At Court Henry, Carmarthenshire, aged 68, Mary Anne, wife of the Rev. George Wade Green.

At Lausanne, Switzerland, aged 23, William, eldest son of the late Dr. James Russell, of Edinburgh.

At Cringleford, near Norwich, Mr. William Tyler, who was for several years proprietor of the Surrey Zoological Gardens; he had been for some years secretary to Mr. Cross, the original founder of them, when in 1844 he became himself the proprietor. He retained the proprietorship until 1858, when the property became vested in a limited liability company, and it is at this time serving as the temporary site of St. Thomas' Hospital.

At Stamford, aged 55, Mr. Henry Boor, formerly for many years in the service of the London and North Western Railway Company. The deceased was well known to the neighbouring Architectural Societies, and also to the Archæological Association, his very valuable and extensive collection of coins having formed a very attractive feature in their temporary museums in Stamford and other towns. By a life of industry he also collected a valuable library of topographical works, local newspapers, pamphlets, &c., all of which were ever at the service of those who took any interest in such matters, and his knowledge of antiquarian and numismatic subjects was very high, and was freely imparted to all, especially to young beginners.

Oct. 3. At Humberston, Leicester, aged 71, Richard Roscoe, M.D., of London, sixth son of the late William Roscoe, esq., of Liverpool, author of the "Life of Lorenzo de Medici," &c.

At Wrenbury-hall (the residence of her nephew, Major Starkey), aged 70, Maria Edgar Corthine, widow of Thomas Hewitt, esq., formerly of Guildford-st., London.

Suddenly, at his chambers, Harcourt-buildings, Temple, aged 50, Charles Winston, esq., of the Inner Temple, barrister-at-law. See OBITUARY.

At Kentish-town, aged 52, Mr. John Smith Heaviside, wood-engraver. He was the second son of Mr. Thomas Heaviside, of Stocktonupon-Tees, builder, and the eldest of three sons of that gentleman who adopted the profession of wood-engraving, all of whom were originally devoted to different pursuits. His next youngest brother, Thomas Heaviside, was the first to enter the profession, he being one of the earliest pupils of the elder Bonner; and it was by his younger brother that John was initiated into the art,-not until, however, he had attained the age of twenty-six years. After

working for some time in London, Mr. Heaviside entered into an engagement with Mr. O. Jewitt, of Oxford, and ultimately embarked in business at that city, in partnership with Mr. Philip Delamotte. Most archæological students are familiar with the engravings produced by this firm for Mr. Parker's works connected with architecture. Architectural subjects were always Mr. Heaviside's preference and specialty; indeed, his experience as a young man in his father's business rendered him peculiarly fitted for this sort of illustration.

Oct. 4. At Prior Bank, near Melrose, aged 72, Mr. Wm. Tait, formerly known to the public as a publisher and politician. He retired from business about sixteen years ago, when he bought the Prior Bank house and property, and has chiefly resided there ever since. He was unmarried, and the nearest relative he leaves is his sister, Mrs. Adam Black. Mr. Tait was a man of very distinct individuality of character. He was able in all things to follow the bent of his own independent will, for his father, a successful builder, left him opulent. In 1832 he established "Tait's Edinburgh Magazine," which in its palmy days was remarkable alike for its outspokenness and for the talent of its contributors. Ebenezer Elliot sent to it fiery verse and sledge-hammer prose. In its pages De Quincy speculated, subtilized, and recalled the days of his youth when the voice of Coleridge was in his enchanted ears, and the sunshine in the Cumberland vales was made brighter by the genius of Wordsworth. George Gilfillan contributed to "Tait" the most brilliant of his literary portraits. Professor Blackie - but he was not professor then-sent to it stirring translations from the German. The "Magazine" was started after the Reform Bill, and it became no inconsiderable power in the country. Mr. Tait was a thorough Reformer, and whenever a battle was to be fought he was certain to be in front of it. He was a kind-hearted man, always ready to lend a helping hand to struggling genius. He was the sincere personal friend of Robert Nicol, and the publisher of his poems.Scottish Paper.

At Kirklands of Ancrum, Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, aged 84, John Richardson, esq. See OBITUARY.

Aged 68, William Vince, esq., late Captain Wiltshire Militia, son of the late Major Chivers Vince, of Clift-hall, of the same county.

In the Strand, aged 76, Capt. Andrew Torrens, (brother of the late Col. R. Torrens, F.R.S., the celebrated political writer,) one of the principal shareholders and for many years resident manager of the "Globe" newspaper. He had served some time in the 70th regiment of the line, and had seen much service. He was a courteous and worthy gentleman, much liked by those who knew him or served under him.

At Kaiserswerth, aged 63, the Pastor Theodore Fliedner, the founder of the Deaconess Insti

tutions. "There are few persons interested in the religious life of the Continent who have not heard of this interesting attempt to revive the system of accredited women's work, which for the last twenty-eight years has been systematically proceeding in the Protestant Church of Germany. Curiously enough, the idea may be said to have originated in this country, the pastor's attention being especially drawn to missions among female prisoners whilst on a visit to England, during which he became acquainted with Mrs. Fry. On his return, he not only succeeded in founding a society for the relief of discharged prisoners, but (although simply a country pastor) he determined to make a practical attempt himself. With one Christian woman as a fellow-helper, he received a single discharged female prisoner, the only accommodation he could offer being a small summerhouse in the garden of the parsonage at Kaiserswerth. From this very small beginning, the grain of mustard-seed, as the Pastor delighted to call it, proceeded the present noble institution, with its 350 labourers, working not only in the hospital, schools, Magdalene House, &c., of the parent institution, but distributed all over Germany, and even over the world. The pastor lived to see the foundation of upwards of thirty different independent Deaconess Institutions, at places as wide apart as Paris, Smyrna, Jerusalem, Pittsburg (America), London, Stockholm, Copenhagen, &c., containing in the aggregate nearly two thousand deaconesses. It is not too much to say that these women are found wherever sickness is to be relieved or ignorance to be instructed. It was at Kaiserswerth, under Pastor Fliedner, that Miss Nightingale first received her training, preparatory to her labours in the Crimea. English residents in the East have been deeply indebted to Kaiserswerth deaconesses for much kindness in sickness, as well as considerate care in the education of their children: so much indeed is our own country thought of in these missions, that a knowledge of English is a special recommendation in a deaconess who is to go to the Eastern stations. Quite recently, deaconesses were nursing the wounded in the Danish war; and, should an European war break out, the horrors of the military hospitals would be mitigated by the labours of the different continental deaconess institutions, which, though quite independent, are in very close and sympathising union. Incidentally, it is a very strong testimony to the Christian character and earnestness of Pastor Fliedner, that he should have succeeded in uniting so large a number of fellow-labourers with him in his work, as is implied in a union of thirty Deaconess Institutions in all parts of the world. Pastor Fliedner was naturally anxious to see the system tried in this country, and on the commencement of the attempt in London (at 50, Burton-crescent), which coincided with his twenty-fifth anniversary, took the liveliest interest in it, sending over a Kaiserswerth dea

coness, and afterwards continuing in constant correspondence with its officers. The circumstances of his death were peculiar. At the twenty-fifth anniversary of the foundation of the Society, a Conference was held of all the Deaconess Institutions: the results were so satisfactory that it was determined to make the Conference triennial. It was fixed for October 5th and 6th of the present year. A few days before the deputies were to assemble, notice was sent of the alarming illness of Pastor Fliedner, and the Conference was necessarily postponed. He died on the 4th, and his funeral took place on the 7th, so that he lay dead at the very time the Conference was to have assembled. In appearance, Pastor Fliedner was rather below the middle height, with a peculiarly keen and decided expression, at the same time free from sharpness. He performed all his labours, as so many eminent men have done, in spite of very infirm health, suffering severely from chronic bronchitis. Yet, notwithstanding a distressing cough, which it was painful to hear, he was indefatigable in the work of his Institution. He was twice married, and leaves a large family of children to deplore his loss, which, humanly speaking, seems irreparable, not to them only, but to the Church at large. He is truly a remarkable instance of what earnest faith and singleminded energy can accomplish for the good of others."-John Bull.

Oct. 5. At her residence, the Chateau de Renouard, near Vimontiers (Orme), aged 88, Madame the Dowager de Corday. The "Paris Union" relates that the deceased was of the same family as Charlotte Corday, being a distant cousin. Though ten years younger than Charlotte, she knew her well, and always spoke of her "as a young person usually serious and reserved, having the manners of a well-bred lady, according to the usages and traditions of the Corday family, but who could laugh on occasion, was very fond of children, and loved to share their amusements."

Aged 53, Montague Gore, esq., one of the family of the Gores of Barrow. He was born in 1811, was well known in the literary world, and was an able contributor to the newspaper press. He sat in Parliament for Devizes in 1833-4, and for Barnstaple in 1841, and was an effective and eloquent speaker in the House of Commons. He took great interest in the welfare of sailors, and particularly in those shipwrecked. He had been for many years past an active member of the committee of management of the National Lifeboat Institution, and was always found at its annual meetings pleading its 'cause in eloquent terms. He also travelled a great deal to promote the establishment of Sailors' Homes, and in him the sailor has lost a true and liberal friend. Mr. Gore was author of pamphlets on Parliamentary Reform, Ireland, Poland, Canada, the West Indies, British India, Our Foreign Relations, the National Defences, the Organization of the French Army, Chartist Meetings, the

Character of the Duke of Wellington, Sailors' Homes, and the Dwellings of the Poor; and he translated a work by Valentini on the Seat of War in Europe, 1854.

Scott was son of Mr. Scott of Timpendean, near Ancrum, and the youngest of seven sons. The family of the Scotts are well known over the whole border as celebrated agriculturalists, their energies being set at work whenever they entered a farm to at once reclaim all the waste land. Thousands of acres of waste land have been got into splendid order in Roxburghshire by the exer

tions of the family, who always aided each other with purse and horses whenever one took a farm far from a railway station with land which had to be reclaimed. Their system was to lime every acre, and drain all the land which required it. One of their greatest feats was to lime the whole of the large farm of Ricalton among the Cheviots, about twenty miles distant from any railway station. This was the system pursued by the father, who raised himself from a very humble man to be proprietor of an estate worth £9,000. The family of the Scotts hold some of the finest farms in Roxburghshire-seven in all-extending to upwards of 12,000 acres, with a rental of as many pounds. Mr. Scott was much esteemed in the district, and his advice was much appreciated by all agriculturists.-Scottish paper.

In Maida-hill, aged 67, Capt. Martin Wm. Becher, a well-known sportsman, and the father of steeplechase riders. The son of a Norfolk farmer, who was a celebrated horseman, Capt. Becher commenced his career on a pony, and was remarkable as well for the boldness of his riding as for the judgment he displayed in the hunting-field. Being popular with the noblemen and gentlemen in his neighbourhood, he received the appointment of captain in a yeomanry regiment, which gave him a status among his contemporaries of much benefit throughout his career. After some thirty years of jockeyship, he retired in 1838, his frame requiring rest from the many severe accidents he encountered during his career, and which caused him afterwards to walk lame. In appearance Captain Becher was

strong as a Hercules, and he could endure any amount of labour and fatigue. In knowledge of pace he was second to none, and in finding out the weak parts of a country he was very clever. Against his integrity nothing was ever alleged, but he failed to make hay while the sun shone, and retired into privacy upon a competency on his wife's side, which rendered the close of his chequered career calm and placid.-Times.

Oct. 12. At his residence, Northbournecourt, near Deal, aged 52, Charles Hannam, esq., third son of the late H. P. Hannam, esq. At Maldon, aged 46, Mary, wife of the Rev. T. T. Cresswell, Vicar of Steeple with Stangate, Essex.
