Mltil. MAROBI'.

As the Instructress of an eider generation, Mrs.
Merest nay have long dropped oat or the view of
the busiest part of society as it now exists ; bat it is
not fitting that she should go to her grave without
some grateful notice.
It seems wonderful that our instructress, who
seemed always so up to the time and so like our-
selves, should actually have been born in the year
when Oanganelli was made Pope, and when Hyder
Ales was ravaging the Carman°, and Paoli flying
from Corsica, and Wilkes's Middlesex election was
convulsing parliament and people at home; but so
it was. She was born in 1789 ; and she was thus •
witness to the whole course of existence of the
American republic. She might very well mamba.
the Declaration of Independence and the birth of
political economy, in the forma Adam Smith's work,
at the Name date, she beinie seven years old at the time;
and greatly astonished might she and her friends have
been if they could have foreknown that before her
death her wicks would be text-books in many hun-
dreds of schools, and her pupils be tens of thousands
of young republicans, learning from her the princi-
ples of political economy in a state peopled by nearly
thirty 'millions of inhabitants. Her alert and eager
mind was always picking up knowledge, and enter-
taining itself with the interests of scientific society,
long years before she thought of imparting her
amusements to the public. Ancient as her earliest
works now appear to the oldest of ua, they were not
produced early in life. She was, we believe, between
forty and fifty when she began to write for the
public. Dr. Marcet'e high repute sea physician
and a chemist placed her in the midst of scientific
and literary society ; while a constitutional restless-
noes which always troubled her existence, and be-
came at last an insuperable malady, indicated the
employment from which ate derived the greatest
solace and relief the case admitted of. It was under
her husband's counsel and guidance that she applied
herself to authorship; and he witnessed her first
successes before his death in 1822.

For some years she had been lost sight of, her
nervous malady having grievously prostrated her, it
was understood, in her extreme old age. We must
hope that she was more or lees aware of the prodi-
gious start forward that society had made since
she first became its instructress. In what a
host of discoveries have her chemical doc-
trines long been merged ? What a new
face has Natural Philosophy warned ! And how
antique seem already some of the abuses shown up
in her Political Economy ! The irreversible esta-
blishment of Free Trade in England was a blessing
which she deserved to witness, for she had unques-
tionably some share in bringing it on. She hailed
our dehveranoe from the " gangrene " of the old
Poor-law ; and she lived to see the decline, and
almost the extinction, of strikes in the cotton and
woollen districts. She witnessed the timely relief
afforded by the gold discoveries. She enjoyed the
full and free introduction of the subject of popular
education into Parliament and general discussion,
after having witnessed in her middle age the abortive
efforts of Mr. Whitbread and other friends of educa-
tion early in the century. If she was aware of the
latest demonstration—the Middle-Class Examina-
tions of last month—she must have cordially re
joined at such a sign of the times. She saw Ireland
raised firom the dead, as it were : and if she saw her
beloved France—or Paris rather—consigned to
political death, her cheerful confidence would assure
her that there would be a resurrection there too.
Most of her life was spent in London : but a good
deal of it also at or near Oeneva—the birthplace of
her hatband and herself, and the residence of several
of hew relatives. The travelled English well knew
the hospitable residence of her brother, Mr. Ilaldi-
mend, on Lake Leman. One of her own children
also lived there : but her usual abode was with her
eon-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Romilly, at whose house she died on the 28th ult.
Though we may not regret her death, under her bur-
den of years and infirmity, we may well be thankful
for her life and services.

say that I think it would ow, a strange feeling in mat
people lo part at the chapel-doer with the comes of ens
who had been very due and, after a few minutes of kern&
suspense, during which they should know that it was hors-
ing in a Gera tarmacs, to see the vu el of whits ashes
brought beck, sad be told that titers was all that was mortal
of tits departod hied. No doubt it may be weakness sad
prejodice, bat I think that few could divest lUnunitras of
the foaling of sacrilegious violence Better 6r to by the
brother or slater, tenderly so though still they felt, is the
last resting-place, so soft and trim. It soothes us, if it
doss no good to them, and the sad chugs which ws know
is soon to follow is wrought only by the gentle hand of
Natant. And only think of a man pointing to half-o-dosen
vases on his mantelpiece. and u many more on his cheffonier
