tributes to the memory of Mr. Pickering, now registered in Heaven, where we may humbly presume he rests in the bosom of his Father and his God. With meek and unaffected piety, he walked in the service of his Maker; destined in early life to have enjoyed all those earthly advantages which fortune bestows, great was the reverse; - it would have been so to an earthly mind; - but in his, the only deprivation was, that it lessened the power of doing good: yet, with a very limited income, large in proportion were his charities; with a beart and hand ever open to the tale of suffering, which sought for it, in the haunts of poverty and obscurity; his selfdenial was rigid in the extreme. Misfortune early marked him for her own; many and severe were his trials through life, yet the breath of murmur never escaped his lips; he knelt with meek submission, and kissed the chastening band that dealt the blow. He was the father, the friend, the protector of his flock; clothed with humility he prayed in the House of God; yet elevated with all the dignity of pure and heartfelt devotion, every ear listened to his precepts, every heart acknowledged his practice, and wished to follow his example. The individual who offers this humble tribute of grateful recollection to the shade of a departed friend, laments that she cannot do him justice; but few and sad were the days in which she knew him; yet that too short season of his almost parental friendship, empowers her to state this blessed truth, "He visited the fatherless and widow in affliction, and kept himself unspotted from the world." DR. JAMES SIMS. At Bath, in the 80th year of his age, Dr. James Sims, M.D. and LL.D. This eminent Physician was for 19 years President of the Medical Society of London; he was also Vice-President of the Philanthropic Society, F.S.A. and R. Ir. Ac. Hon. Fellow of New York and Massachusetts Medical Societies, &c. Dr. Sims was the first Chairman and VicePresident of the Philanthropic Society, successfully contributed to its forma. tion, and, with the late Duke of Leeds, continued to support it under all its early difficulties; indeed, it may be said to be owing to his unremitting exertions that this important Institution is at present in existence. The Westminster General Infirmary and several other Charitable and Scientific Institutions, were much benefited by his exertions. Dr. Sims, a few years since, retired from practice; since which time he has resided at Bath. An excellent Portrait of Dr. Sims was painted by S. Medley, and engraved by N. Branwhite, It was inserted in his friend Dr. Lettsom's "Hints to promote Beneficence," &c. S. P. WOLFERSTAN, ESQ. June 3. At Statfold, co. Stafford, Samuel Pipe-Wolferstan, Esq. aged 69. To the estimable character of an old English country gentleman, Mr. PipeWolferstan superadded the acquirements of an accomplished Scholar; but his memory is most of all endeared to his family and friends by their recollection of his domestic virtues, united to those undeviating principles of religious integrity which he exhibited through life, and which gave serenity and confidence to his hopes as a Christian upon the bed of death. In this excellent Scholar we have lost a valuable Correspondent; and a further account of him shall be hereafter given. J.T. H. DES Carrieres. June 13. At Croydon, aged 78, John Thomas Herrissaut Des Carrieres, a native of Paris. This gentleman has done honour to his own country by the services be has rendered to this. For almost half a century he has been an indefatigable teacher of the French language, and the author and reviser of many useful books for that purpose. About the time of the Revolution, he published a History of France, in two volumes; and lately, an abridged History, in one volume, up to the year 1815. Many noble personages in this country have received the benefit of this gentleman's instruction. He was a man of strict integrity, of a most ingenious mechanical turn of mind; but for the last twenty years had applied himself much to the science of gardening, by which his health, which had been impaired by study and close application, became firm and established, but in which he spent all the earnings of his former days. MRS. CURWEN. April 21. At Workington Hall, in her 55th year, Mrs. Curwen, wife of John Christian Curwen, Esq. M. P. for Cumberland. The sole heiress of a wealthy and very antient family, she was, perhaps, in early youth, but too much caressed by fortune and friends. Yet it is but justice to her to say, that she bore the trials which came upon her in afterlife, to the full share of humanity, with fortitude and equanimity. The seeds of Religion, which had been sown in her youthful mind by a mother, of whom she she was early deprived, sprung up, and bore good fruit, under the culture of affliction. She was endued by nature with quickness and brightness of intellect, as appeared from her conversation and epistolary correspondence; and to the latest period of her life she retained both the desire and the ability of improving her mind. But what was of far more consequence to herself, and to all who came within her sphere, she was blessed with great benevolence of disposition, which prompted her to a continual exercise of kindness and charity. Although for several years she had been in a great measure deprived of the use of her limbs, yet her last illness made it apparent that the principle of .life was still strong in her: and although the many and severe sufferings which were required to release the spirit from its house of clay, were afflicting to her friends; yet it is to be hoped that the memory of the patience and perfect resignation to the will of her Heavenly Father, with which she endured them, will afford them the truest consolation. Her husband and children have to deplore the loss of a dutiful and affectionate wife and mother, and the poor of Workington of a most kind benefactoress.

So highly was this amiable man respected by the German Princes, that when the Diet of Ratisbon, at the instigation, or rather command of Boonaparte, had resolved to secularize the Church lands of the Empire, they made an express exception in favour of Abbot Arbuthnot, permitting him to enjoy the revenues of the establishment during his life.
