very zealous defender and supporter, will be felt in these times of danger and division, by all whose sentiments were in unison with his own, as well as by many of the Literati both in this country and on the Continent, to whom he was well known. It is to be regretted that with such brilliant and rare talents, he should never have entered the list of candidates for literary fame, by diffusing, through the medium of the press, that knowledge, with which his mind was so abundantly stored. March 13. At Stockton upon Tees, aged 70, Mr. John Chipchase, one of the people called Quakers; a respectable man, and a distinguished teacher of mathematics. Born to no rank but that which is our natural heritage, he depended on the assistance of kind friends, and his own industrious application, for that which he acquired. In early life he received the instruction of Mr. Claxton, an ingenious schoolmaster in Stockton, and the gra tuitous information of Mr. Wright, a mer chant of that place. But that which probably superseded, or rather completed, what these good friends had begun, was the circumstance of his being afterwards a pupil of Mr. Emerson of Hurworth, a name of the highest mathematical cele. brity. John Chipchase was a successful. teacher for the last half century. Residing in a sea-port town, his instruction was invaluable for young men studying navigation. He attended the boarding schools for young ladies; and young persons of all descriptions, under a course either of public or private education, for two, and in some instances, for three generations, have been placed under his care, and acknowledge their obligations to him; particularly for their instruction in geography and a little astronomy. Before the last long and dreadful war had shut up our communication with the Continent, several young Danes and Norwegians, connected with the Merchants in Stockton, were placed under his tuition.He had an ever-searching mind, and recorded what the unthinking would call trifles, but which are often very useful hand-maids of philosophy. He was strongly attached to his native town, and particularly to its local history. He was an active member of the religious Society with which he associated; and in controversial politics (in which he never violently engaged) his sentiments were on, what is sometimes called, the liberal side of the question. With much study, and attention to his numerous pupils, he appears to have injured his constitution, which had never been strong; and after a short, but violent attack of illness, he expired, much lamented by his scholars, who hold his memory in respect, and by his acquaintance, who, in him, always acknowledged a Friend.
