ly to one announcing to thattruly venerable prelate the melancholy event of the death of BishopHob art. During my long life, Sir, I have not known any work of death,exterior to the circle of my own family, so afflictive to me as the present.I have known, and have had occasion to remark, the character of rnynow deceased friend, from his very early boyhood; and I can truly say,that I have never known any man on whose integrity and conscientious-ness of conduct I have had more full reliance than on his. In contem-plating what must be the brevity of my stay in this valley of tears, it hasbeen a gratification to me to expect that I should leave behind me abrother, whose past zeal and labours were a pledge that he would notcease to be efficient in extending our Church and in the preservation ofher integrity. But a higher disposal has forbidden the accomplishmentof my wishes; much, as I verily believe, to his gain, although greatly toour loss, and to that of the Church. THE END. 1 &r S#!
