An overrnling Prov idence, however, did not permit them to be realized. During his voyage Mir. King was attacked with disease often the con- sequence of a voyage, and which so im- paired his health, as to prevent him from an active discharge of the duties of his off, flee. After remaining abroad year, in hope of re-establiShing his health without any improvement, he determined to return to die in his native land, in the bosom of his family and his friends.

 It is when men like him are taken from among us we have cause for grief We remember the days of bis former useful ness, and bend in reverence before the christening stroke. We rejoice that he should so long have been spared-and that the blow descended not in the hour of his prime and his usefulness. In manner, MT. King was mild, and dgnifed-m temper firm and decided. As speaker, he was modle for parliamentary debate. His compatriots in the Senate, will long re- member the respect which he manifested for their opinions, whilst he firmly main tained his ewn. As statesman, prudent, penetrating and comprehensive in his views; his country vii long have cause for gratitude, that his talents were devoted to the promotion of public good. He was his country's true friend and while he did not hesitate to condemn the policy which placed us in collision with Great Britain, he did not permit his feelings to opperate, when his fortune and influence were required, to promote the successful termination of the war. His private char acter was without blemish. As a husband, affectionate and sincere-as a farther an object of veneration to his children, he has descended with lamentation to the tomb. As patriot his country monrus his loss.
