The Rt. Rev. WILLIAM HEATHCOTE DE LANCEY, D. D., LL.D., D. C. L., Bishop of the Diocese of Western New York, died at Geneva, April 5th, 1865, aged nearly sixty-seven and a half years. He was born at Mamaroneck, N. Y., Oct. 8th, 1797, a descendant of Chief Justice De Lancey; graduated at Yale College, with distinction, in 1817; was ordained Deacon in St. John's Chapel, N. Y., on the Feast of the Holy Innocents, A. D., 1819. His first ministerial labor was given to Grace Church, N. Y., of which he was in charge, during the vacancy of the Rectorship, which preceded that of the Rev. Dr. Wain wright. He then officiated for a short time in the newly organized Parish of St. Thomas', Mamaroneck, which had been formed out of the ancient Parish of Rye, in the immediate vicinity of the home of his ancestors. He having been advanced to the Priesthood on the 6th of March, A. D., 1822, in Trinity Church, N. Y., he removed to the City of Philadelphia, where he became an Assistant Minister of the united Churches of Christ Church, St. Peter's, and St. James', of which the venerable Bishop White was then the Rector. He remained in Phildelphia throughout his Presbyterate of seventeen years—succeeding to the Rectorship of St. Peter's, and filling, for a time, the office of Provost of the University of Pennsylvania-until his return to his native State as first Bishop of the new Diocese of Western New York; to which office he was consecrated on the Feast of the Ascension of our Blessed Lord, A. D., 1839.

The Funeral Services were held in Trinity Church, Geneva, April 11th. The sentences were read by the Rev Dr. Bissell; the portion

of the 39th Psalm was chanted by the choir; the portion of the 90th was read by the Rev. Dr. Metcalf; the Lesson by the Rev. Dr. Ingersoll; the 13th selection of Psalms in metre was announced by the Rev. Dr. Hull; the address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Van Ingen; the 6th, 7th and 8th verses of the 34th selection were then given out by the Rev. Dr. Van Rensselaer, and sung to the Old Hundredth; the opening part of the Burial Service was then read by the Rev. Dr. Jackson, the committal by the Rev. Dr. Bissell, the sentence, "I heard a voice," was sung by the choir, and the Lord's Prayer and concluding Collects said by the Rev. Dr. Bolles, of Boston. His remains rest in the family burial-place at Mamaroneck.

We hope hereafter to present a sketch of the life, labors and character of this accomplished, devoted, and successful Bishop. The history of his Episcopate, in such a field as Western New York, would afford a valuable study.
