comforts of her Lingering. sister, yet, as soon as the scene of her sudering should close, life would become indifferent to herself. How inscrurahie, are the ways of Providence! On Wednesday the 5th Feb. her sister was buried; on Friday she accompanied her brother to Chiswick, where she arrived without the least fatigue on Saturday; on, Sunday, after a few hours of apparently triffing indisposition, from which she appeared to be fast recovering, in the act of of taking some refreshment, she raised her eyes, and, without the least change of feature or posture, immediately expired! ex !-They. were four of the six children of the late Croft of York,

He lost the sight of an eye by a gutta-serena at an early period of life; and about 40 years since, by suddenly stooping down, struck the other eye on the pointed corner of a chair-back, and burst it; so that, from that time, he has been totally blind. Though under that, as well as the severe affliction of an extremely nervous habit, such was his patience and resignation to the will of Heaven, he was never heard to utter the least murmur of complaiut, but placidly submitted to his singularly distressing situation with that fortitude which, so eminently distinguishes the true Christian.

Aged 72, Mr. John Cook, of Longacre, bookselier and stationer. He was a native of Elgin, North Britain, and had a liberal education in his native town, and at the Mareschal College of Aberdeen. Buty not Anding encouragement equal to his ex

pectations in his own country, he came up an adventurer to London, without either friends or patronage. The writer of this sketch had lived in the same county with him, in Scotland, but had never seen him till 1787, when he found him established as master of an academy at Deptford, in a state of independence, post varios casusi per tot discrimina rerum. He had been an assistant in several academies about Lond don, and in a social hour was very free in amusing his friends with such ludicrous details of his first adventures, rebuffs, and mishaps, as excited the roar of the com pany. He taught an academy at Graves end, at Deptford, and lastly in London, with approbation and success. Bat, unwilling to wear out the last stage of life in the tiresome drudgery of a school, he commenced business as a bookseller and stationer, in which there is reason to believe his success was equal to his expecta tions. He was a very worthy respectable masa, benevolent and good-hearted, and esteemed by all his acquaintance, being at all times accessible to a numerous tribe of his unfortunate brethren in the school line, from whom the hospitalities of his house, his best advice, and purse, were seldom withheld. He had a fund of hu mour that made him a pleasant compa nion. Among other shifts, to keep him self afloat, he had often employed himself in writing sermons for the Oxonians, as he himself expressed it, though he was never in holy orders. It seems doubtful whether Oxonian-graduates would condescend to avail themselves of such helps; yet it is certain, that he dealt in such compo sitious, or perhaps rather compilations, of his own making, and sold a considerable number. A reverend D. D. a particular friend of his, was very angry with him for daring to usurp the sacred character in writing sermons. Besides a spelling book, and other small books, he wrote and published a plan for employing the poor in London, and preventing beggary in the streets. Lord Mansfield had seen it, and sent for him. His Lordship-commended it, and made him a present. He has left a widow, one son, and 3 daughters." Feb. 17. Aged 70, Mr. Win. Fraser, of New Bond street, optician to his Majesty.' Feb:21.
