dressed to Dr. Dickinson, at the time of his appointment. They were, as they professed to be, the production of a layman, but the materials were supplied by one of the highest authorities in the Church. The Bishop of Meath was a zealous advocate of national education, and every measure calculated to promote the genuine principles of both civil and religious freedom. The Irish nation, and more especially the Irish Church, could ill afford to lose such a man; his attachment to his country and his religion was only equalied by the wisdom with which he discovered what were the means by which the true interests of each might be promoted. He spared neither his health, his time, nor his purse, to advance the cause of both; and, though his name as an author was not prominently before the public, he was a very prolific writer in periodicals and pamphlets, principally as an advocate of Church reform and enlightened toleration. He took a lively interest in the Oxford Tract controversy. In addition to several former publications, he had prepared, just before his death, a Charge, in which he had traced the coincidence between the Tractarians and the Transcendentalists. It was to have been delivered on the very day he died.

13. At Penzance, Cornwall, in his 65th year, Richard Potter, esq., of Broughton House, Manchester, late M.P. for Wigan. Mr. Potter was the younger brother of Sir Thomas Potter, the first Mayor of Manchester. They were the children of Mr. John Potter, of Tadcaster, by a daughter of Mr. J. Hartley; and carried on a successful business in Manchester as Irish Linen merchants. Being an influential Dissenter, and advocating ultra Liberal measures, Mr. R. Potter contested the borough of Wigan in 1830, and again in 1831, without success, polling only three votes on the first, and four on the second occasion. On the passing of the Reform Act, however, the constituency being much enlarged, he was returned, and retained his seat for the borough till March, 1839, when he resigned on account of ill health.

21. At Gorey, co. Wexford, the Very Rev. Peter Browne, for more than fifty years Dean of Ferns, and Rector of Gorey, which, with the Rectories of Kilkevan, Kilnehue, and Maglass, is united to the Deanery. He was formerly a student of Trinity College, Dublin.

23. At Lezayre, Isle of Man, aged 76, the Rev. Henry Maddrell, Vicar of that parish.

At his house, Friar's Oak, Sussex, aged 77, James Brogden, esq., of Clapham Common, and Trimsaran, South Wales. Mr. Brogden was a Russia merchant in the city of London. He first obtained a seat in Parliament for Launceston at the general election of 1796, after a severe struggle. He afterwards retained undisturbed possession of his seat until the enlargement of the constituency by the Reform of Parliament, in 1832. In his early Parliamentary career, Mr. Brogden took a decided part with Mr. Fox and the Whigs; and he frequently spoke on commercial subjects. On the 3rd Oct. 1812, he was appointed one of the Lords of the Treasury, which office he held until Dec. 18, 1813.

He was afterwards for many years Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means in the House of Com

mons.

25. Of cholera, in the expedition off Chin-keang-foo, Lieutenant George Weir, of Her Majesty's 49th Regiment, eldest son of John C. Weir, esq., of Clifton; in his 22nd year.

At Holly Lodge, near Lymington, aged 91, John Frost, esq., the secretary, and one of the founders of the Corresponding Society. He was born in Oct. 1750; educated at Winchester School, and brought up as an attorney. At the breaking out of the French Revolution, he was one of the most enthusiastic of those who adopted Republican principles. In 1792, the unfortunate Gerald was secreted in his house. He was elected a deputy from the Constitutional Society to the Convention of France in 1793, his colleague being Joel Barlow, whose expences he paid. In this character he was present, at the trial of the French King; and was denounced in one of Burke's speeches, as the ambassador to the murderers. He was afterwards, in the same year, tried by information of the Attorney-general, found guilty of sedition, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, to stand in the pillory, and to be struck off the roll of attorneys. In 1802 he was a candidate for East Grinstead, and petitioned

against the return; but the committee found the sitting members duly elected, and that the petition was frivolous and vexatious.

27. At Rufford Hall, Lancashire, aged 65, Sir Thomas Dalrymple Hesketh, the third Baronet of that place.

AUGUST.

4. At Windgap Cottage, near Kilkenny, in his 42nd year, John Banim, esq., a popular Irish novelist. Mr. Banim was a native of the parish in which he died, and which was the scene of some of the best of his tales. At a very early age his genius began to be developed; and there are still in existence manuscripts of his prose and poetry written in the fresh bloom of boyhood, which contained ample promises of the excellence to which he afterwards attained. But whatever expectations of literary fame might have been created in the minds of his friends at that early period, they were exceeded by their hopes of his success as a painter; for he displayed considerable taste and skill in that art, and was for some years resolved on making it his profession. When scarcely seventeen years of age, he became editor of the "Leinster Journal." At the age of eighteen, he produced the play of Damon and Pythias, which was successfully acted for some time at Drury-lane. When about twenty years of age, he married, and proceeded to London, where he became immediately editor of the "Literary Register." However, he abandoned the unprofitable work of editorship in a few years; when the great success of the first series of "The O'Hara Tales," appeared to open the way to fame and fortune. In these he was the first to depart from the path chosen by the Morgans and the Edgworths, and to exhibit the crime, the passion, and the tragedy of the cabin, in all their dark colours. Carleton, Griffin, and others have since followed, but have not surpassed him. He was

in a large share of the quarrels and animosities of authorship.

At Highgate, aged 42, Lady Charlotte Beauclerk, sister to the Duke of St. Alban's.

13. The Rev. Samuel Hooper Whittuck, M.A., of St. Mary Hall, Oxford, eldest son of S. Whittuck, esq., of Hanham Hall, Gloucestershire.

--

At his seat, Minterne, Dorsetshire, aged 73, Adm. Sir Henry Digby, G.C.B. Adm. Digby was the eldest son of the Hon. and Very Rev. Wil liam Digby, Dean of Durham (brother to Henry first Earl of Digby), by Charlotte, daughter of Joseph Cox, esq., and niece of the late Sir Charles Sheffield, Bart. He entered the navy in 1784, under the care of the late Adm. Innes, and served for some time as a midshipman on board the Europu of 50 guns, in the West Indies; was made a Lieutenant in 1790; commanded the Incendiary sloop in 1796, and subsequently the Aurora, a small frigate, on the Lisbon station, where he cruized very successfully, and in addition to forty-eight sail of the enemy's merchantmen, taken, sunk, or destroyed, captured a Spanish frigate, pierced for 30 guns, a French corvette of 20 guns, a privateer of the like force, and several others, carrying in the whole 214 guns and 744 men. His post commission bore date Dec. 19, 1796. In the autumn of 1796, Capt. Digby, was appointed to the Leviathan, a thirdrate, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Duckworth, with whom he served at the reduction of Minorca. In 1799 he removed to the Alcmene frigate, in which he cruised between the coast of Portugal and the Azores, and made many captures; and in October of that year, in company with the Naiad and Triton frigates, had the good fortune to intercept two very richly-laden Spanish galleons, on their way from Vera Cruz. In the spring of 1801, he removed into the Resistance, a frigate of the largest class, and, on his way out to North America, captured the Elizabeth, a French letter of marque, from Cayenne, bound to Bordeaux, the last vessel taken during that war. As captain of the Africa, 64, he bore, in 1805, a distinguished part in the battle of Trafal gar, when his ship lost 18 killed and 44 wounded. Lord Nelson expressed to Sir Thomas Hardy his high approbation of Capt. Digby's conduct; he was honoured with a gold medal, and, in

common with his brother officers, received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament. He was nominated a Companion of the Bath on the enlargement of the order; and a Knight Commander in March, 1831. He was promoted to the rank of Rear-Adm. 1819, ViceAdm. 1830, and Admiral 1841. In 1840 he was appointed Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness.

At Ballinagown, near Portadown, aged 116, Mrs. Mary Corr. She possessed great mental and physical faculties, was gifted with a strong understanding and most retentive memory; and of that portion of our history commencing with the reign of George 11., she bad a most vivid recollection. The storming of Quebec and the death of Wolfe, the capture of the Havannah, the naval victories of Rodney, and the taking of Carrickfergus by Thurot, were events which she narrated with much animation; and she related with much amusing effect, the national consternation on the successes of Paul Jones. With the rise and progress of the United Irishmen she was perfectly acquainted. She attended the weekly market of Portadown regularly, till within three years of her death; and her sight was so good that she could thread a fine cambric needle.

16. At Ferozepore, Henry Millett Travers, Lieut. 8th Reg. Bengal Native Infantry, attached to the 1st Light In fantry battalion, third son of Benjamin Travers, esq., of Bruton-street, in his 26th year.

17. At Kensington, aged 71, the Rev. W. Morgan, Vicar of Tollesbury, Essex. At Pitsford, Northamptonshire, the Rev. Edward Collins Wright, Rector of that parish, and Perpetual Curate of Bradley, Staffordshire.

Aged 47, Mr. Henry Floyd, of Romsey, bricklayer. He had within the last few years attained such an enormous bulk as to become an object of curiosity and astonishment. Although his weight exceeded 32 stone of 14 lbs. he rode about in his cart with apparent ease, attended to his business, and was a constant attendant at church. His coffin was seven feet in length, three feet two inches in width, and two feet six inches in depth. He was considered the heaviest man in England,

18. At the Elms, near Cheltenham, where he had resided for many years, aged 70, Sir Robert Tristrain Ricketts, Bart., Vice-Adm. of the Blue, D.C.L.

20. At Walton-upon-Thames, in his 49th year, William Maginn, LL.D. Dr. Maginn was a native of the city of Cork, and at an unusually early age (in his tenth year) he entered the University of Dublin, under the tuition of Dr. Kyle, afterwards Provost, and now Bishop of Cork, one of the most distinguished classical scholars of his time. The uncommon talents of young Maginn, and his undeviating success, entirely won the attachment of the rigid tutor, an attachment that lasted to the close of Maginn's life. He attained the degree of LL.D. in 1816, at the age of twenty-three. He was one of the earliest correspondents of the "Literary Gazette," and having removed from his native country to Edinburgh, became, 1818-19-20, a constant and striking contributor to Blackwood's celebrated magazine. Therein the famous Hebrew M.S., and consequeut law-suit and commotion may be attributed to him ("O'Doherty"); and his intimate connection with such distinguished persons as Wilson, Lockhart, Hamilton, and others, led to the expansion of his views, and had a considerable and guiding influence upon his future and varied fortunes. He returned to Cork for a while, and thence coming to London in 1823, continued his literary pursuits with vigour and activity. Of this, the singular romance of "Whitehall" was one of the most ostensible proofs; but his other and less known employments were multiplied and incessant. For the first sixteen months he edited a Wednesday newspaper, belonging to Mr. Shackell, which was his inducement to settle in the metropolis. We believe he resided in Paris in 1825-6, through an engagement with Mr. Murray. About 1828-9 he joined the "Standard" newspaper, and till nearly the period of his death was more or less intimately connected with that journal, which his ardent Tory, or Conservative, articles, and his admirable skill as a political controversialist, justly raised in reputation and efficacy as the organ of a great party in the State. In 1830 Maginn began a new career in "Fraser's Magazine," to which his contributions for the last twelve years have been most miscellaneous and

excellent. These alone being collected, are enough to establish his fame as an able critic and accomplished scholar. Dr. Maginn was a good linguist, endowed with a vivid and prolific fancy, and full to overflowing of that riotous, mercurial, extravagant humour, which is admired so much in Rabelais. At times, he could be sternly, bitterly, sarcastic; no man more so; but, generally speaking, the leading quality of his humour was bonhommie. In his private capacity, the Doctor was social, warm-hearted, thoughtless, and ever ready to assist destitute literary men, and indeed, all who applied to him for pecuniary aid.

At Kinfauns Castle, Perthshire, aged 67, the Right Hon. Francis Gray, fifteenth Lord Gray of Gray, co. Forfar, F.R.S.

At Southampton, aged 61, Col. John Huskisson, of her Majesty's Forest of East Bere, Hants, brother of the late Right Hon. William Huskisson. The deceased had served his country forty-five years, and performed his different offices with great zeal and attention.
