3. At his residence, Grove Cottage, Blackheath, the Rev. George Mathew, M.A., vicar of Greenwich. Mr. Mathew was born at Bury St. Edmunds, in Suffolk, on the 5th of Nov. 1768. He was educated at the Grammar School in that town, and afterwards entered at Trinity College, Cambridge. He took the degree of B.A., in the year 1790; and, being distinguished by his classical acquirements, was shortly after elected a fellow of that college. On entering into holy orders, he officiated as curate in his native place. He was

appointed chaplain to the late Earl of Bristol;
and presented by his lordship to the vicarage of
On this
Sleaford, in the county of Lincoln.
living he resided until, in the year 1799, the ill-
health of his lady compelled him to seek a more
salubrious air and obtain superior medical assist-
ance. He came to the vicinity of London, and
having obtained the situation of alternate morn-
ing preacher at St. James's Church, Piccadilly,
and a similar appointment at Greenwich, he soon
became a highly-popular preacher, and was elect-
ed alternate evening preacher at the Magdalen and
Foundling Hospitals. In the year 1807, on the
arrival of the Duchess of Brunswick in England,
he had the honour of being appointed domestic
chaplain to her royal highness; not, as he him-
self has observed, "her royal highness's nominal
chaplain," but her officiating chaplain, and "ho-
noured, in numberless interviews and audiences,
with considerable marks of her confidence." He
continued to officiate regularly, in conjunction
with the Rev. Dr. Wait, in the family of that ex-
cellent, though unfortunate princess, until her
death. On the Duchess's recommendation, he
was presented, in 1812, to the vicarage of Green-
wich by Mr. Percival, then prime-minister. Here
he resided, anxiously discharging the important
duties of his station, and enjoying the continued
esteem and admiration of his parishioners until
his death. The respect and regard of the res-
pectable and populous parish of Greenwich to-
wards their lamented vicar were strikingly mani-
fested on the day of his funeral; all the shops and
private houses were closed on the occasion. The so-
lemn ceremony was, in accordance with his own de-
sire, performed with as little parade as possible. The
burial service was read by the Rev. Dr. Wait, who
had been his co-adjutor in the pulpit of St. Al-
phege from the first period of his incumbency.
His remains were deposited in the vicar's vault in
the new church of St. Mary; and never was a pa-
rochial minister laid in his tomb with stronger tes-
timonies of respect and regret. He was religious
without ostentation, and in the discharge of his
duty regardless of human applause. As a preacher
he stood in the highest rank; and if he was not
the most popular of his day, it would be very diffi-
cult to name one who could be placed in competi-
tion with him. Gifted with an eloquence bestowed
upon few, he appeared, in the sincerity and sim-
plicity of his character, scarcely conscious of his
superior powers. His published discourses ex-
hibit a fair specimen of his general style of preach-
ing, and are characterized by soundness of doc-
trine, elegance of composition, and a pathetic elo-
Mr. Mathew was
quence peculiar to himself.

twice married and has left an amiable and affec-
tionate widow to lament his loss.-(From a Corres-
pondent.)

REMARK S.

Calcutta, Feb. 7, 1833.-For the last week or two there has been a generally allowed improvement in White Piece Goods, particularly in the demand and price for Book Muslins; and there appears, with reference to recent imports, to be a very fair prospect of a revived trade in Piece Goods generally. Woollens have not engaged any attention during the week. In Wines, Beer, and Miscellananeous Goods, there has not been anything going

on.

Madras, Feb. 20, 1833.-The market for Europe Goods continues still without improvement. Metals are sold with difficulty at our quotations, and chiefly in small parcels.

Bombay, Feb. 9, 1833.-During the past week there have been sold in Piece Goods as follows:1,000 pieces Madapollams at Rs. 3-3 per piece; 1,600 pieces ditto at Rs. 4-1 per piece; 2,000 pieces Lappets, at Rs. 2-1 per piece; 1,050 pieces Book Muslins, 6-4ths, low quality, at Rs. 2-1 per piece;

21

175 pieces Cambrics, 8-4ths, 24 yards, at Rs. 8-2 per piece; 300 pieces, 43-inches, Grey Calicoes, 37 yards, at Rs. 7 per piece; 100 dozens Bandana Handkerchiefs, at Rs. 3. per doz.; 3,900 lbs. Twist, No. 80, at Rs. 1-0-50 per lb.; 150 pieces Muslin Prints, at Rs. 15-2 per piece: 2,400 yards Cotton Velvets (coloured), at Rs. 0-3-25.

Canton, Feb. 18, 1833.-The customary stagnation at this particular period (the termination of the Chinese year) has pervaded our commerce in general during the past fortnight. Some slight improvement in price has attended Straits' and Banca Tin, but the demand is trifling. Woollens, of the first quality, obtain the extent of our quotations.

Singapore, Feb. 14, 1833.-The market continues dull for British manufactures, and is likely to remain so until after the expiration of the approaching Chinese holidays at their new year, which commences on the 21st inst.
