CHARLOTTE-TOWN, SEPTEMBER 9
The brig, Queen, William Morrison, of Greenock, with 300 passengers, and the brig Mally, John Maxwell, with 236, all from the Island of Vuist, have arrived here.
The Mally was without fuel part of the passage, and her water was so bad that it was scarcely possible to use it.
The passengers of the Queen speak handsomely of the kind treatment they received from Capt. Morrison. His conduct is worthy of being followed by all masters of vessels, and Humanity should dictate a similar treatment.

ADDRESS
To His Excellency EDMUND FANNING, L. L. D. Lieutenant General in the Army, Lieutenant Governor and Commander in Chief in and over His Majesty's Island Prince Edward; and the Territories adjacent thereunto, Chancellor and Vice Admiral of the same, &c. &c. &c.
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY.
WE His Majesty's Dutiful and Loyal Subjects the Inhabitants of King's County, having lately been informed that his Majesty has been graciously pleased to allow your Excellency to retire to the tranquil enjoyments of a private life, after a long experience of your faithful and eminent service in the no less dignified than arduous station of his own representative in this Island, beg permission to address your Excellency with an affection never before so acutely felt by us, because a like occasion never happened.
When we reflect on the impediments which lay in your Excellency's way, on your accession to this government, now more than eighteen years ago, your perseverance in its cause, your wise and impartial administration of justice, your conciliatory manners, and your unremitting exertions in promoting the advancement and prosperity of this Colony; we beg leave to assure you, Sir, in the pure and genuine language of our hearts, that we cannot sufficiently express our deep regret at your retirement, having invariably experienced in your Excellency an amiable assemblage of those virtues and talents which enable and adorn your elevated station, and make happy those who live under so mild and upright an administration.
The provision which His Majesty has been graciously pleased to direct to be in future made for your Excellency, distinguishes at one view the Royal beneficence and justice of our beloved Sovereign and the high diservings of your Excellency.
We earnestly solicit that your Excellency will be pleased on your return to England, to report us with all possible humility to our most Gracious Sovereign, as Faithful and Loyal Subjects of his Majesty, who, though at a remote distance from his Sacred Person, are excelled by none in a zealous and steady attachment to the King and his Royal Family, and Loyalty and Obedience to His Majesty's Government, under our happy Constitution in which your Excellency has ever shone our bright Example.
May we hope, Sir, that you will still make us happy by returning and residing amongst us, and that you will then enjoy that domestic happyness with your amiable Family, which is found only in the cool and peaceful shades of retirement, unless his Majesty for the public benefit, shall in his wisdom think fit to continue in activity those eminent talents, and abilities your Excellency is endowed with, in some station of more importance to the Crown and greater emolument and advantage to your Excellence.

The all devouring grave had not yet closed upon the remains of the father, when the insatiate leveller of the human race, as if unsatisfied with the desolation He had already produced, relentlessly seized upon another victim in the family; and the disconsolate mother, at one and the same moment, had to witness the heart-rending sight of her coffined husband in one room, and a darling child, shrouded and stretched upon a table in another; unconscious of her grief; cold and pale, and serenely reposing in the solemn sleep of death. What a severe wound has sensibility received in this awful, humbling dispensation of Divine Providence: but shall we murmur: ah! no – the ways of God are inscrutable, and not as the ways of men. – Let us, therefore, turn from the melancholy scene before us, and, looking with resignation to the great Disposer of human affairs, bow with calm submission to his unerring fist, and say, "Thy will be done."

MARRIAGE: MACINNIS-FLEMING - COMMUNICATION - A marriage was lately solemnized by the Rev.

The parties married were Richard Fleming and Christy M'Innis, of the Roman Catholic persuasion. A License had been obtained directed to a protestant Clergyman (or Magistrate,) but they changed their minds and applied to Mr. Fitzgerald who performed the ceremony in the usual established practice of that Church. It is much to be hoped that busy insinuation will not be allowed to operate in any way against a worthy and much respected Missionary in the due discharge of his duties.

Two hundred and six settlers arrived in the Corsair from Greenock on Wednesday last. The bulk of them have proceeded up the Hillsborough about ten miles, to be located on the south bank, above Johnston's River, on the property of the Rev. John M'Donald. They are chiefly natives of the North of Ireland, and apparently seem pleased with their change. Two births occurred on the passage, and one since their arrival. One of the crew was lost off one of the yards in a gale.
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND REGISTER, TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1830
In our last, we mentioned the arrival of the Corsair from Greenock with 206 passengers - the following notice respecting them is extracted from the Glasgow Chronicle of April 2d:-
EMIGRATION. - About thirty-two families, almost all of the Roman Catholic persuasion, were to sail on Thursday, weather permitting, from Greenock for Prince Edward Island, under the superintendance of Mr. M'Donnell, assistant clergyman in the Catholic Chapel of this city. The greater part of them belong to Glasgow, and vicinity; but a few of them are natives of Ireland and the western isles. We understand that they have been promised, on their arrival at their destination, to receive grants of land from Mr. M'Donnell, who is a native of the Island, and said to possess large tracts of ground there, which he has taken the resolution of letting out to emigrants at a mere trifle, viz., 1s. an acre. Each family, averaging three or four children, is to receive 100 acres, and to be furnished with commodious farm steadings, a cow, a horse, and other stock, which, however, are to be repaid as soon as the emigrants have it in their power. Under these impressions, they have set out with great spirit; and many of them have left very comfortable situations in this country, allured by the bright prospects held out to them by their spiritual guide. They are by no means the poorest part of our Catholic population, as all of them were able to pay their own passage, and the most needy had a surplus, while many of them have taken away considerable sums of money. One farmer from Ireland actually sold his patrimony, for which he obtained £700, and joined the expedition. The country is represented as moderately fertile.

DEATH: SERANI - On Wednesday, the 9th inst., in the 52d year of his age, Charles Serani, Esq., Barrister at Law, &c. Mr. Serani was a native of France, and came to the Island with the late Abbe de Calonne (brother of the famous financier). He at one time filled the offices of Clerk of the Crown, Prothonotary and Coroner of this Island; but having fallen into intemperate habits, and after hanging, as it were, loose on the world for some years, he gradually and at last altogether disappeared from reputable society, and, although a man of fine parts, was self-doomed to spend the concluding years of his life in abject penury. On Sunday, his remains were decently interred in the Roman Catholic burying ground.

DEATH: MACDONALD - We are sorry to learn, by a letter which we received today from St. Margaret's, East Point, that the loss of Mr. John Macdonald is considered certain. The following is the passage in the letter from which we derive our information:-
"Mr. John Macdonald, of Prospect Hill, who was chosen in our last election a member for King's County, sailed about the 15th of November, in an Arichat vessel, for Halifax, with a cargo of Grain for that market, and I am sorry to say that neither the vessel nor he had arrived there - nor is there any account of the wreck being found. Another vessel parted company with them on the evening of the 22d November, between Canso and Halifax, when it blew a heavy gale from the South East. This vessel made a harbour the same night, and arrived at Halifax soon afterwards. It is supposed that the vessel in which Mr. Macdonald went foundered at sea. He is much lamented by his numerous friends and acquaintances in this place. There were two other young lads belonging to the East Point in the same vessel."
"Your's. &c.
Alex Macdonald, J. P."

In consequence of the prevalence of a rumour that several cases of Cholera had occurred at a place called Black Bush, on the North Shore, near to where the John Wallace, from Quebec, was lately wrecked, and also that a person of the name of Wallace had died of it in the neighbourhood of St. Andrew's, Drs. De St. Croix and Mackieson were dispatched by His Honor the President on Thursday last, to make the necessary inquiries into the truth of the rumour. Their Report, which is subjoined, was communicated by his Honor to the Central Board of Health, who directed it to be published, for the purpose of suppressing any alarm that may have arisen on the subject of Cholera, of which disease there seems not to exist the smallest trace in the Island.
Charlotte-Town, Aug. 16th, 1834.
SIR – In obedience to your Honor's commands, on Thursday the 14th inst., as soon as the necessary conveyance could be procured, we left town and proceeded to St. Margaret's, Lot 45, for the purpose of ascertaining the nature of a disease reported to be prevalent in that district, supposed to be malignant Asiatic Cholera, and to have been communicated from the John Wallace, a vessel from Quebec lately wrecked in that neighbourhood, on board of which we have reason to fear that four cases of the disease had actually occurred.
On our way up to the country, we called at the house of John Cunningham, a blacksmith, residing about a mile from St. Andrew's, where a man by the name of Wallace was said to have died of Cholera. From the viva voce details of Cunningham and his wife, in reference to the circumstances connected with this occurrence, we are decidedly of the opinion that this man's death may be solely attributed to fatigue and exhaustion, together with previous bad health, and general debility.
He arrived at Cunningham's on Friday the 8th inst. and, from his own statement, had come from Three Rivers, and was going in a direction towards the Capes. He was an itinerant beggar, and from the circumstance of his having some hard sea biscuit in his wallet, and a glazed hat somewhat resembling such as are frequently worn by sailors, it was at once conjectured that these articles must have been procured from the wreck; but we are quite assured, on minute inquiry, that he had never been able to proceed further eastward than the precise spot where he died. The glazed hat and biscuit, together with the emaciated appearance of this poor creature, were sufficient, at the moment of alarm, to impress on the highly excited minds of the bystanders a strong conviction that he was labouring under Cholera. He was, of course, not allowed to enter the house – was sent to the stable, and there supplied with such comforts as the family could afford. He languished from Friday to the following Monday (the 11th inst.) when he expired. Immediately after his death he was buried in his clothes, and without a coffin, among some bushes a short distance from the stable, and which, to prevent the spread of contagion, it was deemed expedient forthwith to consume to ashes.
The family of a publican, by the name of Gill, at St. Margaret's, was also reported to have been attacked by Cholera – we called at the house, and were informed that Mr. Gill was absent in Newfoundland on his private affairs, and that all the members of his family were in the actual enjoyment of excellent health.
From Gill's we proceeded to the residence of James Macdonald, of Black Bush, whose wife and child, according to report, had recently died of a disorder resembling Cholera – here again we were happy to find that no symptoms of this disease could be traced – Mr. Macdonald gave us a clear and intelligent description of their complaints, and, from his statement, the infant, about thirteen months' old, evidently died of a bowel affection which had prevailed in the neighbourhood and from which several of his younger children had suffered. – Mrs. Macdonald, it would appear, shortly after the wreck of the vessel (which happened about a quarter of a mile from their house), complained of slightly disordered bowels; but from the employment of a little medicine, administered by her professional attendant, was soon enabled to resume the duties of her family. In a day or two after this, she, imprudently, while under the influence of complaints peculiar to her sex, went to a cold spring for the purpose of rinsing out some home made cloth, and was suddenly seized, and, probably, from this cause, with the usual symptoms of pneumonia – pain in the chest, difficulty of breathing, cough, &c. She died on the fourth day, and we have no hesitation in pronouncing her death, to have been the result of pulmonic inflammation.
We have thus, Sir, with every possible regard to expedition, having travelled upwards of a hundred miles, faithfully discharged the duties imposed upon us, and take the earliest opportunity of acquainting your Honor, for the information of the public, that the reports of the existence of Asiatic malignant Cholera in the districts we have been called upon to visit, are altogether imaginary and without slightest foundation.

ROYAL GAZETTE, CHARLOTTETOWN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1834
As an act of justice to Mr. Craig, the Surgeon who attended the family of Mr. M'Donald, of Big Bush, during the whole of the illness with which they were recently afflicted, we herewith insert a letter which he has addressed to us, in which the particulars of the different cases are set forth.
To the Editor of the Royal Gazette
SIR,
Owing to the very numerous reports that have been circulated, concerning the family of James Macdonald, of this place, I would wish to make a few remarks, as I see the disease has been pronounced to be Pneumonia.
On the 31st day of July, I visited Donald Macdonald, æt. 3 years, at 10 o'clock, A.M., when I found him to have a most ghastly appearance; his eyes were deep sunk, and surrounded by a dark areola; his lips purple, mouth dry, tongue covered with a dark thick crust; vomiting and purging excessive, and of a dark bilious appearance; extremities cold; pulse 120; thirst incessant, but immediately on taking any drink, it was again thrown off. I immediately ordered him a warm bath, and to be well dried - stimulants applied over the region of the stomach; I then gave him an anodyn. haust., ordered him to be wrapped in warm flannel, and put to bed, paying attention to have the extremities kept as warm as possible by friction, &c. I saw him again in the evening, when he had got some good rest; his breathing greatly relieved; vomiting nearly ceased; purging continued. I then ordered slight astringents, and to continue the external heat. In the morning, he was considerably relieved. I then ordered slight cathartics, since which he is well.
August 1st. - Flora Macdonald, æt. 8, was this morning seized with the same symptoms, which commenced in the same manner, only that the pain in the stomach was far more severe. I followed nearly the same treatment. She got well the next evening.
August 2d. - Catherine Macdonald, æt. 15 months, had the same symptoms; but I did not see her until 8 hours after her first attack; observed much the same treatment, but extremities could not be kept warm. I ordered bottles, filled with warm water, to be applied, and continued a gentle friction; gave stimulants internally; but, however, all failed, and she expired same evening.
August 4th. - Mrs. Macdonald æt. 38, was this morning attacked in the same manner, only the pain in the stomach far more severe, I might say, tantamount to spasm; I gave a dose of calomel and opium, followed by haust. anodyn., and then used the general treatment; she got into a fair convalescent state on the Wednesday following; but, that same evening, going to the spring to clean some clothes, she had a relapse, in a far more violent manner. All the remedies that I could apply, viz. sedatives, stimulants, astringents, heat and friction, took no effect; cold clammy sweats, great prostration of strength, coldness of the extremities, hiccough, with the eyes deep sunk into the orbits, the purple areola, lividity of the lips and about the nails of the fingers, which, on the Saturday evening following, terminated her existence, being six days from the first attack.
Alexander Macdonald, æt. 14, on the 8th of August complained of the same symptoms, and had nearly the same treatment, and, on the 10th, was convalescent.
Now, Sir, if the one was a case of Pneumonia, I should be led to believe that all were; and as to the third case alluded to, I had the opportunity of seeing the child frequently since she was born, and I never knew her to be sickly, unless from dentition, or such like – so that I think it was a disease of a contagious nature, and that I was justifiable in advising the people to be cautious, in having intercourse with that family.
| ||||||||||||
Big Bush, Aug. 23, 1834.
On comparing the foregoing letter with the Report of the Medical gentlemen who were sent from Charlottetown, chiefly with the view of ascertaining the nature of the malady under which Macdonald's family laboured; and viewing the minuteness of the details given in the one case and their brevity in the other, we cannot help being struck with the different conclusions arrived at by the different reporters. The Charlottetown doctors state in their report that the infant "evidently died of a bowel afffection;" and as the mother, they have no hesitation in pronouncing her death to have been the result of pulmonic inflammation." On the other hand, Dr. Craig, who attended all the patients during the whole of their illness, "thinks it was a disease of a contagious nature." One thing is clear – Macdonald's house was in the immediate vicinity of the spot where a vessel admitted to have been infected went on shore; in a few days, five of the family are seized with a disease, resembling that which had proved fatal to half the crew of the said vessel – his wife and one of his children die, and their medical attendant is of the opinion, of the same malady. What is the consequence? – Macdonald's house is shunned by all the neighbourhood, and no one will hold the smallest intercourse with him. Things were in this position when the two doctors from Charlottetown arrived; and a reference to their Report will shew that all the information they obtained was derived from Macdonald himself. Now, "clear and intelligent" as his description may have appeared to them, is there anything unreasonable in supposing, that, unpleasantly situated as he was, and desirous of having the ban of the neighbourhood removed, which a favourable report from the doctors was the most likely means of accomplishing, he would be apt to frame his answers so as to produce that end? And it is natural also to presume, that the two medical gentlemen themselves, although both men of unquestionable courage, were disposed to make their stay in the infected region as brief as possible. Their anxiety to leave it was so great, that they could not wait for the return of Dr. Craig, who was only a few miles off, although the only person competent to give them all the information they were sent to obtain. Compare their breathless haste in returning with the length of time it required to complete their preparations for leaving town, and the idea will not appear by any means absurd. The conclusion is forced upon us that rather too much was sacrificed to a "regard for expedition," particularly in the latter stage of their progress; as the shortness of their stay prevented them from obtaining the best information that might have been procured – at any rate, on a calm consideration of the whole case, it will, we think, be admitted, that the reports which were in circulation of a disease resembling Cholera being in the district which they visited, were neither so "imaginary" nor so destitute of foundation, as their report would leave us to believe.

DEATH: MACEACHERN - On Thursday, the 23rd instant, from the effece of paralysis, the Right Rev. Æneas Bernard M'Eachern, Roman Catholic Bishop of Charlottetown and New Brunswick, aged 76. Beloved, respected and esteemed, not only by those of his own persuasion, but by every member of the community, this truly pious and estimable Prelate has, by his departure from this sublunary scene, after a long and laborious life, spent in the unwearied discharge of his official duties, and distinguished by numerous acts of unostentatious benevolence, left a void in society that will be long felt by those who enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance, and a character as a man and a christian beyond all panegyric. He was born in the North of Scotland, and educated in Valladolid, in Spain. In 1782, he entered into holy orders. It is now upwards of forty-four years since he came to this Island, where his father and family had settled, and commenced his labours as a Missionary under the Bishop of Quebec, being then almost the only clergyman in the Island. Under such circumstances, his life was one of incessant toil and privation; constantly employed in visiting the scattered Settlements, in a country destitute of roads or other accomodations, sometimes in boats, at others toiling on foot, he never, even at the most inclement seasons of the year, for a moment, shrunk from difficulties when called upon to administer the consolations of religion, whether to the European settler or the friendless Indian. Faithful to the last, death itself may be said to have found him at his post; for, when struck with the disease which proved mortal, he was in the actual discharge of his duty, twelve miles from his own residence. We hope to be enabled to supply hereafter a more detailed account of the life and labours of this faithful servant of God. In 1821, he was appointed titular Bishop of Rosen, and a suffragan Bishop under Quebec; and on the 11th November, 1830, he was installed Bishop of Charlottetown. As a proof of his zeal for the advancement of learning, he transferred his house and valuable property at St. Andrew's, head of the Hillsborough, to Trustees, for the benefit of the College at that place, of which he was the founder.

CHARLOTTE-TOWN
DEATH: MACKINNON CHAISSON - The Schooner Mary, H. Webster, Master, from St. John's, Newfoundland, bound to this port, arrived at Souris on Thursday last. The harbour was partially frozen over, but she has succeeded in getting into safe moorings, and will remain there the winter. She left St. John's on the 18th December, at which time the Small Pox was making great ravages among the crowded population of that town. We have seen a private letter of the 13th, which states that there were then upwards of two thousand cases; and the Newfoundland Patriot of the 15th contains the following information on the subject:
"SMALL POX. - Not the slightest abatement, we are sorry to say, has taken place during the past week, in this most malignant disease. Since its appearance in this town upwards of five hundred individuals have been swept away by it to the tomb, and at the present moment a large number of severe cases still exist. It is no uncommon thing to see people with their faces covered with the pustule denoting the disease, transacting their ordinary business, or walking in the streets. We hear of no one taking the disease however, who has been successfully vaccinated for the cow-pock."
Previous to the Mary's leaving St. John's, Angus Mackinnon, of Pisquid, belonging to the vessel, was seized with Small Pox. Upon this being discovered he was removed to the Hospital, where he died on the 15th Dec. being eight days from the time he sickened. Oliver Chasson, of Rollo Bay, one of the passengers, was unwell when they sailed; this, however, excited no particular attention, until after they had been some days at sea, when he also exhibited unequivocal symptoms of Small Pox. After this became apparent, the other passengers (twenty in number), and the crew, removed to the after part of the vessel, and the patient was left alone in the forecastle, where he received every attention that circumstances would permit, and was supposed to be doing well. It appears, however, that soon after he arrived at Souris, his friends, who reside in the neighbourhood, erected a hut in the woods, to which he was removed during a very cold night, and, as might naturally be expected, after such an operation, he soon after ceased to breathe – exposure to cold in this disease having a tendency to check the excretion of the humors, which generally proves fatal.

BUCKLEY RATH - Mr. Editor, - We were a little surprised to find our names inserted in the Royal Gazette, saying that William Buckley and Henry Rath, of Lot 47, were fined in the sum of Fifteen Pounds, with costs, which we flatly deny. It says, for retailing liquors at the Sugar Sale on Lot 47. This was an information lodged before two of our County Magistrates to that effect, but, unfortunately, Benjamin Morrow lodged the complaint before Magistrates who were not competent to reckon three months; and, as Solomon the wise says, "Wo to the land, when the King is a child," which is applicable to our Magistrates; but we being from the Land of Song, and our heads purty long, appealed from the Magistrates' Judgement to a higher tribunal, where were men of talent; and the bright Magistrates' Judgement was upset. The poor unfortunate informer might call it the Sugar Sale, when he expected to pocket Seven Pounds Ten Shillings of our money, but his vain hopes have made themselves wings, and have flown away, and the poor man has to pay all costs.

ROYAL GAZETTE, CHARLOTTE-TOWN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1840
DEATH: MACDONALD - On the morning of the 1st instant, Rev. Charles Macdonald, Catholic Pastor of this Parish. He was born in the village of Mohill, County Leitrim, Ireland – in that village he was alike remarkable for his precocious virtue and talents. Having acquired a perfect knowledge of the classics, he migrated to this Island. Desirous of becoming a divine minister, in its fullest extent, he commenced his theological course at St. Andrew's College – having quickly, but thoroughly, become acquainted with that arduous and complicated study, he was promoted to the Priesthood ; he did not merely aspire to wear the Sacredotal Robes, but desired to bear all the burden of Christ's sweet yoke – he left his native country to indulge in his only luxury, that of relieving the distressed. Thus qualified, he entered upon the active ministerial life, in the central district in this Island, where he vigilantly acquitted himself, not only of his own parochial duties, but many others, which his charity and zeal brought him from more distant parts; never was he found to shrink from the loathsome diseases, or foul contagion, never recoiling from the death-bed of the most abandoned and impenitent, always ready to put ease and repose, and even necessary nourishment aside, to answer the summons of the most wretched outcast from human sympathy. These were the daily duties of his state, and the only relief from them was to catechize the children, to prepare for the pulpit, to confer with those who sought instruction and information, and pass hours listening to the recital of human frailty, and striving to reclaim the sinner and to console the afflicted just – add to this the large portion of the day required for public and private devotions, all of which is but an imperfect outline of the Catholic clergyman's life – with him all this was a labour of love. Years were probably cut off from his life by the prodigal zeal to which he condemned himself, his health became impaired. He was located in this town in order to lessen his ministerial duties, and to have a ready opportunity of medical assistance; nevertheless he continued to perform the duties on him devolving. His life was a source of uneasiness to his friends, and the calamity which has lately afflicted them had long been feared by all but himself – for amidst the variety of his occupations, the thought of death, and the duty of preparation for it, had never been absent from his mind – his religious duties were on no occasion sacrified to other employments, however useful; and the habitual piety of his life had become more intense and more fervent in proportion as he drew near his end. His last act of useful consciousness was to give his blessing to those who knelt at his bed of death; his last breath was drawn and his soul arose heavenward, amidst the prayers of his beloved flock. Yes, we believe that no one witnessed his last moments, who did not envy the patient sufferer, or hope at least for an end like his – not a regret seemed to disturb his resignation, not an anxiety to dampen his hope, not an uneasy thought to ruffle his serenity, he appeared to leave the world with that same peace in which he had ever lived with it; he sealed a life of unpretending virtue and piety by a calm and gentle death, which happened in the Thirtieth year of his life, and the fifth of his ministry. What has been said present perhaps no supereminent actions such as funeral eulogists make use of – deeds which are inscribed on brazen tablets for the admiration of posterity, or flashes of genius, which win their way to an earthly immortality, they should on that account, we think, be the dearer to humanity; we may wonder indeed, or be in awe at those qualities which leave our imitation far behind, but we must always love the character which arrives, without effort, at universal respect, and gain unlooked for honors, usually granted to more brilliant excellencies – they were the social and domestic, as well as the ecclesiastical virtues, which procured for him the unparalleled estimation with those classes of men with whom he became acquainted; the ambitious may joy in procuring durable fame, at the cost of inflicted misery, and all its consequent curse, much better is it for him the recollection of whose useful and holy life dies gradually away upon the lives of the poor, as they expire each in his turn, with a benediction on his name. But his name, whom we have met two or three days ago to commemorate with solemn rites of expiation, will not even so be distinguished, it will pass on to later times connected with the eventful history of religion in this our age; and never will it be recorded without some epithet that may attest his benevolence, his charity and his zeal. Be comforted then, be comforted, ye who ever held him dear, or were bound to him by the bond of affection – "Let your voice rest from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for there is a reward for his work, saith the Lord." (Jer. xxxi. 16) – and he has left to his name honour and dear remembrance, and to his country praise, and to his religion additional blessings in the mouths and hearts of many. - Communicated.
