SUFFOLK.

Married.] Mr. William Rose, of Boxford, to Miss E. Wright, youngest daughter of William W. esq. of Coshall.

Died.] The Rev. John Brand, M.A. rector of St. George, Southwark, and vicar of Wickham, Skeith, in this county. He was formerly of Caius College, Cambridge, where he proceeded A.B. 1766. A. M. 1769. When he had obtained the latter degree, he wrote an ethical essay, entitled Conscience," intended as a candidate for one of the Seatonian prizes; but an accidental delay which it met with upon the road, occasioned its being presented to the vice-chancellor two days after the appointed time, and on that account, it could not be admitted to the competitions. Mr. Brand, however, published his poem in a quarto pamphlet, in 1772, and it met with applause for some bold and poetical passages which it contains. His subsequent publications have been:"Observations on some of the probable Effects of Mr. Gilbert's Bill, (with Remarks deduced from Dr. Price's Account of the National Debt);" a pamphlet, 8vo. 1776. "The Alteration ofthe Constitution of the House of Commons,and the Inequality of the Land-tax Considered conjointly," a pamphlet 8vo. 1793. "A Sermon, on Luke xix. 41. 42. preached on the occasion of the Fast, Feb. 28. 1794," 4to. and Considerations on the Depression of the Funds, and the present Embarrassments of Circulation; with Propositions for some Remedies to each," a pamphlet, 8vo. 1797. The profundity and ingenuity of Mr. Brand's political pamphlets, gained him very distinguished credit. He was an excellent calculator, a powerful reasoner, and a very acute, and able writer. Of the pamphlet on the Alteration of the Constitution of the House of Commons, and the Inequality of the Land-tax, it may be said in particular, that the press has seldom produced a more masterly production.

Richard Shepherd, D.D. formerly of Corpus Christi-college, Oxford, rector of Wetherden, and Helmingham, in this county, and archdeacon of Bedford, 78. He was an instance of very considerable erudition, united with rare condescension; and though he filled an office of dignity in the church, he was not the less attentive to the humbler, but equally important duties of a parish-priest. In him the poor will long deplore the loss of a kind benefactor, and all of a zealous pastor. His publications, which are various, all breathe the spirit of a mild benevolence; and evince the liberal and enlightened divine, added to the pious and rational philosopher.

At Palgrave, Mrs. Lloyd, the wife of the Rev. C. Lloyd. The situation in which she had been for many years placed, was arduous and important. In addition to the care of a young, numerous, and increasing family of her own, she had to superintend the domestic concerns of a flourishing school of the first respectability. The accurate judgment, unremitting care, and maternal kindness, with which she performed her duty in this capacity, secured the esteem, and excited the gra titude of all concerned. As a wife, her memory will always be revered by him who knew her by that endearing name. Her loss to him is the loss of a steady, faithful, and affectionate, friend, and of a calm, dispassionate, and judicious, monitor. As a mother, her affection for her children, though ardent and uniform, was always tempered by prudence and judgment. Too wise, too compassionate to sacrifice their future interests to the gratification of the humours and fancies of childhood, her aim was to check, as it rose, every improper feeling, and rectify, in its birth, every wrong idea peculiar to this age; to inculcate and exact obedience to precepts which had reference to the whole of their existence, which contemplated their usefulness and respectability here, and their eternal happiness hereafter. In forming an opinion upon any subject, she exercised the most mature deliberation; but when once her conclusions were drawn, when the course of conduct which she ought to follow was clearly ascertained, she pursued it with a perseverance which nothing could abate. In her were happily united firmness of mind and suavity of manners. In ail the trials and dangers of life, she was perfectly calm and collected; an entire stranger to every boisterous and angry passion. A character so amiable, so eminently and steadily virtuous, could not fail to obtain universal respect and esteem. Every tongue is eloquent in her praise. Poverty blesses her memory, and bedews her grave with the tear of gratitude. The powerful principles of rational religion were the seed from which sprang such an abundant harvest of good works. Her God was her father, and her brethren mankind. The first alarming At the Parsonage, Wetherden, the Rev. symptoms of the fatal disorder which termi

At Saxmundham, C. Bell, esq. 77.

nated

nated the life of this excellent woman, appeared in August last, and soon deprived her friends of the least hope of her recovery. From its commencement to its close, every day witnessed the gradual progress of her malady, and afforded proofs, from within and from without, that her dissolution was fast approaching. To her a scene of trial was a scene of glory. Sufferings unveiled the beauty of holiness which adorned the saint. For bidden to indulge the dearest hopes which animate the breast of a parent, those of seeing her offspring rise up to be blessings to the world, expecting every moment, amidst the pains and sorrows of a lingering illness, to close for ever her eyes on the objects of her fondest affection, though

"Long at her couch Death took his patient

stand,

And menaced oft, and oft withheld the blow," The days of her affiction passed away, and not a murmar escaped the lips of the dying Christian. With patience she ran the race that was set before her. However dark and rugged the path which conducts to the valley of the shadow of Death, she trod it with a firm and unhesitating step. She has arrived at her destined goal, and her reward is sure.
