Mr. Hudson was almoner of St. Paul's, and master of the choristers from 1773 till 1793; and composed a very pleasing service, which is still performed in that Cathedral, He was also musick-master of Christ's Hospital, and composed many hymns for that institution.

this melancholy event, her parents have to deplore the loss of an affectionate and - dutiful child; her brothers and sisters (all very young), not only a kind relation, but the blessing of good example displayed in early youth; her friends, a sincere, affectionate, and sensible companion. had an excellent understanding, which was progressively improving by the perusal of instructive books; and her re. marks on what she read were judicious and unaffected. To these more substan tial acquirements of mind and heart, she added the accomplishments which adorn her sex and situation. In musick she made an early and rapid proficiency, and her performance was interesting from its correctness and feeling. This simple statement of her many virtues is due from those who knew how to appreciate such worth, and to deplore (though with a selfish feeling) its untimely removal. E M.
