SKETCH OF BISHOP RAvENsCRoFT

The death of this distinguished Minister OF the
Gospel has been heard with much regret, not on
" in North Carolina and Virginia, but by the
friends of his Church in the Northern States
Several paragraphs have appeared in the Pmla-
delphia prints; and, in one of them' he has been
compared to Moses himself, in the reading OF the
Decalogue.
Being a native of Virginia, and having taken
Holy Orders under the ministration Of Bishop
MooRE, his life md death have excited great i-
terest among his fellow-citizens of this State; and
it was under the influence of those feelings, that
Bishop MooRE, on Sunday last, delivered an i'm
pressive Funeral Discourse, from the Pulpit OF
the Monumental Church, commemorative of the
merits of the deceased. The Sermon was intend
ed to illustrate the Immortality of the Soul, as
taught by Holy Writ; and it concluded with the
following Sketch Of Bishop RAvESscRoFr, with a
copy of which we have been favored by the Re-
verend Author.-Richmond Enquirer.

Extract from Bishop Moore's Discourse.

ETIracIJ rom DtSHVp 4nOoTe DtSCooTSe.
Il have been led to the selection of the present
subject BY that solemn event which | announced
from this desk the last Tuesday-the death of
our venerable friend, Bishop Ravenscroft. The
departure ofan individual so highly gifted, is no
common occurrence. Ordained to the Ministry
and this Altar by myself, and a native of Virgo
MA, | should be deficient in duty to you, to his
memory, and to the Church at large, were | to
pass over the event in silence. Often, Brethren,
has he addressed you from this place; and from
the tomb, he now proclaims in your ears, the
transitory nature of temporal things: assuring you
fower-that all flesh is grassland the glory of
Man. however firm in constitution, respondent
in talents, and graceful in structure, is as the
flowers of the field. Yes, my hearers, were he
permitted to speak to you at this moment, he
would direct your attention to that Saviour, who
is .sthe resurrection and the life" He would
show you the folly of trusting the salvation of
your souls to any thing short of Christ Jesus; and
would proclaim the Redeemer as the only way to
the regions of eternal peace.
He would tell you that the language of en-
treaty in which he addressed you during life,
however warm and animated that language had
been, was too cold for the occasion: that the most
feryent appeals he had ever used, though they
burned on his lips, were too frigid-unworthy a
subject involving in it eternal considerations
He would shew Heaven, on the one hand, with
all Its beatitudes. and regions of Despair on the
other; and, with a seraph's tongue, would entreat
you to flee from the wrath to come. and to lay
hold on eternal life. Were he to see you halt
ing between your duty to God and the concerns
of the world, he would press an immediate re-
nunciation of the things of time. He would soil
cit you to awake from your slumbers; to take up
the Cross without the least delay. He would tell
you that tomorrow might be too late; that snow
is the accepted tme-this the day of salvation"
1t is productive of great satisfaction, upon
an occasion like the present, to look back and to
take a view of the individual, whose death and
removal forms the subject of our consideration.
1t is a Minister of the Lord Jesus Christ, whose
departure has awakened the best sympathies of
our nature. and which has involved the Church

legislation may be expected when the As
sembly mec, again. An alteration OF the
license law and Of the inso'vent Jaws will
no doubt be reported as expedcnt by the
committee TO whom these subjects were
referred. The evil effects Of the insolvent
laws "a they now are administered, are
sensibly felt by the industrious aud honest
members OF the cemmunirv. They have
rather protected and encouraged fraud,
than relieved the poor and honest debtor.
Some alteration in them FOR the better is
