NEW-YORK, August 30. | On Friday last departed this Life in the 23d Year of her Age, Miss SUSANNAH FINLEY, Daughter of the Revd. Dr. FINLEY, late Presi- dent of New-Jersey College: And on Saturday Evening her Remains were deposited in the Old Presbyterian Church in this City, where a pathetic Address, particu- larly to young Persons, was made by the Rev. Dr. RODGERS. Though pompous Characters of the Dead have of late been so frequent as to excite a just Suspicion of their Propriety and Truth, yet ought not those whose Merit really intitles them to public Notice, to be deprived of this last Tribute which the Affection of Friends can pay them. On the present Occasion, it is but just to say, that in every Character she sustained in Life, this young Lady acted with such Propriety and Decorum as justly intitled her to be proposed as a Pattern to the younger Part of her Sex, and at the same Time so sedulously em- ployed herself in Preparation for a future State as to enable her to discover the most perfect Resignation dur- ing a long and tedious Illness to wish for the Hour of Dissolution, and meet even the King of Terrors with Fortitude and Composure.
