DIED.

On the Bth instant, after a short illness, JAMES FLOYD,
Esq., only son of the late Richard Floyd, Esq., of Kilmorane
Cottage, *County Clare, Ireland.
Same day, at Macmurrough, Ireland, the Rev. ROBERT
CARPENTER, rector of Rew Ross. The love borne to this
respected clergyman by all classes of society, were testified by
the surroanffing neighbourhood, in a -manner calculated to
soothe the deep sorrow of his afflicted family. On the day of
his interment, and on the four preceding days, the shops of the
town were closed in testimony of respect to his memory.
About twenty clergymen of the Church of England. (by eight
of whom the coffin was borne,) all the Roman Catholic clergy-
men of Ross and Rosbercon, the dissenting ministers, and the
gentry, along with a vast body of the inhabitants of the town
and country around, followed his remains to the grave. As a
parish minister he was zealous and laborious, as a preacher
eloquent and, faithful, and in his daily intercourse with all,
especially with the distressed, lie was affectiorbate, sympathis-
ing, and patient. He was selected four years ago by the pre-
sent Bishop of Ossory to fill the important post of rector of
Ross, and was subsequently appointed one of his lordship's
examiners for holy orders. His constitution sank prematurely
under the weight of his arduous though much-loved duties,
and his end was peace. through the merits of Jesus. He has
left a widow and eightchildren to mourn his irreparable loss.

Mr. Carpenter, of this town.

reer prominently commenced in 1829, when Mr., now Lord
Jeffrey, being appointed dean of the faculty of advocates, reti-
red from the editorship of the Edinburgh Review, which was
then assumed by Mr. Napier. Afterwards lie undertook the
superintendence of the seventh and last edition of the Enryclo

on Scotch law. For some time past Mr. Napier's health was in
