He was of the profession of the law, and practised for a long series of years in this city with unrivalled talents and worth of character; was a profound and discriminating lawyer, of sound judgment, and the most inflexible and unsullied integrity; and many have reason to be grateful for his advice on professional business. Several years ago he retired from the active duties of the profession, and was invested with the office of Magistracy, and thus continued his usefulness; and his brother Aldermen were happy to resort to him upon all occasions of doubt or difficulty. Mr. Bengough was a judicial steward (with others) of the corporate purse, and paid unwearied attention to the care of such of the public charities of this city as are under the ma. nagement or direction of the body corporate, and he liberally provided an asylum for the relief of the aged and destitute, which will long testify his zeal and regard for charitable institutions. In a word, he was one of the best order of men amongst us; and having died truly lamented, his memory will very long continue to be respected and cherished by every friend of honour, integrity, and virtue.-Fellow citizens, let all of us, in our several stations, imitate his example."-Farley's Bristol Journal.

At Lugwardine, near Hereford, Juliana, relict of the late Rev. Jelinger Symons, of Hackney, rector of Whitburn, Durham *, and daughter of Theophilus Lane, esq. formerly of Poston Court, Herefordshire. Upon a more liberal, benevolent, and kind-hearted human-being, or one more devoid of all selfish and unchristian feeling, the grave perhaps never closed. To this simple, but amply descriptive tribute to the character of a friend and relative, endeared to the writer by remembrances of affection and love-as far as memory itself can retrace them, he feels assured that there is not the individual who ever knew her, that will not bear the sincerest testimony. To the recollection of many by whom this obituary will be read, it will doubtless recur that a popular little production of her late revered and excellent husband's, under the title of "Letters of Consolation and Advice" + was written some years ago with the especial view of consoling the bitter and almost overwhelming anguish this invaluable and fellow-mourning parent had sustained in the loss of an amiable and beloved daughter, cut off in the early bloom of more than ordinary promise. To those realms of peaceful repose where "the weary are at rest, and the wicked shall cease from troubling," so impressively delineated in these Letters as an anchor of the mourning Christian's hope, this surviving parent has now been called, together with the child whose loss excited her sorrows, and with the husband, whose affection con

soled them, to share the enjoyment, it is humbly trusted, of endless and inseparable happiness.

May 5. Of a rapid pulmonary cousumption, at St. John's, in Bridgnorth, aged 25, Bertha, wife of Mr. James Millman Coley, surgeon of the same place, and daughter of the late Rev. Edward Davenport, of Glazeley, in the county of Salop, whose death is recorded in our Magazine, vol. LXXXIII. p. 88. Three infant children, who yet know not their melancholy loss, and an inconsolable husband, whose only happiness was concentrated in her's, are thus untimely deprived of their best and dearest friend. She She possessed an, uniform sweetness of temper, that continued to the last, and a truly Christian piety and benevolence; which qualities, originating in the heart, were conspicuous as well in the most tri fling as in the most serious affairs; and being united with a very superior understanding and refined taste, produced in her mind the noblest sentiments that could adorn the human frame. It would be superfluous, if it were possible, to detail the particular results of this happy combination of talent and virtue; but justice to her memory, and the expectations both of the rich and poor who enjoyed her society and kindness, and who will long and sincerely bewail her premature decease, bid her sorrowful survivor to record, that she was an affectionate and dutiful wife, a tender and anxious mother, an innocent and delightful companion, and a sincere friend. Her manners were elegant, engaging, and unaffected, and during the extraordinary trials to which she was exposed, both mental and physical, she manifested a degree of fortitude that excited universal admiration. Through the whole of her illness, which was very severe, and to her husband and friends most distressing, she displayed unremitting patience and resignation; and instead of complaining was thankful that Providence had not visited her with a more painful disease. In the delirium that prevailed at an early part of the complaint, and in the dreams which supervened as her sufferings increased, it was gratifying to all those, who were near her, to observe the purity of her mind and the innocence of her ideas: no horrors or agitations were discovered; but

on the contrary, as far as her disordered respiration would permit, it was her constant s udy to appear happy and composed, for the purpose of dispelling the grief which nature would sometimes force her husband, mother, and sister, (who were her constant attendants) unwillingly to express. In the very pangs of death, after her speech had left her, and she observed that those around her could no longer conceal their sorrow and distress, she, happy and contented, endeavoured to mitigate their troubles by smiling on them alternately, which she continued to do as long as sensation and life remained; and, while her eyes were thus fixed on her husband, she expired without a struggle.

The wife of Thomas Le Mercier, esq, of Vauxhall.
