Sept. 20. At St Ann's, near Leeds, aged 60, Mrs Carr, wife of John Carr, Esq. merchant, and daughter of the late Hon. James Erskine Lord Alva, one of the Senators of the College of Justice in Scotland. Gifted by nature with a vigorous intellect, and habituated by her father to a constant use of it, she acquired an uncommon fund of knowledge and a great literary taste in early life; and her views and opinions be ing enlarged by regular intercourse with the best society of Edinburgh, her powers of conversation were such as are seldom met with in either sex. These qualifications rendered her society peculiarly acceptable and improving to the rising generation, and many who are now lamenting her loss, will recollect with gratitude how much they are indebted to her for the formation of their taste and manners. But though eminently distinguished for the accomplishments of her mind, it was for the solid qualities that adorn the heart, that she was admired and beloved by those who knew her intimately. Richly endowed with those warm affections and lively sensibilities, that form the most attractive sympathies of life, chastened by affliction and guided by principle, she entered early upon the world well prepared to suffer herself, and with grace and dignity to "weep with those that weep." Her greatest gratification, as she advanced in years, was to administer comfort to the poor and afflicted, as well as instruction to the ignorant villagers in her neighbourhood. Her a musements were chiefly literary pursuits, and the cultivation of her garden, (which was remarked throughout the neighbouring

country

country for its beauty and scientific arrangement,) and the improvement of one or two young friends who generally resided with her. In habitual devotion she found her greatest delight in health, and unabated comfort in sickness; and as she drew nearer to her end, religion shed a constant serenity over her countenance through a long and painful course of illness, afflicted as she was with the most acute sufferings, (which she bore to the last with undiminished fortitude, and the pious resignation of a Christian. Her mourning friends are consoled for their own heavy loss, by a humble confidence that she is taken to those regions where pain and sorrow are known no more. Sept. 22. At Horton, Sir Robt. Gunning, Bart. K. B.
