man of many strange sights, vicissitudes, and perils. "At one time (he says) in 1822, after I came home, I little thought I should ever require to apply for a pension; and, therefore, made no application until I really stood in need of it. "I eke out my subsistence in the best manner I can. Coffee made from the raspings of bread (which I obtain from the bakers) twice a day, is my chief diet. A few potatoes, or any thing I can obtain with a few pence, constitute my dinner. My only luxury is tobacco, which I have used these forty-five years. To beg, 1 never will submit. Could I have obtained. a small pension for my past services, I should then have reached my utmost earthly wish, and the approach of utter belplessness would not haunt me as it at present does in my solitary home. Should I be forced to sell it, all I would obtain could not keep me, and pay for lodgings for one year; then I must go to the poor's house, which God in his mercy forbid. I can look to my death-bed with resignation, but to the poor's house I cannot look with composure. I have been a wanderer, and the child of chance, all my days; and now only look for the time when I shall enter my last ship, and be anchored with a green turf upon my breast; and I care not how soon the command is given." CLERGY RECENTLY DECEASED, Sept. 14. At Milford, near Lymington, aged 64, the Rev. Whitehead Dennis, M. A. of Queen's College, Oxford, and son of the Rev.

An alarm being instantly given, surgical assistance was sent for, but it was of no avail; he expired in a few minutes. It appeared in evidence that the unfortunate gentleman had been afflicted with a dangerous fever, which had affected his mind, and was the cause of the dreadful act. The Jury returned a verdict of Insanity. He had been for some time officiating for the Rev. Thomas Margetts during the illness of that gentleman at the Curacy of Doddington, in the Isle of Ely.

At Preston Bagot, co. Warwick, in his 53d 53d year, the Rev. John Cartwright, Rector of that place. Oct. 24. After a few days' illness, at the house of the Rev. J. N. Goulty, Brighton, universally esteemed and deservedly lamented, in his 77th year, the Rev. David Bogue, D. D. of Gosport. He had been about 50 years Pastor of the Church of Protestant Dissenters at Gosport, was tutor of the Missionary Seminary, and one of the first promoters of the London Missionary Society. On Tuesday, Nov. 1, the remains of Dr. Bogue were removed from Brighton to Gosport, attended by a deputation of the London Missionary Society, and many other friends. Marks of respect for his memory were manifested by the inhabitants of Brigh ton, and of the several towns through which the procession passed. At Fareham, the deacons and trustees of the Chapel in which the deceased officiated, joined the procession, in mourning coaches, and several private carriages followed in their train; about a mile from Gosport, the body was received by the Church and Congregation over which the deceased had presided, as well as by the students of the seminary under his care; by whom it was conducted to the vestry-room adjoining the Independent Chapel, in Gosport, where it was deposited for the night. On the following morning, the remains of Dr. Bogue were conveyed into the Chapel, of which he had been Minister nearly half a century, when a funeral oration was delivered by the Rev. John Griffin, of Portsea, to a crowded auditory. At twelve o'clock the funeral procession moved towards Alverstoke, and on reaching the new burial ground, the funeral service was read by the Rev. Henry Aubrey Veck, and the procession returned in the same order that it came. In the evening a funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Winter, when the Chapel was crowded to excess, and multitudes were prevented from gaining adinission. During the day the shops and houses of the inhabitants were closed, and all seemed desirous of expressing their esteem and veneration for the memory of the deceased. His loss will be as deeply and as extensively felt amongst Dissenters as that perhaps of any man of his day. He was one of those men who contributed greatly to influence the character of the public mind. Oct. 28. At the Rectory, Timsbury, co. Somerset, aged 77, the Rev. William Brudenell Barter, M. A. Rector of that place, Prebendary of Walton in Gordano, in Wells Cathedral, a Magistrate for the County of Somerset, and a Vice President of the Bath and West of England Agricultural Society. He was of Baliol College, Oxford; M. A. Dec. 2, 1773, which body, in 1783, presented him to the Rectory of Timsbury. In 1798 he was elected Prebendary of Walton in Gordano. To the public, he was an active, able, and upright supporter of its several in [Nov. terests, which fell under the examination of his intelligent and enquiring mind. In his sacred calling as a Christian Minister, he strenuously upheld, with much erudition, and the firmest conviction of their divine truth, the doctrines of the Church of England; maintaining at the same time a liberality of sentiment, which suggested the most indulgent considerations for those whose religious tenets were at variance with his own. In private life, his characteristic manliness, peculiarly softened by the most amiable feelings of affection; his charity, which was never dormant; his society, ever instructive and exhilarating, very powerfully attracted the love and esteem of a large circle of relatives and friends; and whilst his integrity and religious rectitude directed his attachments to the most deserving, his benevolence forbad him to look upon any man with supercilious disregard. An extensive neighbourhood will have to deplore the loss of a most valuable man, whose conduct in his various avocations was most exemplary, whether in fulfilling the duties of a pastor to his flock, over whom he presided at Timsbury 42 years, or as a magistrate, or in superintending various measures of a public nature, or as a friend; thus devoting his life to the service of his God, to his country, and to his relatives and friends.
