mitted him into the church, if he had been so disposed. But being possessed of a handsome fortune, and having a strong affection for the people to whom he officiated, he declined the offer. was, however, a man of most liberal principles, and lived upon terms of the greatest intimacy with the clergy of the established church in his neighbourhood, by whom also he was deservedly held in high estimation for the urbanity of his temper and his unaffected piety. Like his relation the bishop, he looked upon the Methodists as the violaters of religi ous order, and he would never suffer any of the teachers of that sect to occupy his pulpit, however strongly they were recommended to him by some of his more yield

Ing brethren. This occasioned some little bickering between him and a few of his congregation; but his firmness, blended at the same time with the spirit of meekness, prevailed, and he was never afterwards teased with such applications. In his religious sentiments, he was of the school of Watts, Doddridge, and Orton. On festival days, and other times he used to attend the parish church with his family. Mr. Lavington Mr. Lavington published a Thanksgiving sermon on occasion of the successes of the British arms in 1759.

The writer of this article, though of a different communion from Mr. Lavington, records this testimony of esteem for departed worth, from a pleasing recollection of virtues which he admired, and a friendship which he long enjoyed.

In the Charter-house, London, aged 75, Nathaniel Hulme, M. D. F.R., and A.SS.; author of an inaugural dissertation, "de Scorbuto," Edinb. 1765, 8vo. of a Treatise on the Puerperal Fever, London, 1772, 8vo. and of some other valuable works. He was a native of the county of York; and his death was occasioned by the chimney of the house where he resided being blown down; when, getting up to the roof, to see what damage was done, he fell to the ground, and survived the accident but a few days. He was, at his own request, buried in the Pensioners' burial-ground, followed by 24 Surgeons and Physicians; and the following inscription placed to his "Here lie the remains of Nathaniel Hulme, M. D.; who was born on the 17th of June, 1732, and died on the 28th of

memory:

March, 1807. He was elected Physician to the Charter-house on the 17th of March, 1774, and continued so to the time of his death. He practised Medicine during a long course of years with advan tage to his patients, and with honour to himself."-His last Prayer:

"O GOD the Creator of all Things, whose mercy is infinite, and whose wisdom is incomprehensible, before Thee do I humbly prostrate myself to the earth; and to Thee do I freely commit my spirit; because I well know and do trust that the same kind Provi dence which brought me into this world, and provided milk out of my mother's breast for my immediate nourishment, will as certainly preside over my death, and dispose of my immortal part in such a manner as will be most suitable to its future existence. All thy works silently praise Thee, O great and beneficent Creator! even we in the grave, who are sown in corruption to be raised in glory, as revealed to mankind by thy Son Jesus Christ, for thy power is above all thought, and thy goodness exceedeth all measure; and they endure for ever and ever. Amen."

At Ferney Hill, the residence of her eldest son, Mrs. Cooper, relict of the Rev. Dr. Cooper, of Yarmouth, in Norfolk, and daughter of the late James Bransby, esq. of Shotisham, in that County, by: an heiress of the family of Paston. Panegyric but adopts the language of truth in ascribing to this excellent lady every amiable quality, and every exalted virtue, which can adorn and dignify the female character. Her temper, disposition, and affections were heavenly.

The principles of Christianity were the maxims of her conduct, and its purity, candour, humility, and benevolence, shone forth in every action of her life. Severe only to herself, but gentle and affable to others, every heart felt harmonized in her presence, and every eye looked up to her with love and veneration. Though she had survived her affectionate husband, and more than half of her numerous family, fortitude and resignation still cheered the decline of life, and in the 70th year of her age, surrounded by domestic comforts, and soothed by the hope of rising again to endless glory, she departed in the mild radiance of piety and devotion, and left the lustre of a bright example to her children and the world. She was the author of several pub. lications, some of which were printed many years ago under the titles of "Fanny Meadows," "The Daughter, "The School for Wives," and "The Exemplary Mother." She published likewise at a later period," A Poetical Epistle from Jane Shore to her Friend." They were all composed with the ardent desire of promoting the influence of Christian morality, and whoever has read these productions of her pen, and was acquainted with the virtues of her heart, will readily acknowledge, that she exemplified in every station of life those characters of ideal excellence which her fancy drew.
