THE WIDOW of the late Rev. WM. CREASY
DREW, A. 8., Rector of Sandrington with Babingley, and
Curate of North Ruucton, Norfolk, has, by the awful visitation
of Providence, which suddenly bereaved her of her husband, been
lift without the means of decent support for their Family of ten
Children. She brought to her husband a fortune, which, with
the eddition of his Clerical Emoluments, was for a while compe-
tent' to all their wants and wishes. But a series of misfortunes
gradually impaired their resources. Mr. Drew's aged parents
fell into pecuniary difficulties, from which he relieved them by a
considerable sacrifice; and during their last years they were en-
tirely supported by 'his band. His wife's portion consisted partly
of property in shipping, all of which was ultimately lost ; and part
was so circumstanced as to involve him in the payment of debts
which did not really belong to him. Other branchee of the family
drew upon the facility of his disposition for supplies which he could
ill afford. He had become a party to a bond for a considerable sum,
as the marriage-portion of a sister, whieh, it was calculated, would
be her fair proportion of their father's property at his decease. The
father died insolvent ; and the bond was, after a partial remission,
Idischarged by the son. By an almost unprecedented devotion of
themselves to the entire education of their children, Mr. and Mrs.
Diew had avoided great expence : still, the above-mentioned cur-
tailments, and the exigencies -of an almost yearly increasing family,
preseed hard upon them. In the year 1824,, he resolved to meet the
pressure by receiving private pupils. Providence favoured his under-
taking beyond his hopes. He was appointed to hold a small living,
for a term of years, for the very first young man placed under hie
care. The prospects of the family pow brightened. . There was,
even a hope that continued exertion might restore them to the en-
joy-lira of an. independent competency. In the discharge of his
duty on Fla.gtef Sunday last, Mr. Drew eaught a severe cold—;n
alarMing fever-ensued--.4e survived the immediate attack ; but
hie constitution was fatally injured; and the sudden rupture of a
blood :vessel, on the 27th -of November, in a moment terminated
Ilia exiitence. No relative of either parent remains from whom
the family can derive the- smallest consolation or relief.
The following. Gentlemen—viz., Daniel Gurney, Esq., and
Charles Goodwin, Esq., of North Runcton ; the Very Rev. Dean
Wood, of Aliddleton ; the Rev." W. J. Brodrick, of Castle Rising ;
the Rev. R. Hankinson, of West Bilney Ledge ; the Rev. R. Han-
kinson, jun., of Walpole; Frederick Lane, Esq., of king's Lynn ;
and the Rev. E. Swatman, of\ Little Fransham—deeply impressed
with the distressed situation of the faMily, propose to raise a Furd
riot its Relief by Subscription, and to vest the management of it in
Tiustees, to he hereafter appointed out of their number. Sub-
, seriptione will be received by 'the above-mentioned Gentlemen ; by
