Full Text  At Bombay, John Hector Cherry, second member of the council of this presidency. To those who knew the character of the late Mr. Cherry, vain would be the attempt to equal the impression of their minds; it includes every thing that is amiable in private life, and honourable in public. His friends, and those near and dear relations who are left to mourn his loss, will find their best consolation in the recollection of his virtues, His progress through life was marked by rectitude and integrity, and its conclusion distinguished by correspondent sentiments of confidence and resignation. Such characters, while they attract the esteem and regard of all around them, reflect dignity on human nature itself; and the greatest benefit that society can derive from their example, is to consider them as objects of imitation. In this view, what an illustrious instance did our subject afford of diligence, zeal, and ability, in every department of the service committed to his care, and these were of the highest confidence, importance, and dignity; unaffected by those disappointments personal to himself, which might have impeded the exertions of minds less directed to the attainment of honest fame than private fortune, his success proved the never failing consequences of motives so truly laudable and virtuous.
