REV. J. MOrres.

Aug. 2. The Rev. John Morres, M.A. Rector of Nether Broughton, and Chaplain of Dalby on the Wolds, co. Leicester. He was born Jan. 24, 1765, at Rochford in Herefordshire, received his school education at Leominster in that county, and was entered in April 1782 at Brasennose College, Oxford. There his inoffensive, regular, and studious babits ensured him the esteem of all, and were the ground of his introduction in 1789 to the late Earl of Radnor, who engaged him as tutor to his son, the present Earl. In that family he gained the perfect confidence and esteem of his noble patron, who in the year 1795 presented him to the above-named benefice. There, after having at his own expense rebuilt the Parsonage, with the adjacent buildings, be commenced his residence in 1798; and the same year he married Elizabeth, daughter of John Guard, Esq. of Honiton, Devonshire, with whom he lived in the greatest happiness till March, 1824, when he had the misfortune to lose her, having before also buried three children, one of whom, a son, had given early proof of the highest talents. From this time his health began to decline, till at length he exbibited symptoms of dropsy, which in the present year increased rapidly, and ended in bis dissolution, to the great grief of bis surviving son and daughter, and the sincere and universal regret of his parish and neighbourhood.

During the 32 years that he was constantly resident on his benefice, his earnest, well regulated zeal in his professional duties, his piety, moral worth, and beneficence, entitled him to the respect and gratitude of his parishioners. All his leisure hours were devoted to the study of Theology and the education of his children; but his humility deterred him from appearing before the public as an author. He never printed any thing except an address to his parishioners in the year 1800, a Sermon preached for the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and published at their request and charge in 1815, and two Essays which gained the prizes instituted by the present Bishop of Salisbury, then Bishop of St. David's, in the years 1818 and 1819.

He was presented to the vicarage of Cranborne March 6, 1787, by the late Marquis of Salisbury; and on October 26, 1797, was instituted to the rectory of Beeby, in Leicestershire, to which he was presented by the late Earl of Shaftesbury. This living he exchanged, in 1818, for Boscombe, in Wiltshire, (patron, the Bishop of Salisbury,) which he held till the day of his death. For many years he held the situation of Chaplain in his Majesty's Navy, and sailed in that capacity with the late Sir John Duckworth, and his friend Admiral Rowe, whose daughter he married on the decease of his first wife. Mrs. Donne survives him, and one daughter. His only son, the Rev. Theophilus Donne, died in Jamaica, in the year
