ATKINSON, cooper, aged 73.

On the 13th inst., MARY, the second daughter, of MR. THOMAS LEWTHWAITE, of
the New Inn, in this town, aged 17 years.  She was a lovely girl, of amiable
qualities;  and health permitted, was likely to be of great promise to her
Parents.

She's gone___________________________
Like some fair flower, the early spring supplies,
That gayly blooms, but e'ven in blooming dies;
Ripe for heaven, her soul ascending flew,
And early bid this sinful world adieu.

of THOMAS GREGG, Esq.  Like the three of his brothers, who in a few short
years have been committed to the grave, in the full and fair promise of
youth, this young man bore a most painful and lingering disease, with
striking fortitude and resignation;  like them, too, his manners were modest
and unassuming, his disposition kind and affectionate;  and seldom has a
widowed father, to perform the melancholy task, of committing to the grave,
the bodies of four sons so amiable, and (as far as they were known) so
generally esteemed.  "Affection cometh not forth of the dust."

At Hawkshead, on Friday the 10th inst., CHARLOTTE, the wife of MR. LODGE,

ROBERT BAMISTER, A.B. for upwards of thirty years the respected minister of

Last week, highly and deservedly esteemed, at Handsworth, in the county of
York, in the 83d year of his age, the REV. WILFORD HUDDLESTON, M.A., for
twenty eight years Rector of the above place;  one of his Majesty's Justices
of the Peace for the West Riding of Yorkshire.  This Rev. Gentleman
graduated at Queen's College, Oxford, was a distinguished scholar, and his
discourses from the pulpit were couched in language clear, impressive,
chaste, and instructive - displaying the brilliancy of the author's
conceptions, the perspicuity and irresistible force of his arguments, and
the accuracy of his conclusions.  In early life MR. HUDDLESTON was the
intimate friend of LORD SURREY, aftewards DUKE OF NORFOLK, and to this
friendship was indebted to his Grace for the valuable rectory he so many
years enjoyed.  In social life his engaging manners and affability,
well-stored mind and great talents, endeared him to all who enjoyed the
pleasure of his acquaintance;  and as an acting and active Magistrate he
commanded, on all occasions, respect commensurate with that utility which
invariable accompanied the discharge of his magisterial functions.  MR.
HUDLESTON was a descendant of the ancient family of that name, who for some
centuries were proprietors of Millom Castle, and the Lordship of Millom, in
the county of Cumberland.

On the 19th of October last, at Lucnow, East Indies, LIEUT and ADJUTANT C.
V. WYLDE, of the 14th Native Infantry, aged 31.  So highly respected was he
by the whole corps, that the Seapoys requested to carry his body to the
grave.  This is considered a most extraordinary mark of respect, as it is
contrary to their caste to touch a European dead body.
