—We record some particulars of the interment of
Haggett Richards, Esq., of Stapleton House,
in the parish of Alartock, .I.l'. for the counties of
Devon and Somerset, on Wednesday last. The family
vault in the chancel of Kingsbury Episcopi church
in which parish he was born—received his mortal
remains on that day, and it is worthy of remark that
he attended Divine service there on the Sunday
before his death, and thus--where he last worshipped
—there his body awaits that solemn time, when all
that are in the graves shall hear the voice of Him
who is the Resurrection and the Life. The funeral
was conducted by Messrs. Stuckey arid Meade, if
laingport. The mournful procession, about 1 o'clock

Episcopi—the Rev. .1. K. Fowler, rector of East
Lambrook, W. Hopkins, &c. The deceit:m.4l gentle•
man was exemplary in every relation of life —as a
county magistrate, combining justice and firmness
with the greatest kindaiew and leniency ;—in his
domestic circle, deeply beloved and honoured ;—and
as a neighbour or friend, ever ready to advise and '
to aid all who were in need of guidance or help.
The rich regarded him with esteem ; the per
looked up to lion with respect and veneration ; and
all Ouse* with love and affection. His eldeat son,
Captain Bally Richards, who is now with his regi•
went at Waitara, New Zealand, was prevented
from paying the last tribute of respect. On Sunday
morning last the Rev. C. C. Southey, vicar, of
Kingsbury, delivered a most excellent and appro.
',nate sermon at Kingsbury church, to a crowded
congregation, all of whom appeared deeply affected
by the reverend gentleman.* allusions to the deep
loss they had sustained, and the suddenness of the
viaitation. At Aartock Church the Rev. E. A.
Saluion also preached a eerulhn in memory of the
deceased from the sth verse of the 12th chapter of
Ecclesiastes. The Ito,. W. H. Braund, of Ash,
also unproved the melancholy event by a very
solemn addrera from the 4th verse of the 21st
chapter of Revelation, " And there shall be no wore
death."
