LATELY After a patient endurance of much worldly suffering from bodily pain, aged 60, Mr. Richard Teed, of Lancaster-court in the Strand, most sincerely regretted by a numerous and respectable connexion.

But upon the more important ground of social and domestic virtue were founded his claims to esteem and respect: upright and truly conscientious, zealous and unwearying in kindness and benevolence, warm and generous in his affections, actuated by the purest principles of probity and honour, and above all a strict observer of every Christian duty; his exertions in the cause of virtue, friendship, or distress, were prompt and persevering. As a husband and father, he was kind and indulgent; as a friend, sincere and unchangeable.
