Some have thought that the Roses of Kilravock are of Pictish origin. To others, it appears probable that this family descended from an English knight whom one of the McDonalds, Lords of the Isles, met in wars then carried on in Ireland, and who afterwards settled in Scotland. In confirmation of this opinion, it is observed that the arms seem to have been originally the same as those of the Barons de Ros, to whom, in the reigns of Edward I. and II. belonged Helmsley, in the North Riding of the county of York, and who built there a strong castle for their baronial residence).

Motto, Spero infestis metuo secundis. The family of De Loges appears to have been of importance in the counties of Surrey, Warwick, and Cumberland, for some centuries after the Conquest. The branch from which Mr. Lodge Ellerton descends, was long settled in Ireland. One of its members, the Rev. Francis Lodge, became Archdeacon of Killaloe, and of him it is recorded by Sir William Temple, that in the year 1643, six years after his death, his bones were dug up, with those of other Protes- tants, by the rebels, and laid upon the highway. Another descendant of the Irish branch, JOHN LODGE, Esq., married P-lizabeth, only daughter of the Rev. James Metcalf, and niece and eventual representative of Thomas Metcalf, Esq. of Nappa,who died in 1756. By this lady, who 38 I1KRALDIC REGISTER. derived from the marriage of Sir Christo- pher Metcalf, of Nappa, temp. HEX. VIII. with the Lady Elizabeth Clifford, dau. of the Earl of Cumberland, Mr. Lodge was fa- ther of JOHN LODGE, Esq. who m Elizabeth, dau. of Matthew Ellerton, and had several children, of whom was ADAM LODGE, Esq., who m. in 1797 Mary, eldest surviving dau. of the Rev. Richard Owen, M.A. of Bodsilin, co. Carnarvon, Rector of Rhos- colyn, in Anglesey, and had issue three sons: 1. Richard Owen, who died young; 2.

Crest, On a chapeau gu. turned up erm. ; an eagle, wings endorsed, or. feeding on an infant in its nest, ppr. swaddled az. banded of the first Motto, Sans changer. The crest of " the eagle feeding an infant in its cradle,'' borne by the STANLEYS, Earls of Derby, is derived from the family of Lathom, of Lathom, co. Lancaster, the heiress of which, Isabel, daughter of Sir Thomas Lathom, of La- thom and Knowsley, married Sir John Stanley, K.G., Lord Deputy of Ireland. Tradition narrates, that one of the La- thonis having abandoned and exposed an illegitimate son in the nest of an eagle, in the wood of Terlestowe, near his castle, afterwards discovered that the bird, in- stead of devouring the infant, had supplied it with food and preserved its life. This miraculous circumstance, continues the legend, so touched the father's feelings, that he repented of his cruel intention, and taking home the child, made him his heir. Thus is popularly traced the origin of the singular crest of the house of Stanley ; but the story is so improbable, that we can afford it slight credence.

Marston of Willenhall does not occur in the His- tories of Staffordshire, but notwithstanding this, when the Rev. G. H. Fisher, incum- bent of Willenhall, became located there, not many years ago, and shortly before the Marstons' mansion was consigned, with the rest of the property, to the " great com- mercial vortex," he finding it the chief mansion in his parish, or chapelry, made notes of it, and collected the local memo- rials of the Marstons prior to its demoli- tion, which he did, not to gratify the family (to whom he was then unknown), but merely from antiquarian taste, and his conviction of the intrinsic rights to consi- deration of both the mansion and its former owners. Like most such buildings of its era, it was a large family house, with walled garden, fish-ponds, &c. The rea- son its owners are not noticed in " Shaw's Staffordshire" was probably the circum- stance that the estate was chiefly copyhold, held of the manor of Stowhesth, whereof the Lsveson family (since Giffard of Chil- lington. and the Duke of Sutherland, by inheritance) are lords, which Lcvesonpedi - gree is there published ; besides, " Shaw's Staffordshire" was not published till after "the Marstons' decline. " Harwood's Staf- fordshire" was not brought out till after their mansion was demolished, and the family dispersed. D' ARCY (as borne by GEO. JAS. NORMAN D'ARCT, Esq. of Hyde Park, co.

Fide et for- titudine. * Upon the first arrival in England of the Con- queror, there was amongst his companions a famous soldier, called Geffray de Magnavil.'so de- signated from the town of Magnavil in the Duchy of Normandy, who obtained as his share in the spoil of conquest, divers fair and wide spreading domains in the counties of Berks, Suffolk, Middlesex, Surrey, Oxford, Cambridge, Herts, Northampton, Warwick, and Essex. The grand- Bon of this richly gifted noble, another GEOFFREY BE M ANDF.VILLE, was advanced by King Stephen to the Earldom of Essex, and acted a distin- guished part in the troubled times in which he lived. His last surviving son William de Mande- ville, succeeded as third Earl of Essex, at the decease of his brother Geoffrey, and not long after made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. At his death, which occurred in 1190, the feudal lordship and estates he enjoyed devolved on hig aunt Beatrix, wife of William de Say; and from her passed to the husband of her grand-daughter the celebrated Geoffrey Fitz-Piers, Justice of England, whom Matthew Paris characterizes as " ruling the reins of government so, that after his death, the realm was like a ship in a tempest without a pilot." His only daughter and eventual heiress, Maud, wedded Robert de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, and had a son, Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, with whose male descendants the latter Earldom continued until the decease, in 1372. of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, Northampton, and Essex, whose elder daughter and co-heir, Alianore, married Th mas of Woodstock, Duke of Glou- cester, sixth son of Edward 111., and was mother of Anne Plantagenet, the consort of William Bourchier, Earl of Ewe, in Normandy. Of this alliance, the son and heir, Henry Bourchier, Earl of Ewe, obtained a patent of the Earldom of Essex in 1461, and was succeeded therein by his grandson, Henry Bourchier, second Earl of Essex, at whose demise, in 1539, the representation of his illustrious house and of the Mandevilles and hohuns, Earls of Essex, devolved on his sister Cicely, wife of John Devfreux, Lord Ferrers of Chartley, whose great-grandson, Walter Devereux, second Viscount Hereford, was raised in 1572 to the Earldom of Essex, a title that expired with Robert Devereux, third Earl, the Parliamentary General. It was, however, revived in about fifteen years after in the person of Arthur, Lord Capel, whose wife, the Lady Elizabeth Percy, was grand- daughter of Ladv Dorothy Devereux, sister of Robert, Earl of Essex, the favourite of Queen Elizabeth. Thus the descent of the present Karl of Essex is clearly shewn from the Mandevilles, the Bohuns, the Bourchiers, and the Devereuxes, the successive posessors of the Earldom.

Amonst the knights who accompanied Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke, better known as Earl Strong- bow, in the first invasion of Ireland A.D. 1169, were GILBERT DE ANGULO, or Nangle, and his two sons Jocelyn and Hcstilio. From the latter descends the family of Costello, called from him Mac HostUio, or MacCostello; they acquired possession of an extensive territory in the Province of Connaught; from them the Barony of Costello, in the county Mayo, in that Province, derived its name. Hos- tilio De Angulo was father of Milo or Miles MacHostilio, who left a son Philip MacCostello. Gilbert De Aiigulo obtained the territory of Magherigalen or Morgal- lion and other lands in Meath; he was witness to the grant of the lands of Howth to Sir Almeric de St. Lawrence. He was succeeded by his son Jocelyn de Angulo, who obtained from Hugh de Lacy the lands of Ardbraccan, and the Barony of Navan. We may here mention that the county of Meath was granted to HUGH DE LACY by King Henry II., in full sove- reignty, with all rights, immunities, pri- vileges, and authorities, as fully as the King himself held it, " quod ibi habeo, vel illo dare possum ," and thus originated the palatine Barons of that county ; they may be thus enumerated : DE ANGULO, Baron of Navan; MISSET, Baron of Lune, whose three coheiresses carried the estates into the families of Vernaill, Talbot, and Loundres; HUSSET, Baron of Galtriin; FLEMING, Baron of Slane; PHEPOE, Baron of Scrine, which passed by a female to the Maurewards, and afterwards by another female to the Nugents; TUITE, Baron of Delvin, which passed to the Fitz- Johns, and afterwards by an heiress to the Nugents; PETIT, Baron of Dunboyne, which passed by an heiress to the Butlers, who were by King Henry VIII., created Lords of Parliament by that title; DE LACY, Baron of Rathwyre, or Ferbill, by them forfeited in 1315, for joining Edward Bruce, in his invasion of Ireland ; CUSACK, Baron of Culmullen ; TYRRELL, Baron of Castleknock, which went by an heiress to 54 HERALDIC REGISTER. the family of Serjeants, a family that was in very early times separated from Meath and united to the county of Dublin. From these grants, and from the first possessors having been created barons by the Lord of the Palatinate, who exercised the rights of sovereignty, the divisions were called baronies, which term ultimately became the general name for the great divisions of counties. LETHBRIDGE (Sandhill Park, co.

Somerset, lineally descended from Sir Wm. Periam, Knt., Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, temp. Queen Elizabeth. The quarterings of Buckler and Giffard were brought in, by the marriage of the first baronet, Sir John Lethbridge, with Dorothea, elder daughter and coheir (with her sister Mary, wife of Francis Dugdale Astley, Esq. of Everley) of William Buckler, Esq. of Boreham, Wilts, descender! from Sir Walter Buckler, of the reign of Elizabeth, Crests, First, Out of a, mural crown or. a demi eagle displayed ppr. ; secon.l, Out of a ducal coronet, two arms in armour hold- ing a leopard's face.

Sup- porters, two griffins, proper. Motto, Deo Juvante, originating from Grimoald, Duke of Benevento, son of the King of Italy, who, being presumptuously sum- moned by Pepin, son of Charlemagne, to submit to Mm, replied : " Liber et ingenuus sum natus utroque parente Semper ero liber Credo Deo Juvente." The history of the Grimaldi family was published at Paris, in 1647, in a folio volume, entitled "Genealogica et Histories Grimaldse Gentis arbor " it is also found in that valuable and extraordinary work, of Henninge's, " Theatrum Genealo- gicum," printed at Magdeburg, 1598, be- ing, perhaps, the first book ever published on the subject ; it is likewise in Le Pere Anselme's " Histoire Genealogique de la Maison Royale de France et des Paris," 1728 ; and, amongst many others, in Anderson's " Royal Genealogies," pub- lished in London, in 1736 ; and, at great extent, in the Marquis Adorno's " Gene- alogie delle Famiglie Nobili di Geneva," published at Genoa, in 1825. From these works it appears that this family is descended, in the male line, from the Merovingian Kings of France, having for ancestor, Pharamond, King of the West Franks in 420 : it possesses the Sovereign principality of Monaco, in Italy it ranked, until the French Revo- lution, as the third foreign princely house of France, in which kingdom it had the Duchy Peerage of Valentinois, it ranks as Ducal in Spain, where in 1720 and 1783, the Marquesses Guiseppe and Hi- eronimo Grimaldi were Prime Ministers ; it has thrice married into the Imperial House of Lorraine, by one of which mar- riages it obtained the Principality of Li- sein it possessed the Principality of Saint Catherine in Sicily, and those of Hierace and Salerno (the latter being now in the Royal Family), in Naples, and it ranks as Ducal in Genoa, where it has given several Doges to the Republic, and ruled in an- cient times as Consuls. The ninth in descent in the male line from Pharamond, King of the West Franks, in 420, was Griinvaldus (Major- Domus of his kinsman, Childebert III., King of France), the brother of Charles Martel, who was grandfather of Charle- magne. Grimvaldus was slain in 714 ; his wife was Theodilinda, daughter of Rabotus, Duke of Frisia. The fifth in male descent from Grim- HERALDIC REGISTER. 55 valdus, was Grimaldi, Prince of Monaco, who obtained that Sovereignty, for his valour, from the Emperor Otho, in 920, in chief and perpetual demesne. This small Principality is situated at the con- fines of Nice, on the banks of the Medi- terranean ; it has descended in direct succession, and is held by the family at this day, ranking as one of the Sovereign Principalities of Europe. This Prince Grimaldi married Crispina, the daughter of Rollo Duke of Normandy, and from their younger son sprung the house of Bee Crispin, of Normandy five mem- bers of which accompanied their kinsman William the Conqueror, into England, in 1066, and survived the Battle of Has- tings three of whom are recorded in Domesday Book, as tenants in chief.

The fury of the tempest shattered the mainmast and carried overboard Mr. Heard, who happened to be standing on the topsail yard, encouraging the seamen in their arduous duties. All hope of saving the young officer seemed to have vanished, when attention being directed to disencumbering the vessel from the wreck, he was discovered enveloped in the rigging floating alongside !

WIL- LIAM, was bred to arms, and served many years in Colonel Prittie's regiment of horse.

He was one of the officers chosen by lot at Whitehall, on Friday, the 20th April, 1649, to go for the service of Ireland, and ap- pointed by Cromwell to the command of an independent company of horse in that country. He assisted at the siege and capture of Waterford, and distinguished himself in many other actions. After the surrender of that city, he was dispatched with his corps to take possession of the castle of Faithlegg or Fatlock, a stronghold situate about five miles distant ; in this he succeeded after a severe contest, in which Aylward, the lord and commandant of the castle, was slain. Cromwell sub- sequently granted to him the castle and estate of Faithlegg, containing 827 acres, plantation measurement, in satisfaction of pay, and arrears of pay due, and in re- ward for services performed. The com- missioners appointed on the restora- tion of King Charles the Second, for the settlement of the kingdom, gave Capt. William Bolton, a certificate of great ser- vices in the reduction of Ireland, on which that King by his commissioners, confirmed the previous grant, and gave him other lands, by patent dated 19th May, 1666, to the amount of 2834 acres. Besides these grants, Captain William Bolton purchased other lands and had considerable posses- sions about Faithlegg, Waterford, and Dub- lin.

Sir John Rolfs military career has been full of incident. He en- tered the Army as Ensign by purchase in the 58th Regiment, in the year 1800, and was present at the glorious landing in Egypt, 8th March, 1801, in Aboukir Bay, which, two years before, had been the scene of the great naval victory achieved by Nelson. The 58th formed part of the reserve under Sir John Moore, and, after carrying the almost perpendicular sand- hills, and capturing nearly the whole of the enemy's guns, the victors had ordered arms to recover breath after their rapid ascent, when some French tiralleurs who had ensconced themselves behind a little sand-hill opened their fire at the colours, one of which Ensign Rolt had the honour of bearing. The first ball must have passed over the Ensign's shoulder, but the next struck him in the left side, within an inch of the heart. The rib, however, turning the ball, it traversed round and came out at his back, felling him as if dead.* * After lying for upwards of an hour on the sandhills, Ensign Rolt was found by some of the band of his Regiment, who were employed with blankets to take the wounded down to the beach, where his wounds were dressed by the surgeon of the regiment, and he was then taken on board the hospital ship. The head surgeon was a Dr. White, and the first thing he did, after getting the Ensign into bed, was to call for a lighted candle, and holding it to the wound in front, he made the Ensign cough, thinking he would have blown out the candle, but that not taking place, the Doctor held the candle to the wound behind, where the ball had passed out, but the same result followed, no flickering of the candle took place, and Dr. White then said " Well, I think you have a chance, the lungs are not injured." He then went to get some dressing, and when he returned to the wardroom the Ensign was fast asleep, to the Doctor's great distress, as he had some difficulty in waking his patient, but which was necessary in order to stop the bleeding. In less than six weeks Ensign Rolt had again joined his Regiment, though contrary to the advice and wish of Dr. White, both wounds being still open. The consequence of this in- discretion was that he caught a fever from ac- companying his brigade in a long march into the desert to intercept a French dromedary corps. The service was effected, and the whole of the Dromedary corps were made prisoners, but on getting back to camp, Ensign Rolt was in a high fever, his pulse being at 120 s . All that night two soldiers were required to keep In 1805 Captain Rolt accompanied, as a volunteer, his regiment in the expedi- tion to Naples, and great were the hopes and expectations of that little army, com- manded by General Sir James Craigh, to which had been added a Russian force of from twelve to fifteen thousand men, but the battle of Austerlitz annihilating the Grand Russian Army, one of the articles of the treaty which followed, directed that the Russian Army in Italy should imme- diately evacuate that country, and Sir James Craigh had to retrace his steps and return to Naples, where he reem- barked and sailed for Messina in Sicily. In 1809 Captain Rolt proceeded with his regiment, still the 58th (2nd battalion), to Portugal. He landed at Lisbon in the month of September of that year, took the field immediately with his brigade, consisting of the 2nd battalions of the 5th and 58th regiments, and from that time, Sept. 1809, to the conclusion of the war at Toulouse in 1814, he was never one day absent from his duty, or one day inefficient, and was engaged in the greater part of the battles and sieges of those eventful six years. In 1810 he was appointed to the Portuguese service as Major of the 13th Portuguese Infantry, and in 18 12 he was appointed Lieutenant Colonel, command- ing the 17th Portuguese Regiment, and had the good fortune, soon after assum- ing the command, to be appointed to the 1st brigade of the Light Division, and in that brigade commanded his regiment in the battles of Yittoria. Nivelle, Nieve, Orthes, and Toulouse, for which he has received medals, and the War Medal him down in the tent, towards morning how- ever, from exhaustion, he became something more tranquil, but the only chance of saving his life being removal from the burning sands of the desert to Rosetta, where the general hospi- tal was established, he was carried in the morning on hoard a half-decked vessel, of about 20 tons burden, and placed upon a plank, appa- rently in a dying state. The boat set sail down the Nile for Rosetta, but about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, was upset by a sudden gust of wind in the middle of the Nile, and filling with water, went down immediately. The Ensign's servant, desirous of saving his master, caught him by the hair. This, and the shock of the cold immersion, brought Ensign Rolt to his senses, and being a good swimmer, he cried out, " Let me go, Davis, I can swim." The crew on board a row boat which happened to be near when the Germ went down, pulled to the spot, and saved the drowning men, but everything in the way of luggage having gone down in the boat, Ensign Rolt and his servant had no change of dress of any sort, and re- mained in their wet clothes until they got to Rosetta, which they did not re.ch until noon the next day, by which time however the fever was gone, and except being weak, the invalid was quite convalescent. 98 HERALDIC REGISTER. for Egypt, and for the battles of Busaco and Pyrenees. In 1823 Lieutenant Colonel Rolt was appointed to the command of the 2nd or Queen's Royals, and by assiduity and attention raised the regiment to a high state of discipline, as may be seen by a reference to the official return of Cor- poral Punishments during the seventeen months of his command as compared with the Courts Martial and Punishments of the eight preceding months. From 1826 to 1830, he served on the staff in Ireland, as Assistant Adjutant Gene- ral of the Connaught district ; in 1837 he obtained the brevet of Colonel, in 1846 became Major General, and in 1848 was invested with the insignia of a Knight Commander of the Bath.

His Lordship died in London, on the 20th August, sincerely regretted. He was chief of the great Scottish house of Airlie, and derived 27th in lineal descent from the 1st Thane of Angus. The name of Ogilvy, originally assumed by Gilbert (3rd son of Gilbert, Thane of Angus) who fought at the Battle of the Standard in 1138, and obtained from King William a grant of the lands of Powrie, OGILVY, and others, has stood for ages prominent on the page of Scottish story. In the civil wars, King Charles had no more zealous adherents than James, Earl of Airlie, and his three sons. The eldest, who succeeded to the coronet, was taken prisoner at Philiphaugh, and sentenced to death, but escaped the night before that fixed for his execution, in the attire of his sister. The second brother, the Hon. Sir Thomas Ogilvy, fell at Inverlochy, and the third, Sir David, fought with equal gallantry for his Royal master. In more recent times, still faithful in their allegi- ance to the Stuarts, the Ogilvies suffered confiscation and attainder for their par- ticipation in the risings of '15 and '45. In the latter memorable year, David Lord Ogilvy joined the Chevalier at Edinburgh, bringing with him a regiment of 600 men, chiefly of his own name and family. His nephew was the respected nobleman whose death we record. Lord Airlie was born 16th Dec., 1785, and succeeded his father in 1819, when he assumed his hereditary dignities, which were confirmed by Act of Parliament, 26th May, 1826. He married, 1st, 7th Oct., 1812, Clemen- tina, only child of Gavin Drummond, Esq., and by her, who d. 1st Sept., 1835, had one son, David Graham Drummond, pre- sent peer. His Lordship's second Countess was Margaret, only child of the late William Bruce, Esq., of Cowden, and grand-daughter of William Bruce, Esq., of Newton, by his wife, Janet Bruce of Clackmannan. By this lady, who died 17th June, 1845, he had four sons. CAPT. WM. BROUGHTON, R.N. This gallant officer died at Tenby, on the 17th August, in his 45th year. He was born 23rd Oct., 1804, the eldest son of the late Capt. William Ro bcrt Brough- ton, R.N., C.B , who circumnavigated the world under Vancouver, and grand - son, maternally, of the late Rev. Sir Thomas Delves Broughton, Bart. Pater- nally, he was also descended from the same family, his father having been great- great-grandson of Sir Brian Broughton, on whom the title of Baronet was con- ferred in 1660. He entered the Royal Navy in Nov. 1817, took an active part in the Burmese war, while mate of the Boadicea, from Aug., 1825, to-the "early part of the following year; was subse- quently employed on the North Sea, Lis- bon, North America, and West India Stations, and in 1830, when in command of the Primrose, off the coast of Africa, captured, after a furious engagement, the Spanish slave-ship Veloz Passagera. In 1832, he received, in requital of this gal- lant action, his post rank, and afterwards served on the coast of Spain during the Car- list war, and in South America during the contest of the Chilians and Peruvians. His last employment was in command of the Cura9oa, since 1 846, on the south- east coast of America, Captain Broughton married 3rd Jan., 1833, Elizabeth, eldest daughter of John Prefect, Esq., of Ponte- fract, banker, and had four daughters. CHARLES ALBERT, EX-KING OF SARDINIA. CHARLES ALBERT AMADEUS, the late unfortunate Monarch of Sardinia was the son of Charles Emmanuel, Duke of Savoy Carignan,* and was born on the 2nd Oct., 1798. He succeeded his father in the Duchy of Savoy Carignan, the 16th August, 1800, and his kinsman, King Charles Felix, in the kingdom of Sardinia the 27th April, 1831. He married, 30th September, 1817, the Archduchess Maria Theresa, daughter of Ferdinand, Grand Duke of Tuscany, by whom he had two sons, Victor Emmanuel, the present King of Sardinia, and Ferdinand, Duke of Genoa. The recent career of Charles Albert has been so much before the public, that little need be said of it here. His armed inter- ference in favour of the revolted Italian '* Charles Emmanuel, Duke of Savoy Carignan. was fourth in descent from Emmanuel Philibert, Prince of Carignan, uncle of the renowned PRINCE EUGENF, and son of Thomas Francis, I'rince of Carignan, 2nd son of Charles Emman- uel, Duke of Savoy, and titular King of Cyprus. OBITUARY FOR AUGUST. provinces led, after much gallant display on his part, to his ultimate defeat, and his resignation of his crown in favour of his son. He retired into Spain, and thence into Portugal, where he died on the 28th July. Charles Albert was a Prince of a chivalrous, though inconsistent character, for he was formerly engaged on the side of France in putting down the Liberal party in Spain in 1823. Charles Albert's predecessor on the throne, VICTOR EMMANUEL, elder brother of Charles Felix, was heir and represen- tative of our English royal lines of Plan- tagenet, Tudor, and Stuart, by descent from Henrietta Maria, daughter and ultimately heiress of Charles I., King of England. His Majestv left three daughters and co- heirs, of whom the eldest, Maria Beatrice Victoire Josephine, married, in 1812, Francis IV., reigning Duke of Modena, and died in 1840 ; leaving, with other issue, a son Francis Ferdinand, hereditary Prince of Modena, now representative of the Houses of Plantagenet, Tudor, and Stuart. MRS. CROMWELL RUSSELL OF CHESHUNT PARK, HERTS. Elizabeth Oliveria, Mrs. Cromwell Rus- sell, was only daughter and heiress of the late Oliver Cromwell, Esq., of Theobalds, who was great-grandson of Henry Crom- well, Lord Deputy of Ireland, third son of the Lord Protector, OLIVER CROMWELL. Henry Cromwell, the Lord Deputy, had, besides his son Henry, from whom Mrs. Cromwell Russell descended, a daughter Elizabeth, who became the wife of William Russell, Esq., of Fordham Abbey, and is now represented by William Andrew Dyer, Esq , of Gloucester-place, who is consequently great-great-great-great- grandson of the Lord Protector. After the death of Oliver Cromwell, in 1658, Richard, his eldest son, succeeded to the sovereign power, but his rule lasted only seven months and twenty-eight days. He preferred the tranquillity of private life, and survived, in retirement, to the advanced age of eighty-seven. Pennant, the quaint historian, mentions that his father had told him that he used often to see, at the Don Saltero Coffee-house at Chelsea, poor Richard Cromwell, " a little and very neat old man, with a most placid coun- tenance, the effect of his innocent and un- ambitious course." Richard left no male issue ;* consequently, the representation * By Dorothy, his wife, dau. of Richard Major, Esq., of Hursley, he had three daughters, the youngest of whom, the wife of John Mortimer, Esq., F.R.S., died at the age of twenty, without issue ; of the other two, Miss Elizabeth Crom- well, and Mrs. Gibson, Mr. I.uson says, " I have i-veral times been in company with these ladies : of the Lord Protector's family was carried on by the descendants of his (Richard's) next brother, Henry, of whom, as we have already stated, Mrs. Cromwell Russell was the heir and representative. Her father, Oliver Cromwell, a solicitor of eminence, and clerk of St. Thomas's Hospital, suc- ceeded, under the will of his cousins, the Miss Cromwells, to an estate at Theobalds, Herts, which had been granted by Charles II. to General Monk for his services in restoring the Monarchy! He published some very interesting memoirs of his an- cestors, and felt so honourable a pride in his descent, that, wishing to perpetuate the name of his great ancestor, he ap plied for permission that his son-in-law (the husband of his only daughter) should as- sume the surname of Cromwell, a permis- sion the illiberality of the Government of the day refused. The lady whose death has originated these few remarks on the family of the famous Chief of the Commonwealth, was born 8th June, 1777, and married, 18th June, 1801, Thomas Artemidorus Russell, Esq., by whom she had several children. FRANCES, COUNTESS OF DARTMOUTH. Her Ladyship was second daughter of George, fifth Viscount Barrington, by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of Robert Adair, Esq. She was born 20th October, 1802, and became the second wife of the present Earl of Dartmouth on the 25th October, 1828. The issue of the marriage consists of fourteen surviving children six sons and eight daughters. The eminence of the Barrington family was caused by the singular bequest to the Countess's great-grandfather, John Shute, Esq., barrister-at-Iaw, of a large property in Berkshire, by John Wildman, Esq., of Becket ; the will declaring the only rea- son the testator had for making Mr. Shute his heir was, that he considered him the most worthy of all his acquaintance of adoption, after the manner of the Romans, a mode of settling property of which he had always approved. Shute Barrington, the excellent and estimable Bishop of Durham, was grand-uncle of Lady Dart- mouth. they were well-bred, well-dressed, stately women, exactly punctilious, but they seemed, especially Mrs. Cromwell, to carry about them a conscious- ness of high rank, accompanied with a secret dread that those with whom they conversed should not observe and acknowledge it. They had neither the great sense nor the great enthu- siasm of Mrs. Bendysh ; but, as the daughter of Ireton had dignity without pride, so they had pride without dignity." Their unfilial conduct to their father remains a sad blot on their me- mory; and the meekness of poor Kichard Crom- well makes their want of feeling more especially painful. OBITUARY FOR AUGUST. THE REV. EDWARD CHRISTOPHER DOWDES- WELL, D.D. The decease of this venerable Divine occurred on the 1st August, at the age of 86- He was Canon of Christ Church, Oxford, and Rector of the valuable living of Stanford Kivers, Essex.

The celebrated p rsonage married Bridget, dau. of Sir William Codrington, Bart., and had a large family, of which the eldest daughter, Elizabeth, Lady Pepys, was mother of the present Lord Cottenham, and the only surviving son is John Edmund Dowdes- we 1, Esq., of Pull Court, the Master in Chancery.

At one time he represented his native county, Tipperary, in which his father is one of the largest landed proprietors, and was subsequently returned to Parliament for Dungarvon, through his connexion with the Duke of Devonshire, to whom he was nearly re- lated. The O'Callaghans, formerly princes of Munster, are one of the veiy few native families, dignified by the peerage of Ireland. As Mr. O'Callaghan has died unmarried, the Hon. George Ponsonby O'Callaghan, his only surviving brother, becomes heir-apparent to the title. SIR THOMAS READE, KNT.

His aunt, Margaret Redingtou, married the late Lord Ffrench, and was mother of the present Peer.

Sept. 10 His ROYAL HIGHNESS ALBERT EDWARD, PRINCE OF WALES, K.G., created an Earl of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, under the title of EARL OF DUBLIN, with remainder to his heirs, kings of the said United Kingdom. The first occasion on which the city of Dublin gave title to a peerage was in 1386, when ROBERT DE VERB, 10th EARL OF OXFORD was created MARQUESS OF DUBLIN. In a year after his Lordship HONOURS CONFERRED AND CHANGES OF NAMES. received the higher dignity of Duke of Ireland. His writ of summons, dated 8th Aug., 1836, is addressed to him as " Roberto de Veer, Marchioni Dublin," and that of the 17th Dec., 1387, as " Carissimo Consanguineo Regis Ro- berto Duci Hibernise." Robert de Vere was the especial favourite of King Richard II. and obtained large terri- torial grants from the Crown, among which was the Castle of Okeliam in Rutland. Upon his elevation to the Marquisate of Dublin, his lordship obtained a grant of the " land and dominion of Ireland," with all profits, revenues, and regalities, as amply as the King himself ought to en- joy the same, to hold by homage and allegiance. And in the next year, within a few months, he was created DUKE OP IRELAND. Those high honours and immunities exciting the jealousy of the nobles, and the fa- vourite bearing his honours imperi- ously, several of the great lords assembled at Haringhay House, near Highgate, in the County of Middle- sex, and evinced open hostility to the Royal minion. From thence, at the desire of the King, who became alarmed, they transferred their deli- berations to Westminster, and in reply to an interrogatory put to them by the Bishop of Ely, then Lord Chancellor, they demanded that the King should dismiss the traitors that surrounded him, amongst whom they particularised " Robert Vere, DUKE OF IRELAND." For the moment, how- ever, Richard allayed this tumult by fair promises, but De Vere not con- sidering himself safe, soon after ef- fected his escape in disguise, to the Continent, accompanied by Michael de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk. He sub- sequently returned to England, at the head of four or five thousand men, and marching into Oxfordshire, was met at Radcote-bridge, on the river Isis, by the Earl of Derby and Duke of (Gloucester, where his troops being surrounded, he could secure personal safety only by abandon- ing his sword, gauntlets, and armour, and thus swimming down the stream. In the pursuit the Duke's chariot hav- ing fallen into the hands of his foes, it is said that they discovered these let- ters from the King, calling upon him to hasten to London, and that the monarch would be ready to live or die for him. In a Parliament soon after convened, through the influence of the nobles, the Duke, not appearing to a citation, was sentenced to banish- ment, and at the same tune outlawed and attainted. He effected, however, again his escape to the continent, where, being wounded by a wild boar while hunting, he died of the hurt at Lovaine, anno 1392, in great" distress and poverty, his English property being all confiscated, and his honours EXTINGUISHED by the ATTAINDER. The Duke m. first Lady Phillipa de Courcy, dau. and heiress of Ingleram, Earl of Bedford, by his wife, the Princess Isabel, dau. of King Edward III., which noble lady, hi the zenith of his prosperity, he repudiated, and m. secondly, one Lancerona, a joiner's daughter, who came out of Bohemia with Anne, Queen Consort of King Richard. He had no issue, however, by either. From the attainder of this cele- brated noble, nearly four centu- ries elapsed before Dublin again conferred a name on a peerage honour. In 1766, H.R.H. Henry Frederick, brother of King George III., became Duke of Cumberland and EARL OF DUBLIN, but died s. p. 18th Sept., 1790, when the diguity expired. The next EARL OF DUBLIN was the late Duke of Kent, her Majesty's father, whose Irish peerage was so designated- Sept. 13 Joseph Hardy, of Pic- cadilly, Corkcutter, one of the Trus- tees named in the last will and testament of Elizabeth Mary Noble Horwood, late of Eaton-square, spin- ster, deceased, and Guardian appointed by the High Court of Chancery, of CHARLES GREEN, the younger, a minor of the age of nine years, and upwards, has obtained the Royal Licence on behalf of the said Charles Green, that he the said Charles Green may take the name of Horwood, in lieu of that of Green, in compliance Avith the testamentary injunction of the said Elizabeth Mary Noble Hor- wood. OBITUARY. AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER. MAJOR-GENERAL THOMAS HUNTER BLAIR, C.B. This gallant officer died at Leamington on the 31st Aug., and adds another name to the long list of the departed heroes of the Peninsula and Waterloo. Few earned military reputation with more distinguish- ed service. He entered the army in 1802 : in 1808 he proceeded to the Peninsula, and participated in the battles of Roleia and Vimiera, the action at Lugo, and the retreat and victory of Corunna. Subse- quently, he assisted at the capture of Oporto, and was severely wounded at Talavera. The latter unlucky circum- stance proved of great injury to Major Hunter Blair, for while in hospital he was made prisoner by the French, and de- tained in France until the peace of 1814. The next year's brilliant campaign of Waterloo gave the gallant officer an- other opportunity of distinction, but he was again severely wounded on that me- morable field. The last sphere of action on which Col. Hunter Blair was engaged was India, where he remained several years, and served with great credit during the Burmese war, commanding a brigade in Ava, and distinguishing himself at the taking of Melloon. He was a companion of the Order of the Bath, and received clasps for Roleia, Vimiera, Cornnna, and Talavera. His commission of Lieutenant- Colonel bears date the day of Waterloo; that of Major-General he attained in 1846. The deceased was the sixth son of the late Sir James Hunter Blair, Bart., of Blairquhan, and brother of the present Sir David, and of James Blair, Esq., M.P., of Dunskey, whose estates he inherited. He married, in 1820, Eliza, daughter of J. Norris, Esq. HARRY-SHIPLEY, LORD CARDRO8S. The youthful Lord Cardross died at Leamington, on the 21st Sept., in his 15th year. He was grandson of the present Earl of Buchan, by Elizabeth, his first wife, youngest daughter and coheir (with her sisters, Katherine Jane, m. to Colonel Warner, and Augusta-Mary, ;. to James Alexander Manning, Esq.,) of the late Major-Gen. Sir Charles Shipley, Colonel of Engineers, and Governor of Grenada. By his lordship's death, his uncle, the Hon. David Stewart Erskine becomes heir apparent to the family honours, which, in point of antiquity and historic distinction, are prominent on the roll of Scottish peerages. In our own times, too, few families have gained more eminence for intellectual attainments than that of Ers- kine. The present Earl of Buchan is son of the late Henry Erskine of Amondell, so distinguished by the amiability of his private character, the profundity of his legal knowledge, and the brilliancy of his wit: and nephew of Thomas, first Lord Erskine the Lord Chancellor. JOHK PAYNE ELWES, ESQ.- OF STOKE COL- LEGE, CO. SUFFOLk. The decease of this gentleman, at one time M.P. for the Northern Division of Essex, occurred at his seat Stoke College, in the 52nd year of his age. Mr. Elwes was son and heir of the late Colonel John Timms, who assumed the surname and arms of Elwes, on inheriting the landed property of his grand-uncle, John Elwes, so well known as the Miser, and so dis- tinguished for integrity, generosity, and parsimony. Of this singular personage, Captain Topham of the Horse Guards wrote an interesting memoir, which exhi- bits one of the most extraordinary charac- ters perhaps to be found in the whole range of British biography: full details also ap- pear in the ' Anecdotes of the Aristo- cracy," recently published. Mr. J. Payne Elwes was born 13th of May, 1798, and married 17th July, 1824, Charlotte-Elizabeth, fourth daughter of Isaac Elton, Esq. of Stapleton House, co. Gloucester, and has left two sons and four daughters. He was a Magistrate for the counties of Suffolk and Essex, and served as High Sheriff of the former in 1826, SIR CHARLES HAMILTON, BART. Sir Charles Hamilton (Senior Admiral of the Red), born May 25, 1767, was eldest son of Captain Sir John Hamilton, R.N. (who was created a baronet July 6, 1766, for the important part he had borne, as Commander of her Maje-ty's ship Lizard, at the defence of Quebec in the preceding year), by Cassandra Agnes, his wife, daughter of Edward Chamberlayne, OBITUARY FOR AUGUST AND SEPTEM13KR. Esq., of Maugersbury, co. Gloucester. He was brother of the present Admiral Sir Edward Hamilton, Bart., K.C.B., first cousin of Commander John Chamber- layne, R.N., and great-grandson of the Hon. William Hamilton, of Chilston, brother of James, sixth Earl of Abercorn. He succeeded his father in the Baronetcy, Jan. 24, 1784. Charles Hamilton entered the navy in the summer of 1776, as Cap- tain's servant, on board the Hector, 74, commanded by his father. From that period his life was one continued course of devotion to the service and glory of his country. While captain of the Melpo- mene, Hamilton acquired, after cruising in the North Sea, the official acknowledg- ments of Lord Hood, for his meritorious conduct and steady perseverance in main- taining, under manifest difficulties, the station assigned him off Calvi during the operations of 1794 against Corsica, where he commanded the Dido and Amiable, in unison with three hundred of the natives, in an attack on the outposts of Giralata, which surrendered at the close of a siege of ten days. During the nearly seven years and a half of his continuance in the Melpomene, he captured upwards of forty of the enemy's vessels. On his return to England he was pre- sented with the thanks of both Houses of Parliament. In April, 1800, having as- sumed the command on the coast of Africa, Sir Charles Hamilton, with only his own frigate, the Ruby, 64, and Magna- nime, of 48 guns, under his orders, con- trived, by a bold front, and the stratagem of dressing the crews of several merchant- men in his charge with red shirts, for the purpose of imparting to the latter the ap- pearance of transports, to obtain posses- sion of the island of Goree. He after- wards, in the same ship, captured the French letter-of-marque Atiguste, of 10 guns and 50 men; and prior to the peace, he acted for some time as commissioner of the naval yard at Antigua. The Illus- trious, Temeraire, and Tonnant were commanded by Sir Charles Hamilton on the home, West India, and North Ameri- can stations. In 1809, he was nominated a Colonel of Marines, and from the period of his promotion to flag rank, July 31, 1810, until his receipt of a Vice-Admi- ral's commission, bearing date June 4, 1814, we find him officiating as Com- mander-in-Chief on the river Thames, with his flag in the Thisbe, 28. His last employment was that of Governor and Commander-in-Chief at Newfoundland, the duties of which office he filled from May 13, 1818, until July 5, 1824. During that period he received a very flattering address from the principal inhabitants of St. John's. He became a full Admiral July 22, 1830, and a K.C,B. January 29, 1833. Prior to the French revolutionary war, Sir Charles Hamilton held a seat in Parliament for the borough of St. Ger- mans, co. of Cornwall ; and he was after- wards returned for Honiton, in Devon- shire, and Dungannon, connty of Tyrone. He married, April 19, 1803, Henrietta Martha, only daughter of the late George Drummond, Esq., of Stanmore, county of Middlesex, the well-known banker, of Charing-cross, London. His only son, Charles John James (now the third baronet), is captain in the Scots Fusilier Guards. Sir Charles Hamilton, who at the period of his demise was Senior Admiral of the Red, and the second officer on the flag list, died on the 14th September, at his resi- dence, Iping, Sussex, in the 82nd year of his age. For the above particulars rela- tive to the gallant admiral we are mainly indebted to that recent work of wonder- ful labour and execution, O'Byrne's " Naval Biography," which already takes its place as an authority on the subject of which it treats, and is universally ad- mitted to be the ablest and most perfect record of the Naval Service ever pro- duced. SIR GRAVES CHAJfNEY HACGHTON, KT., K.H., F.R.8. The death of this distinguished Orien- tal scholar occurred at Cloud, near Paris, on the 28th August. Born in 1788 the second son of Dr. Hanghton of Dublin, by his wife, the daughter of Edward Archer, Esq., of Mount John, county Wicklow, he entered at an early age the military service of the Hon. East India Company, but retired from ill-health. Subsequently, having studied the Oriental languages in the College at Fort William, Calcutta, where he obtained many hon- ours, Mr. Haughton was appointed, in 1817, a Professor at Haileybury, and held that appointment until 1827. In 1832 he offered himself a candidate for the Bowden Professorship of Sanscrit at Oxford, but withdrew in favour of Mr. Wilson. In 1833 he received the honour of Knight- hood, and was a member of the National Institute of France. Sir Graves took for many years an active interest in the Royal Asiatic So- ciety, and was connected with several of the learned continental associations. Amongst his contributions to Oriental literature, we may mention his edition of the " Institutes of Menu," in the original Sanscrit ; his " Bengali Grammar," and his " Bengali, Sanscrit, and English Die- OBITUARY FOE AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER. tionary." He was also author of " Pro- domus ; or, an Inquiry into the First Principles of Reasoning," &c. He claimed descent from the old Lancashire family of Hoghton, of Hoghton Tower. LIEUT. -COLONEL GEORGE MAUNSELL. Lieut. - Colonel George Maunsell, whose death we record, for several years commanded the 3rd or Prince of Wales's Dragoon Guards, and served with great distinction in that regiment in the Penin- sula, from April, 1809, to the end of the war in 1814 including the battles of Talavera, the winter campaign of 1810 in the lines of Lisbon, actions of Campo Mayor and Los Santos, battles of Busaco and Albuera, action of Usagre, sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajos, and bat- tles of Vittoria and Toulouse. He com- manded a squadron at the brilliant ca- valry affair at Usagre, when three French regiments were defeated by the 3rd Dra- goon Guards. He retired, on half-pay unattached, in 1843 ; but, like his old and gallant brother officer in arms, Colonel Stawell, 12th Lancers, he declined re- tiring from the service. Lieut.-Colonel Maunsell had medals for Talavera, Al- buera, Vittoria, and Toulouse. Colonel Maunsell descended from an ancient Norman family that settled in Wales. Captain Thomas Maunsell, R.N., was the first of the family that went to Ireland, where he was sent in 1 609, with great authority and powers, from the Lords of His Majesty's Privy Council, to view and inform himself with respect to fortifying the ports, and with direction to settle in the country if he thought fit. He finally settled in the county of Waterford, when his eldest son defended the Castle of Maccollop against Cromwell. In 1650 Charles the Second granted lands to this family, part in the liberties of Limerick, as one of the forty-nine officers who re- mained loyal to Charles the First, while the junior branches of that family got large possessions by supporting Crom- well. Col. Maunsell's great-grandfather, Richard Maunsell, becoming possessed of the said lands in the liberties of Limerick, about 1710, settled there, and was re- turned to the Irish Parliament for that city from 1740 to 1761; from whom de- scended Robert Maunsell, Esq., the father of deceased. His grandfather was an eminent Irish barrister, K.C., and M.P., for Kilmalloch, Limerick. HENRY METCALF, ESQ., OF HAWSTED HOUSE, SUFFOLK. The death of Mr. Metcalfe took place at Hastings, on the 2nd Sept., in his fifty -ninth year. He was only son of the late Christopher Barton Metcalfe, Esq., and grandson of Christopher Metcalfe, Esq., a literary friend of the poet Dryden. The property at Hawsted came into the family principally through the marriage of that gentleman with Ellen, only child of Christopher Barton, Esq. Mr Met- calfe, whose decease we record, obtained an accession of fortune as heir to his grand-uncle, Philip Metcalfe, Esq., of Hill - street, Berkeley - square, F.R.S., F.S.A., and M.P., who was one of the executors and personal friends of Sir Joshua Reynolds. By Francis Jane, his wife (who died in 1830), daughter of Martin Whish, Esq., Commissioner of Excise, Mr. Metcalfe leaves three sons. THE RIGHT HON. LORD METHUEN. This venerable and much-respected no- bleman died at his residence in Park- street, Grosvenor-square, on the 14th Sept., aged 70. For many years previous to his elevation to the peerage, in 1838, his Lordship was Knight of the Shire for Wilts, and took a leading position among the Whig politicians of the time. His father was Paul Cobb Methuen, Esq., of Corsham, sometime M.P. for Great Bed- win, and his mother, Matilda, daughter of Sir Thomas Gooch, Bart., of Benacre. The family of Methuen takes its name from the Barony of Methven, in Perth- shire, and was long of distinction in Scot- land. The founder of the English branch, a scion of the Northern stem, was John Methven, or Methuen, of Bishop's Can- nings, Wilts, who was, in the reigns of William and Queen Anne, successively Chancellor of Ireland and Ambassador to Portugal; and was the framer of that treaty for the mutual interchange of port wine and woollen manufactures, which has subsisted till within a few years. Lord Methuen, whose decease we re- cord, married 31st July, 1810, Jane- Dorothea, eldest daughter of Sir Henry Paulet St. John Mildmay, Bart., of Dog- mersfield Park, Hants, and by her (who died 15th March, 1846) has left surviving issue three sons and one daughter; the eldest being Frederick-Henry-Paul, pre- sent Peer, Lieut.-Colonel of the Wiltshire Militia, who was born 23rd February, 1818, and married, 14th October, 1844, Anna-Horatia-Caroline, only daughter of the Rev. John Sanford, and has one son and three daughters. JOHN MUSTERS, J.P. AND D.L., OF COL WICK HALL, AND ANNESLEY-PARK, NOTTS. The death of this gentleman, in his 72nd year, occurred on the 8th Sept., at Annesley-park. Although distinguished in sporting and hunting circles, Mr. Mus- ters is best known to the public as the successful rival of Lord Byron in the af- OBITUARY FOB AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER. fections of Miss Chaworth, the lovely heiress of Annesley, and the solitary scion left Of a time-honour'd race. This lady, the "Mary Chaworth" of Byron's muse, became the wife of Mr. Musters in August, 1805, and died in February, 1832, from fright occasioned by the Reform riots at Nottingham. On his marriage, Mr. Musters assumed his wife's family name, but, subsequently, at the demise of his father, took back his patronymic. His extensive estates now devolve on his grandson, John Musters, a boy of thirteen years of age. The family of Musters, originally from Yorkshire, settled at Cohvick, Notts, pre- viously the property of the Byrons, some- time in the 17th century, and subse- quently much increased their property by intermarriages with heiresses. The first possessor of Cohvick, Sir John Musters, Knt., died in 1689, leaving, by Anne, his wife, daughter of Sir John Maynard, K.B., a son, John Musters, Esq., of Cohvick, who married Millicent, eldest daughter and heir of Adrian Mundy, Esq., and was great-grandfather of the late John Mus- ters, Esq., of Colwick, High Sheriff of Notts in 1777, who wedded Miss Hey- wood, daughter and co-heiress of James Modyford Heywood, Esq., of Maristow, county Devon, and left at his decease a son and successor, the gentleman whose death we record. THE HON. LADY NEAVE. This lady died, deeply lamented, on the 29th Aug., at Dagnam Park. She was born on the 28th October, 1809, the only daughter of James Everard, ninth Lord Arundell, of Wardour, by Mary, his second wife, daughter of Robert Burnett Jones, Esq., of Ades, in Sussex, Attorney General of Barbadoes ; and married, 7th August, 1828, Richard Digby Neave, Esq., who succeeded to the family Baro- netcy at the death of his father, the late Sir Thomas Neave, in 1848. Her Lady- ship leaves six sons and four daughters. Paternally, Lady Neave descended from the great and eminent English House of Arundell, and maternally, counted among her ancestors several distinguished Welsh chieftains. EDWARD STANLEY, D.D., BISHOP OF NORWICH. This respected and lamented divine, who, at the period of his decease, had nearly completed his 71st year, was bro- ther of John Thomas, present Lord Stan- ley, and second son of Sir John Thomas Stanley, sixth baronet of Alderly, in Cheshire, by Margaret, his wife, daughter and heiress of Hugh Owen, Esq., of Pen- rhos, in Anglesey. The branch of the noble family of Derby, from which the Stanleys, of Aldcrley descend, was found- ed by Sir John Stanley, Knt., brother of the celebrated general who contributed so effectually to Richmond's success at Bos- worth, and third son of Thomas, Lord Stanley, K.G., by Joan Goushill, his wife, fifth in descent from King Edward I. The Bishop of Norwich received his education at St. John's College, Cam- bridge. After many years devoted to the duties of a parish clergyman, he attained the mitre in 1837, and in that elevated position was universally esteemed, He presided over the Linnajan Society, and was author of " A familiar History of Birds." His Lordship was also Clerk of the Closet to her Majesty, and acted re- cently as one of the Commissioners of Inquiry respecting the British Museum. The Bishop's taste for music led to his patronage of Jenny Lind. Dr. Stanley married, 8th of May, 1810, Catherine, daughter of the Rev. Oswald Lycester, rector of Stoke, county Salop ; and has left two daughters and three sons, the latter being 1. Owen, Commander, R.N. ; 2. Arthur Penrhyn, Fellow of University College, Oxford ; and 3. Charles Edward, Captain Royal Engi- neers. DR. COOKE TAYLOR. William Cooke Taylor, L.L.D., has for many years been distinguished as a writer of great and original power, and of indefatigable industry. His death oc- curred on Wednesday, 12th Sept., in Dublin, from an attack of the prevailing disease, which has carried lamentation into so many homes. Dr. Taylor pos- sessed a working power which deserves to be called remarkable ; and numerous as are his works, and considerable as is their value, to this diffusion of his mind over many themes, it is owing that he has not left behind him something more important to literature and more beneficial to his own fame. He was a native of Youghal, in the county of Cork, and in early life was engaged in the scholastic profession, having been usher at the academy of Dr. Bell in Tipperary. He possessed great energy and industry, and was a most la- borious member of the literary body, his pen having been applied to a variety of subjects, critical, historical, and political. The branch of letters to which his own taste would have led him, if he could have chosen his subject, was scholastic disqui- sition ; for which, with his great indu.-try and powers of research, he was not ill- fitted though it may be doubted whether he had that subtlety required for refined OBITUARY FOR AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER. 9 rjiicic sm. His understanding was remark- ably versatile, and he rapidly mastered the general principles of any science to which he applied himself. Of late years he applied his pen to party politics, and a number of pamphlets and letters (most of them psuedonymous) have been not incorrectly attributed to him. He was a zealous writer in favour of the agitation for free trade, and equally zealous against agitation for the repeal of the Union. Dr. Taylor began his literary career, with the History of the Civil Wars in Ireland, an interesting and impartial produciion, and closed it with his House of Orleans. In this book the author makes the remark- able observation, that persons connected with that family had nearly all come to untimely ends he himself has just finished its history, and dies of cholera ! I In private and social life, Dr. Taylor was warmly cherished for his obliging dispo- sition and excellent qualities. He had the openness and generosity characteristic of his country, was just in his sentiments, and from much reading and experience had acquired a mass of miscellaneous intelligence which he could apply with soundness, discretion, and effect, to every class of his literary performances. His acquaintance with learned languages and statistics was of a comprehensive order, and the latter rendered him for many years a valuable Secretary to the Statis- tical Section of the British Association. Dr. Taylor's industry and talent, especially during the last half-dozen years, were chiefly displayed in the following publi- cations : Monuments of Ancient and Modern History, 2 vols. ; Romantic Bio- graphy of the Age of Elizabeth, 2 vols., 8vo., 1842 ; History of the Revolutions, Insurrections, and Conspiracies of Eu- rope, 2 vols. 8vo., 1843 ; Translation of Beaumont's Ireland, 2 vols. ; History of the House of Orleans, 3 vols. 8vo., 1849. THE LADY ELIZABETH TDFTON. Her Ladyship, the last of the great house of Tufton, survived her brother, the late Earl of Thanet, a very brief period only. Her death occurred at Clarence- lawn, Dover, on the 16th Sept. Lady Elizabeth was born 2nd May, 1768, and had consequently completed her 81st year. She was the eldest child of Sack- ville, eighth Earl of Thanet, by Mary, his wife, grand-daughter of Lionel Duke of Dorset. EDWARD WARNER, ESQ., COLONEL IN THE ARMY. Edward Warner, Esq., Colonel, on half- pay of the 26th Cameronians, whose death occurred on the 22nd August last, was the eldest son and heir of William Warner, Esq., and grandson of Dr. Joseph Warner, the celebrated founder of Apothecaries Hall, by Mildred, his wife, daughter of Colonel Johns of Wickham, in the county of Kent. Colonel Warner com- menced his career in life in the civil de- partment of the army as Secretary to his uncle, General Sir Adam Williamson, Governor of Jamaica, and accompanied him in that capacity in his expedition to, and conquest of, St. Domingo. In 1798, he entered the army as an Ensign in the 27th Regiment, and subsequently ex- changed to the 10th Hussars, at the special desire of its Colonel, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. In 1803, he was attached to the London Staff, as Aid-de-camp to the late Earl of Harring- ton, and having in 1 804, married Catherine- Jane Mather, the eldest daughter of the late General Sir Charles Shipley, senior Colonel of Engineers and Governor of the Island of Grenada, he served with great credit as Aid-de-camp to that highly distinguished oificer in the reduction of several of the French Colonies, conspicuous for his zeal and bravery, and was among the number of those specially named in the Parliamentary vote of thanks. In 1812, he was promoted to a Major in the 26th Cameronians, and commanded a battalion of that fine Regiment until its reduction at the general peace, when his services were transferred to the Colonial Staff in the West Indies. In 1838, he became a full Colonel, and had nearly arrived at the top of the list at the period of his decease, just previously to which he received the medals and clasps lately awarded as compensations for military services. Colonel Warner was the eldest male representative and lenial descendant of Sir Thomas Warner, Kt., the friend and companion of Sir Walter Raleigh, himself the discoverer of several West India Islands, and the founder of these colonies, for one of which, Dominica, he was ap- pointed Governor for life, by letters patent of King Charles I., immediately after his accession to the throne in 1625, the first which that unfortunate Monarch ever signed. At the execution of the Earl of Essex, in the reign of Elizabeth, Sir Thomas Warner was Lieut, of the Tower, and King James I. bestowed upon him the celebrated Essex ring upon the condi- tion that it should continue as an heir loom in his family where it now remains. Colonel Warner was in his 75th year at the period of his decease, and has left issue an only son, Charles William Warner, Attorney -General of the Island of Trini- dad, who married first Isabella, daughter 10 OBITUARY FOR AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER. of Captain Carmichael, by whom he had issue among other sons and daughters, the late Shipley Warner, Esq., whose melan- choly death at the early age of seventeen, on his march to join his regiment in India, was recently announced ; and secondly, Eose, daughter of Cadiz, Esq., of the Island of Trinidad, by whom he has also issue. And a daughter, Hislop Mary Augusta, married to Milfred Reid, Esq. DIANA ANNE, DOWAGER LADY HAMLYN WILLIAMS. Her ladyship, who died on the 7th inst., aged 84, at Westhow Villa, Norwood, was second daughter of Abraham Wliittaker, Esq., of Stratford, in Essex, and sister of Charlotte, first Countess of Stradbroke, and of Marianne Lady Gooch, of Benacre. Her marriage to the late Sir James Hani- lyn Williams, Bart., of Clovelly Court, Devon, took place on the 22nd July, 1789, and its issue consisted of three sons and three daughters, viz., James, the present Sir James Williams, Bart., of Clovelly ; Charles, Captain, R.N. ; Orlando, in holy orders; Diana; Arabella, married to Chas.

Few families among the untitled aris- tocracy of England has a more ancient or distinguished lineage than that of Weston, which flourished here in Saxon times, and derived its name from Weston, near Spalding, in Lincolnshire. In the reign of Henry I. lived Haylerike de Weston, Saxonicus, and from him lineally descended three brothers, Edmund, John, and William, temp. HENRY VI. ; of whom the 'second, Sir John Weston, was Lord Prior of the Hospital of St. John of Jeru- salem; and the third, Sir William Weston, Knight of Rhodes. Edmund, the eldest son, was father of Sir Richard Weston, Under Treasurer of England, and Master of the Court of Wards and Liveries, who erected in 1521 the splendid mansion of Sutton Place, near Guildford, in which he was succeeded by his son, Sir Francis Weston, K.B., who was put to death for an alleged criminal intercourse with Queeii Anna Boleyn. The last descendant in the direct line, Miss Melior Mary Weston, of Sutton Place, died, unmarried, in 1782, having devised her estates to her kinsman, John Webbe, Esq., who assumed the surname and arms of Weston. He m. twice, and left by his first wife, Elizabeth, only dau. of John Lawson, Esq., two sons, John Joseph Webbe Weston, Esq., of Sutton Place, and Thomas Monington, Esq., of Sarnesfield. The former m. Caroline Graham, niece of Sir James Graham, Bart., of Netherby, and had a son, John Joseph Webbe Weston, the gentleman whose decease we have to record, and three daughters, of whom the youngest, Caroline, is wife of F. Hicks, Esq., of Henrietta Street, Cavendish Square. Thus, representing one of the oldest Catholic families, Mr. Webbe Weston entered, at an early period of life, the sejvice of the Emperor of Austria, in which so many English and Irish Catholics have gained distinction. It would, indeed, form a very interesting chapter of history, to record the achievements of those British subjects, who, on a foreign soil, and in foreign service, have earned military repu- tation. How many gallant soldiers, from the days of the Constable Buchan, have won fame and honours in the land of France ? In Prussia, Field Marshal Keith ranks with her most eminent mili tary commanders; and in Austria the names of Taaffe, O'Reilly, Nugent, and Dormer, have long been associated with the glory of the Imperial armies. Captain Webbe Weston had held for some years the command of a troop in the 3rd Light Dragoons of Austria; and having in the recent Hungarian Cam- paign distinguished himself as a true and fearless soldier, he was appointed Aide- de-Camp to General Count Nugent, at the siege of Comorn, where he fell a victim to cholera. He married, 17th May, 1847, Lady Horatio Elizabeth Walde- grave, sister and co-heir of the late George Edward, seventh Earl Waldegrave. SIR THOMAS BUCKLER LETHBRIDGE, BART. This venerable Baronet, Colonel 2nd Somersetshire Militia, whose death is just announced, was well known in the poli- tical world, and represented the county of Somerset for more than twenty years in parliament. He was born 21st February, 1778, the only son of Sir John Leth- bridge, the first Baronet, of Sandhill, by Dorothea his wife, eldest daughter of William Buckler, Esq., of Boreham, Wilts. The family was one of respecta- bility in Devon, and descended in the female line from Sir William Periam, Chief Baron of the Exchequer temp. Queen Elizabeth. Sir Thomas was twice married. By his first wife, Jessy Catherine, sister of Sir Thomas Dalrymple Hesketh, Bart., of Rufford Hall, he had a daughter, Jessy Catherine, who married Ambrose God- dard, Esq., of Swindon, M.P., and died in 1843 ; and one son, the present Sir John Hesketh Lethbridge, third Baronet. Sir Thomas's second wife was Anne, daughter of Ambrose Goddard, Esq., of Swindon, and by her he had two sons and four daughters. JOHN READE, ESQ., OF IPSDEN HOUSE, OXON. The Reades of Ipsden are a branch of the ancient baronetical family of Reade of Shipton Court, deriving from Edward, next brother of the first Sir Compton c 12 OBITUARY FOE SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER. Reade, and second son of Thomas Reade, Esq. of Barton, by Mary his wife, daugh- ter of Sir Thomas Cornewall, Baron of Burford. Mr. Keade, whose death has just taken place, succeeded to the repre- sentation of the Ipsden line at the decease of his grandfather, John Reade, Esq., in 1777, being then only two years old. He married, 9th February, 1796, Anna Maria, eldest daughter of Major John Scott- Waring, M.P., and had a very numerous issue. Mr. Reade of Ipsden was a Ma- gistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant for Ox- fordshire, and will be long remembered as a kind landlord, a constant friend to the poor, and a most excellent country gentleman. ADMIRAL SIR EDWARD WILLIAM CAMP- BELL RICH OWEN, G.C.B. We regret to hare to add to our obitu- ary the name of this gallant and distin- guished officer, who died on the 8th Oct., at his seat in Surrey. He entered the royal navy llth of August, 1775, being then about fourteen years of age, obtained his Lieutenancy 6th November, 1793, and eventually became Admiral of the White in 1848. His sendees extend in conse- quence, over the most eventful period of our naval annals ; but in our limited space we can only refer to the more important passages in Sir Edward's career. On the renewal of hostilities, after the peace of Amiens, Captain Owen was sta- tioned with several sloops and smaller vessels under his orders, on the coast of France, and, by his activity and zeal, kept the enemy in a constant state of alarm, at one time driving their ships on shore, and at another bombarding the seaboard towns of Dieppe and St. Valery. Subsequently, in 1806, Commodore Owen (the gallant officer had then hoisted a broad pendant) superintended a very successful attack on Boulogne, and in 1 809 accompanied the expedition to the Walcheren, where he gained warm commendation for the ability and energy he displayed in the arduous duties imposed upon him. In 1815 the Commodore was honored with the insig- nia of the Bath, in 1821, appointed a Colonel of Marines, and in 1825 advanced to flag-rank. From 1828 to 1832 he held the chief command on the East India sta- tion, and from 1841 to 1845 that in the Mediterranean. " At the close of the year 1813, Com- modore Owen rendered himself conspi- cuous," [we quote from O'BTRNE'S Naval Biography, ~\ " by his exemplary conduct at the head of a body of seamen and ma- rines landed to co-operate with the Dutch Royalists, in the defence of the island of South Beveland. And at a later period, while in command of the Royal Sovereign yacht, he had the honour of conveying to this country the present Queen Dowager, the Dukes and Duchesses of Kent, Cum- berland, Cambridge, and Hesse Homberg, and the Grand Duke Michael of Russia.'' Sir Edward Owen was M.P. for Sand- wich from 1826 to 1829, became Surveyor- General of the Ordnance in 1827, was a member of the Duke of Clarence's coun- cil, when his Royal Highness was Lord High Admiral, and held office again in 1834, as Clerk of the Ordnance. The deceased Admiral was son of Cap- tain William Owen, R.N., and nephew of Owen Owen, Esq., of Cevn Havod, High Sheriff of Montgomeryshire in 1763; whose sons were the late Sir Arthur Da- vies Owen, Kt., of Glansevern ; the Rev. David Owen, the distinguished scholar, senior-wrangler at Cambridge, in 1777; and William Owen, Esq., of Glansevern, King's Counsel. The family, one of great antiquity in the Principality, derives 'de- scent from the famed Cadivor ap Dynaval, Lord of Castle Howell Sir Edward married, in 1829, Miss Se- lina Hey. CAPT. RICHARD CRETKE, R.N. This amiable and excellent man will be deeply deplored in the neighbourhood where he lived so long, and where his kindness of heart, his high character, and his extensive charities had endeared him to all. He was second son of the late Capt. Richard Creyke, R.N., Commissioner of the Victualling Office, and Governor of the Royal Naval Hospital at Plymouth, and grandson of the Rev. John Creyke, of Burleigh-on-the-Hill, county Rutland, who was a descendant of the ancient Yorkshire family of Creyke of Marton, now represented by RALPH CREYKE, Esq. of Marton and Rawcliffe. Captain Creyke entered the navy in 1800, participated in the battle of St. Domingo in 1806, was present in the operations against Copen- hagen in 1807, and accompanied home in 1808 the Russian fleet which had surren- dered in the Tagus. He 'also took part in the destruction of the French shipping in Basque roads, was employed at the siege of Flushing, and assisted in the cap- ture of La Confiance, with colonial pro- duce on board to the value of 150,000. He obtained Commander's rank in 1812, and was made Post Captain in 1814. The gallant officer married, in 1818, Harriet Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. James Furneaux, of Swilly, in Devon, and has left issue. SIR JOHN DASHWOOD KING, BART., OF WEST WTCOMBE, BUCKS. The decease of this Baronet occurred on the 22nd Oct. He had enjoyed the title nearly fifty -six years, having sue- OBITUARY FOR SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER. 13 ceeded his father, the late Sir John Dash- wood King, in 1793. The first Baronet, Sir Francis Dashwood, M.P. for Win- chelsea, married four times. By his se- cond wife, Lady Mary Fane, daughter of Vere, fourth Earl of Westmoreland, he had a son, Sir Francis Dashwood, Lord le Despencer, in right of his mother, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and after- wards Postmaster General: and by his third wife, Mary, daughter of Major King, he was father of Sir John Dashwood, who assumed the additional surname of King in 1742, and was father of the gen- tleman whose death we record. Sir John married, in 1789, Mary Anne, daughter of the late Theodore Henry Broadhead, Esq., and by her (who died in 1844) has left George Henry, the present Baronet, and other THE HON. SPENCER MILDMAY ST. JOHN. Mr. St. John, connected with the East India Company's Service, from an early age, died at Cawnpore, Bengal, on the 20th August. He was born in 1822, the second son of the present Viscount Bolingbroke, by Maria, his wife, daughter of Sir Henry Paulet St. John Mildmay, Bart. He married, 1st February, 1842, Dora, only daughter of the late Captain Clutterbuck, of the 59th Regiment, and has left issue. The deceased was great- great-grand-nephew of Henry St. John Viscount Bolingbroke, the famous states- man and orator of the reign of Queen Anne. MR. THEOBALD. This gentleman died on the loth Oct., at his residence in Bedford-lane, Stock- well, after an illness of about ten days. There are few connected with the English turf to whom the person and character of Mr. Theobald are unknown. His love of English sports, and particularly horse- racing, his desire to improve the breed of the English racehorse, and his remark- able appearance, have always distinguish- ed him amongst modern English sports- men. In his establishment, as well as by his personal appearance, Mr. Theobald kept up good old English habits, and he was, without exception, as kind a master as ever existed. On each Christmas-day it was his invariable custom to let his ser- vants invite as many friends as they thought proper, whom he would entertain with the best fare that his tradesmen and his wine and ale cellars could supply. His loss will be keenly felt by the poor of the neighbourhood, to whom he was al- ways kind and bountiful. The deceased had attained his 85th year, and has left a large family of children and grandchildren to inherit his immense wealth, amounting, it is said, to upwards of 500,000 ster- ling. Mr. Theobald was formerly in trade in London. SIR WILLIAM PATERSON, K.C.H. Lieutenant-General Sir William Pater- eon, the son of Lieutenant-General Wil- liam Paterson, entered the army in 1786, as an ensign in the 57th Foot, and soon afterwards joined the 21st. He rose, during his very gallant career, through the different gradations of rank, becom- ing a Major-General in 1819, and a Lieu- tenant-General in 1837. Sir William Paterson saw much arduous and glorious service. He was with the 2 1st Regiment at the reduction of the French West In- dies, under Sir Charles Grey. He was employed in Sicily in 1810, and com- manded a brigade at the reduction of Genoa. He subsequently proceeded, with the same brigade, to the Chesapeake, and was present at the battles of Bladensburg and Baltimore. In the attack on the American lines before New Orleans, while gallantly lead- ing his old corps, the 21st, he was se- verely wounded in the shoulder and the knee. By the latter wound he was lame for life, and consequently obliged to re- sign further active sen-ice. On his return to England, the Duke of York appointed him Captain of Carisbrook Castle, an office he held till his death. He was knighted, and made a K.C.H. in 1832. In the published memoirs of the 21st, it is said of Sir William Paterson that no officer of his rank ever passed through the ordeal of a regimental command more universally beloved and respected by all ranks than he did. Sir William died at Brighton on the 26th Sept., aged 82. GERTRUDE LADY BULLER. Gertrude Lady Buller, relict of Vice- Admiral Sir Edward Buller, Bart., of Trenant-park, Cornwall, M.P., died, at Torquay, on the 3rd Oct. Her Ladyship was the fifth daughter of Colonel Philip Van Cortlandt, the representative of a very influential family, which, originally noble in Holland, was established in North America by the Right Hon, Oliver Ste- phen Van Cortlandt, who accompanied, as Secretary to Government, in 1629, the first Dutch Governor sent out by the States General to the Colony of New York. Lady Buller was one of a large family, her parents having had no less than twenty-three children. Her sisters who married were 1 . Mary Ricketts, wife of John M. Anderson, Esq,; 2. Elizabeth, wife of William Taylor, Esq., Lord Chief Justice of Jamaica, and mother of the 14 OBITUARY FOR SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER. present Colonel Pringle Taylor, K.H., of Pennington House, Hants ; 3. Catharine, wife of Dr. William Gourlay, of Kincraig; 4. Margaret Hughes, wife of O. Elliott Elliott, Esq., of Binfield-park, Berks ; 5. Charlotte, wife of General Sir John Fraser; and 6. Sophia Sawyer, wife of Sir William Howe Mulcaster, C.B. Lady Buller had issue by Sir Edward one son, John St. Aubin, who died young, and one daughter, Anna Maria, who mar- ried, in 1824, Lieutenant-Colonel James Drummond Buller Elphinstone, fourth son of the Hon. Fullerton Elphinstone, and died in 1845, leaving several children JOHN PHILIPS LLOYD, ESQ. This gentleman (the eldest son of John William Lloyd, Esq., of Dan-yr-allt, county of Carmarthen, and late of South- park, in Kent) died on the 17th Sept., aged 41. The Lloyds of Dan-yr-allt, a Welsh family of great antiquity, derive in direct descent from Cadivor ap Dyfn- wal, Lord of Castle Ilowel, who lived in the reign of Henry I. of England, and acquired martial renown in an age in which every man capable of bearing arms was bound to be a soldier. In the second year of Henry II. he took, by escalade, the Castle of Cardigan from the Earl of Clare ; and, in requital of his valour, ob- tained from his Prince (the great Lord Rhys of South Wales) a new shield of arms, viz. " Sa. three scaling ladders, and between the two uppermost a spear's head arg. its point imbrued, on a chief gu. a tower triple turretted, of the se- cond." SIR SAMUEL SCOTT, BART. This gentleman, a member of the emi- nent banking firm of Scott and Co., of Cavendish Square, died at Amiens on the 30th September, in the 78th year of his age. He was the only son of the late Sir Claude Scott, Bart., of Lytchet Minster, Dorsetshire, by Martha his wife, only child of John Eyre, Esq., of Step- ney, and succeeded to the title at the de- cease of his father, in 1830. He mar- ried, 4th February, 1796, Anne, only surviving child of John Ommaney, Esq., of Bloomsbury Square, and has left two sons and as many daughters ; the former are the present Sir Claude Edward Scott, Bart., and Samuel Scott, Esq. Sir Samuel has died immensely rich. GEORGE HEXRY WARD, ESQ., OF NORTH- WOOD PARK, ISLE OF WIGHT. The decease of this gentleman, a very considerable landed proprietor, occurred on the 27th September, after a lingering illness, in his 66th year. He was eldest son of the late George Ward, Esq , of Northwood Park, a merchant of great eminence in the city of London, by his wife, Mis? Mary Woodfall, brother of Mr. William Ward,"formerlyM.P. for London, aud nephew of the late distinguished writer, Robert Plumer Ward, the author of "Tremaine." Mr. G. H. Ward mar- ried Mary, daughter of Dr. Saunders, but had no issue. His extensive estates, situated in the Isle of Wight and on the borders of Sussex, devolve on his nephew, the Rev. George William Ward, the pro- ceedings against whom at Oxford, and his secession from the Church, are doubt- less in the memory of our readers. MAJOR-GENERAL FRETCHEVILLE DYKES BALLANTIXE, H.E.I.C.S. This gallant officer, who entered the Hon. East India Company's service in 1797, and attained the rank of Major- General in 1838, died at Richmond, Sur- rey, on the 20th September, aged 65. At the period of his decease, and since 1830, he held the Colonelcy of the 8th Bombay Native Infantry. General Ballantine was brother of the late Joseph D. Ballantine Dykes, Esq., of Dovenby Hall, Cumberland, being second son of Lawson Dykes, Esq., and Jane, his wife, daughter and heiress of John Ballantine, Esq., of Crookdale. The fa- mily of Dykes is stated to have been lo- cated at Dykesfield, in Cumberland, prior to the Norman Conquest. In the Civil War, the then representative, Thomas Dykes, Esq., was eminently distinguished by devotion to the Royal cause, and eventually fell into the hands of the Par- liamentarians, having been discovered concealed amongst the branches of a mul- berry tree in front of his house. Thence he was removed to Cockermouth, and there had an offer made to him that his property should be rest -red if he simply recanted. This proposition the sturdy Cavalier met with a decided negative, adding, " Prius frangitur quam flectitur," a sentiment since adopted as the family motto. He married a lady of the noble house of Fretcheville, and thus intro- duced that name into the family of Dykes, by whom it has been used in every gene- ration since. EDWARD, BISHOP OF LLANDAFF. This learned and estimable Prelate, distinguished alike for his classical attain- ments, his episcopal ability, and his pre- eminently excellent private life, died on Sunday, the 14th October, aged 73. His Lordship was son of the Rev. John Brad - ford Copleston, Prebendary of Exeter, and derived his descent from one of the oldest families in England, There is an OBITUART FOB SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER. 15 old proverbial distich* in Devon, allusive to the antiquity of the name : Croker, Crewys, and Copleston, When the Conqueror came, were at home. His early education he followed under the paternal roof, with such success, that, at the age of 1 5, he was elected a scholar of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and within three years gained the prize for Latin verse, which was then the only prize for which undergraduates could con- tend. In 1795 he became a Fellow of Oriel; in 1797 was appointed College Tutor; and in 1802 had the Professorship of Poetry conferred on him. The sub- stance of the lectures he delivered while filling that chair he subsequently pub- lished, under the title of " Prcelectiones Academicae." In 1814, Dr. Copleston succeeded Dr. Eveleigh, as Provost of Oriel, and not very long after he gave to the world his celebrated work on Pre- destination. In 1826, he was presented to the Deanery of Chester; and, in the following year, became Bishop of Llandaff, and Dean of St. Paul's. The late venerated Bishop was Pro- fessor of ancient Literature to the Royal Academy of Arts ; a governor of the Charter House (since the death of Vis- count Melbourne); a governor of King's College; one of the Ecclesiastical Commis- sioners for England and Wales; a Com- missioner (under the act 58th Geo. III., chap. 45 ), for building additional churches ; Treasurer of *he diocese of Llandaff; a Fellow of the Royal and many other literary religious societies. An important change, with reference to the administra- tion of the affairs of the diocese, will now take place, in conformity with an ar- rangement recently made on the sugges- tion of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The income of the Bishop of Llandaff has not, up to the present time, exceeded 900 per annum, being incomparably . the poorest see in connection with the Established Church. To compensate for this deficiency of stipend, it has been cus- tomary to hold the deanery of St. Paul's Another version, however, of this old tra- ditional rhyme runs thus : " When William the Conqueror did come, Quarme, Cruis, aud Crocker were at home." The Quarme family is said to descend from an ancient British tribe that was never wholly sub- dued, or ruined bv the Homans, Saxons, Danes, or Normans- About the time of the Conquest, the ancestor of the Quarmes of Nancor. in Corn- wall, resided in wealth an 1 honour at his seat in the S'-mth Hams in Devon. The arms of Quarme are " Barry and lozengy. gu. and arg. cjunterchansed." with the bishopric; but this will be no longer the case, as the necessary provi- sions have been made for keeping the two appointments distinct. Dr. Cople- ston's successor in the bishopric will have an income of 4000 per annum secured to him ; while the stipend of the new Dean of St. Paul's will not exceed 2000 per annum, being about 2000 per an- num less than the sum hitherto received by the dean. There is a point in connection with the Bishop of Llandaff's exercise of his pa- tronage, which reflects high honour upon his character, and which is well worthy of imitation in other dioceses. When- ever a living in his gift fell vacant, his Lordship invariably made inquiries for the most hard-working and deserving curate under his episcopal jurisdiction, and to him, on due investigation, he made a practice of presenting the living. We will conclude our brief summary of this distinguished churchman's career in the words of an eminent contempo- rary: "With the close of his career, as the head of a college and a leading mem- ber of the University of Oxford, it may be said that the eventful portion of his life in a great degree terminated. The discretion and sound judgment which he manifested in conducting the affairs of his see and the duties of his deanery, left little that was open to reproach; while his unassuming and unostentatious spirit withdrew much from public observation, that, if openly displayed, must have elicit- ed more praise than ordinarily falls to the lot even of those who fill the highest places in our Established Church. In none of the duties of private life, or of the epis- copal office, was he in any respect defi- cient; and if the next Bishop of Llandaff be fortunate enough to incur as little cen- sure, and deserve as much appi'obation, as Dr. Copleston, he may, indeed, con- gratulate himself upon a successful and blameless career." The Bishop has died unmarried. EDWARD HAWKE LOCKER, ESQ. The death of Edward Hawke Locker, Esq., late Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital occurred on the 16th October. Mr. Locker was in many respects a re- markable man. He was the son of Ad- miral Locker; to whom Nelson, soon after the Battle of the Nile, thus wrote : " You, my old friend, after twenty- seven years' acquaintance, know that nothing can alter my attachment and gratitude to you. I have been your scholar. It is you who taught me to board a French man-of-war by your con- duct when in the Experiment. It is you 16 OBITUARY FOB 8CPTEMBEB AND OCTOBER. who always said, ' Lay a Frenchman closo and you will beat him ; ' and my only merit in my profession is being a good scholar." The son, Edward Hawke, was born at East Mailing, Kent, on the 9th of October, 1777. He was educated at Eton; which he left in 1795, and re- ceived an appointment in the Navy Pay Office. He remained in government offices till 1804, when he went to India as private secretary to Lord Exmouth. From that time till the peace of 1814 he was associated with that distinguished commander in arduous and confidential duties, especially as secretary to the Mediterranean fleet; duties which he discharged with eminent ability. In his official capacity he visited Napoleon at Elba, in May, 1814, of which visit he published an interesting narrative after the death of the ex-emperor. In 1815, Mr. Locker married the daughter of an eminent antiquary and philologist, the Rev. Jonathan Boucher; Mr. Locker resided at Windsor from 1815 to 1819 when he was appointed Secretary to Greenwich Hospital. During his residence at Wind- sor he projected and edited, in concert with Mr. C. Knight, almost the first if not the very first of any literary preten- sion of those cheap and popular mis- cellanies which the growing ability of the great bulk of the people to read" im- peratively demanded in the place of mis- chievous or childish tracts. Mr. Locker's own papers in that miscellany are ex- cellent models of popular writing, plain, energetic, affectionate. His ' Lec- tures on the Bible and Liturgy ' which have been re-printed in a separate volume Lectures delivered to the crew of the Caledonia, Lord Ex- mouth's flag-ship are admirable ex- amples of clear exposition and earnest exhortation. Mr. Locker, after filling for several years the important duties of Sec- retary to Greenwich Hospital, became the Resident Civil Commissioner of that great institution. The improvements which he introduced into its management were results of his active and compre- hensive mind. Of these improvements the Naval Schools are striking instances. Himself an accomplished draughtsman and an ardent lover of the Arts, he founded the Naval Gallery at Greenwich by his judicious exertions. In 1844, Mr. Locker's health so failed that he gave up his valuable appointment and retired upon a small pension his fine faculties over- clouded beyond the hope of recovery. Mr. Locker was the intimate friend of many distinguished men who are still left to us, or who are gone. To use Mr. Lockhart's expression, he was " an old and dear friend of Scott's." With Sou- they he stood in the same relation. His ability was eminently practical his energy was untiring. His zeal for all good objects, and especially for the advancement of education, was founded upon a deep and earnest piety, exhibiting itself in the most unostentatious benevolence in that regulated industry which does so much more than mere alms-giving in the tolerance of other opinions without com- promising his own in the habitual cheer- fulness of a tranquil and hopeful spirit. [For the foregoing particulars we are indebted to the " Athenaeum."] MRS. ORGER. This lady, whose theatrical career was nearly commensurate with her life, was born in London February 25th, 1788, and died on the 6th October last. Her parents were members of a company under the direction of Mr. Thornton, one of the most respectable of the coun- try managers, and although the first record of her performing is the appear- ance of her name in the bills of the New- bury Theatre, when she was but five years old, as the Boy in the Children in the Wood, we believe she had then already played several childish parts. When about nine years old, she sang in concerts at Brighton, and at about a eleven, per- sonated a Gipsy at the celebrated fete given by Queen Charlotte, at Frogmorc. Indeed, her performances before the Court must have been pretty frequent at this time, for she was a member of the Windsor company, and from her clever- ness and interesting appearance was se- lected to perform most of the parts suited to her age in the Windsor Theatre, to which George III. was then in the habit of resorting three times a week, when- ever it was open, during the residence of the Royal Family at the Castle. Miss Ivers continued with Mr. Thornton till, on her marriage, in 1804, with Mr. (now Dr.) Orger she withdrew for a short pe- riod from the stage. Mr. Orger was a member of the Society of Friends, from which, of course, he retired when he married. Mrs. Orger reappeared on the stage at Glasgow in the latter part of 180.5, and continued to perform at various theatres in Scotland, till, having attracted the no- tice of Bannister while playing several parts with him when at G-lasgow, she came in 1808 to London, and was speedily engaged at Drury Lane, where she ap- peared as Lydia Languish, on October the 4th of that year. Mrs. Orger's success in. that character at once placed her in a OBITUARY FOE SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER. IT respectable position on the London stage, and she continued to perform regularly at Drury Lane till 1831. In 1812, she particularly distinguished herself by her performance of Patty Larkins in the " Highgate Tunnel;" and in 1816, in consequence of a dispute between the management of Drury Lane and that of the Lyceum, a correspondence took place between Mrs. Orger and Mr. Douglas Kinnaird, in which the lady had certainly the advantage. Few who saw Mrs. Orger 's performances, at the Olympic, under Mad.Vestris's management, will forget the good-humoured vulgarity of Mrs. Deputy Butts, the purity of her Scotch accent in Prudence Maclntyre, and of her Buck- inghamshire dialect in the personation farce of " P. Q.," her thrilling recognition of her old lover as the Baroness, in " Ask No Questions," nor her inimitable per- sonation of Fanny Pepper, in " Twice Killed." These, with her Mrs. Piminy, in " A Gentleman in Difficulties," Mrs. Brown, in "Kill or Cure," Mrs. Lilly- white, in "Forty and Fifty," and many others, formed a series of personations as distinct in their assumptions of charac- ter as they were finished and effective, so to speak, as works of art. Her last original character was in Mr. Bell's comedy of " Mothers and Daughters,'' and the last part she acted was one she had never played before, and in a line of character she had not previously attempted ; it was Old Lady Lambert, in the " The Hypocrite. This was in 1843, just before the sudden clos- ing of the theatre. Mrs. Orger then ac- cepted an engagement to appear at the Strand Theatre on its opening under the direction of Mr. Maywood; this engage- ment she was prevented by illness from fulfilling, and shortly determined, on the recommendation of her physician, to retire from the profession, which that excellent institution, the Drury Lane Theatrical Fund, to which she had been long a sub- scriber, enabled her to do with comfort. Mrs. Orger was thus allowed that " space betwixt the theatre and the grave," of which Kemble spoke, as so desirable, in the farewell address written for him by Campbell, and continued to enjoy, as far as the somewhat delicate state of her health would permit the society of a numerous circle of friends, by whom she was beloved and respected till her death, which took place at Brighton, from an attack of paralysis, on the first of the present month. Mrs. Orger played, dur- ing a great portion of her career, parts in genteel comedy; but her real success was achieved in broad comedy, and in the higher class of burlesque: in chamber- maids and parts where eccentricity is re- lieved by touches of good feeling and genuine warmth of character, she has rarely been equalled. In private life, Mrs. Orger was, throughout, estima- ble ; she was in the habit of asso- ciating with some of the first literary men of the day, to whom her vivacity, fine taste, her love of literature, and agree- able manners, always rendered her an acceptable companion. She has left one daughter, now Mrs. Keinagle, residing at Oxford, who is well known in the musical circles of London as an ac- complished pianist [This memoir is ex- tracted from the "Literary Gazette."] GENERAL PAREDES. Mariano Paredes, formerly President of the Republic of Mexico, died a short time since in one of the hospitals of the city of Mexico, from illness brought on by inebriation. Though one of the old- est soldiers of his country, and a partici- pant in all the important events since the days of Iturbide, Paredes was almost un- known in the history of Mexico until the revolution of 1840, when the overthrow of Bustamente took place. He was of the number in whom Bustamente placed the utmost reliance, but was among those who first pronounced against him, and was one of the leading spirits of the revo- lution. General Valencia, in his procla- mation of August, 1841, referred to him in connexion with Santa Anna and Cor- tazar, as having planned the whole affair. General Paredes at that time was in com- mand at Queretaro, and Bustamente marched against him, but was obliged to desist, in consequence of the reception of intelligence that Santa Anna was moving to the capital, from the direction of Jalapa and Vera Cruz. Paredes, being very in- fluential in the movement, and the people of Aguas Calientes, Jaliseo, Queretaro, and Zacatecas being in his favour, toge- ther with several other mineral districts, the wealth of whose possessions could only be turned to advantage by the in- troduction of foreign capital, he sought a repeal of those laws which prohibited foreigners from J possessing real estate, and a toleration of religion. He opposed the revolt of Gomez Farias with all his power; but when called upon to assume the executive office, positively refused, and favoured the elevation of Santa Anna. It is supposed that he took this ground from the fact, that if made president he would be liable at any time to be driven into exile; while, if in command of a large military force, he would be able to exert a strong influence, and thereby re- 18 OBITUARY FOR SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER. main in safety. The revolution ceased on October 7, leaving Santa Anna dictator. Paredes was then proposed as minister of war and marine, but that he also declined knowing that the intention was to separate him from the command of his division. In 1844, Santa Anna was declared and in- stalled President of the Eepublic, but before the end of the year he was deposed, and Herrera, the present President of the Republic, took his place. It was Herrera who, seeing the probability of the annex- ation of Texas to the United States, pre- pared to submit to it, and endeavoured to bring the Mexicans to his own opinions. The Hon. John Slidell was then the American minister to Mexico. Paredes opposed the movement, and, jrith 25,000 men at his command, defeated, Santa Anna, who had but 6,000 .men. Santa Anna was banished. After this, Herrera did not long keep possession of the Presi- dency. Paredes pronounced against him and with the aid of Arista, deposed him. The charge he brought against Herrera, was, that he sought, by treating with the United States, a dismemberment of the Mexican confederacy. The troops at San Luis and Monterey advanced to the city of Mexico, when the forces of Herrera sur- rendered, and gave adhesion to Paredes. On June 12, 1845, Paredes was installed President, and on the following day ob- tained permission to take command of the army, leaving the administration of the government in the hands of Vice-President Bravo. When the war broke out with the United States, in May, 1846, Paredes was at the head of affairs. But when Santa Anna was al- lowed to return to Mexico, in August, 1846, Bravo assumed the title of provi- sional president. General Sallas very soon seized Paredes, and confined him in the citadel of Mexico, where he remained un- til the latter part of September, when he escaped, and sought refuge at Havana. He afterwards went to Europe, and sought to place at the head of the Mexi- can government a Spanish or French prince; but in this he was defeated, and forced to seek protection amongst the crowned heads of Europe, for whom he wished to saddle the independence of his country. He returned to Mexico, where he indulged in inebriation until taken to one of the hospitals in the city of Mexico, where he gave himself up to habits of intoxication, and soon fell a victim to excessive drinking. GEORGE EDWARD ANSOX, ESQ. The death of this lamented gentleman oc- curred most suddenly. On Monday morn- ing, 8th Oct., he rose at his accustomed early hour, apparently in the enjoyment of his usual health, but at one o'clock he was seized with a fit, and never afterwards exhibited the least consciousness. In this lethargic state he remained until ten minutes before four, when he breathed his last. He had attended the Queen and Prince Albert throughout their Irish visit ; was in the royal suite at Balmoral; and accompanied her Majesty as far as Derby on her return to Osborne. From Derby, Mr. Anson repaired to Needwood, in Staffordshire, to join Mrs. Anson, and it was there his death took place. The deceased was born 14th May, 1812, the second son of the Very Rev. Frede- rick Anson, D.D., Dean of Chester, by Mary- Anne, his wife, only daughter of the Rev. Richard Levett, of Milford, in Staffordshire. Dean Anson was younger brother of Thomas, Viscount Anson, uncle of the present Earl of Lichfield, and grand-nephew of the famous circumnavi- gator, Admiral Lord Anson. Mr. G. E. Anson was long connected with the court, and held the confidential appointment of Keeper of her Majesty's Privy Purse. He was als? Treasurer of the Household, Cofferer to the Prince of Wales, and a member of the Council for the duchy of Cornwall. He married, 20th October, 1837, the Hon. Georgiana Mary Harbord, eldest daughter of Edward third Lord Suffield. Mr. Anson held during his life, most arduous and responsible positions, and he acquitted himself with a tact and judg- ment that proved the extent of his capa- bilities. The political duties entailed on royalty are performed under the advice and guidance of the constitutional advi- sers of the crown ; but there are onerous af- fairs connected with the domestic circle of her Majesty and of her illustrious consort exacting extreme delicacy and judicious foresight, and Mr. Anson exhibited these qualities, in an eminent degree. His cour- tesy and urbanity in the exercise of his difficult and multifarious functions will be pleasurably recollected by all those who had occasion to hold communication with him. He had the strength of mind to be a faithful and conscientious adviser of the court; and, whilst he was a most devoted and loyal servant, he never forgot what were the true interests of royalty. He was an elegant and accomplished scholar, and was much attached, even in the midst of his heavy duties, to literature and the fine arts. His premature death is a matter of deep regret to men of all shades of poli- tical opinion. 19 OBITUARY. OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. THE EARL OF ALBEMARLE. William Charles Keppel, fourth Earl of Albemarle, Viscount Bury, and Baron of Ashford, in the peerage of England, was the son of G eorge the third Earl. He was born the 14th May, 1772, and succeeded to the peerage when scarcely six months old, on the demise of his father. The youthful Peer had not quite completed his twentieth year, when, on the 9th April, 1792, he married the Hon. Elizabeth Southwell, then in her sixteenth year, the fourth daughter of Edward, twentieth Lord de Clifford. By this lady, who died on the 14th November, 1817, the Karl bad sixteen children. The eighth child of this large family was the amiable and excel- lent Lady Ann Amelia Keppel, who when nineteen years of age, wedded her father's celebrated friend and companion, Thomas William Coke, Esq , the " Coke of Hoik- ham," who, in 1837, was created Earl of Leicester. Mr. Coke was in his seventieth year when he became the husband of lady Anne, yet there never was a union of more affection, or more domestic happiness than theirs. They had nine children; and they terminated their earthly career with but a short space between their deaths. To return to the Earl of Albemarle. His Lordship was one of the stanchest Whigs of the old school, the unswerving friend and adherent of Fox, whose party he supported through all their long years of opposition. In his own county, Nor- folk, Lord Albemarle enjoyed unbounded and unceasing popularity. His prominent part there in all public and social meet- ings, his patronage of agriculture, his overflowing kindness of heart on all occa- sions of appeals made to him, his wit and brilliant powers of conversation, will not soon be forgotten by his fellow-men of Norfolk, or by the numbers of others who knew him to love and revere him. Lord Albemarle, after a happy union of five- and-twenty years, lost his first wife on the 14th November, 1817. He married, sec- ondly, the llth February, 1822, Charlotte Susannah, daughter of the late Sir Henry Hunloke, Bart. His Lordship was Master of the Horse during the reign of William IV., and also for some time during the present reign. Age and iufirmity latterly prevented him taking any further part in public life. His recent death is the subject of unfeigned regret to all. He is succeeded in his honours by his eldest surviving son, Augustus, now fifth Earl of Albemarle. THE E.A.UL OF ALUBOHOUGH. Letters from abroad announce the death of this nobleman (the fifth Farl of his family). His Lordship was born the 8th July. 1784; and married, 2d August, 1 804, Cornelia Jane, eldest daughter of Charles Henry Tandy, Esq., by whom he leaves an only surviving son, Benjamin O'Xeale (now Earl of Aldborough, late a Captain in the 1st Dragoons, who was born' 10th June, 1808. The Stratfords, of whom the house of Aldborough is the head, were established in Ireland by Ro- bert Stratford in 1660. He was one of the original burgesses in the charter con- stituting Baltinglass a borough town, and became afterwards M.P. for the county of Wicklow. His son (Edward Strat- ford, Esq., of Great Belan, county of Kildare) was a stanch supporter of the Revolution, and entertained on one oc- casion King William III. at his seat ia Ireland. He was father of John, first Earl of Aldborough. GEXEFJAL SIR GEORGE ANSON, G.C.B. This gallant officer, one of the distin- guished heroes of he late War, was second son of George Anson, Esq., brother of the first Viscount Anson, and uncle of the present Earl of Lichfield. He was born in 1769, and entered the army, as Cornet of the 16th Light Dragoons, in 1786. His subsequent career comprises the most brilliant period of England's military a lory. He served in Holland under his Royal Highness the Duke of York and SirR Abercromhy, and subsequently ac- quired a very high reputation in the Peninsular war, having served with the great Duke in the campaigns of 1809, 1810, 1811, 1812, and 1813. He com- manded the 16th Light Dragoons at the battle of Oporto, and a brigade of Light Cavalry at Talavera, Busaco, Salamanca, and Vittoria, and received a medal and two clasps for his services, together with the thanks of the House of Commons in d 20 OBITUARY FOB OCTOUtB AXD NOVEMBER. November, 181 6, for his conduct generally. The above is, however, the merest epitome of his gallant affairs with the enemy, in which he earned for himself a high re- putation. In 1827, he had conferred upon him the colonelcy of the 4th Dra- goon Guards; in 1846, was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Chelsea College, and only since May has held the post of Governor, in which, as in all his preceding appointments, he was most universally loved and respected for his noble, just, and charitable bearing. From 1840 to 1846 Sir George acted as Groom of the Bedchamber to Prince Albert, and for many years sat in Parliament for the city of Lichfield. He married in 1800 the daughter of the late J. W. Hamilton, Esq., and sister of Sir F. Hamilton, Bart., who died in 1834, and by whom he had thirteen sons and daughters. The gallant deceased had lost by death within the last few months his son, grandson, and nephew; and from these bereavements and other domestic afflictions he ap- peared to suffer most acutely. WILLIAM ARDEN, LOUD ALVANLEY. His Lordship died on the 9th Nov. in his 61st year. He was the elder son of Richard Pepper Arden, Lord Chief Jus- tice of the Common Pleas, who was ele- vated to the Peerage in 1801, and grand- son of John Arden, Esq., of Arden, in Cheshire, by Mary his wife, sister and heiress of Preston Pepper Esq., of Pep- per Hall, county York. Through his mother, Anne Dorothea, sister of Lord Skelmersdale, he descended from the old families of Wilbraham and Bootlc. Lord Alvanley was formerly in the Army, and attained the rank of Lieutenant- Colonel previously to his retirement from the service. Having died unmarried, ho is succeeded in the title by his brother, the Hon. Richard Pepper Arden, now third Baron, who is married to Arabella, youngest daughter of the late Duke of Cleveland. COLONEL BARKWELL. The death of this distinguished officer, took place at his residence in Windsor- terrace, Glasgow. Colonel Barnwell was long in active service, and passed through most of the Peninsular campaigns under the Duke of Wellington. For his services there, he received a madal with no fewer than thirteen clasps. Latterly he com- manded the 9th Foot, which he left to fill the post of inspecting field officer at Glasgow. CAPTAIN RICHARD BASSET, ESQ., R.A. OF BEAUPRE, CO. GLAMORGAN'. The death of Captain Basset occurred at his seat, Beaupre", Glamorganshire, on the 8th Nov. He was the representative of one of the most eminent families in the empire, descended in a direct line from Thurstine de Basset, the Nor- man, who accompanied William the Con- queror, as his grand falconer, to Eng- land, and whose name is inscribed on the film >us Roll of Battle Abbey. The Nor- man's son, Sir John Basset, Kt., was Chancellor and Vice-Comes in Glamor- ganshire to Robert Fitzhamon, from whom lie received a grant of the Lordship of St. Hilary, wherein Beaupre is situated. Captain Basset, whose decease we record, was elder son of the late Lieutenant- Colonel Thomas Basset, sometime Gover- nor of the Military Knights of Windsor, by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of the late Alexander Cruikshanks, Esq. He was born 6th December, 1797, and entered the Roy d Artillery as Second Lieutenant llth Dec. 1815.

LIEUT. COL. JOHN BROWNE. This gallant officer expired at his seat, Breaffy Park, county of Mayo, after a few days' illness. Colonel Browne entered the 4th (or King 5 Own) in the year 1803, as Ensign, and served throughout the Pe- ninsula war with that regiment ; he was several times wounded, once at Badajoz by the bursting of a shell, and afterwards at Waterloo, a bullet striking him in the head, and he being left for dead on tha field ; several pieces of his skull exfoliated, but lie eventually recovered. For both these wounds he received pensions. After the termination ofthe war, Colonel Browne received his majority in the 92nd High- landers, and did duty with that regiment in Jamaica. He finally exchanged into the 98th, and received his brevet rank on the last general occasion. Colonel Browne was nephew ofthe late Sir John Browne, Bart.,and derived descent from Dominick Browne, Esq. of Breaffy, third son of Sir John Browne, Bart., of the Neale. and younger brother of the ancestors of Lord Kilmaine. and the Marquess of Sligo. Col. Browne was an active magistrate of his native county. WILLIAM BURGE, ESQ., Q.C. This gentleman was called to the En- glish bar by the honourable society of the Inier Temple, in Easter Term, 1808, and was at one period in the enjoyment of a very extensive practice, more particularly OBITUARY FOB OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. 21 as an advocate before the Judicial Com- mittee of the Privy Council in Colonial Matters. He was also the author of some successful legal works ; his principal pro- duction was his " Commentaries on Co- lonial and Foreign Laws, in their conflict with each other, and with the law of England," a very able book. About three years ago Mr. Burge received the ap- pointment of aCommissioner of Bankrupts for the Leeds district. He was, unfortu- nately, obliged to retire from this office, owing to pecuniary embarrassments. Mr. Burge was made a Queen's council, and was also a bencher of the Inner Temple, and as such he took an active part in effecting the present magnificent restoration of the Temple Church. He died after a long illness, on the 12th, Nov. at his residence, York-street, Gloucester- place. He was, at the time, in the sixty- fourth year of his age. GEORGE TALBOT, LORD DTNEVOR. His Lordship, who, at the period of his decease had attained his 84th year, was elder son of George Rice. Esq., of New- ton, M.P. for Carmarthenshire a de- scendant of the famed Sir Elidir Dolu, Knight of the Sepulchre in the time of Kichard Cceur de Lion, and thus repre- sented one of the most eminent of the Welsh families. The peerage of Dynevor he inherited through his mother, Cecil, late Baroness in her own right. The title was originally conferred on her Ladyship's father, William, 1st Earl Talbot, who. having no surviving male issue, sought and obtained a Peerage, with limitation to his daughter, and her male descendants. Lord Dynevor, whose death we record, was born in 1765, and married in 1791, Frances, daughter of Thomas Viscount Sidney, by whom he leaves six daughters, all unmarried, and one surviving son, The Hon. George-Rice Rice Trevor, (now 4th Lord Dynevor), who has long repre- sented Carmarthenshire in Parliament, and is Lieut. -Col. Commandant of the County Militia. He married in 1824 Frances, daughter of LordCharles Fitzroy, and has four daughters, of whom the eldest, Frances-Emily, married in 1848, Edward Ffolliott Wingfield, Esq., cousin of Lord Powerscourt. WILLIAM ETTV, ESQ., R.A. This great modern painter was born at York, on the 10th of March, 1787. Like Rembrandt and Constable, he was a mil- ler's son, and made his first sketches with chalk upon the mill floor. He served an apprenticeship of seven years to Mr. Peck, a printer at Hull, but when freed from this thraldom, he came to London, and devoted himself to an artist's life, under the fostering and liberal patronage of a mercantile city firm, Messrs. Bodley, Etty (the painter's uncle), and Bodley. Young Etty then entered the Royal Academy, and" became a pupil of Sir Thomas Law- rence. After years of untiring industry and perseverance, Etty's talents became of note in the Academy, and attracted public at- tention. He obtained much praise for his picture of " Cleopatra,'' which induced him to still further cultivate his genius ; and he consequently travelled and studied in Rome, Florence, Naples and France. He returned to England in 1824, the finished and exquisitely graceful painter he has since been. To enumerate his works is needless, as the greater portion are of such recent exhibition in London; and who, indeed, is not familiar with those splendid specimens of the human figure, those charming delineations of female beauty, which, however startling to the more modestly sensitive, never failed to attract and delight? The life of Etty was one course of devo- tion to his admirable art ; and we were happy to hear from himself that it also was to him a source of almost unalloyed happiness. Mr. Etty died on the 14th hist., in his native town of York, leaving a name of lasting memory among the painters of England. In his recent autobiography, Etty thus eloquently sums up and defends his own cause : " Like many other men, my character has been much misunderstood by some not a few because I have preferred paint- ing the unsophisticated human form divine, male and female, in preference to the pro- duction of the loom; or, in plainer terms, preferred painting from the glorious works of God, to draperies, the works of man. 1 have been accused of being a shocking and immoral man! I have even heard my bodily infirmities brought on in a great measure by my ardent devotion to my art, and studying in hot rooms in life acade- mies turned against me; and, unac- quainted with my temperate habits, been accused of drinking. I confess my sin: I am fond of drinking; but only a harm- less beverage tea. And I certainly venerate the memory of the man, be he who he may. who invented tea; ai.d any who thus calumniate me I forgive, and only ask them to examine my life. That I have had errors and failings too many, I know, and trust to the goodness of God to forgive ; but it is a duty I owe to myself to state, what I do with sincer- ity, that, in whatever station I found myself thrown, whether printer's devil, or 22 OBITUARY FOR OCTOBKR AND NOVEMBER. royal academician, my honest endeavour has been to do my duty in it to the best of my power; a principle I can with con- fidence recommend to all who may come after me, and one which they will never regret to look back upon." SIR CIIAHLES FORBES, BART., OF EDIN- GLA8S1E. This respected gentleman died on the 20th Nov. at his residence in Fitzroy- square, aged 76. He was the son of the Rev. John Forbes, of Lochell, by Katha- rine his wife only daughter of Gordon Stewart, Esq., of Irmeroury, and derived his descent from a younger branch of the old Scottish house of Forbes, of Pitsligo. He married, 28th February, 1800, Eli- zabeth, daughter of Major John Cot- grave, E.I.C.S., and had four sons and one daughter. The eldest of the former (John Forbes, Esq.) died in his father's life-time, leaving, with other issue, a son, now Sir Charles Forbes, second Baronet, born 1832. Sir Charles was, for more than 40 years head of the first mercantile and financial house in India, that of Forbes and Co., of Bombay, and his name stood in the high- est repute in the commercial world for ability, foresight, and rectitude of charac- ter. The title of Baronet was conferred on him in 1823. As a member of the House of Commons for full 20 years he enjoyed the respect and esteem of men of all parties, for his love of justice, his kindly feelings towards the suffering or oppressed, and for the plain, straightforward honesty with which his opinions were expressed and his votes invariably given. A Tory in the strictest sense of the word, he never al- lowed his political creed to cloud his fine judgment and keen sense of right and wrong, and his manly spirit was readily engaged in favour of the poor, weak, or persecuted. Connected from early youth with India, and devoted to the welfare of its people, from principle as well as from feeling, every faculty of his nature was enlisted in behalf of a country where he had spent the happiest years of his life and in which a large portion of his noble fortune had been most honourably ac- quired. In Parliament, and in the pro- prietor's court of the East India Com- pany, his advocacy of " justice for India" was ardeiit, untiring, uncompromising, and regardless of all personal considera- tions but the rights of the people of his adoption. And well they appreciated such devoted attachment. From one end of Hindostan to the other by the Par- see, the Hindoo, the Moslem, by men of all creeds and ranks his name was be- loved, and his character deeply rever- enced. On retiring from India he was presented by the natives with a magnifi- cent service of plate, and 27 years after his departure from Bombay a large sum of money (about 9,000 ) was subscribed for the erection of a statue to their friend and benefactor the first instance on record of the people of India raising a statue to any one unconnected with the civil or military service of the country. CHAIiLES GORING. ESQ., OF WISTON PARK, SUSSEX. A vacancy has been created in the re- presentation of the borough of Shoreham by the death of this gentleman, which melancholy event, the result of typhus fever, occurred on the 18th Nov. at VVis- ton Park. He had been suffering for some considerable time from the attack, but of late appeared to be recovering. A relapse, however, came on suddenly, and terminated fatally. The Hon. gentleman, who was born in 1817, and had, consequently, only reach- ed his thirty-second year, was cousin of the present Sir Harry Dent Goring, Bart., being descended from the second mar- riage of Sir Charles Mathews Goring, the fourth Baronet, with Elizabeth, sister, and eventually, heiress, of Sir Robert Fagg, Bart., of "Wiston. He succeeded the present Sir Harry Goring, as M.P. for Shoreham, twice defeating Lord Edward Howard; and while in the House of Com- mons, acted and voted with the Protec- tionist party. LADY AMELIA LISTER-KATE. Lady Amelia Kaye died on the 29th Oct. at her residence, No. 11, Upper- Harley-street, aged 70. Her Ladyship, the sixth daughter of George Harry Grey, Karl of Stamford and VVarrington, by the Lady Henrietta his wife, daughter of William, second Duke of Portland, derived her descent from Henry Lord Grey of Groby, nephew of the ill-fated Duke of Suffolk, father of Lady Jane Grey. She was born July 7, 1779, and man-led, October 18, 1800, Sir John Lis- ter- Kaye, Baronet, of Denby Grange, county York, who died 28th of February, 1827. Their issue consisted of four sons and five daughters, the eldest of the for- mer being the present Sir John-Lister Lister-Kaye, Baronet. LADY CHARLOTTE LINDSAY. This accomplished and highly gifted lady was the last surviving child of the celebrated statesman, Lord North, and inherited no small share of her father's playful and ready wit. In the best and most intellectual society, Lady Charlotte Lindsay was extensively known for her OBITUARY FOR OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. 23 kind disposition, her amiable manners, and her fascinating conversation. The only literary performance of her pen which has been given to the public is a beautiful letter, descriptive of her father's character, which appears in Lurd Brough- am's " Lives of the Statesmen " Lady Charlotte was attached to the household of Caroline. Princess of Wales, and, by her testimony at the House of Lords, dissipated some of the calumnies directed against her Royal mistress. The family of North, from which she descended, was founded by Edward North, an eminent lawyer of the re'gn of Henry VIII., and has been since pre-eminently distin- guished for the illustrious men it has produced. Lady Charlotte was born in December, 1770, aad married 2d April, 1800, the Hon. Colonel John Lindsay, son of the fifth Earl of Balcarres, by whom she was left a widow, without issue, in 1826.

Sir Charles is married to the eldest daughter of Leo- nard Horner. THE LORD TALBOT DE MALAHIDE. Richard- Wogan, Lord Talbotde Mala- hide, died at his ancient bironial resi- dence, near Dublin. His Lordship, the heir male of the distinguised house of Talbot of Malahide, and heir general of the famous Richard Talbot, Duke of Tyrconuel, succeeded to the Irish Barony at the decease of his mother, in 1834, and was created a Peer of the United King- dom, as Baron Fin-nival, in 1839. At the period of his decease he had comple- ted his 83rd year. He was twice mar- ried: first, in 1789, to Catherine, daugh- ter and heir of John Malpas, Esq., of Rochestovvn, co. Dublin; and, secondly, to Margaret, daughter of Andrew Sayers, Esq. By the former he had one son, John Malpas, who died unmarried in 1828; and one daughter. Catherine Fran- ces, who married in 1809 Lieu'cnant- General Sir William Cormvallis Eustace, C.B., of Saudfjrd Hail, Ess.x, and died in 1816, leaving issue.

The deceased entered the army in 1809, and received the rank of Major in 18:37. In 1839 he was placed on half-pay. Maj or Meade was a member of an old Limerick family, which has given many gallant soldiers to our army.

In 1813 he was connected with the Hanoverian army, and served on the staff of General Count Walmoden, in 1813, at the actions of Hasdo;-f, in Mecklenburg, and Goevell, in Hanovor.

In 1814 he served in the Holland campaign, and was at the attack on Merxern, the bombardment of Antwerp, and attack on Bergen-op-Zoom. Major Meade's loss will be much felt in the department to which in latter years he was attached. DENIS CREAGH MOYLAN, ESQ. This gentleman, son of the late Denis Moylan, i.sq., of the City of Cork, by Anne, his wife, daughter of Patrick Creagh, Esq., was called to the bar by the Hon.

The family into which she married has long been settled in high repute and consideration in the West Indies, and was originally a branch of the ancient house of Ottley, of Pitchford. AVILLIAM MOSTYN OWEN, ESQ., OF WOOD- HOUSE, COUNTY SALOP. The death of Mr. Owen occurred on the 17th Nov. The venerable gentleman, who had attained his 79th year, repre- sented the Bryngwyn branch of the ancient family of Mostyn of Mostyn, and was, in the female line, a descendant of that of Owen of Woodhouse, which sprang from a common ancestor with the houses of Owen of Llunllo, Bettws, Tedsmore, and Condover, being all of the Tribe of Edwin ap Grono, Lord of Tegaingl , a famous Welsh Chieftain. Mr. Mostyn Owen's father, the late William Mostyn, 'Esq., of Bryngwyn, M.P. for Montgomeryshire, assumed the surname of Owen, on suc- ceeding to the Woodhouse estate. He married Rebecca, sister of Thomas Crewe Dod, Esq., of Edge, in Cheshire, and died in 1795, leaving two sous, William, the gentleman whose decease we record ; and Edward Henry, Rector of Cound, besides six daughters one of whom, Frances Mary, married Richard Noel, Lord Ber- wick; and another, Harriet, was the wife of John Mytton, Esq., of Halston. The late Mr. Mostyn Owen, of Wood- house, married Harriet Eli/abeth, eldest daughter of Major T. Gumming, of Bath, and has left several children : Frances, the second daughter is the wife of Robert Myddelton Biddulph, Esq., of Chirk Cas- tle, County Denbigh. REAR-ADMIRAL SIR SAMUEL JOHN BROOKE-PECHEL, BART., C.B., K.C.H. This worthy Baronet and gallnnt naval officer died on the the 3rd Nov. at his residence in Hill-street, Berkeley- square, aged sixty-four. He was the eldest son of the late Major-General Sir Thomas Brooke-Pechell, Bart., M.P., by Charlotte his wife, daughter of General Sir John Clavering, K.B., Commander-in-Chief in India; and grandson of Lieutenant-Colo- nel Paul Pechell, the descendant of an ancient French family raised to the de- gree of Baronet in 1797. He entered the Royal Navy in July, 1796, and assisted in several captures of enemy's frigates. He was made Post-Captain in 1808; and in the Cleopatra, fought, on the 22nd Jan., 1809, a severe and brilliant action with the French ship La Topaze. In 1846 he obtained flag rank. From 1832 to 1835 he represented Windsor in Par- liament ; and held office as a Lord of the Admiralty previously to 1841. He was also Naval Aide-de-Camp to the Queen. Sir John married, in 1833, the Hon. Julia Maria Petre, daughter of Robert Edward, ninth Lord Petre, and was left a widower in 1844. The Baronetcy devolves on the deceased Admiral's bro- ther, Captain George Richard Pechell, R.N., M.P. for Brighton GEORGE WELLEK POLEY, ESQ., OF BOXTED HALL, SUFFOLK. The family of Poley of high considera- tion and large landed estate is of re- mote antiquity in the county of Suffolk, where it has been seated since the reign of Edward III. One of its members, Sir John Poley, of Wrongey, was knight- ed for his services against the Spaniards under the I Hike of Parma, and was made Colonel-General over 4000 Foot Pere- grine Lord Willoughhy being General for the King of Denmark. Sir John's monument is still to be seen in Boxted Church, with his statue standing upright in armour. It is remarkable for having a gold frog suspended from the left ear, a singular ornament, also depicted in Sir John Poley's portrait, at Boxted Hall. The late George Weller Poiey, Esq., was born 1st Nov. 1783; succeeded to the estates, upon the demise of his father, in 1799; and married, in 1808, Helen Sophia, daughter of James Fisher, Esq., of Brownston Hall, by whom he leaves a large family the youngest daughter, Frances, being the wife of the present Sir Richard Get bin, Bart. THE REV. EDWARD SEROCOLD PEARCE SEBOCOLD, OF CHERRYH1NTON, CO. CAMBRIDGE. This gentleman died at Great Malvern, on the 21st of November, aged 53. He was the only son of the late Very Rev. Win. Pearce, D.D., Dean of Ely, by Anne his wife, eldest daughter and eventual co-heir of the Rev. Walter Serocold, of Cherry hinton, the representative of a very ancient family, thirteen descents of which are recorded in St. George's Visitation of London, in 1623. Mr. Pearce Serocold (the latter surname he took by Royal licence in 1842) married first, 30th Oct.. 1824, Georgiana Elizabeth, daughter of George Smith, Esq. (brother OB1TUART FOB OCTOUliK AND NOVEMBER. 25 of Robert, First Lord Carrington) and had by her three surviving suns. He married secondly, 4th Aug., 1842, Charlotte Elea- nor, daughter of Colonel Arthur Vansit- tart of Shottesbrook, and had further issue by her. He was a magistrate for Cam- bridgeshire. JAMES STUART, ESQ. This gentleman, of well-known political fame, was the eldest son of the late Rev. Dr. Charles Stuart, and derived in direct descent from the Hon. Archibald Stuart, 4th son of the fourth Earl of Moray. He was bred to the profession of the law, and became a Writer to the Signet in 1798. He had excellent talents for business, and had he given it due attention, he would most probably have attained high distinc- tion in his profession ; but, having in- herited a respectable property in the co. of Fife, he became attached to agricultural pursuits, and these, with his duties as country gentleman and magistrate, and the political engagements into which he entered with the utmost warmth, speedily engrossed by far the greater portion of h:s time and attention. He was a zealous and an uncompromising Whig. No man ever existed more completely devoted to his party, or more disposed to make every possible exertion and sacrifice to promote its objects. Hence, he naturally became an object of hostility to the opposite party, and hence, in consequence of some at- tack made upon him, his fata) duel with Sir Alexander Boswell. in which Sir .Yiex. expiated what he wrote, by his death. His business necessarily suffered by these continuous distractions; and his means were crippled partly and principal- ly, by the expences in which they involved him, and partly by his t.o generous hos- pitality. Being of an extremely sanguine disposition, he attempted to r- pair his for- tune by speculating in land; but the crash of 1825 proved fatal to his schemes, and involved him in embarrassments by which he was overwhelmed. As he had done nothing dishonourable, he might easily have settled with his creditors; but his feelings would not allow him to face them, and he took the rash and unfortunate re- solution of retreating to America. On his return, he obtained hi.5 discharge, but he lost the situations he had held in Edin- burgh, which he might have retained had he not left Scotland. After his return Mr. Stuart became the editor of the Courier, and gave in this ca - pacity every support in his power to the Whig party. He was appointed by Lord Melbourne to the situation of Factory In- spector, which he held till his death ; and it redounds much to his credit that in this difficult position he conducted himself so as to acquire the esteem not merely of the manufacturers, but of the great majority of the workmen. Mr. Stuart was robust, active, and sin- gularly cap.ible of bearing fatigue. He died in his seventy-fourth year, of a disease of the heart, most probably induced by the excitement in which he passed the greater part of his life. He had married in 1802, Eleanor-Mary-Anne, only daughter of Robert Moubray, Esq. of Cockairny. LIEUT.-COL. ROBERT LA TOUCHE, The death of this gentleman, Lieut.- Col. of the Carlow Militia, and for many years M.P. for Carlow, occurred in Lowndes Square, on the 19th of No- vember. Col. La Touch e was fifth son of the Right Honourable David La Touche of Marlay, county Dublin, M.P. by Eli- zabeth, his wife, daughter of George Marlay, D D., Bishop of Dromore, and was thus, throngh his mother, nearly related to the Right Honourable Henry Grattan. The family of La Touche was established in Ireland by David Digues de la Touche, a Huguenot, who settled in that kingdom after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. He was fourth son of a noble Protestant family of the Blesois, which possessed considerable estates between Blois and Orleans. GENERAL SIR JOHN ORMSBT VANDELEUR, G.C.B., COLONEL OF THE 16TH LANCERS. This month's obituary presents a me- lancholy list of deaths among the gallant veterans of the late war. Vandcleur, An- son, Whitshed, and Pcchell have all died. The decease of Sir John Vandeleur, took place in Dublin on the 1st Nov. The gal- lant officer was son of the late Richard Vandeleur, Esq., of Rutland, in the Queen's County, Captain in the 9th Lancers, who was third son of John Vandcleur, Esq., of Kilrush, county Clare, by Frances his wife, daughter of John Ormsby, Esq., of Cloghans, ci unity Mayo. Sir John was born in 1 763. He entered the army, as Ensign, in 1781, but soon changed to a horse regiment, and became eventually one of our most emi- nent cavalry officers, having served in eleven campaigns under the Duke of York, in Flanders; Lord Lake, in India; and the Duke of Wellington, in Spain and France. As Lieutenant-Colonel of the 8th Light Dragoons, he served with the local rank of Colonel in command of a brigade of cavalry, in Hindostan. At the battle of Laswarfee, on the 1st of Novem- ber, 1803, his brigade turned the enemy's left flank, and took 2000 prisoners, tor which he received Lord Lake's thanks. In November, 1804, he was again similarly 26 OBITUARY FOR UCTOBKK AMD NOVKMItKR. honoured for the cavalry affair at Futty Gliur, where the Mahratta chief Holkar was surprised and defeated. At the con- clusion of the war, Sir John Vandeleur returned to Europe, and in 1811 was placed on the staff of the army in the Peninsula, as Major General. He commanded a brigade of the light division of infantry, and was wounded while leading a division to the breach of Ciudad Rodrigo, in Jan- uary, 1812, after Major General Crawford had fallen. The wound prevented Van- deleur being present at the siege of Bada- joz; but he participated with the Light Division in the Battles of Salamanca and V ttoria. A few days before the latter, his brigade was so fortunate as to intercept and cut off a French force, taking 300 prisoners, and driving the remainder to the mountains. He was subsequently appointed to command a brigade of Light Dragoons attached to the column under Lord Lynedoch, and afterwards under Lord Niddry, and shared in all its operations. He served at Waterloo, and afterward commanded the whole of the British cavalry, from the time that the Marquis of Anglesey was wounded till Louis XVI II. entered Paris. Sir John married, in 1829, Miss Glasse, daughter of the Rev. John Glasse, and has left one son and one daughter the latter married to Colonel Greaves, Mili- tary Secretary in Ireland. Sir John's grand-nephew, John Vandeleur, who also served with distinction at Waterloo, and was severely wounded at Fuentes d'Onor, is now Lieutenant Colonel, commanding the 10th Royal Hussars. ADMIRAL WHITSHED. Sir James Hawkins Whitshed, G.C.B., Bart., of Killiticarrick, county Wicklow, and Jobstown, county Dublin, was the third son of Dr. James Hawkins,* Bishop of Raphoe, and assumed his maternal grandmother's name of Whitshed in 1791 ; he entered the navy in 1773, and, after a glorious career, attained the rank of ad- miral of the Red in 1810, and became Admiral of the Fleet the 8th January, 1844. The long detail of his deeds of prowess and fame occupies considerable space in O'Bryne's " Naval Biography," telling, among other things, of his receiving a gold medal and the thanks of Parlia- ment for his share in the triumphant struggle off St. Vincent. Dr. Hawkins, Bishop of Raphoe, was son of John Hawkins, Ulster, King of Arms, and grand- son of William Hawkins, who also held the same appointment. Sir James Hawkins Whitshed married December 11, 1791, Sophia Henrietta, daughter of Captain John Albert Ben- tinck, R.N. (the inventor of chain pumps, who died in command of the Centaur, 74, in 1775). By that lady, a great-grand- daughter of the first Earl of Portland, he had issue two sons and four daughters. His eldest son, James Bentinck Hawkins Whitshed, was killed when a midshipman of the Berwick, 74, Captain Edward Brace, in a gallant boat affair in the Mediterra- nean, December 11, 1813. The surviving issue of Sir James are a son and a daugh- ter 1. St. Vincent Keene (his successor in the baronetcy), who married, the 1st May, 1831, Elizabeth, sixth daughter of David Montagu, Lord Erskine, and has issue, James, R.N , born 3rd March, 1834, St. Vincent, born 12th February, 1837, and two daughters, Elizabeth and Renisa. 2. Ren sa Charlotte, who was married, 10th March, 1829, to Colonel Henry John William Bentinck, of the Coldstream Guards. The gallant Admiral died on the 29th Oct., at his residence, Cavendish- square, in the 89th year of his age. HENRY W1LLOUGHBY, ESQ., OF BIKDSALL HOUSE, co. YORK. The death of this gentleman, the heir presumptive of the present Lord Middle- ton, occured on the 18th Nov. in his 70th year. He WHS son and heir of the late Rev. James Willoughby, Rector of Guise- ley, co. York, and grandson of the Hon. Thomas Willoughby, (second son of the first Lord Middleton), by Elizabeth his wife, daughter and heiress of Thomas Southby, Esq., of Birdsall. He married, 20th June, 1815, Charlotte, eldest daugh- ter of the Venerable Archdeacon John Eyre, and had by her, who died 20th Sept. 1845, four sons and three daughters. Mr. Willoughby sat for several years in parliament. LIEUT. COL. CHARLES WRIGHT, K.H. Colonel Wright died on the 16th Nov. at his residence, Winton, in Hampshire. He was one of the gentlemen ushers to Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, and was for many years on the staff of the Royal Mili- tary-college at Sandhurst. He entered the army in 1807, with the advanced rank of captain, never having occupied any lower grade, and was promoted to the rank of lieut. -colonel in 1837. Lieut.- Colonel Wright, was subsequently decora- ted with the order of Knight of the Royal Hanoverian Guclphic order. OBITUARY. NOVEMBER AXD DECEMBER, II. >f. ADELAIDE, QUEEX DOWAGER. IN recording the death of Queen Ade- laide, it is no less useful to the living than honourable to the dead, tuat we should pay a brief tribute to her many merits. The highest bribe that mankind' at large can offer to those in exalted station to do good, and make a benevolent use of the power with which fortune has gifted them is name and fame when they shall be no more. This at first sight may appear little enough, since the deceased is re- moved beyond the reach of praise or cen- sure, but constant experience shews us that the worst and best are equally desirous that their memory shall stand well with the living world; even the felon on the scaffold is in most cases anxious to deny or palliate his crimes, that lie may not die amidst the public execration It is good therefore that departed virtue should have its tomb strewed with flowers, if it were only that in so doing we are holding out the strongest inducements to tread in the same footsteps. So retired has the life of Queen Ade- laide been for several years that her ex s- tence has been known beyond her imme- diate circle only by her bounties and be- nefactions. If her income has been liberal her charity has not been less so; it has benefited thousands, nor has this kindli- ness of feeling had any drawback in her case, as too often happens, by great and peculiar failings. As a wife, and as a woman a still more comprehensive term her conduct was not only wholly free from fault, but such as justly to en lear her to all who came within the sphere of her influence; and her memory will be long and universally revered. The biography of this excellent woman may be told in few words, for though in the highest station her course of life in every respect resembled that of a private individual. Amelia Adelaide Louisa Theresa Caro- line was the eldest daughter of George Frederick Charles, Duke of Saxe Cobourg Mciningen, by Louisa Eleonora, dau. of Christian Albert Louis, Prince of Hohenloe Langcnburg. She was born on the 18th day of August, 1792, and by the early death of her father, was left when very young to the care of the duchess dowager who, in virtue of the duke's last will, had been made regent, and been entrusted with the guardianship ofhis children. A happier place than the little court of Meiningcn, for the education of a young princess could not have been found any where; from its seclusion and total in- significance in the political scale, as well as from the good sense and excellent in- clinations of the regent, it had altogether escaped the contagion of the French revo- lution; if it wanted the brilliance of other courts, it had the greater merit of being free from their vices; and the natural dis- position of the youthful princess being admirably adapted to the moral climate in which fortune had placed her, she might well be compared to the flower, which beautiful in itself, is rendered yet more lovely and graceful by its being planted in a congenial climate. The death of the Princess Charlotte in 1817, made it requisite for the princes of the blood royal in England, who had hitherto remained single, to enter into the married state. Their choice, how- ever, was necessarily confined by the national religion, to a very limited sphere ; most of the foreign rulers ad- hered to the Catholic faith, the Protestant doctrines being professed only at the Courts of least political importance. It might, therefore, be called a choice without a choice; and yet had William, then duke of Clarence, been allowed the whole range of Europe, from which to make his election, he could not have chosen a more amiable and virtuous bride, or one more calculated to ensure his domestic happiness. The marriage having been agreed upon by those who alone had a right to dictate in the matter, the Duchess Dowager of Saxe Meiningen came over to England with her daughter, Adelaide, and a short time afterwards, on the llth of July, 1818, the ceremony took place in the palace of Kew, the Archbishop of Canterbury officiating, and the Prince Regent giving away the bride. In a few days the Duke and Duchess left England for Hanover, where they passed the winter of 1818, and the spring of 1819. While here, her Royal 28 OBITUARY FOR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. Highness prematurely bore a female child, who was christened on the day of her birth, but died in a very short time, and was buried in the royal vault at, Hanover. This event had so shaken the health of the mother, that by the advice of her physicians, she proceeded for change of air to Meiningeu, visiting Gottingen and Hesse Philipstlial, by the way, and being accompan'ed by the 1 )uke, whose plain frank manners seem to have won for him gulden opinions amongst the Germans. In October 1819, the Duke and Duchess returned to Eng'and, and in the winter of the same year Adelaide gave birth to a princess, who to all appear- ance, seemed fated to live, and one day wear the crown of England. At the express desire of George the Fourth, she was christened Elizabeth, a proud name in English annals ; but this blos- som, like the former, was nipt almost as soon as it began to shew itself. It perished about the third month. For some years the Duke and Duchess had spent the greater part of their time in travelling abroad; but in 1826 they took to residing permanently at Bushy. In 1827, William became presumptive heir to the British throne, by the demise of his elder brother, the Duke of York; and in 1830, the death of George the Fourth actually raised, him to the dig- nity of King of Great Britain. He was not, however, crowned until the September of 1831; and, after a short reign of six years, he died in 1837, in full possession of his senses to the last, and apparently without a struggle. The Queen Dowager now came to the possession of the parliamentary grant 100,000 per annum for lift, with Marl borough House and Bushy Park for her places of residence. But her health, which would seem to have never been very good, being injured probably by late events, she was ordered by her ] hysicians to Malta, where she left a lasting memorial of her benevolence in the church which she caused to be erected. In May 1839 she returned once again to England, made from time to time vari- ous excursions through the country, and in 1847, visited Madeira, landing at Por- tugal in her way thither. On the 2nd <-f December, 1849, this illustrious princess died in the 58th year of her age, at Stan- more Priory, at seven minutes before two o'clock on Sunday morning, after a pain- ful and protracted illness. The body was deposited with the usual ceremonies in St. George's Chapel, Windsor, on Thursday, December 13th, 1849. Brief as this account has of necessity been, we have only space to add a few wc.T.ls in reference to the illustrious family from which Queen Adelaide derived de- scent and which may not be inappropriate. The House of Saxe Meiningen is a s-ionof that of Saxe-Gotha, her Majesty's great- grandfather, Bernard, Duke of Saxe- Meiningen, having been fourth son of Ernest the Pious, Duke of Saxe-Gotha, and elder brother of John-Ernest Duke of Saxe-Saalfcld, from whom descends Prince Albert. The family of Saxe is one of the most ancient and illustrious of the Sovereign Houses of Europe. Its Princes, who frequently commanded armies and acquired great military re- nown, were as eminent in peace as the munificent patrons of art, science, and literature. The present chief of the race isthe Grand Duke of Saxe- Weimar, who, but for the misfortunes of his ancestor, the Elector John Frederick, would now be in- vested with the sovereignty of Saxony. The next branch in seniority is that of Saxc-Meiningen; the third, Saxe- Alten- burg; the fourth, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha ; and the fifth, tiie Royal House of Saxony. By female descent, Queen Adelaide derived, in a direct lin , from our famous English Monarch, the great and good King Alfred. SIR MAKC ISAMBART BRUXEL. Sir Marc Isamb.irt Brunei, one of the most eminent engineers of this or any age, was born at Hacqucville. department of L'Eure, Normandy, in 1769 He was the son of Jean Charles Brunei, and the scion of a family of ancient name and descent and of landed Norman estate, which they, though Royalist, hold to this day. He was intended for the Church, and was sent for his education to the ecclesiastical seminar}- of St. Xicain, at Rouen. But his taste for, and rapid pro- gress in, mathematics and phyMcal science, led the superiors of that estab- lishment to induce his father to have his prospects altered. He accordingly en- tered the French Royal Navy; and while an officer in it, lie gave evidence already of his grc t mechanical and engineering skill. The French Revolution interrupted his advancement at home, and drove the young Brunei, a Royalist, to seek safety and occupation in the United States. There he rose speedily to eminence as a civil engineer. The Bowery Theatre recently burnt down, and the Cannon Foundry, at New York, were among his American works. Towards the end of the last century. Brunei left America and came to England. His first and perhaps his most nsiTiil work here, was his plan for making ship-blocks by machinery. It is needless OBITUARY FOR XOVK.M IlKR AM) DKCEMBFK. 29 to comment on the originality, the be;mty, and the success of tiiis well- known in- vention. It has saved a fortune to the State, and it remains, after a lapse of forty years, to this day unaltered. The sawmills at Chatham and Woolwich, the circular saw for cutting veneers, the machine for winding cotton into balls, owe their improvement or origin to Brunei. Then came his knowledge to assist in fur- thering the newly discovered power of steam upon the waves; steam navi- gation was indebted to him through the whole course of its mighty advancement. In 1824 he commenced a work, which has made his name known throughout the world, and which took nearly twenty years fo its completion we need hardly say that we allude to the Tunnel under the Thames. This gigantic undertaking against gigantic obstacles owes its ulti- mate realization to the indomitable labour and energy of Brunei. M. Brunei was Knighted in 1841; he was also Vice- president of the Royal Society, and of the Institution of Civil Engineers, a cor- responding member of the French Insti- tute, and a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. Sir Isambart Brunei had mar- ried, in 1799, a daughter of William Kingdom, Esq., by whom (who survives him) he leaves one son, also an eminent engineer, and two daughters, one mar- ried to Mr. Hawes, Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, and the other mar- ried to the Rev. Mr. Harrison, Vicar of New Brentford. Sir Marc died on the 12th Dec. at his house in St. James's Park, aged 80, deeply and generally regretted, as well on account of his pri- vate as his public worth. FREDERICK WILLIAM CAMPBELL, ESQ , OF BARBRECK. This respected gentleman died at Birk- field, near Ipswich. He was son and heir of the late Dcnald Campbell, Esq., of Barbreck, by Mary Campbell, his wife, a daughter of Lord Frederick Campbell ; and represented the Barbreck branch of the house of Argyle a distinguished off- shoot of the parent stem. Early in life Mr. Campbell entered the army, and held the commission of Lieu- tenant and Captain in the 1st Regiment of Guards. He succeeded kis father in 1804; and, fixing his residence in Suffolk, be- came a Magistrate and Deputy -Lieutenant of that county. He was born 4th Jan- uary, 1782, and married twice: first, Emma Ashwell, daughter of Wade Toby Caulfeild, Esq., of Raheenduff; and, se- condly, Sophia, daughter of the late Sir Edward Winniugton, Bart., M.P., by whom he had a daughter, Sophia Jane who married Peter Robeit Charles Bur- rell, Esq., nephew of Lord \\illonghby d'Eresbv, and died in 1843, leaving a sou Wiiloughby Merrik Campbell Burrell. HENRY JOUN GEOUUE, EARL OF CARNARVON. It is with feelings of more than common regret, that we have to record the demise of this estimable nobleman. Descended as his lordship was, from one of the most ancient and honorable stocks in these kingdoms, and deriving his line- age from the Plantageuets, his life and character were worthy of his high pre- tensions, and his clearh will long be regar- ded as a public loss. The late Earl of Car- narvon, was born 8th June, 1800, and succeeded to the title and estates, at the decease of his father the second Earl, in 1833. He was sent early to Eton, and afterwards to Christ Church, Oxford, and in both places was the coternporary of some of the first wits and statesmen of the day. In 1820 his Lordship visited the Continent, and was in Italy during the revolutions in 1821. He afterwards at various intervals travelled in Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Greece, particu- larly tha Mainote country, and even ex- tended his wanderings to Constantinople, and the kingdom of Morocco. At all times an acute observer, his mind was thus stored with information, and his ideas chastened and enlarged; and had the state of his health in later years, permitted him to attend to Parliamentary and pub- lic duties, he would doubtless have become, as his early career in the House of Com- mons so well promised, one of the most eminent statesmen and orators of his day. He was always a clear, argumen- tative, and fluent speaker, and possessed a rare and happy choice of expression. His imagination though glowing and vivid, never transgressed the bounds of good taste, and there was at all times a method in bis argument, and a striking appro- priation in his epithets, which proved the classical culture of his mind. As a poet, the Earl of Carnarvon was favourably known to the literary world, by his poem entitled "the Moor," and by his tragedy of " Don Pedro,' 1 which was performed at one of the larger Theatres. We must not omit also to mention his work on Spain, which ranks him among the most distinguished travellers of modern times. The^e well written volumes, exhibit a high and consistent tone of political feeling, they are full of noble sentiments, and abound with interesting incidents, and charming descriptions. All who have read this work, must regret that owing to the pressure of other employments, his 30 OIHTUARY FOB NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. Lordship's written observations on the present state of Greece, more particularly of the Mainote peninsula, (so little known to travellers), were not prepared for the press. We may still hope that they will not be lost to the world. Fearless, active and chivalrous, the Earl of Carnarvon's early life was one scene of enterprize, and almost marvellous adventure, and perhaps we are not wrong in surmising, that the over exertion and excitement of that pe- riod, laid the foundation of those maladies, which chequered his later years with pain and suffering. In 1830, his Lordship was married to Henrietta Anna, eldest daughter of Lord Henry Thomas Howard Molyneux Howard, and neice of the Duke of Norfolk 1 by which most estimable lady, he has left issue, three sons and two daughters. The eldest son, now Earl of Carnarvon, was born 24th of June, 1831. In the year 1841, Lord Carnarvon under the direction of Mr. Barry, commenced his alterations, at the ancient residence of his family, Highclere Castle, and it is not too much to say, that in conjunction with its fine park and gardens, it forms one of the most beautiful residences in England. But it is not as a public character alone, that the late Earl of Carnarvon's name will go down to posterity honoured and esteemed. Affectionate and kind in every relation of domestic life, affable and li- beral to his neighbours, whatever their rank or station, a fast friend, a warm and ready benefactor, the many and rare virtues of the noble Earl, will live long in the memories of all who had the privilege of approaching him. To award the due meed of praise to him who is now gathered to the tomb of his fathers, cannot be styled flattery. He feels no longer either the world's censure, or its plaudi .s. It will be long ere the void, now created by the demise of this distinguished nobleman, this sincere Chris- tian and real English gentleman, will be filled up, either in the high places into which his rank and talents admitted him, or in the affections of his family and friends, and not of them only, but of the universal population of the district in which he resided. THE RT. REV. WM. HART COLERIDGE, D.D. The death of Bishop Coleridge occurred most suddenly ; the venerated prelate re- turned to his seat, Salston, Ottery, on Thursday, 20th Dec , for the purpose of spending, with his family, the Christmas seas 1 n. About three o'clock in the after- noon on Friday, the bishop was out look- ing at the ruins of St. Saviour's Bridge, over the Otter, shortly after which, on his way home, and just as he had reached the farmhouse, his hind (Mr. Hors ( 'ord), who resides there, asked him how be was. He replied, "I feel very unwell, Hereford," and immediately reeled, hut Mr. Hereford caught him, and pre- vented the fall. Soon after this the Bishop expired. His sudden death is supposed to have been caused by the bursting of a bloodvessel in the heart. In his demise the church has lost a learned and most faithful prelate, the country a wise and consistent Englishman, his ten- ants a good landlord, the large circle of his family and acquaintances a sincere man in the domestic and friendly rela- tions of life, the poor a kind adviser and a benevolent benefactor. Bishop Cole- ridge was bora in 1789 (the only son of Luke Herman Coleridge, Esq., of Thor- verton, County Devon), and received his education at the King's Grammar School of Ottery, St. Mary. In 1808 he entered the University of Oxford, and subse- quently took a first class degree in classics and mathematics. In 1824 he was con- secrated Bishop of Barbadocs and the Leeward Islands, but resigned the see m 1842. His lordship married ia 1825 Miss liennell, eldest daughter of the Very liev. Thomas liennell, D.D., Dean of Winchester, and granddaughter of Sir William Blackstone. JOHN, LORD COLVILLE, OF CULIIOSS, ADMIRAL OF THE WHITE. The death of Admiral Lord Colville, which occurred on Saturday, the 22d De- cember, has occasioned a feeling of deep sorrow amongst a numerous circle of friends, by whom his memory will be cherished with affectionate regard. Lord Colville's professional career commenced so far back as to include him with those who shared in Lord Kodney's memorable victory of the 12th of April, 1782. Early in the late war (in 1794), when First- Lieutenant of the Santa Margarita, his active and spirited conduct in command of a detachment of seamen, at the siege ami capture of Martinique, was so con- spicuous as to obtain the warmest praiso of Ins superiors, and led to his promotion on the return of the Santa Margarita to England in the following year. In J807 his Lordship commanded lllercule, of 74 guns, at the capture of the Danish fleet, and was distinguished in other active and creditable services in the course of the war. Oil all occasions Lord Colvil.e was remarkable for the energy with which he sought every enterprise which could tend to promote the glory of the British flag. Lut in the naval profession the opportunities of distinction occur so ca- priciously as often to refuse to the most OIJITUARY TOR NOVEMBER AM) DECEMBER. 31 zealous and best officers that which chance and good fortune so largely award to the efforts of others, and it was Lord Colvillc's misfortune, more than once, to experience this mortifying truth. His Lordship be- came a flag-officer in 1819, and was Com- mander-in-Chief at Cork from 1821 to 1825. In private life, and especially in the circle of his naval friends, no man was ever more respected or more beloved. His frank unostentatious manner, and cheerful affability, his generous friendship to those most needing it, his hospitality, and, best of all, his unparading pieiy, were amongst the endearing qualities which will make his memory ever precious to those who knew him. Lord Colville was twice mar- ried, first to Elizabeth, sister of Sir Francis Ford, Bart., and secondly, to Anne, sister of the Ear! of Ellenborough. He sat as one of the representative peers of Scotland in ten successive parliaments, and was extra Lord of the Bedchamber to his Roy- al Highness Prince Alhert up to the time of his death. He is succeeded in his title by his nephew Charles John, now Baron ' olville, formerly Captain in the Cold- stream Guards, son of the late distinguished General the lion. Sir Charles Colville, G.C.B., G.C.H. ADMIRAL SIR FRANCIS COLLIER, K.B. Sir Francis Augustus Collier, K.B., Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's naval force in the east, was the third son of the late Vice- Admiral Sir George Col- lier, C.B. Sir Francis entered the navy in 1798, under Nelson, on board the Van- guard, and was present at the battle of tiie Nile. From that time forward he served gallantly throughout the war, dis- tinguishing himself by the capture of va- rious French vessels of importance. From 1827 to 1830, Collier was Com- mander-in-Chief on the coast of Africa, and during that period 36,000 slaves were restored to freedom. In 1 830, he received the honour of knighthood, and he was since made a K.B, Sir Francis, while holding his last appointment (that of Commander-in-chief of our naval force in the east), did great benefit to the mer- cantile community by his ready protection afforded at all times to British commerce. A public address was handed to him only a few days before his death, thanking him for the energy he displayed in the extir- pation of piracy. Sir Francis Collier died of apoplexy, on the 28th of October last, at the resi- dence of Judge Hnune, at Hong-Kong, where he had been staying since his re- turn from China. SIR ROBERT K. DICK-CUNYNGHAM, Bart. Sir Robert Keith Dick-Cunyinghatn, Bart., of Prestonfield, in^the county of Edinburgh, and of Lambrunhton, in the county of Ayr, was born on the 14th April, 1773: he inherited the baron etcy,of Pres- tonfield, as seventh Baronet, at the decease of his brother, the ] 4th Dec., 1812; and he succeeded to the baronetcy of Caprhig- ton. as sixth Baronet, on the demise of his cousin-german, Sir William Cunning- ham, as 5th Baronet, in 1829. Sir Ro- bert married, the loth May, 1807, Harriet, third daughter of Thomas Hanmer, Esq., of Stapleton, in the county of Gloucester, by whom (who survives him) he leaves, with four other sons and two daughters, an eldest son and successor, I William Hanmer (the present Baronet), late an officer in the Dragoon a Gu.irds, who is married to Susan, third daughter of the late James Alston Stuart, Esq , of Urrard, Perthshire, and has issue. Sir Robert was the descendant and representative of two very ancient and honourable Scot- tish families, the Dycks, or Van Dykes, originally from Bruges, and the Cunning- hams, of Ciiprington, the latter connected by marriage with the royal line of Robert Bruce. Sir Robert, who, previous to the last two years, resided for a long period abroad, died at his seat inJScotland, on the 14th Dec., in his 77th year. COMMISSARY-GENERAL SIR CHARLES DALRYMPLE . Sir Charles Dalrymple, whose death occurred at Maidstone, on the 1st Dec., was the son of the late General William Toombs Dalrymple. He took an active part in the duties of his department for many years during the late war, first with the expedition to the Holder, in 1799, and subsequently in Germany, in 1800 and 1801. On his return he was advanced to the rank of Deputy Commissary- General, and proceeded to Madeira. At the breaking out of the war in 1803 he served in England till the year 1808, when he accompanied an expedition under Sir John Sherbroke to Cadiz, and afterwards joined the army in Portugal, in which country, and in Spain and France, he served till the end of the war. He was appointed Commissary-General in 1812, and received the honour of Knighthood from _the Prince Regent, as a reward for his services. The duties which fell to his lot in the Peninsular war were those of an active and confiden- tial nature, during which he co-operated with the late Sir Robert Kennedy, who had the chief charge of the commissariat department. Sir Charles Dalrymple re- ceived the medal for his services at Tala- vera, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nivc, Orthes, and Toulouse. 3-2 OBITUARY FOR NOVKMliKR AND 1MCEMHE!!.

Though Elliott was a native of ^las- borough, and died at Argilt-hill, near Bamslev, he belongs (we quote from the Sheffield Independant) ' k to Sheffield more than to any other place. Here were passed nearly all the days of his man- hood's prime. He became famous us a poet whilst he resided in Sheffield; in connexion with Sheffield he became re nowned as a politician; in Sheffield he earned the independence upon which he retired in his honourable old age ; and in and immediately near Sheffield were com- posed many of his most celebrated works. He has pictured our hills and valleys in words of beauty and truth, so that our neighbourhood is especially aud for ever linked with his n^ me." Ebenezer Elliott was born at Masbo- rough, near Eotherham, 17th March, 1781, the son of a Commercial Clerk in the Iron Works there. At a very early period of life he was put to work in the foundry, and at a later epoch entered into business on his own account at Ko- therham, but unsuccessfully. In 1821 he removed to Sheffield, at 40 years of age, and there made his second start in life. He used to relate that he here began bu- siness with a borrowed 100, with which he bought a stock of iron, which ' tippled right over its head," or in other words, he sold for twice as much as it cost. He was not unduly elated with such suc- cess for, unlike his neighbours in those times of artificial prosperity, he saw that the bubble must soon burst. He there- fore prudently kept his liabilities within the narrowest possible compass, and this saved him from embarrassment, and ena- bled him to take advantage of " the turn of the market. ' At one period, so successful were his transactions, that, as he told Mr. Howitt, "he used to sit in his chair, and make his 20 a day , without even seeing the iron he sold ; for it came to the wharf, and was sold again thence , without ever coming into his warehouse or under his eye." Still, this success was the result of years of laborious industry, of acute intelligence, and business habits. There are important points in Elliot's history, showing that "trade and literature may be combined, and that a man of the right stamp may right an up-hill battle in both fields of enterprise , and wia in both." As a poet, his fame rests principally in the "Corn Law liliyines,'" In 1841, Mr. El.iutt retired from business, and from active interference in politics, to spend his last years at Great Houghton, near Barns. ey, where he built a house upon a small estate of his own. lie now wrote and published little, and he betook himself io the quiet en- joyment of the country. Mr. Elliott's last illness was of several weeks duration ; he was anxious that the marriage of his daughter with John Wat- kins, Esq., of Clapham, should be so- lemnized during his life; it therefore took place on the 17th ult. , though it had been lixed for Christmas Day. As the newiy-married pair passed Argiit-hili, Mr. Elliott was raised up in beu to see them pass the window; when he desired that he might be buried at Dariiu'd church, where they had been married. Mr. Elliott died on the 1st inst., and was buried at Darnel d church on the Oth. He has left a wife and five sons and two daughters. While on his death-bed, he dictated the following lines; Tliy notes, sweet Robin, soft as dew, Heard boon or late, are dear to me; To Music 1 could bid adieu, But not iu tbee.

Prince Leopold Alexander Hohenlohe, Bishop of Saniica, Grand Provost and Canon of the Chapter of Groswardem, Hungary, and Mitred Abbot of St. Mi- chael of Gaborjan, was a scion of the Waldenburgh branch of the ancient and illustrious German family of Hohenlohe, Ihe prince was born Aug. 17, 1794, and very early in life devoted himself to the service of religion. His fervi.ur and piety were so ardent, and his piayers in behalf of the sick and afflicted proved so frequently successful, that many believed that he was gifted with a miraculous p .wer. Some five and twenty years ago, this supposed divine attribute created a great sensation, and became the universal theme of conversation. The subject was then much and seriously discussed on both sides. Since that little or nothing has been heard of the Prince, who, it a|'je;iv-, shrank himself from the straiige publicity given to him, and con- fined iamse.f subsequently to the zealous ami exemplary performances of his high clerical and episcopal functions. Prince Hohenlohe, whatever might be the ta ih in Ins miracles, was much es- OBITUARY FOH NOVEMBIR AND DEC1CM !!ER. teemed and beloved for the mildness asui benevolence of his disposition; ami his death, which occurred on the 16th Nov. is very generally regret red. SEKGEANT LA WES. Edward H. Vitnivius Lawes was called to the bar by the Hon. Society of the In- ner Temple in 1810; his practice lay more in chambers than in court. He was the author of some successful law works; among them, a " Treatise on Pleading," and a " Treatise on Chartcrparties and Bills of Lading." Having risen to the degree of the c>;if, Mr. Sergeant Lawes was appointed, some time ago, Chief Re- gistrar of the Court of Bankruptcy. The learned Sergeant died suddenly, on the 27th Nov. at his residence in Woburn- place, Russell-square, in the 65th year of his age. THE HON. AND REV. SIR HENRY LESLIE, BART. The death of Sir Henry Leslie occurred on the 9th Dec. at his residence. Juniper- hill, Mickleham, Surrey. The rev. gen- tleman had completed, on the 21st of last September, his 66th year. He was son of Sir Lucas Pepys, Bait , M.D. physician to King George III., by Jane Elizabeth Leslie, his wife, Countess of Rothes, and was consequently cou in-germ-m of the present Lord Cottenham. and of Dr. Henry Pepys, Bishop of Worcester. Sir Henry married, 15th February, 1816, Elizabeth Jane, daughter of the Rev. James < Jake*, of Tostock, co. Suffolk, but became a widower on the 12th of the fol- lowing December. At the period of his decease he was Rector of Sheephall, Herts, and Wetherden, Suffolk, Prebendary of Exeter, and one of the Queen's Chaplains in Ordinary. His only sister, Lady Har- riet Leslie, was the first wife of the Earl of Devon. Sir Henry having left no issue, the Baronetcy devolves, under the limitation of the patent, on the Lord Chancellor, who is heir male of the Pepys family, and who is already in pos- s ession of a Baronetcy. ROBERT O'CALLAGHAN NEWEXIfA3f, ESQ. Robert O'Callaghan Newenham was the last surviving son of Sir Edward Newen- ham, who was for more than thirty years a distinguished member of the Irish Par- liament for the city of Dublin. Mr. Robt. Newenham was a man of great acquire- ments and refined taste. He might, with- out exaggeration, be styled the Father of the Arts in the south of Ireland. He was for many years the President of the So- ciety for their promotion; and he lived to witness the consummation of his wishes in the establishment of the School of Design. Mr. Newenham was not onlv a man ot re- fined tastes and literary acquirements, but he was a clever writer and a patient scholar; witness his production. "The Architectural Antiquities of Ireland." Mr Newenham died in his 82d year, on the 20th ult., at Dundanion Castle, the seat of his son-in-law, Sir Thomas Deane. BhIGADILR-GEXERAL PHILLIPS, O.B. This gallant officer, who so brilliantly distinguished himself in the battles which took place in India during the campaign in the Punjaub, entered the service In 1824, and became a lieutenant-colonel in 1843. For a long period he commanded the 53rd (Shropshire) Foot and headed that corp.s at the battles of Sobraon, Ali- wall, and Bundewall. He afterwards became Brigadier-General with the army in occupation of the Punjaub, and was made a Companion of the Bath for his conduct in tlie field. General Phill ps died on the 2 1st Nov. at Great Maldon, after a protracted illness. THOMAS LKVETT PRINSEP, ESQ., OF CROX- ALL HALL, COUNTY DERBY. This gentleman, who died at Bishop- steignton, in Devon, was third son of the late Theophilus Levett, Esq. of Wichnor Park, county Stafford, High Sheriff of that shire, 50 George III., and Recorder of the city of Lichfield: by Frances Ins wife, daughter of Thomas Prinsep, Esq., of Croxall Hall, county Derby. He was twice married, first to Margaret daughter of David Monro, Esq., by whom he has left one surviving daughter; and, secondly, to Caroline! daughter of the Rev. John Temple. LADY PCLTEXEY. This lady, who died Nov. 1, at an ad- vanced age, at her residence in Piccadillv was a daughter of Sir William Stirling, Bart., of Ardoch, and married, first An- drew Stuart, Esq., of Torrance and Cas- tlemilk, many years Member for Lanark- shire, and last of the male line of the Stuarts of Castlemilk and Darnlev. He is represented by his daughters Christian Anne, Elizabeth, and Charlotte, the wife of Robert Harington, Esq., as co-heirs general. Mrs. Stuart married, secondlv, Sir William Pnlteney, a distinguished member of the House of Commons, and one of the richest commoners in Great Britain. There being no issue of this marriage, Sir W. Pulteney's immense estates devolved at his death on the Coun- tess of Bath, his daughter bv a former marriage with Miss Pnlteney; heiress of the Earl of Bath. The Countess of Bath dying without children, the estates were divided amongst branches of the Pultenev family, the Earl of Darlington, and Sir Richard Sutton ; Sir William Pulteney's 34 OBITUARY FOR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. paternal estate of Westevhall and the borough of Weymouth going to his nephew, Sir John Jolmstone, grandfather of the present Baronet, who is aaninor. L. H. SHAD WELL, ESQ. On Tuesday, the llth of December, the body of L. H. Shadwell, Esq., barrister- at-law, the second son of Sir L. Shad- well, Vice-Chancellor, was discovered in a, ditch which divides Barnes Elms Park, the residence of his father, from an adja- cent farm. The deceased occupied asleep- ing apartment in a lodge, which is about a. quarter of a mile distant from the man- sion of the family; and he was last seen alive on the previous Sunday night when he left the house about half-past nine o'clock to walk across the park to this lodge. The night was not only dark, but there was at the time an intense fog. It having been ascertained in the morning that he had been absent from his customary sleep- ing-place during the night, a search was instituted, and on Tuesday the body was discovered in the ditch already mentioned, in which the water was not more than two feet six inches deep, but the deposit of mud was still deeper. Dr. Willis was sent for, and made an external examina- tion of the body, which, it should bo stated, was dressed, with the exception of the feet, which were naked. There was no trace of the shoes, but afterwards socks wei-e found in his pockets. His trousers and other portions of his dress had been much torn, apparently by the brambles at the si ~.e of the ditch, which the de- ceased had evidently caught at to save himself, if possible, in his descent. A ring and other valuable property were on his per- son, showing that Mr. Shadwell hid not been the victim of robbery. The general supposition as to the cause that led to the death is, that the unfortunate gentleman on leaving the mansion, diverged from the right path, owing to the heavy fog, and fell into the sluice connecting the lake with the river, the tide being then up, and being a most fearless swimmer it is presumed he swam out into the river, and then landed on the towing path, and in endeavouring to regain the park he inad- vertently fell into the ditc.h, where it was evident his struggles had been most terrific to extricate himself. THOMAS STAPLETON, ESQ. The decease of this eminent antiquary occurred on the 4th. He was the second son of the late Thomas Stapleton, Esq., of Carlton, in Yorkshire, and next bro- ther of Miles Thomas Stapleton, who established his co-hcirship to the ancient Barony of Beaumont, and had summons to the House of Peers in 1840. Mr. Thomas Stapleton was born 16th of Oct. 1806, and had consequently completed his forty-third year. MRS. TUITE. This lady, widow of the late Colonel Tuite, of the Irish Brigade, Chevalier of the Order of St Louis, died at Boulogne, 9th Dec., in her 89th year. She was the eldest daughter of Robert Dolman, Esq., of Pocklington, M.D., by Peggy, his first wife.only child of Thomas Reynolds, Esq., of Mauragh, Notts, and was married to Colonel James Tuite, of Montserut, by whom, who died at Boulogne in 1838, she had a son, Joseph Thomas Tuite, Esq., of Dcighton-Grove, county of York. The knightly family of Dolman, from which Mrs. Tuite descended, is one of the oldest in England. The present re- presentative, John Thomas Dolman, Esq., of York (Mrs. Tuite's nephew), is sole heir to the B;irony of Stapleton. SIR EDMUND KEYNTON WILLIAMS, K.C.B., MAJOR-GENERAL IN THE ARMY. This distinguished officer, Major-Ge- neral in the army, and Colonel of the 80th Foot, gained great distinction in the Peninsular War, and received a Cross and one clasp for his services, in command ofthe 4th Ca9adores atBusaco, Salamanca, Vittoria, St. Sebastian, and Nive. He was also made a Knight of the Tower and Sword of Portugal, and a Knight Commander ofthe Bath. Sir Edmund commanded lately, a division of the In- dian army. He was born in 1779, the son of the Rev. Henry Williams, Vicar of Udny, in Monmouthshire, and married Miss Hawker, daughter of John Hawker, Esq., of Plymouth. OBITUARY. DECEMBER, 1849, AND JANUARY, 1850. MRS. HARTLEY. The name of Bartley has been long and honourably connected with the drama. The lady, to whom the following brief memoir refers, was the wife of Mr. Bart- ley, so long a leading comedian of his day, and was herself a highly distinguished ornament of the tragic stage. Her death occurred at her residence in Woburn- square, on the 13th Jan., and arose from a general paralysis. Under her maiden name of Smith, she appeared at old Covent Garden in 1806, as Lady Totonley, in the " Provoked Husband," and at once estab- lished her position, completing her suc- cess in the same season by her representa- tions of Belvidtra, Juliet, Beatrice, and other prominent characters. Immediately following Mrs. Siddons, Miss Smith had to contend with the brilliant fame of her great predecessor, but the very difficulty of the attempt seemed to lend new energy to the youthful tragedian. During the very season of Miss Smith's debut, Mrs. Siddons returned to Covent Garden, and played Alicia and Jane Shore alternately with her young rival. After the destruc- tion of Covent Garden by fire, in 1808, Miss Smith accepted an engagement in Dublin, where she remained three years, and then returned to the scene of her first triumphs, making her second appearance at Covent Garden in 1811. Here she re- mained without a rival until 1814, when she transferred her services to New Drury- lane, and, shortly after, married Mr. Bart- ley, the comedian. In 1818, she and her husband made a very prosperous voyage to the United States, and on her return she resumed her position at Covent Gar- den ; but, at the expiration of her engage- ment there, she retired from the stage, taking a formal farewell of the public, in the part of Lady Macbtth. At tile period of her lamented decease, Mrs. Bartley had completed her 64th year. Domestic sor- row, combined with failing health, cast a melancholy gloom over the closing years of a life whose previous sunshine rendered the contrast doubly bitter. About five years ago she was attacked by paralysis ; and from that time her health gradually became worse, until, at last, came the sad- dest trial of all the loss of her two only children, a fine youth and an amiable girl, who were both suddenly snatched away. It is sufficient to shew the estimation in which this gifted lady was held, to say that she numbered among her warmest friends Joanna Baillie and Walter Scott ; and that she was summoned to Windsor Castle to charm the ear of Royalty by her incomparable elocution. 81B THOMAS GIBSON CARMICHAEL, BART. Sir Thomas Gibson Carmichael, of Skirling, in the county of Peebles, suc- ceeded his brother, Sir John Gibson Car- michael, as tenth Baronet. Sir Thomas married, first, Jane Maitland, daughter of the late Major-General Dundas, of Fin- gask ; and, secondly, on the 8th of June, 1816, the Hon. Anne Napier, daughter of Francis, seventh Lord Napier. He leaves issue, besides three daughters, a son, Alex- ander, born in 1820, now the eleventh Baronet. Sir Thomas died at Naples, on the 13th inst. The family of Sir Gibson Carmichael is of distinguished and honourable descent. The first Baronet, Sir Alexander Gibson, whose patent of creation dates as far back 9 OnlTTJARY FOB J>tCMBB AMD JASUARY. as 1628, was an eminent lawyer, and Lord President of the Court of Session, in the reign of James I. The surname of Car- michacl was assumed by the ninth Baronet, in consequence of his marriage with Helen Carmichael, granddaughter of the first Earl of Hyndford. DR. CLAinrv. WILLIAM REID CLANNY, M.D., a dis- tinguished physician, was a native of the County Down, Ireland, and received his education at the Medical Schools,Edinburgh, where he graduated. He commenced his career as an assistant-surgeon in the Royal Navy, and served at the battle of Copen- hagen. He subsequently resided at Bishop Wearmouth, in the county of Durham, where he practised with success in his profession for upwards of forty-five years. Dr. Glanny was a member of several learned and scientific institutions, and Physician Extraordinary to the late Duke of Sussex. Dr Clanny's scientific talent and humane feelings were early enlisted in the cause of preventing accidents in .coal-mines. In the year 1813 he con- structed a lamp, which was the first at- tempt made that was calculated to allow the light to burn safely in an explosive atmosphere. This invention he had the courage himself to test in a coal-mine con- taining upwards of one hundred acres of explosive air. In reward, the Society of Arts in London gave him their gold and silver medals. This first lamp, from its cumbrous form, never came into general use ; but Dr. Clanny persevered, and even- tually so perfected the lamp, that it became the most complete of its kind, whether as to safety, brilliancy of light, or portability of form. A few friends, headed by the Marquis of Londonderry, the largest coal- owner in the north of England, aware of these facts, lately presented the Doctor with a piece of plate, for his eminent ser- vices in bringing into effective use this great discovery. Dr. Clanny died on the 10th Jan. at his residence, Bishop Wear- mouth, aged 73, much and deservedly regretted. EDWARD DUBOIS, ESQ. This gentleman, who was well known as a man of wit and classical learning, died on the 10th Jan. at his house in Sloanc- street. The first appearance of Mr. Dubois as an author was in 1799, when he pub- lished a volume entitled " The Wreath," consisting of selections from Sappho, Bion, and Moschus, with a prose translation. In the year 1802 he published " Old Nick," a satirical story, in three volumes ; and next year Mr. Dubois edited an edition of the " Decameron " of Boccaccio," in Eng- lish, to which he added remarks on his life and writings ; and in 1807 he edited Francis's "Horace." Much of the cele- brity of Mr. Dubois, however, arose from his publication of " My Pocket- Book," a pungent satire in ridicule of Sir John Carr, the tourist : it gave rise to a lawsuit, in which Sir John failed. Mr. Dubois was also editor of " The Monthly Mirror," for some time previous to its discontinuance. In 1836, Mr. Dubois was called to the Bar by the Hon. Society of the Middle Temple : he practised as a special pleader, and also as a barrister, on the Home Cir- cuit. Mr. Dubois was Judge of the She- riffs Metropolitan County Court, prior to the passing of the recent statute ; and he filled that office with great credit to him- self, and utility to the public. JOHN DTTNCAN. MR. DUNCAN, one of the most intrepid of English travellers in Africa, was the son of a small farmer in Wigtonshire, North Britain. At an early age he enlisted in the 1st regiment of Life Guards, in which he served with credit for 18 years, and discharged himself with a high cha- racter for good conduct, about the year 1840. In the voyage to the Niger, in 1842, Mr. Duncan was appointed armourer ; and, during the progress of that ill-fated expe- dition, he held a conspicuous place in all the treaties made by the commissioners, with the native chiefs. He returned to England, one of the remnant of the expe- dition, with a frightful wound in his leg, and a shattered body, from which he long suffered. With a return of health, how- ever, came a renewed desire to explore Africa, and under the auspices of the Geo- graphical Society, he started in the sum- mer of 1844, not without substantial proofs from many of the members, of the interest they took in his perilous adventure. The particulars of his journey along the coast, until his arrival in Dahomey, were detailed in letters to his friends, and published in the "Geographical Society's Journal" of that period. From Dahomey he again returned to the coast, having traversed a portion of country hitherto untrodden by Europeans, but broken down in health, and in extreme suffering from the old wound in his leg. Fearful that mortification had commenced, he at one time made prepa- rations for cutting off his own limb, a fact which displays the wonderfully great re- solution of the man. All these journeys were undertaken on a very slenderly fur- nished purse, which, on his arrival at Whydah was not only totally exhausted, PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE CREATIONS. OCT., 1849, TO JAN., 1850. Jan. 10th, 1850. Frederick Temple Blackwood, Baron Dufferin and Clane- boye, in the county of Down, created a Peer of the United Kingdom as BARON CLANDEBOYE, of Clandeboye, co. Down. His Lordship represents the ancient family of Blackwood, of which was the celebrated Adam Blackwood, Privy Councellor to Mary, Queen of Scots. The title of Clandeboye, was formerly borne by James Hamilton, Viscount Clandeboye, father of James Earl of Clanbrassil. Of that noble- man, Lord Dufferin is one of the co- representatives. Oct. 31st, 1849. The Right Hon. SIR JAMES DUKE, Lord Mayor of the city of London, created a Baronet. The advancement of this gentleman to the station he now occupies affords a fresh instance of the happy oppor- tunities our constitution presents to the deserving of every class of the community to achieve wealth and honour to crown the efforts of indus- try and integrity with success. Mr. Duke entered the civil service of the navy in a junior department, in 1809, under the late Sir Peter Parker, and afterwards served in the Mediterranean under Lord Viscount Exmouth, until the end of 1813. He then became secretary to Admiral Sir John Gore, continuing to fill that position up to August 1814, when his naval service was terminated by the peace. In 1819, Mr. Duke commenced his com- mercial career, the early friends he had acquired by good conduct on ship- board adhering to him in his new circumstances and the pursuits of mercantile life. In process of time his ability and success attracted the attention of his fellow-citizens ; he became a Common Councilman, and in 1840 an Alderman of London. He was previously elected Sheriff in 1836. In the course of that year he received the honour of knighthood, and at the conclusion of it was presented by the corporation with a valuable piece of plate in token of his acknowledged merit and usefulness in a public station. In conjunction with his partner, Mr. Hill, Sir James Duke was a member of the leading firm, engaged in the great market of the coal trade ; but he has retired from business in favour of his late partner. In 1837 Sir James Duke became one of the representa- tives in Parliament of the borough of Boston, and continued to represent the same constituency, until elected for the city of London. Dec. 22, 1849. THOMAS NEVILLE ABDY, Esq., of Albyns, co. Essex, created a Baronet. The Abdys of Albyns had a Baro- netcy conferred on them so far back as 1660. It continued in the family for a century and then became extinct at the decease, unmarried, of the last direct male heir Sir John Abdy, fourth Bart., who bequeathed his estates to his aunt, Mrs. Crank, for life, with re- mainder to his kinsman Sir Anthony Thomas Abdy, Bart, of Felix Hall, to the Rev. Stotherd Abdy, that gentle- man's brother, and, eventually, in failure of issue of both, to Thomas, son of the Rev. Dr. Rutherforth, Arch- deacon of Essex, by their sister, Char- lotte Abdy. The last named devisee ultimately inherited, and assuming the surname and arms of Abdy, in 1775, became the Rev. Thomas Abdy Abdy of Albyns. His grandson is now Sir Thomas Neville Abdy, Bart, of Albyns. December 22nd, 1849. JAMES PHILLIPS KAY SHUTTLE WORTH, Esq., of Gawthorpe Hall, co. Lancaster, created a BARONET. Dr. Kay, of the Privy Council Office, CHANGES OF NAME. was long connected with the Educa- tional Department. In 1842, he mar- ried Jane Shuttleworth, of Gawthorpe Hall, co. Lancaster, only child and heiress of the late Robert Shuttle- worth, Esq., by Janet, his wife, eldest daughter of Sir John Majoribanks, Bart., of Lees. The family of Shut- tleworth is one of the oldest in Eng- land, and their mansion of Gawthorpe, erected by Sir Richard Shuttleworth, Chief Justice of Chester 3] ELIZA- BETH, one of the most beautiful spe- cimens of Gothic architecture extant. In the Oliverian times, when rank and property were compelled to sail with the current, Richard Shuttle- worth Esq., then of Gawthorpe, and John Starkie, Esq., of Huntroyd, were two leading magistrates for the hun- dred of Blackburn, and their names as Hymeneal Priests, according to the prevalent usage of the period, fre- quently occur in the parish registers of the neighouring churches. The late Rt. Rev. Dr. Shuttleworth, Bishop of Chichester, was a descend- ant of the Gawthorpe family, through the Forcet branch. CHANGES OF NAME. Oct. 16th, 1849.

OBITUABY FOB DECKMBEB AND JANUABT. 39 Park, co. Northampton. He married Wil- helmina, daughter of Captain William Miller, R.N., and died in 1820, leaving an only child, Robert Shedden, Esq., the sub- ject of our present notice, who adopted the sea as an occupation, and was a dis- tinguished navigator The Nancy Dawson yacht, owned and commanded by him, sailed from England about two years since, on a voyage round the world, and with the intention of proceeding, at the end of their second year's absence from England, to prosecute a search, on this side, for the missing expedition under Sir John Frank- lin. She touched at Petropaulski, Kam- schatka fell in with ice on the passage through Behring's Straits, and found her Majesty's ships Herald and Plover (two ships despatched by her Britannic Majesty's Government for Sir John's relief) just as they were sailing from Kotzebue Sound. The yacht kept company with them for some days, and went with the boats des- patched from her Majesty's ship Plover round Point Barrow, and rendered great assistance and afforded much kindness to the boat expedition to the Mackenzie-river. On two occasions the yacht was nearly being lost. The Nancy Dawson sailed south in company with H.M. ship Herald, and passing through the Aleuctian Group, arrived at Mazatlan on the 13th Novem- ber. On the passage Mr. Shedden was extremely ill; and three days after his arrival at Mazatlan, in spite of the assist- ance rendered him by the medical naval officer present, died in about the 28th year of his age. His funeral was attended, with great regret and respect, by most of the naval officers at Mazatlan. Mr. Shed- den was in possession of a large fortune, and had great expectations. His yacht will return to England in charge of one of the officers of her Majesty's ship Herald. PATRICK FRASER TYTLER, ESQ. The Tytlers are a family of great anti- quity ; their proper name was Seton. Their ancestor, a cadet of the noble house of Seton, temp. James IV., having in a sudden quar- rel slain a gentleman of the name of Gray at a hunting match, fled to France, and as- sumed the name of Tytler. His two sons returned to Scotland with Queen Mary, from the eldest of whom the present family descends. Their paternal arms, crest, and motto bear reference to these particulars. Patrick Fraser Tytler's grandfather, Wil- liam Tytler, Esq., of Woodhouselee " Revered defender of the beauteous Stuart," so termed in allusion to his work, " An En- quiry historical and critical into the Evi- dence against Mary Queen of Scots," was father of Alexander Fraser Tytler, a Lord of Session under the title of Lord Woodhouse- lee, and a writer of celebrity. Lord Wood- houselee's " Life of Lord Kames," and his " Universal History," are standard works. He was an early and intimate friend of Sir Walter Scott. He married Anne Fraser, heiress of Belnain, who was a scion of the House of Lovat, and hence his additional surname of Fraser. Their third son, the subject of this notice, Patrick Fraser Tytler, was born in 1790. He was educated for the bar, and was enrolled a member of the Faculty of Advocates in 1 8 1 3. While con- nected with the profession, he held the office of King* s Counsel in Exchequer. He, how- ever, soon abandoned the law for literature, to which he attached himself for the rest of his life with the most eminent success. His first work of note was his " Life of the Ad- mirable Crichton." This was followed, some other productions intervening, by that undertaking which took nearly 18 years in its completion, and which will immortalize his name, the " History of Scotland." This work, which was published in nine volumes, recounts the Scottish annals, from the acces- sion of King Alexander III., in 1249, to the union of the two Crowns under James VI., in 1 603. Mr. Tytler concluded his brilliant toil with the following touching peroration : " It is with feelings of gratitude mingled with regret," said he, " that the author now closes this work the history of his country the labour of little less than eighteen years : gratitude to the Giver of all good, that life and health have been spared to complete, however imperfectly, an arduous undertaking ; regret that the tranquil plea- sures of historical investigation, the happy hours devoted to the pursuit of truth, are at an end, and that he must at last bid fare- well to an old and dear companion." Mr. Tytler found leisure, in the midst of this giant task, to write several other books : among them, his delightful " Lives of the Scottish Worthies," and also the Lives of Sir Walter Raleigh and Henry VIII. ; and many other works illustrative of history. A few years ago Mr. Tytler received from the Crown a well-merited pension of 200 a year. Mr. Tytler was twice married. His first wife was a daughter of Mr. Hog, of New- liston. His second, who survives him, was the daughter of Mr. Bonar, a Russian mer- chant. He leaves two sons and a daughter. Mr. Tytler was always a person of delicate constitution. He had latterly wandered abroad in search of health, and had but re- cently returned from the Continent. He died at Great Malvern, in Worcestershire 40 OIUTUART FOB DECEMBER AND JANUARY. on the 24th December. His death is a loss not only to his family and friends, but to his country, whose history he could tell so well, and whoso literature is so illumined by his writings. LIEXJTEXANT WAGHORN, R.N. Thomas "Waghorn, whose name is so me- ritoriously connected with the improved state of travelling to India, entered the Bri- tish Navy the 10th November, 1812, and was made a Lieutenant the 23d March, 1842. His fame lies in his being the originator of the Overland Mail to India, one of the greatest benefits that has fallen to the lot of this country in her communication with her great Eastern empire. The Christmas- Day, only, before his lamented death, Mr. "Waghorn had returned from Malta, where he had been residing a short time for the benefit of his health, which had been con- siderably impaired by arftiety of mind, arising chiefly from pecuniary engagements, contracted in his prosecution of the Trieste experiments in 1846, and which liabilities the devotion of all his means and the sacri- fice of his entire property were inadequate to liquidate. Independent of the main in- cidents of his history in connexion with the Indian Overland enterprise, which has im- mortalized his name as one of the greatest practical benefactors of the age, his career had been a most extraordinary one, full of the strangest vicissitudes, and abounding in evidences of character in every way worthy of enduring commemoration. Of the pension lately awarded him by Government, he lived to receive only one quarter's payment. His death was occasioned not so much by any specific disorder as by the general break-up of the system, through the wreck of his iron constitution ; his irrepressible energy offered so great a resistance to the inroads of debility that it was thought to the last that he would rally, and his disso- lution was attended with great pain and suffering. Lieutenant Waghorn died some- what suddenly, on the 8th instant, at his residence, Golden Square, Pentonville, in the 49th year of his age. It is sincerely to be hoped that the Government will con- tinue his pension to his widow. OBITUARY FOn DECEMBER AMD JAWUABY. 37 but he was compelled to place himself in " pawn," as he expressed it, for advances, which would take years of labour on the coast to liquidate. From that disagreeable position, his friends of the Geographical Society soon relieved him, by an ample subscription, with which he proposed to make a journey from Cape Coast to Tim- buctoo, but the state of his health com- pelled him to return to England. He was lately appointed Vice-Consul to Dahomey. He died on his way thither on the 3rd of last November, on board her Majesty's ship "Kingfisher," in the Bight of Benin. Mr. Duncan leaves a wife, who is, we believe, but poorly provided for. COLONEL IRVINE. Lieutenant-Colonel Archibald Irvine, C.B., Director of the Engineering and Architectural Works of the Admiralty, was, during the greater part of his life, an arduous, gallant, and distinguished offi- cer of the East India Company's Engi- neers. He served in many sieges and storms, being severely wounded, and on two occasions leading forlorn hopes. The talents of Colonel Irvine as a military engineer were highly prized in India : the last employment of his abilities there was at the great battles under Lord Hardinge. Colonel Irvine, about three years ago, suc- ceeded the late Colonel Brandreth, R.E., as chief of the Admiralty engineering and architectural department at Somerset House. Colonel Irvine died on the 29th Dec. at his residence in Highgate. He leaves behind him a young and numerous family. ARCHDEACON JENNINGS. The Venerable Phillip Jennings, D.D., Archdeacon of Norfolk, was for many years Assistant Minister of St. James's Chapel, Westmoreland-street, Marylebonc, and he succeeded to the incumbency of that place a few weeks ago, on the death of the Rev. Thomas White, M.A. Dr. Jennings was made an Archdeacon in 1847, by the late Bishop of Norwich, Dr. Stan- ley. The recent demise of Archdeacon Jennings causes deep regret amongst the clergy of the diocese of Norwich. LADY MARY LESLIE The Lady Mary Leslie, youngest daugh- ter of George William Evelyn, eleventh Earl of Rothes, by his first wife, Hen- rietta Ann, daughter of the first Earl of Chiehester, died at Dorking, on the llth Jan. aged fifty-six. Her Ladyship's elder sister succeeded her father as third Coun- tess of Rothes, and was grandmother of the present Earl. Through her grand- mother, Lady Mary descended from the family of John Evelyn, the accomplished author of " Sylva," and, by her father and mother, was a descendant of some of the best blood in Scotland and England. Lady Mary had resided for many years at Shrub Hill, Dorking, where she was en- deared to the poor by her numerous acts of charity and benevolence. SIR JAMES MALCOLM, K.C.B. This daring and chivalrous officer, whose maternal grand-uncle, Admiral Sir Tho- mas Pasley, achieved his Baronetcy by his heroism on the " 1st June," and three of whose brothers, Sir Pulteney and Sir Charles Malcolm, Admirals, and Sir John Malcolm, a General, gallantly served their country, was the second son of George Malcolm, Esq., CK Burnfoot, Dumfriesshire, a descendant of the Malcolms of Lahore and Innertid, in the county of Fife, who married Miss Margaret Pasley. James Malcolm, was born in 1767, and entered the British service when only thirteen years of age. In the first American war he was an officer in the Royal Marines, and he went with Lord Howe to the re- lief of Gibraltar, in 1782. Malcolm was also senior officer of the marines in the battle of St. Domingo, and he commanded the second battalion of that distinguished corps for three years, on the north coast of Spain, in the United States, and in Lower and Tipper Canada ; he was engaged in several actions, and displayed great daring and conduct at the storming of Fort Os- wego, on Lake Ontario. His whole course of active service, embraced a period of forty -eight years. In 1815, he was created K.C.B. Sir James Malcolm married, in 1806, Jean, daughter of William Oliver, Esq., of Dinley Byre, Roxburgshire, of which county he was Sheriff. Sir James, who was a Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Marines at the time of his death, died on the 3rd January, at his seat, Minhalm, Dumfriesshire, aged eighty-three; he leaves issue two sons and two daughters, one of whom is married to William Burdyett, Esq. LIEUTENANT-GENERAL NICOL, C.B. This gallant Peninsular and Indian offi- cer entered the British service in 1795, and rose, during a long and brilliant career, to be a Lieutenant-Gcncral in 1846, when he was also nominated a Companion of the Bath. Nicol was present at the battles of Vittoria, the Pyrenees, Nivelle, and Nieve ; he was also in the Nepaul War of 1814, 1815, and 1816, where he commanded a 38 OBITUART FOB DECEMBER AND JASUART. division of the army under Sir David Och- terlony's command. Lieutenant-General Nicol was Colonel of the 68th Regiment at the time of hia demise, which occurred at Clifton, near Bristol, on the 6th January. LADY PYNN. This unfortunate lady, whose recent and shocking death from being accidentally burnt alive in her sitting-room, occurred at Cheltenham, has caused such general grief, was the daughter of the late Mrs. Bruce Jackson, one of the leaders of the fashion- able world at Cheltenham some twenty years ago. She was married to Sir Henry Pynn, C.B., a distinguished officer in the British service, and formerly Lieutenant- Govcrnor of Valencia. EXSIGN GENERAL AUGUSTUS SANDFORD. The death of this accomplished gentle- man and gallant officer has excited feelings of no common regret. It arose from the excessive fatigues of the campaign in the Punjaub. Mr. Sandford, who had only just completed his twentieth year, was son of the Rev. John Sandford, vicar of Dun- church, nephew of the late Sir Daniel Keyte Sandford, and grandson of Dr. Sandford, Episcopalian Bishop of Edin- burgh. The family from which he derived the Sandfords of Sandford, in Shropshire, is one of the few in England that can trace an unbroken male descent from a Norman follower of the Conqueror. " It may not be, perhaps, very generally known (we quote from the Edinburgh Courant] that this young gentleman, who, had he been spared, could scarcely have failed to have risen to distinction, and fulfilled the most sanguine expectations his friends entertained of him, was the author of 'Leaves from the Journal of a Subaltern during the Campaign in the Punjaub,' published a month or two ago by the Messrs. Blackwood. These me- moranda, the gleanings of an observant eye, and the outpourings of a finely-toned and generous spirit, were jotted down, it appears, without the slightest view of ever being presented to the public eye; but, having been communicated piecemeal to his friends in England, were, without even his personal consent, transmitted to the columns of the Times, from the great in- terest exhibited at this period regarding the position of our Indian affairs, more es- pecially after the sanguinary battle of Chillianwallah, of which, as well as the previous battle of Ramnuggur, and the subsequent crowning victory of Goojerat, they contain a graphic and most animated account." Mr. Sandford was Ensign in tho 2nd Bengal ^European Regiment, to which he was appointed in 1848. VICE-ADMIRAL SCHOMBERG. This distinguished seaman was eldest son of the late Captain Sir A. Schomberg, R. N. His family is a branch of that of the Duke of Schomberg who commanded the King's troops, and fell at the battle of the Boyne, aged 80. The gallant Vice- Admiral entered the navy in April 1785, as Lieutenant of Solebay ; and he com- manded a body of 50 seamen, in conjunction with the army under Sir Charles Grey, during the operations against Martinique, St. Lucia, and Guadaloupe. He also served on shore when an attempt was made to re-conquer the posts in the island last- mentioned. His subsequent career du- ring the whole of the late war was gallant and glorious. After passing through tho different grades, he became a Vice-Ad- miral the 23rd Xov., 1841. Vice- Admiral Schomberg suggested to Lord Melville a plan much approved of at the time, although eight or nine years elapsed before any of his suggestions were adopted, for victualling the seamen and marines of the fleet, wherein he was the first to propose the substitution of tea, sugar, &c., for half the usual allowance of spirits. The Vice-Admiral married, first, Cathe- rine Anna, only surviving daughter of S. R. Stepney, Esq., of Castle Durrow, King's County, Ireland ; and secondly, 1st Oct., 1804, Anne, youngest daughter of the late Rear- Admiral R. Smith, of Poulton-cum- Scccombe, in Cheshire, whose mother had had the early care of King George III. By his first marriage he had one son, Herbert, a commander R.N. ; and by his second, two, the elder of whom, Frederick Charles, holds the same rank in the service ; the younger, George Augustus, is a first- lieutenant R.M.A. (1834). Vice-Admiral Schomberg died in the 75th year of his age. ROBERT SHEDDEN, ESQ. The family of Shedden, originally of Scottish origin, has long been honourably connected with the commercial pursuits of the City of London, and many of its mem- bers have acquired great wealth. William Shedden, Esq., a merchant, the father of the gentleman whose death we are about to record, was fourth son of Robert Shed- den, Esq., the head of the well-known London house of Shedden, and brother of George Shedden, Esq., of Paulerspury OBITUARY. JANUARY AND FEBRUARY. SIR FELIX BOOTH. Sir Felix Booth, Bart., of Portland- place, in the county of Middlesex, and Great Catworth, in the county of Huntingdon, was the third son of Philip Booth, Esq., of London, and was himself well known as an eminent and wealthy distiller. He served the office of Sheriff of London in 1828-29, and was, in 1834, hy William IV., who had personally known him for years, created a Baronet, with remainder, default his own male issue, to the heirs male of his elder brother, William Booth, Esq., of Raydon Hall, Essex. Sir Felix Booth was a person distin- guished for his peculiar activity and ability in matters of business. Besides his great malt distillery and rectifying establishment, he was engaged in a variety of successful enterprises. He took a prominent part in the foundation of the prosperous London Joint Stock Bank, and the establishment of the Brentford Gas-Works, About the time of his shrievalty he munificently provided out of his own private fortune a sum amounting to nearly 20,000 for Sir John Ross's expedition to the North Pole. Nor did his generosity stop here. During the many anxious months when the expe- dition could not be heard of, and fears were entertained of its loss, Sir Felix Booth supplied a weekly allowance (un- known to them from whom it came) to the wives of the sailors absent with Ross. In grateful recollection of his munificent pat- ron, Sir John Ross named the northern termination of the American continent, Boothia Felix. Sir Felix Booth died suddenly at the York Hotel, Brighton, on the 25th ult, of disease of the heart. As Sir Felix was unmarried, the title devolves on his nephew, now Sir Williamson Booth, Bart., the eldest son of the late Mr. Booth, of Raydon Hall, by his wife, Mary, daughter and co-heir of John Williamson, Esq. Sir Felix Booth dies generally and justly lamented. He was in every respect a princely citizen of London : his immens 1 wealth, acquired by his own industry, was devoted to the benefit or enjoyment of others. His disposition was amiable, and his habits were splendid : he took delight in hospitality, and in acts of kindness and charity. REAR-ADMIRAI, SIR JAMES JOHN GORDON BRE3IER, K.C.B. This gallant Naval Commander died on the 14th Feb., at his residence, the Priory, Compton, near Plymouth. He was only son of the late James Bremer, Esq., D.R.N. by Ann, his wife, daughter and co-heir of Captain James Norman, R.N., and grand- son of Captain James Bremer, R.N., a dis- tinguished Officer under Howe and Hawke. The Bremer family is of German extrac- tion. Sir Gordon was bom 26th Sept. 1 786, and was twice married. The following is a brief summary of his professional ser- vices. Sir James John Gordon Bremer entered the navy as first-class volunteer, in 1794, on board the Sandwich flag-ship, at the Nore, of Rear Admiral Skeffingdon Lutwidge, from which he was discharged in June, 1795 ; became Oct. 8, 1797, a stu- dent of the Royal Naval College, at Ports- mouth, and re-embarked April 8, 1802, as midshipman on board the Endymion, 40, Captain Phillip Charles Durham. He afterwards, until July, 1805, served in the Isis, 50, flag-ship, in succession of Yice- Admiral Sir James Gambier, and Rear- Admiral Edward Thornborough, on the Newfoundland and North Sea stations ; Windsor Castle, 98, and Defiance, 74, both commanded by Captain Durham, under whom he latterly saw much boat service in the Bay of Biscay ; and Prince George, 98, Captain George Losack. He was then (having but a short time previously passed his examination) appointed sub-lieutenant of the Rapid gun-brig, and on the 3rd of August, 1805, was made full lieutenant into the Captain, 74, Captain Stephens, part of the Hon. W. Cornwallis's force in his ensuing pursuit of the French fleet into Brest. On the 9th of May, 1806, he was appointed to the Diana, 38, Captain Thomas James Malings, on the Mediter- ranean station, whence he afterwards proceeded to Davis's Straits ; Oct. 6, 1806, to the Imogene, 16, Captain Thomas Garth, in the Mediterranean ; and May 28, 1827, to the Psyche, 36, Captain William Wood- ridge, stationed in the East Indies, where he was advanced, on the 13th of Oct. fol- lowing, to the command of the Rattlesnake, 18. Returning to England early in 1810, Captain Bremcr, on the 13th of August, 1812, joined the Bermuda, of 10 guns, in h 42 OBITUARY FOR JANUARY AMD FEBRUARY. which sloop, when in company with the Dwarf and Pioneer, he captured, on the llth of September, 1812, off Boulogne, Le Bon Genie, of 16 guns and 60 men ; and on the 1st of Jan. 1813, he assumed the command of the Royalist, 18. While in that vessel he took four large American schooners, and aided at the capture of four others ; was also present, and bore a very conspicuous part, at the gallant defence of Castro, when besieged in May, 1813, by a French army of at least 10,000 men. On the 21st of October following he co- operated with the Scylla, 18, at the cap- ture in sight of the Rippon, of the French frigate, Le Weser, of 40 guns, and 340 men, after a severely con- tested action, and a loss to the Royalist of two killed and nine wounded; and in April, 1814, participated in the operations at the entrance of the river Gironde, under Rear- Admiral Charles Vinicombe Penrose, He was nominated a C.B. on the 4th of June, 1815, and subsequently appointed, on the 29th of August, 1815, to the Lee, on the Irish station ; on the 30th of May, 1816, to the Comus, 28, inwhichhewas wrecked on a reef of rocks off St. Shotts, Newfound- land. In February, 1824, he was sent to establish a colony in Melville Island, Australia, whence he afterwards proceeded to India, and there joined in the closing scenes of the Burmese war. On the 25th of Jan., 1836, he was created a K, C H. ; and on the 12th of July, 1837, appoint- ed to the Alligator, 28 guns. After again visiting New Holland, and founding the settlement of Port Essington as it at present exists, he once more arrived in India, where, on the death of Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland, in December, 1839, he became Commander-in-Chief, and continued to discharge all the duties of that important post until October, 1841, latterly with his broad pendant in the Wellesley, 72. He left Singapore in 1840, on the mission of triumph and glory in China, until the final capture of Chusan in 1841, Her Majesty testified her gracious approbation of his valour in conflict and his discretion as her plenipotentiary in council by conferring on him the dignity of a K.C.B. He was subsequently Commodore- Superintendent of Woolwit-h Dockyard, until he retired, on the 13th of November, 1848, and attained the rank of Rear-Admiral on the 15th of September, 1849, A good service pension becomes vacant by his decease. TAT>Y AXNE HARRIET CHICHESTER. This venerable lady, the third daughter of John, seventh Earl of Galloway, by Anne his wife, daughter of Sir James Dashwood, Bart., was born Nov. 2, 1769, and had, consequently, at the period of her decease, completed her 80th year. She married, Augusts, 1795, Lord Spencer Stanley Chichester, second son of the first Marquis of Donegal, and by his Lordship, who died in 1819, had issue two sons, both deceased, and three daughters, of whom one only survives, Elizabeth Dowager Lady Bateman. The eldest son, Arthur, was elevated to the peerage as Baron Tem- plemore, in 1831, and died in 1837, leaving a son, Henry Spencer, present Lord. SIK EIGGS FALKIXER, BART. The death of this Baronet occurred on the 25th January, in Regent- street, London. He was the eldest son of the late Sir Samuel Falkiner, Bart., of Ann Mount, co. Cork, by Sarah his wife, daughter of Charles Leslie, M.D. ; and grandson of Sir Riggs Falkiner, on whom the title was conferred in 1777. At the period of his decease he had attained his sixtieth year. Leaving no issue, he is succeeded by his brother, now Sir Charles Leslie Falkiner, fourth Baronet. FRANCIS-GODOLPHEtf OSBORXE, LORD GODOLPHIX. His Lordship was second son of Francis- Godolphin, 5th Duke of Leeds, by Amelia, his wile, dau. and heir of Robert, Earl of Holdemesse, and grandson of Thomas, 4th Duke, by Mary, his wife, dau. and heir of Francis, Earl of Godolphin. The Peerage he enjoyed was conferred upon him 14th May,1832. His Lordship born 18th October, 1777, married 31st March 1800, Elizabeth Charlotte, dau. of William 1st Lord Auck- land, and by her (who died 17th April, 1847) had four sons, and one daughter. LORD JEFFREY. Francis Jeffery was the eldest son of the late Mr. George Jeffrey, who held the office of an under clerk in the Court of Session in Scotland, and whose wife was Henrietta, daughter of Mr. Loudoun, of Lanarkshire. He was born in a portion of the Old Town of Edinburgh, called the Lawn-market, on the 23rd of October, 1773, not far from the spot where Hume, the historian, was also born, and received the early portion of his education at the High School in his native city ; in the year 1787, he went to the University of Glasgow; here he remained till 1791, in which year he was admitted to Queen's College, Oxford. Throughout his school and university studies, his industry and talents were strikingly apparent; and he entered upon life with brilliant prospects. Soon after he had fixed his residence in Edinburgh, his political predilections be- came developed on the popidar side. The Speculative Society, and the Select Society, in which Lord Brougham and Francis OBITUARY FOR JANUARY AND FEBRUARY. 43 Horner took active parts, witnessed the early trials of Jeffrey's yet immature talents. In the debates of those associa- tions his speeches were almost as much distinguished by brilliancy of imagination and felicity of expression, as even the more elaborate and better considered pro- ductions of his middle age. The great distinction by which Francis Jeffrey will be known to posterity, is, that for more than a quarter of a century he conducted the Edinburgh Review. Of his connexion with this celebrated work, we find the following interesting record by the Rev. Sydney Smith : " When first I went into the Church I had a curacy in the middle of Salisbury Plain. The squire of the parish took a fancy to me, and requested me to go with his son to reside at the University of Weimar ; before we could get there, Ger- many became the seat of war, and in stress of politics we put in to Edinburgh, where I remained five years. The principles of the French Eevolution were then fully afloat, and it is impossible to conceive a more violent and agitated state of society. Among the first persons with whom I be- came acquainted were Lord Jeffrey, Lord Murray (late Lord- Advocate for Scotland), and Lord Brougham; all of them main- taining opinions upon political subjects a little too liberal for the dynasty of Dundas, then exercising supreme power over the northern division of the island. One day we happened to meet in the eighth or ninth story or flat in Buccleugh-place, the elevated residence of the then Mr. Jeffrey. I proposed that we should set up a Review ; this was acceded to with acclamation. I was appointed editor, and remained long enough in Edinburgh to edit the first number of the Edinburgh Review. The motto I proposed for the Review was ' Tenui musam meditamur avena ' We cultivate literature upon a little oatmeal. But this was too near the truth to be ad- mitted, and so we took our present grave motto from Publius Syrus, of whom none of us had, I am sure, ever read a single line : and so began what has since turned out to be a very important and able journal. When I left Edinburgh it feU into the stronger hands of Lord Jeffrey and Lord Brougham, and reached the highest point of popularity and success." Lord Brougham soon followed Smith to London, when the sole responsibility and much of the fame of the editorship fell to the share of Francis Jeffrey. He was more concerned in the literature than in the politics of the Edinburgh Review; in its philosophy and metaphysics, its taste and criticism, its light literature and poetical dogmas, than in those weighty affairs to which Mackintosh, Smith, and Brougham, in its earlier years ; or Mac- aulay, Hallam, Brown, and Playfair, in its more recent days, have contributed the weight of their learning and eloquence. Nothing could exceed the versatility of Jeffrey's critical acquirements. " At one time he was," says a contemporary, "found examining the nature and principles of taste; next the miscellaneous works of Jonathan Swift ; then the writings of Madame de Stael and Samuel Richardson, or Victor Alfieri, and the life of Christopher Columbus ; then the dramatic works of John Ford, the characters of Shakspeare's plays, the poetry of Burns, Campbell, Scott, Crabbe, Rogers, Moore, Southey, Words- worth, and Henians. In a succeeding quarter, perhaps, he would engage the attention of his readers with the philosophy of Reid or Priestly, of Drummond or I)u- gald Stewart ; and with the novel-writers of the age amongst whom the author of 'Waverley' necessarily occupied his pen and stimulated his powers of investigation he dealt by the score or hundred." Lord Jeffrey has left us a precise account of the share he took in the management of the Review. In the preface to his contri- butions, reprinted from that journal at the close of 1843, he says " I wrote the first article in the first number of the Review in October, 1802; and sent my last con- tribution to it in October, 1840 ! It is a long period to have persevered in well or in ill doing! But I was by no means equally alert in the service during all the intermediate time. I was sole editor from 1803 till late in 1829; and, during that period, was no doubt a large and regular contributor." On his election to the office of Dean of the Faculty of Advocates, Lord Jeffrey withdrew at once and altogether from the management. He wrote nothing for the Review for a considerable time sub- sequent to 1829 ; and in fourteen years sent but four papers to the work, none of them on political subjects. Among the less agreeable records of Lord Jeffrey's connexion with the Review, are his duel with Mr. Moore, the poet; and the lines to which it gave rise in Lord Byron's " English Bards and Scotch Reviewers." The forensic career of Lord Jeffrey was slow, but sure. He was admitted an ad- vocate of the Scottish bar in 1794. For some years he had to bear that delay in his advancement which so many members of his arduous profession have to undergo, and which perseverance and real ability can alone surmount. Once past this pro- bation, and due opportunity afforded him, he gave sound proof of his merit, and took his station among the most eminent of Scotland's lawyers. 44 OBITUARY FOR JANUARY AND FEBRUARY. In 1821, Mr. Jeffrey was chosen Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow ; and in 1828, Dean of the Faculty of Advocates. On the accession of the Whigs to power in 1830, Mr. Jeffrey became Lord Advo- cate : he had previously taken his seat in Parliament, first for a Scottish borough, and then for Malton. He afterwards re- presented the city of Edinburgh. Like many eminent counsel, he made no great effect in the House, which may have pro- bably resulted from the overwrought anti- cipations that his prior fame had led per- sons to form. In 1834, Mr. Jeffrey as- cended the judicial bench as a Lord of Session ; and, according to the rational custom of Scotland, which will have a Judge called a Lord both in and out of the court, he assumed the titular designation of Lord Jeffrey. As a Judge, Jeffrey was in his element again; his reputation spread far and wide, and his court was crowded with suitors. The ermine sat gracefully upon one of such diligence, integrity, and knowledge ; and the sun of his brilliancy as an advocate and writer, set in the sub- dued but sterling splendour of his excel- lence as a Lord of Scotland's justiciary. Lord Jeffery was married twice ; first, in the year 1802, to Catharine, daughter of the Rev. Dr. Wilson, of St. Andrew's ; and secondly, in the year 1813, to Charlotte, daughter of Mr. Charles Wilkes, of Xew York, and grand-niece of the well-known Alderman John Wilkes, of London. He died on the 2nd of February, in the 77th year of his age. THE DOWAGER COUNTESS OF PLYMOUTH. Ann, Countess Dowager of Plymouth, who died at her house, in Brook-street, on the 30th January, in her 76th year, was daughter of Thomas Copson, Esq., and widow of Henry, eighth and last Earl of Plymouth, to whom she was married 12th July, 1798, and by whom she had no issue. WILLIAM RUSSELL, ESQ., OF BRAXCEPETH CASTLE, FORMERLY M.P. FOR THE COUNTY OF DURHAM. William Russell, Esq., died on the 30th January, at his splendid seat Brancepeth Castle, Durham. He was M.P. for that entire county in three Parliaments, prior to the Reform Act, for which he constantly voted, making thereby a larger individual sacrifice of borough iaterest, and political power thence arising, than any other com- moner. He was the only son of the late Matthew Russell, Esq., of Brancepeth, M. P. for Saltash, by Elizabeth his wife, sister of the Right Hon. Charles Tennyson D'Eyn- court,M.P., of Bayons Manor, and grandson of William Russell, Esq., one of the most opulent coal and landed proprietors in England. He it was who purchased Brance- peth, and formed the magnificent project of restoring to its pristine splendour that long neglected Castle of the Nevilles a task which his age denied to him the accom- plishment of, but which he bequeathed to his son, the late Matthew Russell, Esq., who proved himself well worthy of the trust, and under whose auspices arose the present noble structure, inferior to few others in the north of England. The gen- tleman whose death we are recording, suc- ceeded to the estates in 1822. He has died unmarried, and his Castle of Brancepeth, with his extensive estates, devolves on his only sister, the Hon. Mrs. Hamilton, who married the Hon. Gustavus Frederick Hamilton, only son of Viscount Boyne ; of which marriage there is issue one son, Gustavus Russell Hamilton, now at Oxford. SIR WILLIAM JOHN STRUTH, KNT. Sir William died at Bognor on the 1st February, aged 87. He was formerly a resident of Bristol, and in 1815 filled the office of Mayor, on which occasion he received the honour of knighthood. THE COUNTESS OF WEMYSS AND MARCH. Margaret Countess of Weruyss wife of Francis, present Earl, died at Gosford House (his Lordship's seat), near Had- dington, on the 25th Jan. Her Ladyship was fourth daughter of the late Walter Campbell, Esq., of Shawfield, sister of Ladies Ruthven and Belhaven, and aunt of the late Countesses of Uxbridge and Charleville. Her marriage with Lord Wemyss (then Lord Elcho) took place in 1794, and its issue consists of one surviving son, Francis Lord Elcho, and four surviving daughters Lady Charlotte Fletcher of Saltoun, Lady Harriet Suttie, Lady Jane and Lady Caroline, both unmarried. There were one other son, Walter, and five daughters, who are deceased. Of the latter, the eldest, LadyEleanor, married her cousin, Walter Frederick Campbell, Esq., of Shawfield and Islay ; Lady Margaret was the wife of Lieut.-Col. John Wildman ; Lady Katherine married Lord Grey, of Groby ; and Lady Louisa- Antoinetta, William Forbes, Esq., M.P., of Callendar. CREATIONS. 28 Feb. I860.

East India Company's Service, and at- tached to the Bombay army, may be remembered as having been instrumental, by his courage and energy, in saving many lives when the Great Liverpool was wrecked in March, 1846, off the coast of Corunna.

He continually, in their favour, took part in all public affairs ; and throughout his life waa staunch to the principles he adopted. In 1818 Mr Gibson assumed the addi- tional surname and arms of Craig, pur- suant to the provisions of the entail made by Robert Craig, of Riccarton. During bis political career, Mr. Gibson Craig, figured in the famous but fatal ballad against the Whigs, published in 1822 by Sir Alex- ander Boswell, who, in consequence was shot in a duel by Mr Stuart, of Dunearn.

On Tuesday evening, the 19th March, an accident occurred near to the village of Hungarton, which was attended with a fatal result to the young gentleman who was the unfortunate subject of it. It appears that the Baron Langen, who, for some time past, has occupied the hall at llatcliffe, and it is stated is attached to the Prussian, embassy in this country, was taking a drive with his family in the neighbourhood of Hungarton. The party consisted of the Baron, his wife, and the lady's father. A groom on horseback was with them, and with him rode, on his pony, a fine little boy, nine years old, the baron's only child. Near the entrance to Hungarton, on the Quenby-road, the pony took fright at a man on horse- back, which passed the party rapidly, and started off suddenly at full speed. The child soon lost his seat, and falling to the ground with great force, was dragged in the stirrup some distance, his head striking with violence the high road, and the groom believes that he was also struck more than once by the hind feet of the animal. On being taken up occasional breathing was the only sign of life, and veiy feeble action of the heart. Surgeons were immediately sent for, and Mr. Dally, his assistant, and Mr. Robinson, from Syston, were soon on the spot, but without avail, as life was extinct within half an hour afterwards. There were two separate fractures of the skull, each of which was mortal. The body was removed the same night to llat- cliffe Hall. The pony was a remarkably quiet one. An inquest was held on the body, and a verdict of Accidental Death returned. THE DEAN OF LEIGHLIN . The Hon. and Very Reverend Richard Boyle Bernard, D.D., Dean, of Lcighlin, was the second son of Francis, first Vis- coirnt Bernard, and Earl of Bandon, by his wife, Catherine Henrietta, only daugh- ter of Richard, second Earl of Shannon. He was born the 4th September, 1787 ; and having, after the usual preliminary education, taken holy orders, he devoted himself during the rest of his life to an ar- dent and assiduous performance of his sacred functions. He was a man of most expansive and general charity; on one occasion he gave 1000 to forward the ob- jects of the Church Education Society. Dr. Bernard was Rector of Wells, in Ire- land, and also Dean of Leighlin. This estimable dignitary died of fever on the 1st instant: he is succeeded in his deanery by the Very Rev. H. W. Tighe, Dean of the Chapel Royal, and first Chaplain to the Lord- Lieutenant. The family of Dean Bernard that of Bernard, Earls of Bandon is one of the oldest in this realm : it came originally from Normandy, and settled in the sister isle in the time of Henry II. In the reign of Queen Anne, Francis Bernard, the then head of the house, attained legal eminence in Ireland, by becoming her Majesty's Prime Serjeant and Solicitor-General, and afterwards a Judge of the Court of Com- mon Pleas. The present and second Earl of Bandon is the eldest brother of the late Dean.

WILLIAM SMITH NEILL, ESQ., OF HAKNWEILI. AND SAVINDHICEMI'IH. The death of this gentleman, Lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Regiment of Ayrshire Militia, occurred on the 22nd March. The Ncills of Barnweill derive descent from a cadet of the Me Ncills of Barra, who settled in Ayrshire about the middle of the 16th century, and acquired the lauds of Town- head, Monkton, and others in the vicinity of Prestwick, part of which are still in the family. Lieut. Col. Smith-Neill was a Magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant of his county, and a Commissioner of Supply. He succeeded to Barnweill at the death of his father, James Neill, Esq., in 1799, and to Swind- rigemuir and Kersland, at the death of his maternal uncle, John Smith, Esq., in 1838.

OCHLEXSCHLAGER, Ochlenschlager, * the poet of two na- tions, Danes and Germans, was born on the 14th of November, 1779, in one of the suburbs of Copenhagen. His father followed the professions of his forefathers, namely, those of an organist and school- master : his mother was Martha Maria Hanson. Our poet began to make verses at nine years old, and even at this early age he wrote short comedies for private theatricals, in which the chief performers were himself, his sister, and a friend. These and other similar attempts acted upon his mind, and created the wish to go upon the stage. It was nothing either remarkable or extraordinary at that time, for educated young men, and even those of good family, to try their fortune in this line, and'fcot only was this the case in Copenhagen, but in Germany also, as we read in the classical portion of the periodin Wilhelm Meister. Thus at * From the style in which this sketch is writ- ten, we need hardly tell our readers that it is from a foreign and compatriot pen ; but we have not thought it would improve it to correct UK language into more accurate English. 1 7 years old, Ochlenschlager became an actor- In four great characters lie appeared, namely, in Schroder's Ensiyn, Torheii Ochs's Dyweke, in Todc's play the Ma- rine Officer, and in KotzebuVs " Poverty and Generosity " Cederstrom ; hut ad- mits in his " Autobiography " that none of these characters, with the exception, perhaps, of the last, suited his inclina- tions. He soon found that the stage was not exactly what he was striving for, and he abandoned a pursuit which did not harmonise with his spirit, and exchanged it first for the study of law, and latterly for general literature. It was at the University that Ochlenschlager first became acquainted with Goethe's and Schiller's works, and the writings of other German authors. We pass over this period, the transitory epoch of his life, as also over the time of war, when Nelson and Parker appeared be- fore Copenhagen and bombarded it, which Ochlciischlagcr describes minutely in his life. In 1805, he left Copenhagen with 15 in his pocket and the expectation of receiving a travelling stipend from the Danish Government, which was afterwards granted him. He visited Halle, Berlin, Weimar where he met the heroes of Ger- man letters Dresden, Vienna, Paris. In Paris, his dramatic soul became active, and his tragedy, " Palnasoke," was there com- posed, which earned him deserved praise. From Paris he went to Switzerland, to Coppet, and Geneva. At Coppct, the place of so many beautiful recollections, he stayed at Madame de Stael's residence. Delightful acquaintances, amongst the most important of which was A. W. Schlegel, acted powerfully upon his genius, and im- pelled him to greater undertakings in dra- matic literature. He spent a winter in Coppct, an invalu- able winter, which gave his whole life the true cast of his aspiring muse, and in the spring he journeyed into Italy, visited Turin, Milan, Bologna, Florence, Rome. In the eternal city of poetry and art he composed his great and master work, " Cor- rcggio." "Correggio" is what the Ger- mans term a " kuiistler-drama," in which the idea of Art itself is placed in action. Nothing could have been more happy nothing more appropriate nothing more dramatic, than the " Life of Antonio Cor- reggio" a life which may truly be termed the tragedy of Art ; and Ochlenschlager felt and made it such. The tragedy is sim- ple in structure: in its simplicity grand, noble, classical. After the return of Och- lenschlager to Copenhagen, he met with OBITUARY FOR FEBRUARY AND MARCH. 49 esteem and acknowledgment fr his genius : his works were now acted on the stage. In the winters of 1810-1829, he lectured at the University of Copenhagen on Schiller, Goethe, Shakspeare, Calderon, Sophocles, Holberg, Lcssing, Tieck, on German and Danish poets generally, on Xorsk mytho- logy, the ancient ballads, and romantic literature. In 1827, he was installed as Professor at the University, in which capa- city he lived a life of study and noble en- deavour. Ochlenschlager's earliest works were composed in Danish, but translated, or, rather, transplanted, by himself into the German language. Germany acknowledged in him the true poet, and gave him a place in her own literature. Most of his composi- tions bear the stamp of the elements and country of his birth. Northern Mythology and the Sagas, those romantic regions, an inexhaustible mine of poetry and fancy, opened to his mind and imagination its gates and gave him matter for his works, the most important of which are " Hakon Taii" (1809), "Correggio," " Palnasoke," " Hagbarth and Signe," " Erioh and Abel." These were followed by his dramatic poems of "Aladin," " Die Ludlamshohle," "Treias Altar," and " Der Hirtenknabe." His lyri- cal compositions, as well as his novel " Die Insel Felscnburg," however praiseworthy, do not reach in value his dramatic produc- tions, for the latter of which ho possessed high qualities and genius. His "Autobio- graphy" is a piece of simple and beautiful writing ; it brings the man before us as he was, 'with his fine feelings, noble efforts, and his earnestness of character and pur- pose. Ochlenschlnger lived and died a true poet, esteemed as a man, a sincere friend, an affectionate father, and a classical writer both of Denmark and Germany. He died on the 28th of January, 1850. SIR HERCULES PAKEXHAM, K.C.B. Major-General the Hon. Sir Hercules Rowley Pakcnham, K.C.B. was the third son of Edward Michael, second Lord Long- ford, by his wife Catherine, second daugh- ter of the Right Hon. Hercules Longford Rowley. He was born the 29th Sept. 1781; and having entered the British'army early in life, he earned a high character as an officer in the Peninsular War, and served throughout all its campaigns . he was at Roleia, Vimicra, Busaco, Fuentes d'Onor, and Ciudad llodrigo, and was twice severely wounded. He became a Major-General the 10th January, 1837, and was made a K.C.B. in 1838. 'in 1844 he- obtained the Colonelcy of the 43d regi- ment of foot. Subsequently to his seces- sion from active service, he was appointed Governor of Portsmouth. Latterly he lived in retirement with his family, at his seat on the banks of Lough Neagh. Sir Hercules married, in 1817, Emily, fourth daughter of Thomas Lord Le Despencer, by whom he leaves issue six sons and three daughters: his eldest son is a Captain in the Grenadier Guards and his eldest daugh- ter is the wife of Sir Edmund Hays, Bart. Sir Hercules Pakenham died suddenly on the 7th, at his seat, Longford Lodge, An- trim. The gallant General was uncle of the present Earl of Longford, the son of his eldest brother. His next brother was the distinguished Major-General Sir Ed- ward Pakcnham, who fell at New Orleans ; and his second sister, who died in 1831, was wife of the Duke of Wellington. MISS PAUL. A lamentable occurrence took place in the family of Walter Paul, Esq., of High- grove, near Tetbury, on the evening of the 13th. Mr. Paul gave a ball and soiree previous to his son, Captain Paul, leaving home to join his regiment. At about nine o'clock Miss Paul retired from the ball-room, having an attack of tic-doxi- leureux; she proceeded up stairs to her own room. It is supposed that she fainted as she proceeded from one room to the other, the lighted candle fell from her hand, and her dress, being composed of white lace, rapidly ignited, and the young lady was instantly enveloped in flames. She endeavoured to extinguish the fire by throw- ing a basin of water over herself, and her screams alarmed the attendants; but we are sorry to say that before their efforts could subdue the flames, she was so se- verely burnt, as to leave but faint hopes of her recovery, and she died on the following Sunday. SIR WILLIAM PHILIPPS LAUGHARNE PHILIPPS, BT. The decease of Sir William occurred at Haverfordwest, on the 18th February. He was male heir and representative of the very ancient and eminent hoiise of Philipps, of Picton Castle, co Pembroke, which derived its descent from Cadivor ap Col- hoyn, Lord of Dyfcd, called, from his extensive possessions, Cadivor- Yawr, or the Great. The Baronetcy was conferred in 1621, on Sir John Philipps, and con- tinued to be inherited by the senior line of his descendants, until the decease, in 1823, of Sir Richard Philipps, Lord Milford, when the Baronetcy reverted to the male heir Sir Rowland Henry Laugharne Philipps, elder brother and predecessor of the Baronet whose death we record. The Picton Castle estates devolved, however, 50 OBITUARY FOR FEBRUARY AND MARCH. on tho heir of line, and are now enjoyed by Richard Bulkeley, Lord Milford. " Sir William -was born 2nd Oct., 1794, and married 13th Oct., 1829, Elizabeth, daughter of George "White, Esq., by whom he leaves a son, Sir Godwin, the present Baronet, bom 10th January, 1840, and four daughters, Sarah, Elizabeth, Lilla, Lavinia, and Charlotte. THE COITfTESS OF SCARBOROUGH. Anna Mariai, Countess of Scarborough, widow of John, seventh Earl, died on the 17th March, aged 84. Her Ladyship was daughter of Julian Herring, Esq. She married Lord Scarborough in 1785, and lias left surviving issue one son, John, pre- sent Peer; and two daughters, Louisa- Frances, wife of the Rev. Thomas Gator : and Henrietta-Barbara, married first to the Rev. Frederick Manners Sutton, and se- condly to John Lodge Ellerton, Esq. JAMES BA11NWELL TATTNALL, ESQ., COM- MANDER, ROYAL NAVY. The eventful life of this officer termi- nated on the 7th Feb., at his residence, 9, Woodside Crescent, Glasgow. He entered the navy in 1803, and was soon after em- ployed in the Pallas, under Lord Cochrane, wherein he gained distinction by his gal- lantry and good conduct. In Dec., 1806, shortly after he had been removed with Lord Cochrane to the Imperieuse, he was placed in charge of a prize in the Bay of Biscay, and sent to England. On his pas- sage, however, he was driven by stress of weather under the island of Belleisle, and captured by a force sent for that purpose from the shore. His detention at Verdun continued for three years, until he suc- ceeded at length in effecting his escape in the disguise of a woman, and reaching Os- tend, whence he was conveyed, by a smug- gler, to the English fleet. Subsequently, in 1810, he was nominated Acting Lieute- nant of the St. 1'ierre ; and in the follow- ing year, while in the Racehorse, partici- pated in the capture of the Renoinonee and the Nereide,. In 1813, ho commanded the boats of the President, at the taking of the island of Santa Clara; and, in 1814, having proceeded to America, headed the Tonnanfs boats at the destruction of Commodore Barney's flotilla up the Patuxent. Not long after, Lieutenant Tattnall was most gallantly distinguished at the capture of five American gun-boats, and was highly commended by his superior officer. Hi's rank as Commander bore date in 1819. MRS. WALLACK. This venerable lady, the mother of the two popular actors, Mr. James and Mr. Henry Wallack, died at the advanced age of ninety. Her maiden name was Field, and she belonged to a highly respect- able family in Yorkshire, all the male branches of which were in the navy. Her brother George was purser on board some of our most famous frigates and first- rates, and his son commanded a gun-brig during the war with France. The present actor, Mr. Henry Wallack, served with him as midshipman. Mrs. Wallack was the daughter of the celebrated Mrs. Booth, who also married twice. She was a member of the Drury-lane company, as Mrs. Granger, at the time of Garrick's retirement, and after three years of widowhood married Mr. William Wallack. Mr. James Wal- lack, of the Haymarket Theatre, is the youngest of her children. For the last thirty years that gentleman has had the great happiness of arranging the comforts of her later days, and witnessing her en- joyment of a tranquil and happy life. She was buried at Kensal-Grcen, by the side of Mr. Wallack' s son. OBITUARY. MARCH AND APRIL. LIEUT. -GENERAL SIR JAMES BATHURST, K.C.B. This eminent officer was the son of the late Dr. Bathurst, Bishop of Norwich, by his wife Grace, the sister of Henry Charles, Lord Castlecoote. He entered the army in 1794, as Ensign in the 70th Foot, and served in Gibraltar, the West Indies, Egypt, the campaign in Poland, the sieges of Stralsand and Copenhagen. He was afterwards in the Peninsula, and was pre- sent at the battles of Roleia, Vimiera, Co- runna, Talavera, and Busaco. He also filled the office of Military Secretary to the Duke of Wellington. He was latterly Governor of the Garrison of Berwick. Ge- neral Bathurst was created a Knight Com- mander of the Bath in 1831. He married, in 1815, Caroline, elder daughter of the first Earl of Castle Stuart. Sir James Bathurst died on the 13th April, aged 68, at the residence of his kinsman, the Rev. E. Bathurst, M.A., of Kilworth, Beau- champ, Leicestershire. WILLIAM BEER. William Beer, a well-known savan, was a native of Prussia, and brother of the fa- mous author of " Le Prophete." William Beer early in life served in the army ; but, having attained the rank of lieutenant, he quitted the pride and pomp of war for the peaceful occupation of assisting his father in his business as a merchant, and of de- voting his leisure hours to the study of as- tronomy and the acquirement of other scientific knowledge. He became, in time, one of the first astronomers of the age. His celebrated Map of the Moon, " Mappa Selenographica," constructed by him and Maedler, received the approbation of most of the learned men and societies of Europe. The Paris Academy of Science awarded their Lalande prize to the authors. Messrs. Beer and Maedler jointly published many other eminent works, amongthem the " Ge- neral Compared Selenography." M. Beer obtained honours and crosses from various Sovereigns of Europe ; and his firm adherence to his own government, in his position of Municipal Councillor, in 1848, procured for him a seat in the First Prussian Chamber. He was also Vice- President of the Chamber of Commerce of Berlin. M. Beer died recently at Berlin, at the age of 53. THE REV.LORD FREDERICK BEAUCLERK, D.D. His Lordship was fourth son of Aubrey, fifth Duke of St. Albans, by Catherine his wife, daughter of William Earl of Bess- borough. He was vicar of Redbourne and St. Michael's, in St. Albans, Herts. His death occurred at his residence, in Gros- venor-street, on the 22nd of April. He married, 26th June, 1813, Charlotte, daughter of Charles, twelfth Viscount Dillon, and has left two sons and two daughters. THE REV. JOHN ROWLAND BERKELEY, OF COTHERIDGE, CO. WORCESTER. The death of this respected gentleman, the descendant of the ancient and eminent house of Berkeley, of Cotheridge, occurred a short time since. Mr. Berkeley was el- dest son of the late Rev. Rowland Berke- ley, L.L.D., rector of Writtle, in Essex, and succeeded to the family estates at the decease of his cousin, in 1840. He inhe- rited also the distinguished honour of quartering, in his armorial shield, the Royal arms of Plantagenet, being sixteenth in a direct descent from King Edward I. Never having married, he is succeeded by his brother William. THE REV WILLIAM LISLE BOWLES. The family from which this distin- guished poet descended is one of some note. It springs from John Bowles, of Bristol, who was living in 1460 ; and whose great- grandson, Rowland Bowles, a volunteer under Sir Thomas Arundel, at the siege of Gran, in Hungary, in 1595, received on that occasion the honour of knighthood, and the addition of the crescent to his arms. The poet counted Sir Isaac Newton among his nearest relatives ; his own immediate parentage were clergymen for two genera- tions ; his grandfather was vicar of Brack- ley, in Northumberland; his father was also in orders ; he was himself the eldest of seven children. One of his nephews is the present Mr. Justice Erie. William Lisle Bowles, such was the k 52 OBITUARY FOR MARCH AND APRIL. poet's name, received his education at Winchester School, where he was placed in 1776. In five years he rose to be senior hoy of that seminary, and won the particu- lar notice and favour of the then master, Dr. Warton. Bowles, while at Trinity College, Oxford, obtained the Chancellor's prize for a Latin poem on the siege of Gibraltar. In 1792 he took his degree of M.A. ; and his father dying, he quitted Oxford, entered into holy orders, and be- came a curate in Wiltshire. In 1797, Mr. Bowles married a daughter of Dr. Wake, Prebendary of Westminster, which proved a most fortunate and happy union. Lord Somers presented him soon after his mar- riage, with the living of Dumbledon, in Gloucestershire. In 1803 he was made a prebendary, and afterwards a canon of Sa- lisbury Cathedral ; and from Archbishop Moore he obtained the rectory of Bremhill, a beautiful and romantic spot, which he subsequently rendered famous in his verse. Bremhill is near Devizes, and near also to Bowood, the seat of the Marquis of Lans- downe, and to Sloperton Cottage, the resi- dence of another, alas ! now scarcely living poet, the illustrious Moore. The life of Bowles, like that of country clergymen in general, has been little diversified by inci- dents. One of the only occasions in which he came before the public in any other than a poetic or literary character, was as a magistrate of the county of Wilts, when he did good service to the cause of human- ity by energetically and effectually remon- strating against a sentence of unparalleled severity inflicted by a fellow magistrate on an unfortunate woman, for a very trifling theft. His conduct at the time met with the approbation of Lord Lansdowne, then Home Secretary ; as well as with that of every thinking and honourable mind. Bowles's first publication was his " Son- nets," brought out, according to the fashion of the day, in quarto, in 1789. These were followed by "Verses on Howard's Description of Prisons," "The Grave of Howard," and " The Sorrows of Switzer- land." " The Spirit of Discovery," pro- bably his best work, came out in 1805. His edition of Pope, which gave rise to the celebrated controversy, was published in ten volumes, in 1810. Bowles in this edition advanced certain doctrines respect- ing the " invariable principles" of poetry, which, if admitted, tended to lessen Pope's reputation as a poet. With the truth or fallacy of these principles, the whole fame of that great poet was connected. Camp- bell first began the controversy on behalf of Pope ; Byron also took the same view ; while a host of pamphleteers on both si.lus of the question, completely occupied the public attention, and kept alive the literary warfare. After a long contest, the combat may be said to have ended in a drawn bat- tle." This renowned dispute, however, did infinite credit to the talent and perseverance of Bowles, who disputed the ground inch by inch, and was not dismayed by the lofty names and widely-extended fame of some of his antagonists. Bowles wrote much both in verse and prose. His poetry, always good, in style and pure in sentiment, bears the stamp of a virtuous and reflective mind ; its deficiency lies in the absence of passion, or the stronger emotions of the heart: it has all the elegant evenness and cold correctness of the scholar, but elevation and novelty of thought are wanting. Nevertheless, the poems of Bowles will ever afford pleasure and satisfaction to the reader, whose kind- lier feelings and social affections they will not fail to move and engage in their favor. The " History of Bremliill," his " History of Lacock Abbey," and last, not least, his delightful " Hermes Britannicus," are works, which alone would establish for him a lasting reputation. In private life Mr. Bowles was much beloved ; he was a man thoroughly amiable and virtiious ; the plea- santness of his manner, and the varied ex- tent of his information, gave a charm to his society which few could resist, and which made him an universal favourite. Bremhill, his charming residence, formed a centre of attraction to a circle which in- cluded some of the highest in rank, and the greatest in talent of the age. To numbers, indeed, high and low, came, with heartfelt sorrow, the news, some years ago, that this gentle poet was gradually sinking, under the accumulation of years, into a state of mental and bodily imbecility. From that condition the Rev. Canon never rallied ; he died on the 13th April, in the 88th year of his age. Bowles may be truly lamented as a poet of many virtues, and " to each fine feeling true." JOHX C. CALHOUN, ESQ. This eminent American lawyer and statesman was born in 17S2. He was the descendant of an Irish family, which emi- grated to America when his father was about three years old. He was educated at Sale College, where he graduated, in 1804, with distinguished honours ; and, after studying the law at the celebrated Law School in Litchfield, Connecticut, he was admitted to the bar in 1 807. As an advocate he rapidly attained high celebrity and large OBITUARY FOR MARCH AND APRIL. 53 emoluments. He was elected a member of Congress in 1810; in 1817 he was ap- pointed Secretary-at-War , and in 1824 he was chosen Yice-President of the United States, an office which he filled a second time in 1828, and which he finally resigned in 1832 ; he was then returned to the Senate by the Legislature of South Caro- lina. In 1844 he became Secretary of State, and so remained until the close of President Tyler's administration. After that he was re-chosen senator, and continued in the office until his death, which took place on the 31st March. Mr. Calhoun enjoyed in America a reputation for vigour, boldness, and independence un- surpassed by any of his fellow statesmen. For more than forty years his name has been a leading one in American politics, and he ranked, in his influence over the destinies of his country, with Clay, Ben- ton, and Webster. In all the relations of private life Calhoun's character was be- yond reproach. The loss of so great a man is very generally felt and deplored. THE REV. CHARLES MONTAGUE DOUGHTY, OF THEBERTON HALL, SUFFOLK. The death of this estimable gentleman occurred at his seat in Suffolk, on the 23rd April. He was born 23rd July 1798, the elder son of the late Rev. George Clarke Doughty of Theberton Hall, Vicar of Hoxne, and Rector of Dunham and Martlesham, by Catherine, his wife, only daughter and heir of Ezekiel Revett, Esq., the descendant of a very ancient Suffolk family. His grand- father George Doughty, Esq., of Leiston and afterwards of Theberton Hall, served as High Sheriff of the county in 1793. Mr. Doughty married 29th January, 1840, Frederica, third daughter of the Hon. and Rev. Frederick Hotham, Rector of Donnington, and has left issue. SIR GKORGK DRINK.WATER. Sir George Drinkwater, Knt, an emi- nent merchant, died very recently at the age of 70. He and his father were Mayors of Liverpool, the latter in 1810, himself in 1830. The only two chief magistrates who received knighthood on the accession of "William IV. were Sir George Driukwater and Sir James Eyre, M.D., a circumstance that suggested Abernethy's advice to a corpulent patient, who applied about the time for his advice : " You must live lower and drink weaker potation," suid the eccentric physician. " You must go into the country, take exercise, and think of the two new mayors that have been knighted, Eyre and Drinkwater." THE REV. CANON EATON. The Rev. Joseph Eaton, a Minor Canon and Precentor of Chester Cathedral, was the eldest member of that ecclesiastical establishment. He also held the appoint- ment there of Chapter Clerk, and in that character he was presented with numerovs testimonials for the improvement he effected in the Cathedral property. The rev. gen- tleman possessed high scientific attain- ments, and was one of the best mathema- ticians of his day; he was among the oldest members of the Royal Society of Antiqua- ries. Besides his appointment of Canon, he held in the Church the living of Hand- ley and the perpetual curacy of St. Michael's, Chester. The Rev. Canon Eaton died on the 8th April, in the 82nd year of his age. SIK JOHN EDWARDS, BART. This respected Baronet died on the 19th April, at Bryn-y-Pys, near Overton. He formerly represented the Montgomery Burghs in Parliament, and was Lieut. - Colonel of the Volunteers and Local Mili- tia of the Western Division of Montgom- eryshire. He was burn loth January, 1770, and had consequently completed his 80th year. Paternally, his family was of respectability and antiquity, seated at Talgarth, co. Merioneth : maternally, he derived from the Owens of Garth; of whom was Richard Owen of Garth, who, in 1660, was placed by Charles II. on the list of those " fit and qualified to be made Knights of the Royal Oak." Sir John Edw ards, who was created a Baronet in 1838, married first, 28th Janu- ary, 1792, Catherine, eldest daughter and co-heir of Colonel T. Browne, of Melling- ton Hall ; but by her, who died 21st Janu- ary, 1821, he had no issue. He married secondly, 7th December, 1825, Harriet, dau. of the Rev. Charles Johnson, Preben- dary, of Whitelackington, and widow of J. Owen Herbert. Esq., of Dolvorgan, and by her was father of an only child, Mary Cor- nelia, married, 3rd August, 1846, to Vis- count Seaham. By Sir John's death, the baronetcy becomes extinct. GENERAL SIR ARCHIBALD GALLOWAY, K.C.B. This distinguished officer having spent the greater part of his life in active and able service, rose through the various grades to that of a General, and was made a Companion of the Bath in 1838 ; he sub- sequently became a K.C.B. Sir Archibald Galloway was Chairman of the Hon. East India Company. The gallant General died on the Gth April, at his residence, 18, 54 OBITUARY FOR MARCH AND APRIL. Upper Harley Street, to the great grief of a very extended circle of friends and ad- ADMIRAL HILLS. Admiral Hills was born the 8th Novem- ber, 1777; he was the only surviving son of Lieut. William Hills, R.N., of Buck- land, Kent, who lost his life in a storm while commanding H.M. cutter Sprightly. Admiral Hills entered the navy the 13th June, 1792, and, after a distinguished career, attained his rank of Rear- Admiral in 1849. He had received a medal for his services. He married, in 1813, Diana, daughter of the late Thomas Hummersley, Esq., by whom he leaves three sons and four daughters. The gallant Admiral died on the 4th April, at his residence, Asher Hall, Essex, in his seventy-third year. THOMAS, EARL OF MACCLESFIELD. This venerable nobleman, father of the peerage of England, died at Ensham Hall, in Oxfordshire, on Easter Sunday, aged eighty-six. His Lordship was born June 9, 1763, the second son of Thomas, third Earl of Macclesfield, by Mary bis wife, daugh- ter of Sir William Heathcote, Bart. Early in life he held a commission in the Foot Guards, and subsequently as a respected private gentleman, he endeared himself to all who knew him by his amiable and kindly nature. He did not obtain the Earl's coronet until far advanced in years, and he has held the dignity for only eight years. He married first, March 16, 1796, Miss Edwards, eldest daughter of Lewis Ed- wards, Esq., of Talgart\ by whom he had four daughters : Amelia widow of William Montgomery, Esq, of Grey Abbey, co. Down; Matilda Anne, wife of Arthur Hill Montgomery, Esq, of Tyrella ; Ellen Ka- therine, who married John William Fane, Esq. of Wormsley, and died in 1 844 ; and Louisa.

John Thomas Dutton^) one son, Thomas- Augustus-Wolstenholme now sixth Earl of Macclesfield, who has been twice married. By his first wife Henrietta, daughter of the late Edmond Tumor, Esq. of Stoke Rochford, he has no issue ; but by his present Countess Mary-Frances, second daughter of the Marquis of Westminster, he has a son and heir George-Augustus, Viscount Parker, and other issue. The founder of the honours of the noble house of Parker was Thomas Parker, an eminent lawyer of the reign of Queen Anne, who was constituted Lord High Chancellor in 1718, and created Earl of Macclesfield in 1721. SIR JOHN MACDOXALD, G.C.B. The death of this distinguished officer, who held the important office of Adjutant-Gen- eral to the Forces since 1830, occurred on the 28th March. Sir John entered the army, at an early age, in 1795, and served the campaign of 1801 in Egypt. He sub- sequently joined the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsula and wore a medal and one clasp for his services as Deputy Adju- tant-General at Barrossa, and as Assistant Adjutant-General at Nive. In 1814 he re- ceived the brevet of Colonel, and in 1838 attained the rank of Lieutenant-General. In 1828 he was made Colonel of the 67th Regiment, and in 1844 changed to the command of the 42nd Royal Highlanders. THE DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH. Charlotte-Augusta, Duchess of Marl- borough, was born Nov. 26th, 1818, the only child of Henry-Jeffrey, late Viscount Ashbrook, by Emily-Theophila, his second wife, second daughter of Sir Thomas Met- calf, Bart. Her Grace wedded the present Duke of Marlborough on the 10th of June, 1846, and has left issue one son, Almeric- Athelstan, born in 1847, and one daughter, Clementine- Augusta, born May 6, 1848. Her Grace was confined with a stillborn infant some five weeks ago, and was con- sidered to be rapidly progressing to re- covery. A severe mental shock which she unfortunately experienced about a fort- night ago, took such a powerful hold on the nervous system, that her Grace never rallied from it, and finally sunk under its baneful influence at an early hour on Sa- turday morning the 20th April. DEAN MEREWETHER. The Very Rev. John Merewether, D.D., Dean of Hereford, was a scion of the an- cient and respectable Wiltshire family of Merewether. He owed his rise to his being curate of Hampton, Middlesex, during the time that William IV . , then Duke of Clarence, and his admirable Duchess, resi- ded at Bushy. The fervour and zeal of the clergyman in his avocations, and his popu- larity with his congregation, won the no- tice and esteem of the Royal pair, who took much interest in his preaching. He was appointed Chaplain to the Duke ; and when that Prince ascended the throne, he made Dr. Merewether Deputy Clerk of the OBITUARY FOR MARCH AND APRIL. 55 Closet and Dean of Hereford. The Dean was also named for a bishopric, but he was induced at the time to forego his claim in favour of another. His recent connexion with the famous Dr. Hampden's case is too well known to need detail or comment here. The Dean, who was also Rector of Radnor, and Vicar of Madely, died at his vicarage, on the 4th inst., much and gen- erally regretted. SIR SAMUEL HENRY PIERS, BABT. This Baronet died at Tristernagh Abbey, co. Westmeath, on the loth April, aged 37. He had enjoyed the title but a short time, having recently succeeded to it by the death of his uncle, the late Sir John Bennett Piers, Bart. The Piers family has been long one of high position in Ireland. Its founder, William Piers, Esq., (son of Richard Piers, Esq., of Piers Hall, Yorkshire) was sent over to that kingdom in 1-566, by Queen Elizabeth, whom he is said to " have saved at one time from the fury of her sister, by conveying her privately away," and was rewarded by lands of great value, par- ticularly the Abbey of Tristernagh, co. Westmeath. He was subsequently con- stituted Governor of Carrickfergus, and Seneschal of the county of Antrim, and he obtained in 1569 a reward of 1000 marks for bringing in the head of the rebel, Shane O'Neill. ALEXANDER SETON, ESQ., OF MOUNIE, J.P. AND D.L. FOR ABERDEENSHIRE. The death of this venerable gentleman occurred at Leamington, on the 16th April, at the advanced age of eighty. He was the son and heir of the late James Anderson, Esq., of Cobenshaw, who as- sumed the surname and arms of Seton in right of his wife, Margaret Seton, sister and heiress of William Seton, Esq., of Mounie, and daughter of George, second son of Sir Alexander Seton, Bart., Lord Pitmedden. The family of Seton is of great antiquity. At the earliest time of authentic records, we find its ancestors settled as lords of the soil, at their baronial residence in East Lothian, where its chiefs continued to hold their principal seat, through the period of nearly seven centu- ries, until attainted for their attachment to the exiled house of Stuart, in the per- son of George Seton, fifth Earl of Winton, in 1715. The gentleman whose death we record, married, in 1810, his cousin, Janet Skene, daughter of the Rev. Skene Ogilvy, D.D., and has left three surviving sons, all military officers, and one surviving daughter. LIEUT. SKENE. Lieutenant James Skene, R.N., was the son of Mr. Skene, a surgeon in the army, and the nephew of Captain Alexander Skene, R.N. Lieutenant Skene, during an active career, saw much sen-ice : .he was present at the taking of Washington and the attack on New Orleans. He was several times severely wounded. He was made a Lieutenant in 1815. Lieutenant Skene died suddenly at Gillingham, on the 3rd inst., aged fifty-three. CAPTAIN SMITH, R N. Captain George Smith, R.N., the Ad- miralty Superintendent of contract packets at Southampton, entered the Royal Navy in 1808, and, after a brilliant career, was made a Captain the 13th April, 1832. Cap- tain Smith was the inventor of very su- perior sights for ship's guns, of a lever or moveable target, and of paddle-box safety- boats for steamships. In 1833, he pub- lished a volume entitled " A few Remarks on the Siege of Antwerp ; " also, a plan for the suppression of piracy. It may be added, also, that he was introducing at Southampton the practice of Naval gun- nery amongst the crews of the contract Mail Steam-packet Company. This ex- cellent officer died on the 6th April, at Southampton, being at the time little more than fifty years of age. ELIZABETH LADY THROCKMORTON. This lady, distinguished for her piety and her many amiable qualities, who died on the 4th April, was daughter of the late Sir John Acton, Bart., for many years Prime Minister to the King of the Two Sicilies, and representative of the very an- cient family of Acton, who were created baronets in the year 1644. She married, in 1829.

MADAME TUSSAfD. This famous exhibitor of the greatest col- lection of wax- work ever known was a native of Berne, in Switzerland, At the age of six years she was sent to Paris to be placed under the care of her uncle, M. Curtius, an eminent professor of the fine arts, and artiste to Louis XVI. Instructed by this relative, she became a great adept in drawing and modelling, and she had nu- OBITUARY FOR MARCH AND APRIL. merous pupils among the French noblesse just previously to the revolution of 1789. The unfortunate Prince ?s Elizabeth, who was so foully murdered by the Jacobins, was one of those to whom she imparted her kaowledge. Madame Tussaud came to England in 1802 ; her well-kown career in this country is familiar to every one as an exhibitor of the waxen effigies of the heroes and heroines of all ages, whether of good or evil fame. Her reputation is unrivalled. Her emporium of characters, historic, lite- rary, and criminal, in Baker-street, is of cosmopolite renown. Madame Tussaud sev- eral years since published some memoirs of herself, which were by no means without interest. The distinguished lady died on the loth April, after an illness of five days, in her 90th year. In the volume of Reminiscences to which we have alluded, Madame Tussaud tells us that during her stay with M. Curtius, his house was the resort of many of the most distinguished literati and ar- tists of France : she well recollected Vol- taire, Rousseau, Dr. Franklin, Mirabeau, and La Fayette ; she was an especial fa- vourite with Voltaire, who used to pat her on the cheek, and tell her what a pretty dark-eyed girl she was. The personal ap- pearance of the celebrities is minutely described in Madame Tussaud's volume. At that time, modelling flowers, fruit, &c., in wax, was much in fashion ; and to such perfection had this lady arrived in giving character and accuracy to her portraits, that, whilst very young, to her was con- fided the task of taking casts from the heads of Voltaire, Rousseau, Franklin, Mirabeau, and others ; her cast from the face of Voltaire was taken only two months before he died. The volume of Madame Tussaud's Me- moirs and Reminiscences," to which we have alluded, is a very curious and inter- esting book, not only describing the most striking events of the old French Revolu- tion, but portraying the different characters of the period, and painting their costumes with the nicest attention to details ; such, indeed, as might be expected from a wo- man of Madame Tussaud's turn of obser- vation. Many a leader of the Revolution might be "dressed" from her clever descrip- tions, which have more than the exactness of the records of fashions in the present ADORA-JtLIA, WIFE OF PETER. WELLS, ESQ. This lamented lady, whose untimely death, at the early age of twenty, occurred on the 21st April, at 16 Hereford-street, London, was second daughter of the present Sir John Hesketh Lethbridge, Bart., of Sandhill Park, by Julia, his second wife, daughter of Sir Henry Hugh Hoare, Bart.

It is with feelings of deep and sincere regret that we announce the death of Wil- liam Wordsworth, one of the last and most eminent of a race of poets now all but extinct. The melancholy event, which had long been expected, occurred at noon on Tuesday, the 23rd April, at the poet's residence, in Westmoreland, upon the shores of that lovely lake, which, by asso- ciation with so many poetic reminiscences, has already acquired a classic fame. Full of years and of honours, the vene- rable bard has passed from amongst us to rejoin his illustrious friends and contem- poraries, Coleridge and Southoy. We have no M'ish, now that the tomb is about to re- ceive his mortal remains, to submit to the cold analysis of criticism the inspirations of his genius. In the fullest and noblest sense of the word, he was a poet. Like his writings, his life was blameless, and, meet ending of such a life, his death was calm and happy. William Wordsworth was born in 1770, of a respectable family, at Cockermouth, in Cumberland. His early education he received (together with his brother, the Rev. Dr. Wordsworth) at the Grammar School of Hawkshead, where he evinced peculiar taste for classical studies, and was remarkable for his thoughtful disposition and poetic genius. In 1783, he made his first attempt inverse, and in 1787, was removed to St. John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in Arts. In 1793, he published a poetical account of a pedestrian tour on the Con- tinent, entitled "Descriptive Sketches in Verse." This production was accompanied by another poetical work, entitled the " Evening Walk," an " Epistle to a young lady from the Lakes in the Xorth of En- gland." These formed together the young poet's first appeal to the public. They were issued in 1793, and at once arrested the attention of discerning men. He then made a pedestrian tour in his own country, the result of which was that he settled down for a time in a cottage in Alforton, in Somersetshire, in a picturesque valley, near Nether Stowey. It was here that he began that intimacy with Coleridge which so much influenced the subsequent intellec- tual life of both. One result of this so- OBITUARY FOR MARCH AND APRIL. 57 journ in Somersetshire, was the publication in 1798, of a volume of poems, which he entitled "Lyrical Ballads." Soon after- wards he went, accompanied hy his sister, on a tour in Germany, where he was joined by Coleridge. In 1807 he gave to the world the second volume of the " Lyrical Ballads," and, in 1809, issued his only prose production an essay concerning the rela- tions of Great Britain, Spain, and Portugal to each other. In 1814 appeared his most celebrated work, "The Excursion;" and in 1815, "The White Doe of Eylstone;" in the same year, while giving to the world another edition of the " Lyrical Ballads," Mr. Wordsworth condescended to publish a defence of the system on which he had constructed some of his poems. To this he had been provoked by the strictures justifiable, perhaps, in many respects which had appeared in the two great quar- t( rly reviews, from the pens of Gifford and Jeffrey. His next publication amounted to a practical defiance of those great des- pots of the literary world, for in his "Peter Bell" and " The Waggoner," he carried his new system to an extent which, in spite of the poetical power displayed in them, almost shook the faith of those who, in some of the other works, had inspired an admiration and veneration almost amounting to worship. His " River Dud- don," a collection of descriptive sonnets, some of which are masterpieces, appeared in 1820, followed at long intervals by other works, in which the nobler charac- teristics of his genius were developed, and his attempts to invest with a poetical in- tcrest subjects utterly incapable of imagi- native treatment, were abandoned. Wordsworth married, in 1803, the "Mary," to whom his "White Doe of Rylstone" is so touchingly inscribed. This lady was eldest daughter of John Hutch- inson, Esq., of Penrith, and grand-daughter of Henry Hutchinson, Esq., of Whitton, co. Durham. At the death of Southey, he succeeded to the office of Poet Laureate. The following eloquent tribute to the Poet of the Lakes, we extract from the Times newspaper : "Removed by taste and temperament from the busy scenes of the world, his long life was spent in the conception and elabo- ration of his poetry, in the midst of the sylvan solitudes to which he was so fondly attached. His length of days permitted him to act as the guardian of his own fame, he could bring his maturer judgment to bear upon the first bursts of his youthful inspiration, as well as upon the more mea- sured flow of his maturest compositions. Whatever now stands in the full collection of his works, has received the final impri- matur from the poet's hand, sitting in judg- ment upon his own works, under the in- fluence of a generation later than his own. It is sufficiently characteristic of the man, that little has been altered, still less con- demned. Open at all times to the influences of external nature, he was singularly indif- ferent to the judgment of men, or rather so enamoured of his own judgment that he could brook no teacher. Nature was his book, he would admit no interpretation but his own. It was this which constituted the secret of his originality and his strength, at the same time that the abuse of the prin- ciple laid him open at times to strictures, the justice of which few persons, but the unreasoning fanatics of his school, would now be prepared to deny. "But we feel this is not a season for criticism. There is so much in the charac- ter, as well as in the works of William Wordsworth to deserve hearty admiration, that we may indulge in the language most grateful to our feelings, without overstep- ping the decent limits of propriety and plain sincerity. We would point out, in the first place, one of the great excellencies of the departed worthy. His life was as pure and spotless as his song. It is ren- dering a great service to humanity, when a man, exalted by intellectual capacities above his fellow-men, holds out to them in his own person the example of a blame- less life. As long as men are what they are, it is well that the fashion of virtue should be set them by men, whose rare abilities are objects of envy and emulation even to the most dissolute and unprincipled. If this be true of the statesman, of the warrior, of the man of science, it is so in a tenfold degree of the poet and the man of letters. Their works are in the hands of the young and inexperienced. Their habits of life become insensibly mixed up with their compositions in the minds of their admirers. They spread the moral infection wider than other men, be- cause those brought within their influence are singularly susceptible of contamination. The feelings, the passions, the imagination, which are busy with the compositions of the poet, are quickly interested in the fashion of his life. From ' I would fain write so,' to ' I would fain live so,' there is but a little step. Under this first head, the nation owes a deep debt of gratitude to William Wordsworth. Neither by the influence of his song, nor by the example of his life, has he corrupted or enervated our youth ; by one, as by the other, he has 58 OBITUARY rOll MARCH AND APRIL. purified and elevated, not soiled and (It-ba- sed, humanity. If we may pass from this more general and important consideration, to a more limited sphere of action, we would point out the example of the venerable old man who now lies sleeping by the side of the "Westmoreland lake, to the attention of all who aim at high literary distinction. To William Wordsworth his art was his all, and sufficed to him as its own rich re- ward. We do not find him truckling the inspirations of his genius for mere sums of money, nor aiming at political and social distinctions by prostituting the divine gift that was in him. He appears to have felt that in the successful cultivation of his art, he was engaged in a laborious, if in a de- lightful occupation. Could he succeed, he was on the level of the greatest men of his age, although he might not have a sin- gle star or riband to hang up against the wall of his rustic cottage, nor a heavy balance at his banker's as evidence of his success. These things are but the evidence of one species of triumph, the poet, the dramatist, the historian, should aim at dis- tinctions of another kind. "If we think the present occasion an un- fit one for cold criticism we may without impropriety, devote a few brief sentences to the excellencies of the compositions of the Poet of Rydal Mount. There must be something essentially " English " in his inspirations, for while few poets have exercised greater influence in his own country, on the continent his works are little known even to students who have devoted much time and attention to En- glish literature. In Germany, for example, you will find translations at the chief seats of literary society, of the poetry of Scott, Byron, Moore, and Shelley ; Southey and Coleridge are less known ; the name of Wordsworth scarcely pronounced at all. Of France, the same thing may, with truth be said. In either country there may be rare instances of students of the highest order, of a Guizot, a Merime'e, a Hum- boldt, a Bunscn, who are well acquainted with the writings of Wordsworth, and share our insular admiration for his beau- ties, but such exceptions are few indeed. There must, therefore, be some develop- ment of " English" thought in Words- worth which is the secret of his success amongst ourselves, as of his failure in securing an European reputation. It is certain that some of the great poets whose names we have mentioned, have left it upon record that they arc indebted for the idea of some of their most beautiful pas- sages to the teaching and example of Wordsworth, and yet the scholars have charmed an audience which the master could not obtain. It is probably the case that in no country of Europe is the love for a country life so strongly developed as in England, and no man who could not linger out a summer day by the river bank or on the hill-side, is capable of apprecia- ting Wordsworth's poetry. The familiarity with sylvan scenes, and an habitual calm delight under the influence of nature, are indispensable requisites before the tendency of the song can be understood, which work by catching a Divine inspiration even from the dewy fragrance of the heather-bell, and the murmur of the passing brook. It was not in Wordsworth's genius to people the air with phantoms, but to bring the human mind in harmony with the opera- tions of nature, of which he stood forth the poet and the interpreter. We write with the full recollection of many lovely human impersonations of the departed poet present to our minds ; but his great aim appears to have been that which we have endeavoured to shadow out as distinctly as our limited space would permit. "Before concluding, we would advert to a point which is perhaps more in keeping with the usual subjects of our columns than the humble tribute of admiration wo have endeavoured to offer to the illustrious man who lias just been called away. Let us hope that the office of Poet Laureate, which was dignified by its two last posses- sors, may never be conferred upon a person unworthy to succeed them. The title is no longer an honour, but a mere badge of ridicule, which can bring no credit to its wearer. It required the reputation of a Southey or a Wordsworth to carry them through an office so entirely removed from the ideas and habits of our time without injury to their fame. Let whatever emolu- ments go with the name be commuted into a pension, and let the pension be bestowed upon a deserving literary man without the ridiculous accompaniment of the bays. We know well enough that birth-day odes have long since been exploded ; but why retain a nickname, not a title, which must be felt as a degradation rather than an honour by its wearer ? Having said thus much, we will leave the subject to the better judgment of those whose decision is operative in such matters. Assuredly, William Wordsworth needed no such Court distinctions or decorations. His name will live in English literature, and his funeral song be uttered, amidst the spots which he has so often celebrated, and by the rivers and hills which inspired his CHANGES OF NAME.

May 4, 1850. THE REV EDWARD JOHN WlLCOCKS,of Place, in the parish of Fowey, co. Cornwall, M. A., sometime of Lincoln College in the University of Oxford, to take the name and arms of TREFFRY, in lieu of those of Wil- cocks, in compliance with the testa- mentary injunction of his cousin, the late Joseph Thomas Treffry, Esq., of Treffry. The Treffrys of Cornwall are a family of great antiquity, and can be traced as possessed of the manor of Treffry in Lanhidrock to a very re- mote period. Five generations before 1380, in consequence of a marriage with the heiress of Boniface, they had removed to Place, in Fowey. The first name in the pedigree is Roger de Treffry, great-great-grandfather of Thomas, who married Boniface. Sir John Treffry, was made a Knight Banneret, at Cressy, and had an honourable augmentation to his arms (the lilies of France to be borne quar- terly) and supporters two armed men, given to him for his signal services in that battle. The senior line of this ancient stock became extinct in 1658, with John Trefuy, Esq., whose sister wedded Trefusis, but a junior branch continued, of which the last male re- presentative, John Treffry, Esq., of Place, left his estates to his sister's son, his nephew, Wm. Toller, Esq., who assumed, by Act of Parliament, 8 George II., the name of Treffry. His son and heir Thomas Treffry, Esq., of Place, left two daughters, his co- heirs, the younger of whom, Susannah, married Joseph Austen, Esq., and was mother of JOSEPH THOMAS AUSTEN, I CHANGES OF NAME. Esq., of Place, Lord of the Manor of Fowey, who took the name of Treffry by royal licence, in 1838, and served in that year the office of High Sheriff of Cornwall. To this enterprising gentleman, Mr. Davies Gilbert thus refers in his His- tory of Cornwall : " Mr. Joseph Thomas Austen is the present repre- sentative of the ancient and distin- guished family of Treffry, one of the most spirited adventurers in mines, and one of the most judicious and en- lightened managers that Cornwall has witnessed for many years." Then, after quoting a passage from Leland, who states that after repulsing an attack of the French, temp. Henry VI. "Thomas Trevry buildid a right fair and stronge embatelid Tower in his house, and, embateling all the waulles of the house in a maner made it a Castle, and onto this day it is the glorie of the towne buildinges in Fowey." Mr. Davies Gil- bert adds, " The present possessor, has, however, added considerably to the beauty of this ' right fair ' mansion, by completely restoring whatever might be defective in the existing parts, and by completing, or perhaps, improving, the original plan." Mr. Treffry died 29th Jan. 1850, aged 67; and it is under his will that the Rev. Edward John Wilcocks has obtained the Royal Warrant to take the name and arms of Treffry. May 17, 1850. RICHARD TUFTON, Esq., of Hothfield Place, Kent, to continue to bear the surname of TUF- TON only, and to bear the arms of Tuf- ton, with such distinctions as may, by the laws of arms, be required, in com- pliance with the testamentary injunc- tion of his reputed father, the Right Hon. Henry Tufton, late Earl of Thanet. May 21, 1850. WILLIAM ED- WARDS, the younger, of Burway, in the parish of Bromfield, and of Lud- low, co. Salop, eldest son of William Edwards, gent, of Ludlow, by Anne Maria his late wife, sister and heir of James Brettell-Vaughan, Esq., late of Burway, deceased, to take the names of BRETTELL-VAUGHAN, after that of Edwards, and to bear the arms of Brettell and Vaughan quar- terly with his own arms in compliance with the testamentary injunction of his said maternal uncle. OBITUARY. APRIL AX I) MAY. M. DE BLAINVILLE. This eminent naturalist was the suc- cessor of George Cuvier in the chair of Comparative Anatomy at the Museum of Natural History in Paris. As a man of science and a lecturer, M. de Blainville was equally famous. He was perhaps the only one who, without wearying his audience, could deliver on points the most abstruse a lecture of two hours. He was latterly engaged with indefatigable activity in a work on fossil remains. M. de Blain- ville's death was awfully sudden. He had set out on a journey to England ; but while on his way, on the 1st May, he was found dead in one of the carriages of the night train on the Rouen railway. Ho was at the time in his 73rd year. LADY ISABELLA HEAD BRYDGES. This lady was the widow of Sir John William Head Brydges, of Wootton Court, Kent, M.P. for Coleraine, younger brother of the late Sir Egerton Brydges, Bart., the well-known writer. She was born 28th May, 1776; the eldest daughter of George, first Marquis of Waterford ; mar- ried 1st April, 1812, and died at Avisford on the 7th May, having had issue, one sm John, born in 1814, and two daughters Elizabeth, wife of the Rev. Charles Kinlc- side, and Isabella Louisa, married first in 1837, to Ponsonby Peacocke, Esq., 25th Regiment, and secondly, 1845, to Lieut. Parker Radcliffe, Royal Horse Artillery. SIR ALEXANDER GIBSON-CARMICHAEL, BART., OF SKIRLING. This gentleman was the male* represen- tative of the very ancient Scottish house of Gibson of Durie, on which the dignity of a Baronet of Nova Scotia was conferred in 1628, in the person of Sir Alexander Gibson, the famous lawyer, Lord President * The heir general of the Gibsons of Durie, is the p esent Lieut-Col. John Charles Hope Gib- sone, of Pentland, grandson of sir John Gibson, the seventh Hart. of the court of Session. The surname of Carmichael was adopted to commemorate the family's descent from John Carmichael, first Earl of Hyndford. Sir Alexander Gibson-Carmichael, whose death we record, succeeded to the title at the demise of his father, Sir Thomas, 13th of last January, and, having enjoyed it barely four months, died at Brighton, on the 8th May, aged thirty-seven, SIR THOMAS CARTWRIGHT, G.C.H, ENVOY EXTRAORDINARY AND MINISTER PLENIPOTENTIARY AT THE COURT OF SWEDEN. The death of this eminent diplomatist occurred at Stockholm on the 17th April. He was the eldest son of the late William Ralph Cartwright, Esq., of Aynho, for several years M.P. for Northamptonshire, and grandson maternally of Cornwallis, first Viscount Hawarden. His ancestors were possessed of the Manor of Aynho for more than two centuries, and con- tinuously represented the county of Nor- thampton in Parliament. John Cart- wright, Esq., son and heir of the purchaser of Aynho, suffered much by his adhesion to the cause of the Parliament at the com- mencement of the Civil War, but his grandson, Thorn as Cartwright, Esq., M.P., replenished the family coifers by his mar- riage with one of the daughters and co- heirs of Thomas, Lord Crewe, of Stene. Sir Thomas was born in 1795, and married, in 1824, Maria Elizabeth Au- gusta, daughter of the Count of Sandizell, in Bavaria, by whom he leaves issue. Previous to his appointment as Envoy Ex- traordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Stockholm, he was Minister Plenipotentiary to the Diet of Frankfort. THE BISHOP OF CLOGHER. The Right Rev. Lord Robert Ponsonby Tottenham, D.D., Lord Bishop of Clogher, was the second son of Charles, first Mar- quis of Ely, brother of John, the second 60 OBITUARY FOn APRIL AND MAY. Marquis, and uncle of the present posses- sor of that title. The Right Rev. Prelate was Lorn the 5th September, 1773; he was educated at Christchurch, Oxford, and having entered into holy orders, attained the mitre in 1804, by being consecrated Bishop of Killaloe. He was translated to the see of Ferns in 1820, and obtained the Bishopric of Clogher in 1822. The Bishop of Clogher has always borne his surname of Tottenham ; for Tottenham Green, in the county of "Wexford, and the other property of the Tottenham family, being inherited by his Lordship, he retained the original name, when the rest of his fam- ily assumed that of Loftus. Dr. Tottenham, while Bishop of Killaloe, married, in 1806, Alicia, third daughter of Cornwallis Maude, first Viscount Hawar- den, and has had issue ten sons and one daughter. The Right Rev. Prelate died in Ireland, on the 26th April. The Bishopric of Clogher merges in the Primacy. SIR GEORGE CHETYWND, BART. The death of this Baronet occurred at his seat, Grendon Hall, Atherstone, on the 24th May. He was born 23rd July, 1783, the eldest son of the late Sir George Chet- wynd, of Brocton, Bart., by Jane, daughter of Richard Bantin, gent., of Little Faring- don, in Berkshire. He married, 30th August, 1804, Hannah, eldest daughter and co-heir of the late John Sparrow, Esq., of Bishton Hall, co. Stafford, and has left by her, two sons, and three daugh- ters, viz.

Sir George Chetwynd's two surviving brothers are Major William Fawkenor Chetwynd, of Brocton Hall, co. Stafford, and Henry Chetwynd, Esq., ofErocton LoJ-e. MICHAEL JAMES ROBERT DILLON, EARL OF ROSCOMMON. The Earldom of Roscommon, conferred, in 1662, on James Lord Kilkenny West, son of the famous Sir Lucas Dillon, of Newtown, Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, and Chief Baron of the Exche- quer, became dormant from the period of the death, in 1816, of Patrick, eleventh Earl, to the year 1828, when after a pro- crastinated investigation by the Lords, the dignity was affirmed to Michael James Robert Dillon, as lineal descendant and heir male of the Hon. Patrick Dillon, of Rath, third son of the first Earl. The title was, indeed, an empty honour, not a single acre remaining to it, although, in early times, the Dillons possessed an im- mense territory, known as Dillon's Coun- try, including the whole of Westmeath and Longford. The claimant thus successful, was the nobleman whose death we record. He was posthumous son of Captain Michael Dillon, of the Dublin militia, who was killed by the rebels at the battle of Ross, in 1798. He married, 19th August, 1830, Charlotte, second daughter of the late John Talbot, Esq., and sister of the Earl of Shrewsbury, which lady died without is- sue 21st November 1843. Wentworth, fourth Earl of Roscommon, was the celebrated poet thus characterised by Dryden : Roscommon, whom both Court and camps com- mend, True to his Prince, and faithful to his friend ; Rosc-ommon, first in fields of honour known, First in the peaceful triumphs of the gown. SIR WILLIAM FTELDEN BART., OF PEXISCOWLES. This gentleman, who obtained the title of Baronet, 26th July, 1846, and sat in Parliament for a long series of years, for the borough of Blackburn, descended from a respectable family, settled there full three centuries, and at present possessed of con- siderable landed property in the county of Lancaster, where the present head of the house, Sir William's nephew, Joseph Fiel- den, Esq., resides at Witton. The deceased Baronet was born 13th March, 1772, and married 30th March, 1797, Mary Haughton, daughter of the late Edmund Jackson, Esq., member of the House of Assembly at Jamaica, by whom he has left issue four sons and five daugh- ters, the eldest son and heir being the pre- sent Sir Willam Henry Fielden, second Baronet of Feniscowles. Sir William died on the 17th inst. LADY SARAH FINCH. Her ladyship, whose early death was lately announced, was second daughter of Heneage, present Earl of Aylesford, grand- daughter, maternally of George II., Earl of Brooke and Warwick, and sister of Lord Guernsey and Viscountess Lewisham. She was born June 21, 1823, and had, conse- quently, not quite completed her 27th year. OBITUARY FOR APRIL AM) MAY. 01 SIR JAMES FLOWER, BART., OF LOBB, COUNTY OF OXFORD. This gentleman was the only son and heir of the late Alderman Sir Charles Flower on whom a Baronetcy was conferred, De- cember 1, 1809. He succeeded his father in that honour, loth September, 1834; but as he leaves no issue, the title becomes ex- tinct. Sir James served as High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1838, was appointed Deputy- Lieutenant of Herefordshire in 1843; and sat in Parliament for Thetford from 1845 to 1847. He was born 14th December, 1794 ; and married, January 2nd, 1816, Mary-Jane, eldest daughter of Sir NValter Stirling, Bart., of Faskine. Sir Charles had six sisters, five of whom married. M. GAY-LUSSAC. Science has just lost one of its brightest ornaments in the death of M. Gay-Lussac which took place on the 9th May at his residence, in the Jardin des Plantes, at Paris. Nicholas-Francis Gay-Lussac was born at St. Leonard (Haut-Vienne), on the 6th of December, 1788. In 1816 he was chosen Professor of Chemistry at the Polytechnic School. He had previously distinguished himself by his aerial voyages, for the observation of atmos- pheric phenomena at great heights. Ac- companied by M. Biot, he proposed these researches to the French Government ; the offer was seconded by Berthollet and Laplace; and Chaptal, then Minister of the Interior, gave the proposition his warm support. The war-balloon which had been employed by the French army in Egypt was given to the custody of MM. Biot and Gay-Lussac, and refitted, at the public expense, under their direction. Besides the usual provision of barome- ters, thermometers, hygrometers, and electrometers, they had two compasses and a dipping-needle, with another fine needle, carefully magnetized, and suspended by a very delicate silk thread, for ascertaining by its vibrations the force of magnetic attraction. To examine the electricity of the different strata of the atmosphere, they earned several metallic wires, from sixty to three hundred feet in length, and a small electrophorus feebly charged. For galvanic experiments they had pro- cured a few discs of zinc and copper, with some frogs, to which they added some insects and birds. It was also intended to bring down a portion of air from the higher regions, to be subjected to a chemical analysis ; and for this purpose a flask, carefully exhausted and fitted with a stopcock, had been prepared for them. They ascended from Paris, August 23, 1804, and made a number of very in- teresting experiments at the various sight, ranging from 6500 to 13,000 feet. On September 15, in the same year, M. Gay- Lussac made a second ascent, and reached the great height of four miles and a quar- ter ; he brought down with him from this elevation a flask of air, which, on analysis, was ftnmd to be exactly the same as the air collected near the surface of the earth. These experiments are well described in "A System of Aeronautics," by John Wise, a copy of which work reached us from Philadelphia, a few days since. The author observes : "The ascents performed by MM. Bio and Gay-Lussac are memorable, as being the first ever undertaken solely for objects of science. It is impossible not to admire the intrepid coolness with which they con- ducted those experiments, operating, while they floated in the highest regions of the atmosphere, with the same composure and precision as if they had been quietly seated in their cabinet at Paris. Their observa- tions on the force of terrestrial magnetism show, most conclusively, its deep source and wide extension. The identity of the constitution of the atmosphere, to a vast altitude, was likewise ascertained. The facts noted by Gay-Lussac, relative to the state of the thermometer at different heights, appear generally to confirm the law which theory assigns for the gradation of temperature in the atmosphere ; but many interesting points were left untouched by this philosopher." Few men have led such a life of scien- tific industry' as M. Gay-Lussac. There is scarcely a branch of physical or chemical science to which he has not contributed some important discovery. Sometimes he engaged alone in these researches; at others he chose eminent philosophers for his collaborateurs, among the most distin- guished of whom were M. Thenard and M. Alexandra de Humboldt ; and he was especially noticed by M. Berthollet. M. Gay-Lussac was an able and ingenious manipulator, and has made a vast number of analyses and experiments. His discovery of the general laws in the composition of bodies, particularly in the animal and ve- getable kingdoms, was a very important labour. By his experiments on mere ury and elastic fluids, he ascertained that what- ever may be the nature of the fluid, it di- lates cqxially from the temperature of ice to that of boiling water, and that it acquires an increase in volume of one third. In conjunction with M. Humboldt, he like- wise made observations on the theory of M. Biot, who, fiom data supplied by M. de la Perouse, endeavoured to determine the position of the magnetical equator, and its intersection with the terrestrial equator. 62 OBITUARY FJR APRIL AND MAY. The result of their inquiry is, that the great chains of mountains, and even vol- canoes, have no perceptible influence on the magnetic power, and that that power di- minishes in proportion to the distance from the terrestrial equator. LORD WILLIAM HERVEY, C.B. His Lordship, Secretary to the British Embassy at Paris, was bom September 27, 1805 ; the third son of Frederick William, present Marquis of Bristol, by Elizabeth Albana, his wife, second daughter of Clot- worthy, Lord Templetown. He married, September?, 1844, Cecilia-Mary, youngest daughter of the late Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Francis Freemantle, G.C.B., and leaves issue two sons and one daughter. Lord "William Hervey died on the 6th March. SIR WILLIAM KAY, BART., OF EAST SHEEX, SURREY. Sir William was son of William Kay, Esq., of Montreal, and succeeded to the Baronetcy according to a limitation in the patent, at the decease of his maternal grand- uncle, Sir Brook Watson. That gentle- man was a London merchant, and commis- sary-general to the army in North America in 1782. In 1784 he was chosen to repre- sent the City of London, and in 1795 filled the civic chair. In 1798 he was appointed commissary-general of England, and in 1803 obtained the Baronetcy, with the specific limitation in his grand-nephews, William and Brook Kay. The former was the gentleman whose deatn we record, as having occurred at his residence in Pall Mall, on the 16th inst. Leaving no issue, he is succeeded by his brother, now Sir Brook Kay. MRS. LABOUCHERE. This lady, the wife of the Eight Honour- able Hemy Labouchere, the President of the Board of Trade, died suddenly, on the 25th May. The deceased was the youngest daughter of the late Sir Thomas Baring, Bart., and sister of the Eight Hon. Francis Thornhill Baring, first Lord of the Admi- ralty. Mr. Labouchere was in town when a special messenger arrived early on Sa- turday morning from Chislehurst, announc- ing Mrs. Labouchere' s illness, in conse- quence of which he left town immediately. Mrs. Labouchere's confinement was not expected to take place for a month or two. Premature labour, it is said, was the cause of death. THE VERY REV. FRANCIS LEAR, D.D. The. death of this excellent clergyman, who at the period of his decease was Dean of Salisbury, and Rector of Bishop- stone, Wilts, occurred on the 23rd March. He was born at Downton, the son of the Rev. Thomas Lear, Fellow of Winchester, by Ethelinda, his wife, dau. of Major Shuckburgh Hewett. In 1824 he was presented by the Earl of Pembroke to the Rectory of Chilmark, in 1834 obtained the Prebendal State of Netheravon in the Cathedral of Salisbury, in 1837, became Archdeacon of Sarum, and in 1846, was promoted to the Deanery. The character of Dr. Lear is so beautifully given in the funeral sermon preached by his Diocesan, the Bishop of Salisbury, that we cannot forbear extracting it. " It were long to speak of the various qualities in our departed brother which en- hance the loss we now deplore. I may but glance at some of those which my own intercourse with him more conspicuously brought before me. How widely, in the first place, was he influential for good in that post which he filled as archdeacon in this portion of my diocese. In the nine years during which I knew him in that office, there was no duty which was nc t discharged beyond my expectations no instance in which the results of good did not exceed my hopes. And this, because our brother was, in the first place, while health and strength permitted, eminently in his own person a man of action. He took a vigorous and hopeful view of the prospect before him, and entered with ac- tive zeal upon the duties which it entailed. Witness our schools, and parsonage houses, and churches, in so many cases built or restored at his instigation in not a few instances by his personal instrumentality. Witness the impulse he gave to the mis- sionary operations of our church, when he went from parish to parish through the whole archdeaconry setting on foot a new organisation, and giving an example which has happily found many followers. Wit- ness the meetings at which we have lis- tened with instruction and delight to the accents of his voice of that voice which ever brought forth something fresh and genuine something which raised the tone of the discussion to a higher level some- thing which spoke to the heart because it proceeded from the heart, and because of him, if of any man, might it be truly said that, " out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." But not only was he thus active in the discharge of duties in his own person, but he was yet more eminently calculated to influence and stimulate others in the same course. He had a veiy persuasive power with men of every class, from the great simplicity, gentleness, and fairness of his character tho patience and candour with which he OBITUARY TOR APRIL AND MAY. 63 listened to all objections, and the single- minded earnestness with which he pur- sued the end in view. He had, too, a great faculty in bringing together men differing from each other in opinion and feeling, for all men loved him, and he fully appre- ciated in every man what there was of good. He, almost more than any man I have ever known, loved to look at points of agreement with each, rather than of difference ; and hence, wherever his influ- ence extended, it shewed itself remarkably in binding together discordant elements, and uniting in a common purpose thx>33 who might perhaps have been suspicious of each other, had they not alike had con- fidence in him." FRANCIS PHILIPS, ESQ., OF BANK HALL, CO. LANCASTER, The Philips, of Heath House, of whom, the lamented gentleman, the subject of this notice, was a scion, have been resident in Staffordshire for many centuries. In the last century the family separated into three branches ; the eldest continued at the an- cestral mansion, the Heath House, near Cheadle ; the second became enriched by manufacturing pursuits at Manchester; and the third was raised to the degree of Baronet, in the person of Sir George Philips, of Weston. Mr. Francis Philips belonged to the Manchester division, being grandson of Nathaniel Philips, Esq., of that important town, who was third son of Nathaniel Philips, Esq., of Heath House. He suc- ceeded, under the will of his father, to the estates of that gentleman, in 1824, and was a Deputy-Lieutenant for the county of Chester, and in the commission of the peace. He did not, however, act as a magis- trate, although he was indefatigable in promoting the happiness of all around him and in assisting works of public utility in his vicinity. At the period of his decease he had com- pleted his seventy-eighth year. He mar- ried, September 13, 1792, Beatrice, daugh- ter of the late James Aspinall, Esq., of Liverpool, and had two sons, Francis-Aspi- nall and Hindley-Leigh. Mr. Mark Philips, the late M.P. for Manchester, was cousin to Mr. Francis Philips, of Bank Hall MISS JANE PORTER. This highly gifted lady, the accomplished authoress of " Thaddeus of Warsaw," " The Scottish Chiefs," and other popular works, died on the 24th of May, aged 74, at the house of her brother, D. W. 0. Porter, Portland Square, Bristol. Her father was an officer of Dragoons, who died early in life, leaving his widow in straitened circumstances with five al- most infant children. Three of the orphans were sons, the two eldest entered professions which they filled in a highly honourable manner : the third, Sir Robert Ker Porter, gained celebrity in literature and arts. The two daughters were Jane and Anna Maria, whose genius added such brilliancy to the name they bore. Much of the accidental circumstances, or, rather, the occasional events of Miss Jane Porter's early life may be traced in the notes she appended to the latest edition of her three most popular romances, "Thaddeus of Warsaw," "The Scottish Chiefs," and " The Pastor's Fireside." The first appearance of the second we have named had an electric effect in Scotland. Eings and crosses cut out of Wallace's oak were sent to the fair authoress ; and other relics, real or supposed, of the hero and his companions came as grateful offer- ings. Joanna Baillie refers in her beauti- ful poem of Sir William Wallace, to Miss Porter's exquisite production ; and Sir Walter Scott himself admitted to King George IV., one day in the library at Carlton House, that "The Scottish Chiefs" was the parent, in his mind, of the Waverley Novels. The subsequent works of Miss Jane Porter were " Duke Christian of Lunenberg," "Tales round a Winter Hearth," " The Field of the Forty Foot- steps," and "Sir Edward Seaward's Narra- tive." Anna Maria, Miss Porter's youngest sister, died June 21, 1832. She was the authoress of " The Hungarian Brothers," "Don Sebastian," "The Recluse of Nor- way," "Roche Blanche," "Honor 0'IIara," "The Barony," &c. SIR GEORGE WILLIAM PRESCOTT, BART., LATE OF THEOBALD'S PARK, HERTS. Sir George was senior representative of the great banking and mercantile family of Prescott, being elder son of the late Sir George Beeston Prescott, Bart., and first cousin to Mr. Prescott, Governor of the Bank of England. The title of Baronet was conferred on his grandfather in 1794. Sir George married, first, 10th July, 1827, Emily, daughter of Colonel Symes, and became her widower, without issue, 8th January, 1829. He married, secondly, 26th July, 1845, Eliza, youngest daughter of Henry Hiller, Esq., and has left by her a son, the present Sir George Reii del sham Prescott, Bart,, an infant of four years old. The death of Sir George Prescott oc- curred at Caen, in Normandy, on the 27th April. He had completed his forty-ninth year. 64 OBITUARY FOR APRIL AND MAY. WILLIAM ROCHE, ESQ. The family of which this gentleman was a memher is one of high respectability. His father, Stephen Roche, Esq., married three wives, and left a very numerous fa- mily. By the first wife he had John Roche, an eminent merchant in Ireland, and George Roche, Esq., of Granagh Cas- tle, who claimed the peerage of Fermoy. By the second wife, Sapah, daughter and co-heir of John O'Bric u Esq., of Mayva- nine and Clounties, Ikr. Roche had four sons ; Stephen, of Killarney ; Thomas, of Limerick ; James, of Cork, a gentleman of the highest literary and classic attain- ments, well known as an able historical and antiquarian essayist; and William, the subject of this notice. "William Roche, in his earlier life, was an eminent banker in his native city, Limerick. After retir- ing from business he was chosen M.P. for Limerick by his fellow-citizens, who elected him without his having sought the honour, and without his being put to any expense. He was the first Catholic representative of the city since the repeal of the penal laws. Mr. Roche was, in Parliament, a Reformer, but all parties looked with respect on the upright conduct and sterling independence of the' man. Mr. Roche was obliged some years ago to abandon his parliamentary career, in consequence of his delicate health. In private life Mr. Roche was much esteemed. His taste as an horticul- turist was well known and appreciated ; his gardens in Limerick, uniqiie in design and construction, have long attracted the attention of travellers. Mr. Roche's death occurred recently, in his native and fa- vourite city. WILLIAM CHARLES TOWNSEND, ESQ., Q.C. RECORDER OF MACCLESFIELD, AND A BENCHER OF LINCOLN'S INN. The subject of this memoir, a son of the late "William Townsend, Esq., of Liverpool, whose untimely death is so much deplored, was in the 47th year of his age. His an- cestors were of old standing and respecta- bility in Lancashire. A century ago, one of them, Alderman James Townsend, was Mayor of the town of Liverpool. Early in life Mr. W. C. Townsend evinced signs of talent, and gave proofs of a retentive memory, which afterwards strengthened with his strength, by reciting a speech of the celebrated statesman Canning, as de- livered by him on the hustings. After passing the customary course of school education, he proceeded to Oxford, and in 1824 took a high position in classical ho- nours. He was afterwards, 25th Nov. 1828, called to the Bar, by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn, joined the Northern and North Wales Circuits, and gradually rose to eminence in his profession. He was elected Recorder of Macclesfield, after a severe contest with the late John Cotting- ham, Esq., some years ago, and was re- cently raised to the dignity of one of Her Majesty's counsel. He married, happily, in 1834, and leaves his widow, without children, to deplore his loss. He died at his brother's residence at Wandsworth, where he had repaired for recreation and change of air, after a very short illness. After his speech, delivered before the Parliamentary Committee on the Dee Bill, on the 3rd May, the learned gentleman was so exhausted at its conclusion, that he had to be carried to the carriage which took him home : from that attack he never rallied. The character of the deceased is the best tribute we can offer to his me- mory, and must be a source of great con- solation to his bereaved widow, relatives, and numerous surviving friends. That Christian character was not only unsullied, but full of goodness. His kindness of heart, the courtesy of his manners, and the charm of his conversation, will be long cherished by those who had the privilege of knowing him. His remains were interred, in Lin- coln's Inn, of which society he was a Bencher. 6.5 OBITUARY. MAY AND JUNE. ROBERT BORROWES, ESQ., OF G1LLTOWN, COUNTY OF KILDARE The family of Borrowes, of Gilltown, originally a scion of the ancient House of De Burgh, has been established in Ireland since the reign of Elizabeth, and has conti- nued to maintain in that kingdom a leading position among the landed proprietors, frequently giving members to the House of Commons, and constantly becoming connected by marriage with the chief aris- tocracy of Ireland. The present represen- tative is the Rev. Sir Erasmus Dixon Bor- rowes, Bart. The gentleman whose death we record was youngest son of Sir Kildare Dixon Borrowes, the fifth Baronet, M. P., by Jane, his second wife, daughter of Joseph Higginson, Esq., of Mount Ophaley. He married Charlotte, daughter of S. Madden Esq., of Hillton, co. Monaghan. and has left issue, a son, Captain Robert Higginson Borrowes, of the 13th Light Dragoons, and four daughters, viz. 1, J ane-Harriette ; 2, Emily, married in 1848 to W. Roche, Esq., of Buttevant Castle, co. Cork; 3, Elizabeth, married in 1844 to W. Cramer-Roberts, Esq., of Thornton, co. Kildare ; and, 4, Gertrude, married in 1849 to Richard Bourke, Esq., nephew of the late Earl of Mayo. CHARLES BOSANQUET, ESQ., OF THE ROCK. The death of this gentleman, Governor of the South Sea Company, and for many years Colonel of the Light Horse Volun- teers of London and Westminster, occurred at his scat, the Rock, in Northumberland. Mr. Bosanquet was second son of Samuel Bosanquet, -tsq., of Forest-house, Essex, Governor of the Bank of England in 1792, by Eleanor, his wife, daughter of Henry Lannoy Hunter, Esq., and grandson of Samuel Bosanquet, Esq., lord of the manor of Low-hall, Essex, by Mary, his wife, daughter and sole heir of William Dunster, Esq. The family of Bosanquet was origi- nally of Languedoc, and became estab- lished in England at the revocation of the edict of Nantz. A branch continued in France, but is supposed to be now extinct there ; the last of its known descendants, the Chevalier de Bosanquet, of Amagre, near Lunel, having died, s. p., in 1832. The gentleman, whose decease we re- cord, served as High Sheriff of Northum- berland in 1828, and was a magistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant for that county, as well as for Middlesex. He married Charlotte, daughter of Peter Holford, Esq., Master in Chancery, and had surviving issue, Robert William, in holy orders, George Henry, also a clergyman, and Mary-Annu. The Right Hon. Sir John Bernard Bo- sanquet, the late learned judge, was younger brother of Mr. Bosanquet, of the Rock. SIR JOHN BUCHAN. Sir John Buchan was the son of George Buchan, Esq., of Kelloe, Berwickshire, by his wife, the daughter of Robert Dundas, Esq., of Armiston, co. Edinburgh. Sir John entered the British service as a Lieu- tenant in the Scottish brigade in 1795, he became a full Colonel by brevet in 1819, and a Lieutenant-General in 1841 ; he was 9reated a K.C.B. in 1836. Sir John Bu- chan saw much service, and on occasions displayed much sense and gallantry. A cross and clasp which he received were for his conduct and prowess as Colonel of the 7th Portuguese at Guadeloupe, Vittoria, the Pyrenees, Nivelle, and Nive. He obtained the Colonelcy of the 32nd Foot in 1843. He wasaMajor-General in the Portuguese service. This distinguished officer died on 2nd instant, at his residence, 39, Upper Harley-street. SIR GEORGE CHETWYND, BART., OF BROCKTON, CO. STAFFORD The Chetwynds of Brockton descend from a common ancestor with the noble House of the same name. The first Baro- m 66 OBIIUARY TOR MAY AND JUNE. net, Sir George Chetwynd, the father of the gentleman whose decease we record, filled for many years the office of Clerk to the Privy Council. The late Sir George was born 23rd July, 1783, and was called to the Bar by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn in 1813, and sat in Parliament for Stafford from 1820 to 1826. He married, 30th August, 1804, Hannah-Maria, eldest daughter and co-heir of the late John Spar- row, Esq., of Bishton Hall, co. Stafford, and by her had issue, two sons and three daughters. The elder of the former, now Sir George Chetwynd, third Baronet, was born 6th Sept., 1809, and married 2nd August, 1843, Lady Charlotte Augusta Hill, eldest daughter of the late Marquis of Downshire. Of the daughters, the eldest, Maria Elizabeth, is wife of Henry Grimes, Esq., the younger, of Coton House, co. Warwick ; the second, Charlotte, of Rich- ard Ellison, Esq., of Boultham Hall, co. Lincoln ; and the third Georgiana, of Sir John Hanmer, Bart., M P. VICE-ADMIHAL SIR JOSIAH COGHILL COG- HILL, BART. This gallant officer was second son of Sir John Cramer Coghill, Bart., by Mary, his wife, daughter of Dr. Josiah Hort, Archbishop of Tuam. He was born in 1773, and was twice married. By his first wife, Sophia, daughter of James Dodson, Esq., he had three daughters only ; but by his second, Anna-Maria, eldest daughter of the late Right Hon. Charles Kendal Bushe, Lord Chief-Justice of the Court of King's Bench in Ireland, he had two sons, John Joscelyn, the present bart., and seven daus. His death occurred on the 20th June. Sir Josiah' a naval career, we extract from Mr. O'Byrne's "Naval Biography :"" This officer entered the navy in April, 1782, on board the Bristol, 50, Capts. Hugh Camp- bell and James Burney, with whom he served in the East Indies, until discharged in April, 1786. In April, 1789, here-em- barked on board the Haerlem, 64, armee en flute, Captain George Burlton, in which ship, having been created an Acting-Lieu- tenantin September, 1798, he was officially promoted 24th March, 1 800. After attend- ing the subsequent expedition to Egypt, and cutting out, in command of the Haerlem' s boats, the Prima galley, from the Mole of Genoa, he removed, 25th April, 1801, to the Africaine, Captain James Stevenson : and, on 7th May, 1802, was promoted, from the Dedaigneuse frigate, Captain Thomas George Shortland, to the command of the Rattlesnake sloop in the East Indies ; where, with two boats under his immediate orders, we find him, after a sanguinary contest, destroying a pirate vessel on the coast of Malacca. Having obtained, 25th April, 1805, the acting command of La Concorde, 36, Captain Coghill, on the 1st February received an Admiralty Com- mission, confirming his appointment to that frigate, in which he continued until September, 1807. On next joining, 2nd October, 1809, the Diana, 38, he forthwith proceeded to join the armament then off Walcheron, and arrived in time to perform service marked by the approbation of the Commander-in- Chief. Capt. Coghill left the Diana in Feb. 1810, and remained on half-pay until 7th October, 1813, when he was appointed to the Ister, 36, in which he served on the Leeward Island station until July, 1815. His promotion to Flag-rank took place 23rd November, 1841." Sir Josiah succeeded to the baronetcy in 1817. LADY HENRIETTA FERGUSSON. Lady Henrietta Fergusson, widow of Sir James Fergusson, Bart., of Cilkerran, was a daughter of Admiral Duncan, created Viscount Duncan for the victory of Cam- perdown. Her mother, Lady Duncan, was Henrietta, daughter of the Right Hon. Robert Dundas, of Armiston, President of the Court of Session, and niece of Henry Dundas, first Viscount Melville. Lady Fergusson, who was the second wife of Sir James Fergusson, has left a numerous family. Her only surviving brother is the present Earl of Camperdown ; her sisters are Lady Stair, Lady Mary Dundas, of Dundas, and Lady Lune Dal- rymple. Lady Fergusson died at Oxcnford Castle, North Britain. LIEUTENANT-COLOXEL THOMAS GEORGE FITZGERALD, OF TURLOUGH PARK, CO. MAYO. The Fitzgeralds of Turlough Park are a distinguished branch of the ennobled stock of Desmond. Their original estates, situ- ated in the county of Waterford, were con- fiscated for the family's devotion to the royal cause. The gentleman whose decease we record, was eldest son of the late Charles Lionel Fitzgerald, Esq., of Turlough Park, by Dorothea, his wife, eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Butler, Bart., and grandson of Captain George Fitzgerald of Tiulough, by Lady Mary Hervey, his wife, sister of Frederick Earl of Bristol. He was born 5th June, 1778, and married twice: first, in 1806, Delia, daughter of Joshua Field, Esq., of Heaton, co. York ; and secondly, in 1819, Elizabeth, only daughter of James Crowther, Esq., M.D., of Boldshay Hall. For many years he resided at Maperton House, co. Somerset, and acted as a Deputy- Lieutenant of that shire. OBITUARY FOR MAY AND JUNE. 67 Colonel Fitzgerald died 5th June. His uncle was the well-known George Robert Fitzgerald, notorious in the last century as "fighting Fitzgerald." ALICE-MAKY, COUNTESS DOWAGER OF LIMERICK. Her Ladyship was the only daughter and heiress of Henry Ormsby, Esq., of Cloghan, by Mary his wife, sister of Sir Henry Hartstonge, Bart., of Bruff. She was born 27th August, 1764, and married, 29th January, 1783, her cousin, Edward Henry Pery, Lord Glentworth, subse- quently Earl of Limerick.

"William Cecil, killed at St. Sebastian in 1813; and Edmund- Sexton, who is married to Elizabeth Charlotte Cockayne, niece of the last Viscount Cullen. The Countess Dowager died in Mansfield Street, on the 13th June having nearly completed her 87th year. MISS JANE PORTER. (In continuation from paye 63 ) As in the case of the recent death of Miss Edgeworth, it is singular that so little notice has yet been taken of the demise of Miss Jane Porter, one of the most distin- guished novelists which this nation has produced. Miss Porter may be said to have been the first who introduced that beautiful kind of fiction, the historical romance, which has so prospered with us, and has added such amusement and interest to English literature. The author of "Thaddeus of Warsaw" and the "Scottish Chiefs" has done much to preserve the lasting respect and gratitude of her country. The family of this excellent woman and able writer is of Irish descent ; her father was an officer of Dragoons in the British service. He married a Miss Blenkinsopp, of the Northumbrian house of Blenkin- sopp, which Camden styles " a right ancient and generous family." Miss Por- ter's father died in the prime of life, and left his widow with five almost infant children, in slender circumstances. The great talent of this orphan family raised them to affluence and distinction. Three of the children were sons; of these the eldest perished in a dangerous climate abroad at the commencement of a promis- ing career ; the second became a physi- cian, and practised successfully. He is the present Dr. "William Ogilvie Porter, of Bristol. The third son was the late Sir Robert Ker Porter, K.C.H., distinguished as an author, a painter, and a soldier. Some of our finest battle-pieces are the work of his pencil, and he himself followedheroes to the field. He was with Sir John Moore when he fell victoriously at Corunna, and he earned a high reputation throughout the Peninsular War. He afterwards became a diplomatist, and was latterly consul at Venezeula. His travelling sketches in Russia and Egypt procured him also an author's fame. Sir Robert Ker Porter died suddenly about seven years ago ; he left by his wife, a Russian lady, an only daughter, who is married and resides in Russia. The two sisters of these brothers Porter were even more distinguished. The younger of them, Miss Anna Maria Porter, became an authoress at twelve years of age. She wrote many successful novels, of which the most popular were the " Hungarian Brothers," the " Recluse of Norway," and the Village of " Mariendorpt." She died at her brother's residence, at Bristol, on the 6th of June, 1832. The elder sister, Miss Jane Porter, the subject of this notice, was born at Durham, where her father's regiment was quartered at the time. She, with her sister Anna- Maria, received her education under Mr. Fulton, at Edinburgh, where her widowed mother lived with her children in their early years. The family afterwards removed, first to Dilton, and thence to Esher, in Surrey, where Mrs. Porter, a most intelligent and agreeable lady, resided with her daughters for many years until her death in 1831. Mrs. Porter was buried in the churchyard of Esher ; and on her tomb the passer-by may read this inscription : " Here lies Jane Porter, a Christian widow." As a novelist, Miss Jane Porter obtained the highest celebrity. Her three most renowned productions were her "Thad- deus of Warsaw," written when she was about twenty years of age ; her " Scottish Chiefs," and her " Pastor's Fireside." "Thaddeus of Warsaw" had immense popularity ; it was translated into most of the continental languages, and Poland was loud in its praise, Kosciusko sent the author a ring containing his portrait. General Gardiner, the British Minister at Warsaw, could not believe that any other than an eye-witness had written the story, so ac- curate were the descriptions, although Miss Porter had not then been in Poland. The " Scottish Chiefs " was equally suc- cessful. With regard to this romance it is known that Sir Walter Scott, admitted to George IV. one day, in the library at Carl- ton Palace, that the "Scottish Chiefs" was the parent in his mind of the Waverley Novels. In a letter written to her friend, Mr. Litchfield, about three months ago, Miss Porter, speaking of these novels, 68 OBITUARY FOR MAT AND JUNE. said : " I own I feel myself a kind of sybil in these things ; it being full fifty years ago since my ' Scottish Chiefs,' and ' Thaddeus of Warsaw,' came into the then untrodden field. And what a splen- did race of the like chroniclers of generous deeds have followed, brightening the track as they advanced. The Author of Wa- verley, and his soul-stirring ' Tales of my Landlord,' &c. ; then comes Mr. James, with his historical romances on British and French subjects, so admirably uniting the exquisite fiction with the fact, that the whole seems equally verity. But my feeble hand " (Miss Porter was ailing when she wrote the letter) " will not obey my wish to add more to this host of worthies ; I can only find power to say with my trembling pen that I cannot but esteem them as a respected link with my past days of lively interest in all that might promote the virtue and true honour of my contemporaries, from youth to age." These eloquent words become the more touching, when we con- sider that, within three months after they were written, this admirable lady quitted this life in the maturity of her fame. Miss Porter wrote, in conjunction with her sister " Tales Round a Winter's Hearth." She was also an indefatigable contributor to the periodicals of the day. Her biographical sketch of Colonel Den- ham, the African traveller, in the Xaval and Military Journal, was much admired, as one of the most affecting tributes ever paid to departed merit. Miss Porter was a Chanoiness of the Polish Order of St. Joachim, which honour was conferred upon her after the publication of " Thad- deus of Warsaw ; " she is in her portraits generally represented in the habit of this order. Miss Porter died on the 24th ult, at the residence of her brother, Dr. Porter, in Portland Square, Bristol. That brother, so tenderly beloved by her, and so justly respected by all who knew him, is now the last survivor of this brilliant company of brothers and sisters, and he too, we are sorry to say, is in an enfeebled state from paralysis, aggravated by the recent shock of his gifted relative's demise. Except himself, and his married niece in Russia, there remains no representative of a family which England has good cause to hold in honoured and grateful remembrance. JAMES SMITH, ESd., OF DEANSTON. This eminent agriculturist was born in the city of Glasgow, on the 3rd January, 1789. His father was a respectable mer- chant there, whither he had come from his birth-place, Galloway, in the south west of Scotland. His mother was daughter of James Buchanan, of Carston, a landed pro- prietor in the west of Stirlingshire. Mr. Smith's father having died when he was only two months old, the care of his edu- cation devolved upon his mother, who was aided in her task by five of her brothers, all of them remarkable for enterprise and energy. Mr. Smith acted as one of the Commis- sioners for inquiring into the means of improving the Health of Towns ; and he was especially active in his occupation as a Superintending Inspector of the General Board of Health. Mr. Smith closed his useful career very suddenly. He was, on the 10th instant, found dead in his bed, at the house of his cousin, Mr. Buchannan, of Catrine, Ayrshire. By all who kne\\- him, and particularly by those who were in his employment, the death of this truly great and good man will be deeply la- mented. His loss to society at large will be a severe one. He leaves behind him a name deserving of lasting memory and honour in the agricultural records of his country. ADMIRAL TROLLOPS. Rear-Admiral George Barne Trollope was the son of the Rev. John Trollope, who was grandson of Sir Thomas Trollope, the third baronet of that name. The Real- Admiral's half-brother, Sir Henry Trollope, K.C.B., a gallant and distinguished naval officer, died in 1839 ; he himself entered the navy the 8th of May, 1790, and after an eminent career in the service of his country, rose to the rank of Rear- Admiral, having been made a C.B. in 1815. He married, in 1813, Barbara, daughter of J. Gable, Esq., of Kinsale, and leaves a family. Admiral Trollope died at Harpur-street, Bedford, on the 31st ult. SIR GEORGE TALBOT, BART. Sir George Talbot, of Belfast, co. Antrim, was the younger son of Charles Henry Talbot, Esq., of Mickleman, Surrey, and Belfast, Antrim, a scion of the great English house of Talbot, who was created a Baronet of Ireland on the 31st May 1790. Sir George was born on the 14th of March, 1763, and succeeded his brother, Sir Charles Talbot, as third Baronet, in November, 1812. He married, on the 14th May, 1797, Anne, daughter of the Rev. Thomas Preston, of Swainton, by whom he leaves two daughters. Sir George Talbot died on the 10th June. OBITUARY. JUNE AND JULY. HIS ROYAL HIGJTHESS THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. The death of his Eoyal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, took place at Cam- bridge House, Piccadilly, on Tuesday the 8th July. On Monday, a bulletin was issued by his Royal Highness's medical gentlemen, stating the Duke to have been in a very exhausted state during the night, but to have rallied in the morning. At mid-day, the Queen and Prince Albert arrived at Cambridge House. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, who arrived at Cambridge House in the morning to learn the state of her Royal brother, returned at half- past nine o'clock in the evening, and ten minutes afterwards the Royal Duke ex- pired. The following bulletin, signed by the medical attendants, announced the death of his Royal Highness : Cambridge- house, July 8, 1850, ten o'clock P.M. "His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, after passing a tranquil day, expired somewhat suddenly, and without suffering, at twenty minutes before ten o'clock." The melancholy intelligence was im* mediately announced to the Queen and Prince Albert by Major Baron Knese- beck, principal Equerry to the Royal Duke, directly after which Prince Albert paid a visit of condolence to tbe Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George. His Royal Highness the Prince Adol- phus Frederick, Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Tipperary and Baron of Culloden, K.G., G.C.B. ; Grand Master and First Principal Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St. Michael and St. George; Knight of the Prussian Order of the Black Eagle; Field- Marshal in^the Army; Colonel of the Coldstrearn Guards; Colonel-in- Chief of the 60th Foot; Com- missioner of the Royal Military College and Royal Military Asylum; and Chan- cellor of the University of St. Andrew, was the seventh and youngest son of George III. He was born the 24th of February, 1774. At an early age he was designed for the army, and received his education at the university of Gottingen, with his two brothers, the present King of Hanover and the late Duke of Sussex each being accompanied by a governor, a preceptor, and a gentleman-in-attend- ance. At the completion of his military studies, Prince Adolphus had his first commission as ensign at the age of six- teen ; and having become a master of the German language, by his stay of three years at Gottingen, he visited the court of Prussia, and returned to England in 1793. During that year he served with the Bri- tish forces before Dunkirk, and came back wearing a coat which exhibited several sabre -marks, and a helmet through which he had been wounded in the eye. He is stated to have received nine wounds in action. In 1794 he attained the rank of Colonel, and in 1803 he was placed at the head of an army of 14,000 men, des- tined for the defence of Hanover; but finding, on his arrival in the electorate, that its inhabitants evinced but little in- clination to aid him against the enemy, he soon solicited his recal, and, after some delay, procured permission to return to England, leaving the army under the command of Count Walmoden, who was shortly afterwards compelled to surrender. 70 OBITUARY FOB JUNE AND JULY. His Royal Highness was, on the 27th November, 1801, created Baron of Cul- lotlen, Earl of Tipperary, and Duke of Cambridge, and he accordingly took his seat in the House of Peers. The Duke married, on the 7th May, 1818, at Cassel, her Serene Highness the Princess Augusta Wilhelmina Louisa, third daughter of the Landgrave Frede- rick, of Hesse-Cassel. This marriage was re-solemnized on the 1st June of the same year, according to the ritual of the Church of England. The Duke gradually rose to the rank of Field Marshal; and, on the restora- tion of Hanover, he was appointed its Governor-General, or Viceroy, in 1816. His administration of the affairs of that kingdom was marked throughout with wisdom, mildness, and discretion. On the breaking out of a popular commotion there in the revolutionary period of 1831, the Duke's conduct was such as to even- tually pacify all parties, and to effect the perfect restoration of order, in fact, the great regard the people of Hanover had for a Prince so kind and conciliatory, and yet so firm and so tenacious of his honour, went a great way to preserve the Hanoverian Crown for his family. The Viceroyalty of the Duke ceased in 1837, at the death of William IV., when his brother, the Duke of Cumberland, suc- ceeded to the throne of Hanover. On the evening of the 4th July, 1837, his Royal Highness left Hanover. lu this country his Royal Highness has been always popular, and certainly, most deservedly so. He took the greatest in- terest in the furtherance of every means likely to improve the knowledge or the happiness of his fellow- subjects. He was indefatigable in the cause of charity; he was a munificent contributor to most of the charitable establishments in this coun- try; and, as every one knows, he was always ready to support them by his per- sonal attendance and exertions, and by his patronage. The Times thus alludes to his conduct in this respect. " He was not," says that journal, " found always in smooth water. He did not think it his sole duty to precide over turtle and veni- son, or to angle for bank-notes. He did not seek solely to dignify that which was harmonious, or to give grace and solemnity to the administrative skill of others. On the contrary, wherever there was difficulty or dispute, there was the Duke of Cam- bridge in the midst of it. It' a close com- mittee of some charity in which he was interested became split into parties 01 torn by professional rivalry, he \\ ould suddenly make his appearance on a committee-day, take the chair as president of the charity without notice or ceremony, and, in a very short time, either compose the quarrel, or what was equally important, put the burden and disgrace of the dis- pute on the right shoulders. He would sacrifice none of his own dignity in in- vestigating the most minute circum- stances, and he took care that others should not peril the charity by their dis- putes or intrigues. This habit of rushing into the breach was strongly shewn in 1847, when the very existence of the Ger- man hospital at Dalston was perilled by a dispute amongst its officers, and still more successfully exhibited in the same year at the Middlesex Hospital, where, from similar causes, a disturbance had taken place." He evinced, too, the same fostering care towards learning and the fine arts. His private character was ever unexceptionable. Wiien young his habits were very studious, and his acquirements as a scholar were far more considerable than was generally supposed. His man- ners were affable and pleasing, no person, perhaps, possessing more completely that characteristic which the French term " bonhommie." He was a thorough English prince in habits, disposition, and bearing, and he seemed at all times at home with the English people, and they with him. His demise will be deeply re- gretted by all parties. In the House of Lords the Duke of Cambridge spoke but rarely, and then only upon very important occasions. In politics, he had from the beginning of his career acted generally in favour of the Tory party: his deep affection for his father made him resist all overtures on the part of Fox, Sheridan, his brother the Prince of Wales, and the other Whigs of that day ; and, though latterly always ready to support the measures of the go- vernment as chosen by his sovereign, if he conscientiously could, he on all occa- sions displayed Conservative calmness and caution. His mode of address, though not eloquent, was sensible and impressive, and he was ever listened to with atten- tion and respect . As a friend to the soldier's widow and the soldier's orphan, his royal highness worthily imitated the example set by his brother the Duke of York; he almost weekly visited the Military School at Chelsea. The duke was the favourite son of George III., and the following anecdote marks the opinion that sovereign enter- tained of his merits. When it was pro- posed to grant his royal highness the allowance of 12,000 a-year (since raised to 27,000), George III said, in speak- ing of him, " that he had not committed OBITUARY FOR JUNE AND JULY. 71 his first fault." The whole tenour of the duke's subsequent life perpetuated the truth of this assertion. The duke leaves issue, with two daugh- ters, one son, Prince George William Frederick Charles, now Duke of Cam- bridge, K.G., G.C.H. and G.C.M.G., a Major-General in the army, and Colonel of the 17th Lancers. The daughters are the Princess Mary Adelaide Wilhelmiua Elizabeth, and her elder sister, the Princess Augusta Caroline Charlotte Elizabeth Mary Sophia Louisa, who wis married, June 28, 1843, to Frederick William Charles, Hereditary Grand Duke of Meek- lenburg-Strelitz, and has issue. VISCOUNT CANTILUPE. George John Frederick, Viscount Can- tilupe, was eldest son and heir apparent of the present Earl De la Warr, and grand- son, maternally, of the 3rd Duke of Dorset. He was born 25th April, 1814, and was formerly an officer in the Grenadier Guards. He sat in Parliament for several years, first for Helston, and afterwards for Lewes. His lordship had been for some days suffering from rheumatic fever, which at last attacked the brain and proved fatal. By his death, his next brother, the Hon. Charles Richard Sackville West, becomes Viscount Cantilupe, and heir apparent of the honours of the House of De la Warr. SIR EGBERT PEEL, BART. It has been generally said that the family of Sir Robert Peel was of huaible origin, a tale probably emanating from that love of the marvellous, which could not be contented with a man's rising to the highest station by the simple means of talent pushed 011 by wealth and favoured by opportunity, but must needs lower the ground of his ascent that his flight might seem all the higher. The truth is that the great grand-uncle of Sir Robert, so far back as 1650, was a clergyman of the established church, and even in the begin- ning of the fifteenth century we find a branch of the family of Peele for so the name was then spelt seized of lands in the Salisbury and Wiltshire districts of the county of Lancaster. The late minister was born on the 5th of July, 1788, in a cottage near the family residence of Chamber Hall, and not far from Bury, in the county of Lancashire, under circumstances the most favourable to his future eminence. When he was only two years old, his father who had amassed an immense fortune by manu- factures, and found leisure as well as in- clination to plunge into the vortex of politics, wrote a pamphlet entitled " The National Debt Productive of National Prosperity." This new and somewhat startling view of the subject aroused a fierce spirit of controversy, and if it drew down upon him some assailants, it also procured for him many admirers, and brought him at once into public notice. We may suspect too that his success in this instance made him aim at a seat in parliament, which it was not long before he attained, being returned for Bury ; and it certainly led to his acquaintance with Mr. Pitt, who was in the habit of consult- ing him upon all questions connected with manufactures and commerce. Henceforth the ambition of raising his family to poli- tical eminence took entire possession of him He determined that his son Robert should one day be Mr. Pitt's successor, and having once mounted this hobby- horse he rode on right gallantly, though in the commencement the prize mu>thave seemed at an almost immeasurable dis- tance. For once too a thing that does not often happen the natural tendencies of the son ran in the same line with the wishes of the father. At a very early age the embryo prime -minister was sent to Harrow, where in 1803, we find him on the list of the upper fifth form. Byron in speaking of him long afterwards observes, " There were always great hopes of Peel amongst us all, masters and scholars. As a scholar he was greatly my superior. As a schoolboy out of school I was always in scrapes, and he never; and in school he always knew his lesson, and I rarely." In 1804, Peel left Harrow, and entered Christ Church, Oxford, where he seems to have persisted in the same course of steady diligence, his parts being evidently more solid than shining more distin- guished, that is, for judgment and an even balance of the intellectual powers than for imagination. In taking his degree he obtained what is termed at Oxford a double first-class, or highest honour both in classics and mathematics. This it must be owned was a promising commencement. Such had been the steadiness of the son's application, and so admirably had nature adapted him to the path chalked out for him, that in no one instance had the old man's schemes en- countered the slightest check or deviation. As he had planned so had it happened, and so we shall see it continuing to happen up to the very last, with a regularity be- yond all paradel. Had he been arranging the characters in a play or romance he could not have disposed of them more completely according to the suggestions of his own fancy. In 1809, Peel came of age, when his father purchased for him the representa- 72 OBITUARY FOB JUNE AND JULY. tion of Cashel, that he might enter with- out loss of time upon his political career. Nor did the latter make the least secret of his expectations. He openly avowed his belief that his son would follow in the path of the great minister, and one day attain the same distinction, a hazardous prophecy to indulge in, for though Pitt, Burke, and Fox were gone, and Sheridan had lost all his youthful brilliance, still the house was not deficient in men of talent, and might even boast of men of genius in Canning, Palmerston, and Romilly. In addition to these potent names were Tierney, Wind- ham, Wilberforce, Whitbread, Castlereagh, Croker, Brougham, Henry Petty, Percival, Homer, Robinson, and Sir Henry Par- nell, all either dangerous rivals or exist- ing obstacles to a young man entering upon his career. Circumstances, however, favoured him. Canning and Castlereagh fought their absurd duel as indeed what duel is not absurd? and both in conse- quence quitted office. The Duke of Port- land also resigned. Percival became prime minister, the Marquis of Wellesley, Lord Liverpool, and Lord Palmerston, forming the principal supports of the new cabinet. Parliament was about to meet, and at the very opening the disastrous expedition to Walcheren had to be de- fended, or palliated, in order to carry through the address. Peel was not yet two and twenty, and consequently with none of those advantages which experience alone can give, when the cabinet deter- mined to entrust him with the seconding of the address, either in the hope ot re- buking his ambition by failure, or perhaps urged to it by the wealth and influence of his father. If the former was the motive it was destined to be utterly defeated. His speech and it was his first proved in the highest degree spirited, and led to an animated debate which ended in the government obtaining a great majority. This took place on the 10th of January, 1810. Shortly afterwards he spoke again upon the bringing up of the report of Lord Rochester's committee, condemnatory of the expedition to the Scheldt, and again for the rejection of the Livery of London petition with regard to the committal of Sir Francis Burdett. If in these speeches he felt short of the expectations he had raised, he as much went beyond them when upon the 18th of March, 1811, he spoke upon the Peninsular war, and defended Lord Wellington, exclaiming, with the prophetic spirit of one whose keen eye already discerned the future " He could not help reminding the house that at this very hour Lord Wellington might be preparing for action to-morrow; and when he reflected upon the venal abuse which had been disseminated against that illustrious character, he cherished sanguine expectations that the day would soon arrive when another transcendant victory would silence the tongue of envy and the cavils of party animosity ; when the British commander would be hailed by the unanimous voice of his country with the sentiment addressed on a me- morable occasion to another illustrious character ' tnvidiam gloria superasti.' " This speech is said to have made a great impression upon the house, and so satisfied was Percival with it that he forthwith appointed the young orator Under Secretary of State for the Colonies. The same spirit of order and application, which had distinguished the boy at school and the youth at college, was not likely to desert his riper manhood. His atten- tion to the business of his office was unde- viating, and being further guided by an excellent judgment, the minister began to look upon him as a useful and promising adherent, and avowed his intention of soon bringing him into the cabinet. The untimely death, however, of Percival anti- cipated the execution of this project. On the llth of May, 1812, he was shot by Bellingham in the lobby of the House of Commons, in revenge for the real or sup- posed neglect the assassin had experienced from the British ministry, though, as it appeared from his subsequent confession, his hatred was chiefly directed against Lord Leveson Gower, whom he would much rather have killed had he fallen in his way. A singular phenomenon is said to have been observed by the surgeons on the dissection of the body of this deter- mined murderer, who, there can be little doubt, laboured under partial insanity. The expanding and contracting powers of the heart continued perceptible until one o'clock in the day, or in other words to be alive for four hours after he had been laid open, a tenacity of life which, if it be true, is without a parallel. Had this extraor- dinary vigour of the heart anything to do with the resolution he displayed from first to last, as well in the perpetration of the deed, as in the whole business of the execution? On the :st of June the Marquis of Wellesley was sent to form an adminis- tration; but upon his failure Lord Liver- pool became Prime Minister, when amongst other changes Peel was appointed to the Chief Secretaryship for Ireland. He found the business of his new office in extreme confusion. This he immedi- ately set about correcting, and in a short time as much order prevailed throughout the whole department as before there had OBITUARY FOB JUNE AM) JULY. 73 been disorder, while his courteous; man- ners and evident desire to improve the trade of Ireland endeared him to all the merchants and manufacturers who had access to him. By this time the Catholic question had become the great difficulty of the day with ministers. Although not so much felt in England, it had already created no little movement in the sister isle, where O'Con- nell, then in the vigour of his life, was rousing the whole country with one gene- ral cry of emancipation. Canning at length became convinced of the necessity of granting what the Irish demanded, and on the 22nd of June, 1812, he carried, by a majority of 234 to 106, a motion pledg- ing the house to consider the Catholic claims in the ensuing session. On this occasion Peel voted in the minority, so that he appeared in Ireland as the decided opponent of the question which so deeply interested a vast majority of the people, but it was not until the year 1813, when Mr. Grattan moved for a committee to take the Catholic claims into considera- tion, that bespoke determinedly upon the subject. Those however, who were capa- ble of looking into him with considerate eyes, must have seen that he was actuated in this by no jealous party spirit, for shortly afterwards in a debate upon the state of education in Ireland, he strongly argued for the right of the people to be taught. The wisdom of the young statesman's views in this last matter could be as little doubted as the error of his policy in re- gard to Catholic emancipation. By the continued denial of this claim, the south of Ireland was brought in 1814 to a state closely bordering upon social disorganiza- tion. The Lord-Lieutenant had recourse to the simple expedient of force, suppress- ing the Catholic Board by proclamation, a measure which Peel strenuously defended, while he imputed the condition of the country to the agitators, and proposed to secure a better obedience to the laws by the appointment of superintending stipen- diary magistrates and an organized police. This system was adopted, and in 1822 so extended that the constabulary of Ireland now forms an important addition to the standing army. In the meanwhile there occurred so deficient a harvest ^1816) that to alleviate the famine, Peel obtained a treasury order for the admission of American flour free of duty; but notwith- standing this salutary measure distress and agrarian outrage increased on all sides, and, as if that had been a panacea for hunger, the cry became louder than ever for Catholic emancipation. On the 9th of May, 1817, Mr. Grattan again brought the measure before the house. Peel replied to him, urging in a speech of unusual force and eloquence, that if this were once granted, the Catholics would use the political power thus at- tained to the destruction of the established church, and aspire, as was most natural, to the restoration of their own faith in all its early splendour. Henceforth the task of defending Catholic exclusion and Pro- testant ascendancy was chiefly entrusted to him ; and session after session he had to fight the same battle, his opponents, like Antaeus when he touched the ground, seemed to gather fresh strength from each defeat. His labours, however, did not go entirely without recompense. Shortly after the debate in 1 8 1 7 , when Mr. Speaker Abbott, M.P. for the University of Oxford, was raised to the peerage, notice was given to Christ Church of Peel's intention to contest the vacancy, and the seat was secured for him before Canning's friends commenced their canvass In the following year he resigned his office of Secretary for Ireland. We now come to one of the most important fea- tures of his political career. When Peel first entered Parliament, he fully coincided with his father's views upon the subject of the currency, and in 1811 voted with Mr. Vansittart in favour of a paper resolution. But in 1819 we find him one of a committee appointed to consider the state of the Bank of En- gland with reference to the expediency of resuming cash payments. On the 24th of May he brought forward the report, advising a short extension of the re- strictive period, a gradual resumption of cash payments, to become entire on May 1st, 1823, and the immediate repeal of prohibitions against the exporting and melting coin. Two years and a half be- fore the specified time, the Bank began to pay in gold and silver, and this mea- sure, which emanated from Peel, and was most ably defended against the at- tacks of William Cobbett, gained the ministry such credit with the commercial world as enabled Lord Liverpool to keep his party in office for some time longer. He himself, however, had no share in the administration. In the same year that the currency question was finally settled, great distress prevailed throughout the manufacturing districts, in consequence of which loud demands were made by the people for Parliamentary Reform, and the abjlition of the Corn Laws. On the 13th of July an attempt was made to stem this torrent by a proclamation forbidding seditious meetings. But the poorerclasses had suf- fered much, and the consequent spirit 74 OBITUARY FOR JUSE AND JULY. of disaffection fomented by those who had their own views in it, was not to be so easily put down. The people gathered on the 18th of August from all the neigh- bouring places, and assembled on Peterloo Field, the site of the present Free Trade. Hall in Manchester. The melancholy result is still well remembered; but there can be little doubt that the terror pro- duced by it was eventually the means of saving much bloodshed. I 'eel himself defended the conduct of the Manchester magistrates, upon the ground of the secret societies among the people, and the dan- gers that might have followed had the meeting been allowed to pass without interruption. In June, 1820, when Queen Caro'ine arrived in England, a bill of pains and penalties was introduced by the Ministry of the day to deprive her of her legal rank and privileges. In this measure Peel took no part ; but on the 5th of February, 1821, he defended the govern- ment against the Marquis of 1'avistock s motion, condemning their conduct tuwar Js the queen ; at the same time he regretted the exclusion of her name from the Li- turgy, and the refusal to comply with her demand for a palace and a ship of war, not as things being intrinsically impor- tant, but because the denial ol them created an impression on the popular mind that the Queen was the object of persecution. On the 28th February, 1821, Mr. Plunkett once again brought the Catholic claims before Parliament, in a speech that proved him worthy of being the successor of the celebrated Grattan. Peel, as usual, undertook the task of op- posing Emancipation, but in the modified and somewhat wavering tone of his reply might be easily seen that he did not cleave to his old opinions with the same tenacity, or carry them to the same ex- tent, that he had done before. Towards the end of 1821 important changes took place in the ministry. Lord isidmouth retired, and Peel again took office, but it was this time as Secretary of State for the Home Department. In this new and elevated post, he is said to have become exceedingly popular from his general urbanity of manners, while he fulfilled all its arduous duties with his usual regularity and perseverance. Dur- ing the session, Lord John Russell brought forward his first motion for a reform in parliament, but the time was not yet ripe for so great a change, and upon this oc- casion Peel did not trouble himself to make more than a short reply. He, how- ever, much distinguished himself on Canning's motion, "for the restoration of Catholic Peers to their political privi- leges," though he still remained on what we should now certainly term the wrong side of the question. Another was rising fast and bright in the political hemisphere. The death of Lord Londonderry in the August of 1822, brought Canning into the Foreign Office, but it was not until the eleventh hour, nor without visible signs of the deepest reluctance on the part of the aristocratic leaders, who at no time seem to have either loved or trusted Can- ning. In their excuse it must be said, that Pitt entertained precisely the same distrust of this highly gifted man, and we have the testimony of Lady Hester Stan- hope to his having roundly declared that so long as he continued to be Prime Minister, Canning should never be ad- mitted into office. It was a time, how- ever, of constant struggle with a power- ful opposition, and required all the talent the ministry could allure into their ranks. Only a short time before Canning's re- election, Brougham had called the atten- tion of the House to tii3 threatened in- vasion of Spain by a Fre.ich army, at the instigation of the Holy Alliance. On the 14th of April, 1823, the new Mi- nister of Foreign Affairs laid the diplo- matic papers on tne table of the House, and in the debates that resulted from it, and continued throughout the month, we find Peel rising in his place to defend the pacific policy of the Government against the opposition which was endea- vouring to drive the country headlong into a war for the sake of Spain. The noble principles he laid down shewed that a considerable change was going on in the political creed of the Tory minister ; but the change was slow, after the usual caution of his temper, and in the meanwhile Canning was far outstrij - ping him m the race of popularity. The latter was favourable to the Catholic claims; his foreign policy was of a more liberal and decisive character; and in the debate upon the money-crisis of that year it can hardly be denied that he surpassed Peel on the ground that was more pecu- liarly his own. But if Peel h..d in this instance seemed inferior to himself and the expectation of his friends, he soon afterwards retrieved his lost honours and came out all the brighter from this tern porary eclipse. This was on the 9th of March, when he made one of his most brilliant speeches on the introduction of important measures for the consolidation and improvement of the criminal law. On the 18th of February, 1827, Lord Liverpool was found senseless on the floor of his breakfast room in an apoplectic fit, OBITUARY FOR JUNE AND JULY. 75 and to Peel was entrusted the duty of carrying the tidings to the King at Brighton. In April, Canning undertook to form an administration, and would fain have enlisted so able a supporter amongst his adherents ; but Catholic Emancipation proved, if there were no other ground, a strong cause of division between them. Peel, however modified his views might be on that subject to what they had been, could not yet bring himself to form one in a ministry of which the head was avowedly favourable to the Catholic claims. Lord Eldon and the Duke of Wellington re- signed. The ministry was however formed, but on the 8th of August, Canning died, and though it was then held toge- ther for awhile under Lord Goderich it broke up on the 8th of the following January, when the Duke of Wellington was again sent for, and Peel became Se- cretary for the Home Department. On the 26th of February, 1828, Lord John Russell brought forward his motion for a repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts. Peel opposed the measure in a very cautious speech, all the arguments of which were more of a negative than an affirmative nature ; he was not, he said, prepared to argue that the question was essentially interwoven with the protection of the Church of England, but then neither did he see how the Protestant Dissenters laboured under any practical grievance on account of their religious differences. The existing law merely gave a nominal pre- ponderance to the Established Church, and there must be a preponderance of some sort. On the 18th of March he adopted the repeal of the Cor- poration and Test Acts as a government measure, proposing however to accompany it with a qualifying declaration of no great moment, and which seems to have been brought forward only as a salvo for the change in his opinions. This measure, as might have been expected led to Catholic Emancipation, which took place in the session of 1829, upon which occasion, he voted for the measure, not as being good in itself but because " he was willing to encounter the risk of contingent dangers rather than in the existing situation of the country endure not only the continuation but the aggravation ot the present system." Having given this vote, which might be fairly considered as opposed to the wishes of Oxford, he resigned his seat on the 20th of February, and put it to the test by standing again for the University against Sir H. Inglis, when he lost his re-election by no very great majority Inglis, 755; Peel, 609. He was not long however without a seat, being returned on the 3rd of March for Westbury, and on the last day of the same month he brought up the Catholic Relief Bill to the Lords. By the death of his father in the follow- ing year he became one of the richest commoners in England, and succeeded to the baronetage as well as the repre- sentation of Tamworth In April the Wellington administration came to a close, Tories and Radicals being alike opposed to it, and chiefly owing to the extreme un- popularity of the Duke of Wellington at the time for his determined opposition to the reform for which the people were so clamorous. When, however, the Reform Bill had passed, Sir Robert, who had spoken most ably against it, at once ac- cepted it as irrevocable, called upon his friends to fight the battle of the constitu- tion in the Registration Courts, and ap- plied himself to the formation of a power- ful party. In 1834, the Whig party fell to pieces by Lord Althorp, who was the leader in the House of Commons, resigning the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, which was speedily followed by Lord Grey's quitting the post of Prime Minister. King William then sent to Italy for Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington holding the vacant office for him, and transacting well nigh all the business of the state. The general election of 1834 gave no majority to Sir Robert. He was defeated on the election of Speaker, the Tithe ques- tion, and Appropriation Clause. Indeed his whole ministry may be said to have been one continued struggle for existence, and on the 8th of April, he resigned, when Lord Melbourne returned to office. He had however in this short period exhibited very superior abilities, and most unusual thing quitted office with increased repu- tation. In 1836, Sir Robert was elected Rector of the University of Glasgow, an office to which he was fully entitled by his classical accomplishments, and in 1837, the Con- servatives entertained him at a public dinner, three thousand guests sitting down at the table, upon which occasion his speech was by many thought to be the most elo- quent he had ever delivered. The Whigs being beaten on the Jamaica Bill in 1839, found themselves compelled to resign, when he was again sent for by the Queen, but declined taking office un- less her Majesty dismissed the ladies of her household. Lord Melbourne, who again became Prime Minister, soon found him- self unable to retain office, when Sir Robert was a tbird time sent for and formed an administration. At this juncture the greatest distress ever known prevailed in the country, and Sir Robert giving up the cause of protection, introduced his new 76 OBITUARY FOR JUNE AM) JULY. corn law, and reduced the duties upon a variety of articles, and to supply the pre- sent deficiency of revenue proposed an income-tax to last three years. It would be foreign to our plan to argue upon the comprehensive change of policy, or upon the discussions to which it gave rise, hut we may he allowed to say that this great man, whether right or wrong in his mea- sures, was the minister of the Queen and nation, and not of any party. Sir Robert Peel married, in 1820, Julia, youngest daughter of General Sir John Floyd, Bart., and leaves issue : Robert, the present Baronet, born the 4th May, 1822; Secretary of Leeation in Switzer- land.

Arthur Wellesley, born the 3rd August, 1829. Julia, mar- ried in July, 1841, to Viscount Villiers, eldest son of the Earl of Jersey, and Eliza. Sir Robert was thrown from his horse on the 29th June, and died on the 2nd July from the injuries he had received. SAMUEL ELIAS SAWBRIDGE, ESQ., OF OLANTIGH, KENT. This respected and deeply-lamented gentleman was Colonel of the East Kent Militia, and twice sat in Parliament for Canterbury. He was son and heir of the late Alderman John Sawbridge, M.P. for London, and Lord Mayor in 1775; and great-grandson of Jacob Sawbridge, Esq., M.P., one of the Directors of the South Sea Company, in the memorable year 1 720, who purchased, temp. Queen Anne, from the Thornhill family, the estate and seat of Olantigh, in Kent. Colonel Sawbridge was born in 1769, and married, in 1794, Elizabeth, daughter of Brabazon Ellis, Esq.,of Wyddiall Hall, Herts, and had issue five sons and three daughters. Of the former, the eldest, John Samuel Wanley, having married the heiress of Richard Erie Drax Grosvenor, Esq., of Charborough Park, Dorset, is the present J. S. W. Sawbridge Erie Drax, Esq., M.P.
