donations, superior intelligence, and high moral rectitude. Few men, comparatively speaking, ever enjoyed so large a share of private esteem and regard as did Mr. Coulthart, and his deeply regretted death has created a blank amongst his friends, and in the neighbourhood where he resided, that is never likely to be filled up. He was the sole surviving son and heir of the late William Coulthart, Esq., of Coulthart, by Janet, his wife, daughter of John Macnaught, Esq., of Milton Hall, in the stewartry of Kirkcudbright, and was thus, paternally, the direct lineal descendant of that ancient and honourable Scottish chieftain, Sir Roger de Coulthart, knight, who distinguished himself at the Battle of Aberbrothic, 13th January, 1445-6, and fell at the siege of Roxburgh Castle, 17th Sept. 1460. By Helen, his wife, (who survives him), daughter of the late John Ross. Esq., of Dalton, co. Dumfries, a descendant of the Rosses, of Hawkshead, co. Renfrew, and a collateral relation of the Boyles, Earls of Glasgow, Mr. Coulthart has left a son and a daughter, namely Mr. John Ross Coulthart, of Croft House, Lancashire, who succeeds to the estates of the family and the chiefship of the name; and Margaret, wife of James Macguffie, Esq., of Bolton-wood House, co. Cumberland. Crawford Charles Venner, Esq., formerly of the India House, 8th Oct., at Bristol, aged 47.

try, a sound Churchman, a classical scholar, and an eloquent Divine, has died deeply and sincerely lamented. The melancholy event occurred at Brighton, on the 16th instant. He received his education at the University of Cambridge, where he graduated in 1796, as Second Wrangler, and where he afterwards obtained a Fellowship at Trinity College. The important Rectory of Clapham he held for thirty years, and to the ministerial duties of that large parish he was incessant in his devotion. On the preferment of Dr. Wilberforce to the see of Oxford, Dr. Dealtry was appointed to the Archdeaconry of Surrey; and in a visitation charge delivered almost immediately after by the newly-consecrated Diocesan, his Lordship spoke in the highest terms of the Archdeacon, alluding to him "as one of the most practical men in the Church, an accomplished scholar, a sound Divine, a generous friend, and one deeply imbued with that holy faith of which he was the eloquent expounder.' By his death, the Rectory of Clapham, as well as the Archdeaconry of Surrey, become vacant. latter is in the gift of the Bishop of Winchester.

Dr. Forbes was not only a good scholar in the common acceptation of the word, but had devoted a great deal of time to scientific pursuits, in which his excellence was so marked, that the Senatus unanimously appointed him to lecture on Chemistry. "In this department," says a Northern Contemporary, "and, indeed, in everything connected with the progress of the human mind, the departed gentleman displayed great ingenuity and thorough independence of thought." At one time, Dr. Forbes performed the duties of minister at Boharm, but he was afterwards removed to Old Aberdeen. Garnier, the Right Hon.

Glascock, Wm. Nugent, Esq., Capt. R.N. This amusing writer, whose nautical novels and frequent contributions to periodical literature have so long delighted the public, died in Ireland a short time since. He had quitted Dublin apparently in perfect health and spirits, to pay a visit to his relations at Ballynrowan, near Baltinglass, but on stepping from the stage coach into a friend's carriage, he was seized with apoplexy, and died almost immediately. The gallant officer, whose commission as Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, bears date in 1808, stood high in the estimation of his profession, and the admiralty. In 1801, he fought in the Vengeance at Copenhagen; was Mate of the Barfleur in Sir Robert Calder's action, and served, while Lieutenant of the Denmark, in the Walcheren expedition. In 1832, he was posted from the Orestes for his firm and prudent conduct in VOL. IV.-NO. XIX

command of a squadron of small vessels in the Douro, during the struggle between Dons Pedro and Miguel. A few days before his death, Captain Glascock had left Newry on retiring from the office of Inspector under the Poor Relief Act; and the fact of his having been presented with twenty-two public addresses from his District Committees, proves he was eminently calculated to command and to excite the co-operation of those who served with him. He leaves a widow and family.

Sir Robert, who was born in 1791, graduated at Christ Church, Oxford, and entered the diplomatic service in 1810, when he accompanied the embassy to Persia. He subsequently acted as Secretary of Legation and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Hague; and, in the latter capacity, represented, for ten years, his Sovereign at the Court of Vienna. In 1826 he proceeded to Brazil, as Envoy Extraordinary; and, in 1828, was appointed Ambassador to Constantinople. His last official appointment was the important one of Ambassador Extraordinary to the Emperor of Austria.

Hodgson, the Rev. William, D.D., Master of St. Peter's, Cambridge, 16th Oct. Dr. Hodgson was the thirty-seventh Master of St. Peter's, since the foundation of the College. At the period of his decease, he was in the forty-seventh year of his age, and the tenth of his mastership. His entrance at the University bears date in 1819, and his Bachelor's degree in 1823-a year known as Airey's year," from the fact of the Astronomer Royal having been Senior Wrangler on that occasion. Mr. Hodgson held the place of Eleventh Wrangler. In 1826, he proceeded to his Master's degree; in 1833, was created B.D.; and, in 1838, obtained the Presidency of St. Peter's, at the death of the Venerable Dr. Barnes; and, very shortly after, he became D.D. Few members of the learned community of which he formed part were more universally beloved and respected. For some time past, he had been in a declining state of health, but no immediate danger was apprehended until shortly before the fatal termination of his illness. The College Chapel will be hung with black, and all outward testimonies of respect to the deceased Principal will be observed by the authorities. Dr. Hodgson married, in 1838, Charlotte, daughter of General Tarleton, of Chester, and leaves issue, two sons and one daughter.

Horseley, the very Rev. Heneage, Dean of Brechin, 6th Oct., aged 72. Howard, Henry, Esq., R.A., 5th Oct., aged 77. Mr. Howard, the Royal Academician, was Secretary to the Academy, and the Professor of Painting in that Institution. The professional career of this distinguished artist commenced in 1794, when he sent from Rome, where he was then residing, The Dream of Cain," from Gesner's, "Death of Abel," for the Royal Academy Exhibition of that year. In the following season he was living in the Strand, and exhibited at Somerset House "Puck," from "Midsummer Night's Dream," "Ariel and Satan awakening in the Burning Lake,” and, for nearly forty years, he continued to contribute without intermission to the annual displays of the Royal Academy. In 1801 he was elected an associate; and, in 1808, an Academician of that Corporation; and, at the period of his decease, was the third senior Royal Academician. On the death of Mr. Richards, in 1811, Mr. Howard was appointed Secretary to the Academy, the duties of which office he continued to discharge till his advanced years rendered the services of a deputy necessary, and Mr. Knight was nominated as such. Mr. Howard filled for some years the important office of Professor of Painting to the Academy, to which he was appointed in 1833. Although devoted throughout a long life to the poetic portion of his art, Mr. Howard at one time applied much of his practice to portrait painting. Numerous and excellent as were his early productions, he does not appear to have met with many patrons. One, however, was a host in himself, and this was Sir John Soane, who was a valued friend. Several of Mr. Howard's pictures now adorn the Soane Museum in Lincoln's-inn-fields.

John Mackay, Rector of Loughgeil, in the co. of Antrim, entered the army in the year 1804, at the early age of 18, as Ensign in the 82nd Regiment, and had, therefore, served upwards of 42 years. He took part in nearly the entire of the Peninsula War; was present at the seige and capture of Cindad, Rodrigo, Talavera, &c.; was twice wounded at Barossa, and was specially complimented by General Grahame, for his gallant conduct upon that occasion. He fought also at the battle of Corunna,

where General Sir John Moore fell; and, at the siege of Copenhagen, he volunteered, and led the Forlorn Hope, which, at his special request, was entirely composed of Irishmen. He accompanied his regiment to America in the last war, and was present at the battles of Quebec, Niagara, Montreal, &c.; subsequently, after remaining thirteen years in the Mauritius, and seven years in Jamaica, he was on duty for the second time, in North America, where he fell a victim to the pestilence and disease with which that country has been unfortunately visited this last summer. Though a rigid disciplinarian, Colonel Mackay was greatly be loved by his officers and men. His family, which was a branch of the ancient and noble family of Mackay, Lords of Rea, in Scotland, settled at an early period in Lisburn, in the co. of Antrim. His grandfather, Joseph Mackay, Esq., was magistrate of the county for upwards of forty years; and removed from Lisburn to the town of Antrim, where he possessed considerable property. Colonel Mackay died unmarried; and his property is inherited by the children of his only sister, who was married to Dr. O'Neil, of Comber, co. of Down.
