In Blackfriars'-street, on Saturday last, at the advanced age of 78, Mrs. Mary BATEY, relict of Mr. Thos. BATEY, formerly a coach-maker in this City. Her life and conduct were powerfully illustrative of the influence of religion on the soul: her devotion was pure and fixed, proceeding from the heart; and all her actions evinced her love and obedience to the laws of God. She died as she had lived, highly esteemed by a numerous circle of friends.—(From a correspondent.)

 

On the night of Thursday week, in Lowther-street, awfully sudden, Mr. Wm. FORD, aged 65, formerly a fish-hook maker of note. He was discovered lifeless sitting upon a chair. A Coroner's jury sat upon the body,—verdict, died by the visitation of God.

Suddenly, at Temple-Sowerby, on the 5th instant, Mr. BLACKADDER, innkeeper, much respected.

 

Matthew HARRISON, Esq. iron master, Newland, aged 73. Mr. HARRISON was a man deserving of more than a passing notice in an obituary. By steady perseverance he has brought the sea-port of Ulverston to its present prosperous state.

At Annan, on Monday last, the Rev. Wm. Hardy MONCRIEF, in the 64th year of his age, and the 40th of his ministry.

At Dublin, on Saturday week, the Rev. C. MATURIN, after a protracted illness: but the immediate cause of his decease was his having taken a lotion, containing a large quantity of laudanum, in mistake for medicine intended for the stomach. The public is familiar with his dramatic and other works. As a preacher, he was much admired and followed.

 

At Mouswald Manse, on the 4th inst., the Rev. Jacob DICKINSON, minister of that parish, in the 88th year of his age, and 55th of his ministry. This venerable clergyman for more than half a century, discharged the arduous duties of his sacred office with exemplary fidelity. He was first ordained as pastor to a small but respectable congregation of Presbyterians, in Blennerhasset, a remote situation in the county of Cumberland. On the 17th December, 1772, he was translated to his native parish of Mouswald. He lived useful and beloved; and after surviving all his contemporaries, and seeing every parish in the presbytery, except his own, change its pastor at least three times, he died universally lamented.
