endeared her instantly and equally to the Stranger as to the Friend. Such was the companion of him who gratefully attempts this slender sketch of her deserts, this bounden tribute to her memory; thankful for the treasure lent him, cut dutifully resigning it to the Gracious Supreme Proprietor of the blessing. And should it now be asked, Did no one blemish mingle with this superlative description of a mere human being the reply is brief, and in no degree detractory from the sun higher attainments she derived from unaffected piety, and the grace bestowed upon her from Above. Comparatively, her failings were as shades in painting, rendering the shining parts more beautifully conspicuous; they were as specks in snow; the entailed inheritance of a fallen nature, of which the very best (while in this life) must partake, or otherwise she would have instanced that perfection here, which, as a liberated spirit, she now possesses in the Realms of Bliss. It is natural, it is incumbent, to mourn for such a loss, a loss. irreparable to him, so long experiencing the value of the gift; who to the grave mus feel the sore privation; but, bowing submissively to the correction, humbly receives it, as a symptom of parental love, from the unerring band that hath appointed it; cousuled by the cheering prospect of an endless re-union, through the mercy, merits, and power of the RE

June 16. In Dean-street, South Audleysquare, after a long illness, in his 42d year, the Hon. Charles Bagenal Agar, of Llanhydrock House, Cornwall. Mr. Agar was the third and youngest son of James the first Lord Viscount Clifden, by Lucia eldest daughter of John Martin, esq. and widow of the Hon. Henry Boyle Walsingbam, second son of Henry Earl of Shannon. At an early age he was sent to Westminster-school; and having been admitted, in 1783, a King's scholar on the foundation, he was, in 1788, elected to a studentship at Christ Church, Oxford. During this time he was educated entirely under the care and superintendance of his great-uncle, the Right Hon. Welbore Ellis, afterwards created Lord Mendip; and at these distinguished seminaries he imbibed those high sentiments of honour, and that pure and unmixed sincerity, which were his great characteristics through life. After passing four years at the University, and having taken the degree of B. A. he entered himself of the Society of Lincoln's-Inn, and was at the usual standing called to the Bar. Having chosen the Chancery line as his department, he for some years gave himself up to his profession with very laudable diligence, acquiring, as a young man, a competent share of practice, and attaining, at an early period, the situations of a Commissioner of Bankrupts, and of Deputy Recorder of Oxford. In November 1804, he married Miss Hunt of Llanhydrock, in the county of Cornwall, the heiress and representative of the family of Roberts, formerly Earls of Radnor. Upon this occasion, coming into the possession of a very ample fortune, he relinquished entirely the practice of the law, together with the offices which he held, and retired into private life; giving his time and attention solely to the im

June 5. At the Parsonage House, Northill, Bedfordshire, in his 57th year, rev. John Markham, A. M. thirty-one years Minister of that parish; and formerly Fellow and Tutor of Worcester College, Oxford. Uniform integrity of conduct, primitive simplicity of manners, a heart without guile, with an enlarged understanding and a solid judgment, formed the prominent features in the character of this truly amiable man. With a conscience void of offence, and in the regular unobtrusive modest discharge of his professional du-provement and management of the large ties, he pursued "the noiseless tenor of his way," sincerely esteemed by the unmerous respectable families in his neighbourhood, and affectionately beloved and revered by his Parishioners - "Num et principum Philosophorum ita percepta habuit præcepta, ut iis ad vitam agendam, non ad ostentationem uteretur."

June 15. At Birmingham, in her 71st year, Mrs. Elizabeth Hamper, relict of the late Mr. Thomas H. She sustained a painful illness for several years with great resignation, but survived her husband only two months (see our present Volume, p. 403). Her memory will be long respected by those who have been the objects of her affectionate solicitude, and have witnessed the pleasing alacrity with which she performed the duties of life, both in

estates in Cornwall which formed the patrimonial inheritance of Mrs. Agar, and resigning himself to the enjoyment of domestic privacy and comfort. In this sphere he shone pre-eminently. To the manners and accomplishments of a perfect gentleman, he united a manliness and consistency of character, which, being founded on the genuine principles of Reli gion, and uniformly directed by the dic tates of an excellent understanding, never deviated in the slightest degree from the path of honour. Conciliating and frank in his general deportment, he exhibited dignity without the smallest alloy of pride, and displayed, in his intercourse with the world, those well-bred habits which an intimacy with polished life, engrafted upon good sense, can alone confer. But what

is far beyond the mere blandishments of demeanour, he possessed a disposition, which, naturally good, had been improved by education, and which had sufficient steadiness to pursue through life whatever was excellent, with a resolution which no temptations could beguile. Hence all who knew him respected him. But in the circle in which he more immediately moved, he was not only respected, but beloved; evincing, on all occasions, to those friends whom he esteemed, that open unreservedness of heart, which is the best pledge of sincerity, and the firmest bond of affection. He was interred at the burying-ground of St. George's, Hanover-square, on Sunday June 23, and followed to the grave by his cousin the Earl of Normanton, as chief mourner, and by Lord Aston and William Elias Taunton, esq. late of Christ Church, Oxford, and the Rev. Thomas Vialls, John Hensleigh Allen, and Lancelot Baugh Allen, esqrs. late of Trinity College, Cambridge, his school-fellows when at Westminster, with whom, among many others, he had kept up the closest intimacy. These have to lament his loss. But, besides these, he has left those to whom it is. irreparable a widow and an infant son.

eminently his due; for never was a pareut
more affectionately anxious for the welfare
of his children, or more studious to make
them happy, by teaching them to be vir-
tuous and useful. The melancholy end of
his brother, Dr. William Dodd, which at
the time was a blow that almost overpow-
ered him, more and more affected his spi-
rits as he advanced in years and declined
in strength, and was probably, in part,
the cause of his seclusion from society at
the latter period of his life. Mr. D. pos-
sessed a very powerful understanding, and
was distinguished by great manliness and
sincerity of character. He was a judicious
and faithful adviser, a frank and steady
friend. His heart was alive to all the ten-
derest feelings, and always ready to afford
the truest evidences of kindness and bene-
volence. He was a native of Bourn in
Lincolnshire, of which place his father
was for many years vicar. He was edu-
cated at Lincoln-college, Oxford, and took
orders at the usual age. Soon after be
entered upon the sacred function, he set-
tled upon the curacy of Camberwell, and11
gave so much satisfaction to the inhabit-
ants, that he was unanimously chosen Af-
ternoon Lecturer at that Church, on the
first vacancy. In 1771, he was presented
to the living of Cowley in Middlesex; and
it ought to be mentioned to his credit, that,
finding himself incapable of giving any
attention to the duties of his parish, he
voluntarily resigned this preferment, up-
wards of four years before his death. He
published, in 1766, a Translation of For-
mey's Ecclesiastical History, in 2 vols. 8vo.
and was author of a Sermon on the Import-
ance of a Religious Education, preached
in the year 1784, at Richmond in Surrey,
where he then resided, and had young per-
sons under his care.

June 17. At his house on Camberwell. green, aged 73, the Rev. Richard Dodd, M. A. Mr. D. had been confined to his bed-chamber for five years. His complaint was a general debility of system, and loss of appetite. He was aware of the decay under which he was languishing, and his resignation to the Divine will was such as becomes a teacher of that duty to others. He died, composed and peaceful, having his hope in another life. After the loss of one of the best of wives in 1802, Mr. D. retired wholly from the world, and had no enjoyment but in the company and attentions of his family.
