regarded him with the profoundeft admiration. From that poifon of focial life; from that eternal curfe upon Ireland, religious intolerance; that fatal frenzy, which makes that miferable country be devoured, like the pelican, by her own offspring, never was mortal more free than was this virtuous Prelate. The rare fortune was his, to be Bishop of the Diocese in which he was born, and to contradict, in his own perfon, the popular maxim, "that no man can be a prophet in his own country;" for, throughout his district, there was not a man, whatever his mode of faith, who did not revere this admirable perfon, excepting the remorseless bigot, the difciple of the fire and the faggot, of the whip, the picket, and the torture, The friendship between Mr. Fox and the Bishop of Downe began with their ftudies at Eton; and lafted to the close of the prelate's life. There, too, commenced, and in like manner continued, the Bishop's indiffoluble connexion with moft of Mr. Fox's nearest friends, of whom one, and one who bears many resemblances to his departed friend, Lord Robert Spencer, is the Bishop's executor. He was a cotemporary at Eaton with Mr. Fox, Lord Robert Spencer, Mr. Hare, &c. and owed bis promotion to the prelacy to the former, being the only Bishop made under his Adminiftration. He married Mifs Symmes, a lady every way deferving, from her fweetuels of temper, and elegance of man ners, of the bleffing of fuch a mate. By her he had fix children. Two of his fons are Field Officers in the army, and the two eldest daughters (not long introduced to the polite world) are diftinguished by the fuperiority of their mental and perfonal accomplishments. In his 63d year, Mr. Mathews, many years a very refpectable bookfeller and vender of medicines in the Strand, and father of Mr. Mathews, of Drury-lane theatre. He was also a lay-preacher in a chapel of his own at Whetstone. At his houfe in Wells-ftreet, in his 85th year, John Woodyer, efq. formerly an eminent book feller at Cambridge. As a man of extenfive knowledge, placid difpofition, and great probity, his memory will ever be refpected by all who knew him. 20. At Gelligron, co. Glamorgan, the Rev.

LETTER XI. ON PRISONS. MR. URBAN, T Sambrook Court, Sept. 19. HE following correfpondence, which defcribes the ftate of the Prifons and places of confinement in the county of Cambridge, prefents more to approve than to cenfure; and, although it affords matter worthy of remark, any reflections thereon fhall be poftponed, in order to fulfil the engagement propofed in p. 608 of your Mifcellany, of noticing the letters under the fignatures of W. p. 496, and S. A. P. 518, with which I fhall include thofe of Eufebia, p. 709, and Confervator, p. 710, as illuftrative of each other. From the two first letters, figned by initials, we are affured, that in fome of the workhoufes in the metropolis, divine fervice has been regularly performed, and, confe country, have been thrown into thefe great towns;" and hence it may be inferred, that the attention to morals in many of them is inadequate and ineffectual to the due correction of vicious habits, and that the requifite care to this important object cannot be too earneftly impreffed upon the public mind. It never was my defign, however, to point out the Clergy as the objects of cenfure, but rather the miftaken oeconomy of the directors of Prifons, Bridewells, and Workhoufes, in neglecting the advantages to be derived from employing their useful fervices; and I fhall hence avoid any animadverfion on the charges introduced by Eufebia. As an individual, I am under numerous obligations to the Clergy for the pleafure and inftruction I have derived from their fociety and friendfhip; whom I have long confidered as a diftinguished ornament of the community; and without which hap 'quently, that general cenfure of whofe exertions virtue without neglect in this neceffary duty is not uniformly applicable. Well-authenticated facts of paftoral attention over the rifin rifing generation muft convey pleasure to every feeling mind; and that pleasure would be augmented were the fruits of virtuous conduct found to correfpond with this pious care; but, in Confervator's apology for the vicious ftate of the manufacturing children placed out from the metropolis, the lamentable inftances of depravity are in fome meafure deduced from, and afcribed to, the introduction of the children from the workhoufes in London, as he ftates, that "the gleanings of workhoufes from the capital, from many parts of the . pily animates this country to a degree hitherto unknown, would be come lukewarm; and beneficence, with all thofe moral affections which dignify human nature, might degenerate into torpor, and fympathy be congealed into apathy. In noticing Coufervator's letter, I wish to avoid controverfy; his fentiments, however, do not appear to me calculated to preserve infantile morality, upon which the future happinefs of the community fo materially depends. "If," fays he, "the vifit of the benevolent Mr. Neild was only to wreft from his mill articles of crimination for an expofure before the publick, Mr. Bott has acted very wifely by the interdiction |
