Deaths

On the morning of the 3d inst. Thomas O'Neill, son of the Rev. Dr. Cooke. As a candidate for the Ministry in the Presbyterian Church, he had passed one year in Trinity College, Dublin, as a pupil of the late lamented Rev. S. J. M'Clean. During a protracted illness of more than four years, he never uttered a single complaint; and, in reply to a question put to him by his father, his last words were -- "I know that my Redeemer liveth." On this dying expression of faith, the Rev. J. Morgan most appropriately commented at his funeral service; after which the Rev. Dr. Hanna offered up an appropriate and most impressive prayer. His remains were conveyed to the grave by a number of the students of the Synod of Ulster, who had requested permission to perform this last office of kindness and friendship.

In May last, at Cranfield, near Kilkeel, co. Down, Mr. William Cluness, of the Coast Guard service. His active and upright conduct had procured him promotion, whilst his exemplary piety ensured the affection of all who had the pleasure of knowing him. During his illness he gave continued testimony to the experience and the prospects that result from saving faith, till at length he was privileged "to depart and to be with Christ."

On the 3d inst. at Ben Neagh, Crumlin, Patrick Boyle, infant son of James Gairdner, Esq. of Glasgow.

On the 3d inst. Mrs. Kelso, wife of Mr. John Kelso, merchant, Fivemiletown, much regretted by all who knew her.
