The sweet remembrance of the just

Shall flourish while they sleep in dust. -The New York Packet, Thursday, October 6. 1785.

We are informed that about twenty of the Episcopal Clergy, joined by delegates of Lay gentlemen, from a number of the congregations in several of the Southern States, lately assembled in convention at Christ Church, Philadelphia, revised the Liturgy of the Church of Eng land, (adapting it to the late revolution,) expunged some of the creeds, reduced the thirty nine articles

to twenty in number, and agreed on a letter, addressed to the Archbishops and the Spiritual Court in England, desiring they would be pleased to obviate and difficulties that might arise on application to them for consecrating such respectable clergy as should be appointed and sent to London from their body, to act as Bishops on the continent of America, where there is at present only one Prelate dignified with episcopal powers, viz. the Right Reverend Dr. Samuel Seabury, Bishop of the apostolical church in the state of Connecticut.— Hitherto, Mr. Pitt, the British minister, has vehemently opposed all applications preferred for consecration to sees in America; this discouragement occasioned Bishop Seabury to secure his consecration from three of the Bishops in Scotland, which proves as perfectly valid and efficient, as though obtained from the hands of their Right Reverences of Canterbury, York and London; and is incontestibly proved by a list of the consecration and succession of Scots Bishops since the revolution in 1688, under William the Third.-The New York Packet, Monday, October 31. 1785.

As this was the first instance of an ordinance of the church which has ever taken place in this state, the solemnity of the occasion was almost beyond description-the excellent sermon de

livered by the Bishop-the prayers and tears of himself, his Presbyters, and the numerous assembly, for the suc cess of this gentleman in his ministry, will be long had in remembrance by every spectator. The New York Packet, Thursday, November 10. 1785.

New York, November 21. On Thursday evening was married, by the Rev.

New York, April 27. On Monday last departed this life, SAMUEL CURSON, Esq, an eminent merchant of this city. The death of this useful citizen was occasioned by a wound he received in a duel with a Mr. Burling, of Baltimore, on the evening of Friday the 21st instant. The loss of this gentleman is regretted both as a public and private misfortune, as he was a useful and respectable member of society, and was cut off from amongst men in a period of his existence, in which he was capable of being more extensively beneficial to his country, to his friends, and to himself. A number of the relatives of the deceased, and a respectable concourse of citizens, last evening attended his funeral to Trinity Church yard, where the body was interred, and where they paid the last debt due to the manes of a departed friend and fellow citizen, robbed of the breath of life in the morning of his days.-The New York Packet, Thursday, April 27, 1786.

New York, May 15. On Wednesday evening last, being the 10th. instant departed this life, in the 78th. year of her age Mrs. Cornelia Walton, relict of the late Hon. William Walton, Esq. and eldest daughter of Dr. William Beekman, deceased, after a tedious illness, which she supported with an unshaken fortitude and truly Christian resignation to her last moments. Indeed she laboured under a complication of disorders, but the dropsy being most prevalent, terminated her scene of

existence, which exhibited a perfect pattern of patience under all the calamities and trials incident to mortality.

In the death of this amiable Lady her numerous connections will experience the loss of an affectionate relative, her extensive acquaintance of a sincere friend and cheerful companion, and the poor may justly bewail the loss of a kind benefactress, for she had a heart to feel and a hand to relieve; nay, mankind have, in her, lost a useful, exemplary and ornamental member of society. Though childless herself, many there are who will, in her death, experience the loss of a Mother: And during her residence in the Jersies through the late contest, her benevolence, and acts of charity will endear her memory to all those who have tasted of her liberality; though she was too well known to need funeral elogium, still in justice to the character of the deceased, we must say that she has left an amiable example to her sex, worthy of imitation in all the domestic virtues.

Thus as she lived beloved, she died justly lamented; And on Friday evening following, her remains, attended by a 'concourse of the most respectable inhabitants, were interred in Trinity Church yard, in the family vault, where her husband lay, agreeable to her own request; where she now rests from all her labours, and her works will follow her.

Happy the soul that fears the Lord,
And follows his commands,

Who lends the poor without reward,
Or gives with lib'ral hands.

Whose works of charity and love,
Remain before the Lord;

Honor on earth and joys above,

Shall be the sure reward.
