1821, August 30, Mr. PETER CAFFYN, of Horsham, aged 72 years. "He was for many years a deacon of the General Baptist Church in that town, and fulfilled that office with diligence, piety and faithfulness. Providence had favoured his early industry with a happy success, and smiled graciously upon his labours. But although his ground brought forth plentifully, he did not say to himself, like the rich man in the parable, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?' He did not say to his soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years: take thine ease, eat, drink and be merry.' No, Christians, his language was, For what purpose has God favoured us with these blessings, but that we should do good, one to another?' Numbers of poor persons bear testimony, with gratitude, to the manifest pleasure with which he relieved their necessities. Numbers of poor children are indebted to his benevolence for their education. He was a firm and extraordinary supporter of the British and Foreign Bible Society; and delighted in nothing more, than in assisting to spread abroad that sacred volume among the human race, from which he himself had derived such comfort and consolation. His familiar acquaintance with the Holy Scriptures was remarkable, and was an evidence of the diligence with which he had studied them. He declared, a little before his death, that this indeed was a source of great joy to him; and that he never experienced the benefits of his intimate acquaintance with the Holy Scriptures, so much as now! But that now he could say to his heavenly Father, with a firm reliance on the wisdom and goodness of his providence, 'Not my will, but thine be done.' On a death-bed, with eternity in view, The hoary head is indeed a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. Venerable indeed in old age is that Christian, whose past life has been devoted to pious and useful purposes

"Where fruits of holiness appear
Like clusters on the vine.'

his funeral sermon, preached by the Rev. Thomas Sadler, from The hoary head is a crown of glory when found in the way of righteousness, and which gave general satisfaction. Two clergymen attended on the occasion, a proof at once of their good sense and liberality. E.

Sept. 5, at Hereford, in his 66th year, the Rev. GEORGE COPE, D.D. Canon Residentiary of that Cathedral, Vicar and Portionist of Bromyard, and Vicar of Madley, in that diocese. By his will he has bequeathed

£1000, to be divided between the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, the Society for re-building Churches, and the School for the Orphan Children of Clergy.

£1000, the interest to be annually appropriated to Ten Old Maidens,

or Single Women of virtuous character.

£500, for a Window of Painted or Stained Glass for the Cathedral

of Hereford.

£200, the interest to provide an Eighth Chorister at Hereford.

£200, to the General Infirmary of that place.

£200, to St. Ethelbert's Hospital for fuel for the poor at Christmas. £200, to the poor of the parish of Allensmore and Clehonger. £200, to the poor of Sellack and Caple. £300, to the poor of Bromyard. £300, to the poor of Madley. £300, to St. Peter's, Hereford.

satisfaction was in the justice of his proceeding, and his enjoyment in the success of his labours. Mr. Rennie was also highly praiseworthy for the cheerfulness with which he forwarded the views of those who made useful discoveries or improvements in machinery or implements. He gave to inventors all the benefits of his experience, removed difficulties which had not occurred to their author, or suggested alterations which adapted the inventions to their use. No jealousy nor self-interest ever prevented the exercise of this free and unbounded communication. The love of science was superior in his mind to all mercenary feeling.

Mr. Rennie married early in life Miss Mackintosh, whom he had the misfortune to lose some years ago, but who left him an interesting and accomplished family. The remains of this ingenious individual were deposited in St. Paul's Cathedral, in the presence of a great number of distinguished and scientific persons who attended the funeral as a testimony of respect.

On the 27th ult., at his house in St. Giles's, Norwich, EDWARD RIGBY, Esq., M. D.-A long life of exertion, which had scarcely been chequered either by disease or accident, was closed by an indisposition of eight days, during which the public feeling was most painfully excited, and the utmost anxiety hourly betrayed about every change of symptoms that affected the continuance of so distinguished and valuable a man. He was in the 74th year of his age, and since 1762 had spent his in time Norwich, first in

learning, and afterwards in practising, his profession. He was born at Chowbent, in Lancashire, on the 27th of December, 1747. His father was Mr. John Rigby, of an ancient family in Lancashire, and maternal nephew of Mr. John Mort, whose life was published by Mr. H. Toulmin, Judge in the Mississippi Territory. His mother was Sarah, the only daughter of the learned John Taylor, D. D., of Norwich. He was fortunate in being placed early under the care of Dr. Priestley, from whose example he derived that love of philosophical research, which formed one of the leading characteristics of his powerful mind. At the age of 14, he came to Norwich, the residence of Mr. Richard Taylor, his maternal uncle, and was apprenticed to Mr. David Martineau, an eminent surgeon in that city. At the expiration of his term of indenture, he completed in London the customary course of a medical education, and returned to Norwich to exercise his profession.

Mr. Rigby was gifted by nature with a fine person, and an amenity of disposition and manners, which aiding his acute intellect, unwearied assiduity, and extensive knowledge and skill, soon lifted him into the first rank of practice; and while his services were sought by the opulent and middle orders of society, his kindness of heart, and his earnest desire of assisting his fellow-creatures and promoting his own acquirements, led him into the hovels of the poor, whensoever he was solicited. It was in his nature to bring his whole mind into action upon all occasions; and thus, while he visited in his professional capacity, his cheer, fulness, his power of conversation, and his universal desire of imparting the knowledge he possessed, rendered him as delightful as a companion as respected for his skill. Amongst the poor he was almost as often their benefactor as their physician. Thus experience early matured a judgment not less strong by nature than conversant with the theory and in the literature of his art.

The same benevolent dispositions, and the same ardour in his pursuits, led him to turn a portion of his little leisure towards political economy, and he studied deeply and attentively the interests and the management of the poor.

In 1788, he broke from his numerous engagements, and visited France, a part of Italy and Switzerland, in company with the Rev. George Cadogan Morgan, nephew of the celebrated Dr. Price, and another friend. It happened that they reached Paris just at the explosion of the Revolution. He was detained in tha

city a week, during which the attack of the Bastille and the massacre of the Thuilleries took place. He became acquainted with Turgot, Roland, and other persons distinguished at that period; and he has written a very animated and interesting journal of the events, which remains among his unpublished papers.

After being presented with the Freedom of Norwich, he was elected one of its Aldermen. He served the office of Sheriff in 1803; that of Mayor in 1805; and was during 16 years indefatigable in performing the duties of a magistrate, by attending all public meetings, directing the management of the poor, exposing abuses, and watching over every thing that could influence the prosperity and comfort of his fellow-citizens. In politics he took on all important occasions a decided part, and throughout life maintained steadily the noble and liberal principles which he had imbibed in his earlier years. Such was the capacity of his genius, that he was deeply versed in the literature of the day, and was possessed of almost every branch of science, more particularly physiology, botany and natural history. He was a Fellow of the Linnæan and Horticultural Societies; a Member of the Corporatiou of Surgeons, and the Medical Society of London; au Honorary Member of the Philadelphia Society for promoting Agriculture; and was attached to many other institutions both foreign and domestic. His philanthropy led him to set on foot in the year 1786, a Benevolent Medical Society for the Relief of the Widows and Orphans of Medical Men in the County of Norfolk, of which he was Treasurer until his death. -Requiring no other relaxation than that produced by a change of employment, he spent his hours of retirement in attending to improvements in agriculture, in which he was distinguished as much as in other pursuits to which he gave his attention. His facility in writing was extraordinary; and the various works which his pen has produced will leave permanent proofs of his genius, experience and industry.-In relation to private life, Dr. Rigby was equally great and singular. A numerous list of relatives and descendants for four generations remain to lament his loss: and the inhabitants of Norwich will long consider it an honour to their city to have retained a Rigby for half a century to adorn it by his talents, and benefit and improve it by his unremitting labours.

He was the author of several valuable and useful works; one in particular on the Practice of Midwifery, has passed through five editions, and has been trauslated into French and German. Among

melancholy pleasure in adding a sketch of her character; but having heard her repeatedly express a wish that no such tribute should be paid to her memory, he is obliged to deny himself this gratification. He trusts, however, that he shall not greatly offend against her wish by saying, that religion was in her a practical and active principle, that, supported by the prospects of Christianity, she bore a lingering and painful illness with pious resignation, and reaped the fruit of a well-spent life in the composure with which she looked forward to the approach

of death.

-17, of apoplexy, at his house in James Street, Buckingham-Gate, Rear-Admiral BURNEY, F. R. S., in his 72nd year, eldest son of the learned and elegant historian of music, and brother to two very distinguished persons of the present age, Madame d'Arblay, the justly celebrated novelist, and the late Dr. Charles Burney [see Mon. Repos. XIII. 66, 67], a mem ber of that triumvirate of profound scholars, which has adorned our own immediate times. Admiral Burney entered into the Royal navy at a very early period of his life, and accompanied Captain Cook in his two last voyages. His “History of Voyages of Discovery," and his account of the "Eastern Navigations of the Russians," and other works, bear testimony to his science as a geographer. The following passage in a letter written by Dr. Johnson to Mrs. Thrale, upou Capt. Burney's promotion and appointment to the Bristol 50 gun ship, in 1781, shews how great an interest the naval officer had excited in the breast of the learned moralist :-"I am willing, however, to hear that there is happiness in the world, and delight to think on the pleasure diffused among the Burneys. I question if any ship upon the ocean goes
