It is a conftant practice for the congregation to repeat the Lord's Prayer aloud, in whatever part of the fervice it occurs. It is believed the general form of the "confused murmuring" before the Gofpel is, Glory be to thee, O Lord!" perhaps taken from the fong of the Angels on the first publication of good tidings. As to briefs, no collection can be more public than in a place and on a day where the whole parish are fuppofed to be gathered together. unless the Gazette gave notice gratis that the minifter and churchwardens were to carry every brief from houfe to house.

He accompanied Sir Eyre Coote in his last voyage to the Faft Indies, being appointed chaplain to the Company. He was feized with the epidemical diforder of that climate not many months before his return to England, which was in July 17834 and never recovered from it. In vol. LIV. p. 717, it is noticed that he preached at the funeral of Sir Eyre Coote; qu. was the fermon published?-Mr. H. was the first, and it is thought will be the laft, chaplain to the East India Company, the Directors being of opinion, that a chapJain is an unneceffary cfficer upon their eftablishment: and the exemplary conduct. with respect to both religion and morals, of their fervants in that part of the world, affords an unquestionable proof that they stand not in need of any fpiritual inftructions and admonitions. 30.

Tyne, aged 68, John Rotheram, M.D. physician to the Infirmary and Lying-in Hofpital in that town. He was fon of the rev. Caleb R. D.D. a diffenting clergyman, many years tutor of an academy at Kendal in Weftmorland. Under the care of his worthy parent he acquired his claffical learning, and alfo applied to the ftudy of history, metaphyfics, natural and moral philofophy. In 174c he was fent to the univerfity of Edinburgh, where his knowledge and talents were feen obferved by the celebrated Mr. Maclaurin, who propofed to him to read a courfe of lectures on experimental philofophy, and favoured him with his countenance and advice. Thefe lectures were attended and approved by a numerous and most respectable audience, and the profits arifing from them were appropriated to the Public Infirmary then building at Edinburgh. After saying the ufual time in that juftly-diftinguished school of medicine, he removed to London, and purfued his ftudies under the direction of the late Dr. Smellie. Qualified as he was by natural genius and difcernment, and the advantages of education, he began to practife as a phyfician at Hexham, but foon after fixed at Newcastle, where numbers will bear teftimony to his abilities, atfiduity, and ufefulness. His memory will be refpected by the inhabitants of that place, not only for his attainments in fcience and fkill in his profeilion, but alfo for that benevolence and humanity which marked his character. Two days in a week his houfe was open to the fick poor, for whom he chearfully preferibed, and often contributed to their relief. He regularly vifited the prifoners ju the gael, without any reward but the confcioufnefs of doing good; an inftance of compaffion which Mr. Howard mentions to his honour, as rather uncommou, in his " Inquiry into the State of Prifons." In the year 1769 he was defired by the magiftrates to analyze the different waters with which that populous town is fupplied, an object of great importance. He engaged in this work with alacrity and attention, and laid before the public an explanation of his procefs, and the refults of his 4 various experiments. But his views were not confined to the analysis of the Newcaftle waters: his investigation of this fubject in general, and his remarks on many other waters, are truly ingenious, and are contained in a treatise, intituled, "A Philofophical Inquiry into the Nature and Properties of Water.
