youth, in maturity, and in age, from the land of the living! From among the generous benefactors to these interesting ladies, who were all alive and well in May 1813, the undermentioned kind friends have already ceased to be mortal:

Several other contributors are departed; but their names cannot, just now, be easily ascertained: Being dead, however, they yet speak by their works.

ONE act of justice remains to be per formed before this little report be closed. By the active humanity of James Belloncle, esq. of Dalston, a fresh obligation has been conferred since the death of Mrs. Palairet. No sooner did he hear of the event, than he thought of again employing the means entrusted to his considerate judgment; and, on the 11th April, he transmitted under cover to the Rev. Weeden Budler, jun. the sum of ten pounds. from "THE ROYAL BOUNTY FUND:" justly conceiving that " an inconvenient extra expence must necessarily have been incurred by the change which has taken place." To this gentleman,-known only to the writer of the present article by repeated proofs of his great benevolence,― the two sisters were conjointly indebted for the attainment of Royal notice and favour; to him, also, the survivor is still permitted to look for the probable continuance of much comfort, through his recommendation, in addition to her other limited resources. W. B. Chelsea.

last three years of his life, that most afficting calamity, a total deprivation of sight, accompanied with many bodily infirmities. During this dark and distressing part of his existence, he had all the endearing consolations that friendship could suggest, and all the kind alleviations that relatives could bestow. (See our last Volume, Part i. p. 460. He was strict in his religious principles, but not intolerant; devoted to the church-esta blishment, but without preferment; he possessed all the tender charities of the heart, and in the duties of a son he was truly exemplary. Dr. Bidlake was a man of unassuming manners; naturally com municative among his intimate friends, by whom he was beloved and respected; patient under injuries; and of a sedate. temper, even from his earliest years. One of the striking features of his character was the deep interest he felt in discovering young men of talent and modesty, and in patronising them as far as his limits would admit. Through the whole tenor of his life he was just and honourable; prudent in his domestic concerns, but not niggardly; liberal in the acquisition of the works of taste, but not expensive. As an author he was instructive, elegant, and pathetic s as a preacher, unembarrassed, persuasive, and forcible. He had an unaffected and lively sense of the beauties of nature, and a genuine relish for poetry, painting, and music, in all of which he was conversantg but poetry was his favourite art. In a word, his mind was enriched with various knowledge; and had he concentrated the brilliant rays of his powerful intellect, bə might have shone amongst the greates men of his age.
