This gentleman, lately deceased, received his
gnmenatical education under Dr. Stephen Addiui-
ton, at Markeellarborough, from whit.b place,
father being a Celviniet, he was removed, in 17(11,
to the academical institution at Hoxton ; hut he at
length pursued the nanaiuder of his studies under
the direction of Dre•Savaee and Kippis. Here hr
first became acquainted with the principles of Uni-
torienisin and rational religion, winch eminnlaili-
toted uo common lustre ate-tlies remainder of his
life and character. The disiddasure of his father
no (lila occasion was very great, and produced for
some time a cessation of personal intercourse. The
dutiful couduct however of the bOll, aud particu-
larly hie exertions to aieist him, when lie, in the
Letter part of his life, fell into ditlicultie., very
elach softened the father, and even led bits to be-
lieve that so much goodness in his son, notwith-
standing his want of au orthodox belief, might re-
commeud him to the favour null nrceptanee of his
final Judge. In 1767, Mr. Wood, jun. suereeded
Mr. lialsai in the charge of a smell congregation at
Steinford, from whence he removed to ipso-it:li, as
nssistant to the Rev. Thomas Scott, the learthel

was invited to the congregation at Mill Hill, near
Leeds, whose highly-resp.:cted Pastor he continued
till his death. In the yeate 17139 and 179 o• he
greatly disl4iguislied himself as Secretary to the
Laded Amociation of Protestant I)issenters of the
three Dtevoruilintioni in the 11'est Riding of York-
shire, flw co-operating in the• application for the
repeal of the Test Act. Several excellent papers
were on this occasiou the production of his pen.
particularly an animated Expostulation, addressed
to Mr. Wiiberforee. upon his sentiments mid con-
duct on Unit ocesaiou.
About !bur years ago, he printed a number of
forum of prayer for public worship, which hale
since been used in the inoniing service at Mill Hill.
Of these. there is very capectful mention made.
and a very, high character of their Author, dry the
Aim. Mr. tiTyvill, is die fah volume of hid Hohties!

NEW CITY MAGISTRATES.

Yesterday, Alderman Dailey gave en elegant
breakfast at the Alayoralty-lionse, to a number of
the Aldermen, Sheriffs, Sheriffs Peers, uud the
principal Citizen*, preparatory to his being sworn
into °dire fir the ensuing year.
At three the City Regalia went in state
•to the Castle, preceded by a baud of music, and
a...cOmpanied hy the Lurd .ilay or and Sheriffs elect,
Coiunion Conned, &c. kr. been admitted
to the Presence Chamber, the I:eeorder pur-
trayeil the ditties attached to the high office to
which Aldtrinan Darley was called by his fellow-

a rerieW of the state of the metropolis-411e
vigilance of the late worthy Chief Niagistrate,
at well as the wise and conciliating demeanour
of our excellent Lord Lieuteuaut, and the le-
nient and vigorous system of the present Admi-
nistration had happily banished all emiplaiuts ;
if, indeed, there did still linger one solitary spark
of disti&etitin in the country, the nolde and
rnl-
animating attitude of the Spanish Patriots—their
spirit, their sentiments, store inifficient to unnilii kite
buck 'pernicious feelings. look to that great and
worthy people—to the victories they obtaiti.id over
the finest veterans of Fraisce•••-to the humiliation
to which thee re.luced that sconrgt of the human
race, that plod of his min idolatry, who hail put his
fe,ot upon the neck of Kings, and who hail cover.Nl
the fairest portion of Europe with ruiva. Let the
disaffected (if any there be) look to Portognl, the
scene of British gluey—the theatre in which their
countrymen hail achieved a.> glorious a victory,
proving, that when Briton, and lriditn.ni fought
for liberty, they were invincible.
The Lord Amor haring taken the usual oaths,
Mr. Justice i)atir delivered the charge. He
dwelt particularly upon the system of forestalling
and re;rating which was practised in the starkers,
mud inveighed with becoming warmth against the
system of combination which extended to every
trade. The vigilance of the Majstratex would do
a groat deaf, and lie hoped the public prints would
do their duty iii pointing out the abettors of a %%s-
-tem so detrimental to the trod* and 'prosperity of
the emintry, and he pledged himself that justice
should he done them.
