John Usher, late Rector of this Church, who departed this life 5 July 1804 in hope and full assurance of a resurrection to a better, aged 84 years; a kind and tender parent, an ardent, active and faithful friend, a just and generous man, and sincere Christian, etc. Mr. Alden adds, that he was a descendant, according to family tradition, from the learned James Usher, Archbishop of Armagh. If this be true, Hezekiah (1) must have been son or grandson of the Archbishop; but James is not a family name along his descendants so far as I have seen. V.

d not be permitted to speak freely, but that it was determined to run him down like a wolf, without law, or game; and he soon found that this was not said without sufficient reason. Six or seven bishops were present, including the Archbishops of Armagh and Dublin, who took their seats upon the bench. If, says Mr. E., they had used arguments with me, or had informed the court how unfit a jury of tradesmen were to judge of abstruse points of divinity, or had protested, as holy bishops of old diden referred,) that such exorbitant fines were against the law. Thus at length, but with difficulty, this heavy, and (as it appears) illegal fine was reduced to seventy pounds, which was paid into her Majesty's exchequer. But the Archbishop of Armagh, who (as Queen's Almoner!) had a claim, it seems, of a shilling in the pound on all fines, was not to be thus satisfied, but insisted for some time on the full amount of his per-centage on the whole fine. At last, after several applications and

In the list of subscribers to Dr. Benson's posthumous History of the Life of Christ, we also observe the Bishops of Lichfield and Worcester; Shute Barrington, afterwards Bishop of Durham; Newcome, then Fellow of Hertford College, Oxford, afterwards Archbishop of Armagh; figuring along with Lardner, Fleming, Kippis, Price, and many other Reverends by courtesy of that day, but as good bishops as themselves notwithstanding. When, however, we contrast these things with the strange outcry which has recently been excited, when two bishops subscribed to a volume of sermons published by a Unitarian minister, we are constrained to acknowledge our apprehension that, in some respects, the former times were better than these. In the year 1754, Dr. Benson published

le illumination and improve the time. For some time this village has been quite lively, owing to the number of men, horses, and vehicles of every description and variety, which have through its streets. Early in the morning, when the crowd is greatest; when the heavy wagons keep up a continuous rattle; when soldiers are shooting, mules braying, dragoons riding by with clanking sabres, drums beating, and there is a constant Babel of strange noises, one could easily fancy a market day in Armagh, or that, by some hocus pocus, he had been suddenly dropped into the midst of Donny brook fair. From morning until night the main street is filled with busy men, who gather around the stores — where there is nothing to buy — or around the Post- Office, where a sentinel stands to prevent confusion and a crowd, or walk the streets in search of the Richmond papers, now in great demand, and hard to get at a dime each. From the balcony of Hubbal's hotel a strange scene of busy life is visible,
