Editor and Proprietor of the Morning Chronicle, at his house at Brighton, in the 65th year of his age, of an internal disease, which baffled all human skill, and gradually undermined a constitution promising a much greater length of days. Mr. Perry was born at Aberdeen on the 30th of Oct. 1756, and received the first rudiments of his education at the Chapel of Garioch, under the Rev. Dr. Tait. From this seminary Mr. P. was removed to the High School, Aberdeen, where he prosecuted his stu dies with much credit to himself, under ness for many years.

A. rector of that parish, and of Collingbourne Ducis, and one of the Prebendaries of Sarum. The following bequests evince that his benevolence extended beyond the period of his life. He enjoined 501. to be distributed among poor persons in each of the parishes of Minal and Collingbourne Ducis. To the poor of the parishes of West Tanfield and Wath, in Yorkshire, to which he was successively rector nearly forty years since, 1007. To repair Minal Church, (on ornament> ing which he expended in his life between 10001. and 20007.) he has left the interest of 1001. for ever: and the like to repair that of Collingbourne. To augment the small rectory of St. Peter's, Marlborough, the interest of 2001. ; and the small vicarage of St. Mary's in that town, 100l. To the Bath Infirmary, the Institution for the instruction of Deaf and Dumb, and St. Luke's Hospital for the reception of Lunatics, 1001. each.
