He was born in 1776, and married in 1798, Susannah, daughter and eventually heir of the late Hon. Matthias Finucane, Judge of the Common Pleas in Ireland, by Anne, daughter of Edward O'Brien, esq., of Ennistymon.

At his residence, the Oaks, Milverton, near Leamington, aged 86, John Wilkes Unett, esq. The deceased gentleman was the son of the Rev. Thomas Unett, Rector of Coppenhall, Staffordshire. He was admitted an attorney in 1794, and entered into partnership with Mr. George Hollington Barker, and subsequently with his son, the late Mr. George Barker. When the partnership was dissolved, Mr. Unett commenced practice on his own account, and (in connection with his sons, Messrs. John and George Unett,) continued actively engaged in professional duties until June last, when he retired, and went to reside at Leamington. Notwithstanding his great age, (in his 87th year,) he retained to nearly the last the full possession of unusually acute mental and vigorous bodily powers, which enabled him to sustain an amount of exertion far beyond the endurance of many younger men. Although few persons resident in Birmingham were more widely known, Mr. Unett could scarcely be called a public man, in the general acceptance of that term, except as honorary secretary of the Society of Arts. In 1839 he was elected a Governor of King Edward's School, and towards the close of his life he was placed in the Commission of the Peace for the county; but his chief public services were rendered in connection with the Society of Arts. Of this institution he was virtually the founder. The society was instituted in 1820 by Mr. Unett and Sir Robert Lawley, (afterwards Lord Wenlock.) The plan for the society was framed by Mr. Unett, and laid before Sir Ro was then residing in Italy. £600 worth of casts, an ham. Mr. Unett lab fully to interest t the institution

death, with the exception of a few months, Mr. Unett continued to act as honorary secretary, and to his constant exertions in the outset of the society's career much of its success is attributable. At a later period he assisted the present Bishop of Manchester in increasing its efficiency by connecting with it a School of Art. Mr. Unett's attention was directed to other objects as well as art. He was mainly instrumental in procuring the separation of North Harborne from Harborne parish, and gave a site for a church and parsonage-house in the former parish, besides liberally contributing to the building fund. He also gave a site for the church recently erected at Smethwick, and for a parsonage, now in course of being built; and his last acts were to subscribe handsome sums towards the proposed two new churches in the parish of Harborne. In private life Mr. Unett was highly esteemed as an upright, honourable, and just man, and he merited to a large degree the respect and confidence of his professional brethren in Birmingham, of whom he was the senior. His remains were interred on Wednesday, in the family vault at Smethwick Old Church.

Aged 61, Mary, wife of Jas. A. Harris, esq., of Goddington-hall, near Orpington.

At Chipping Ongar, aged 45, Harriet, wife of the Rev. E. Fisher.

At his residence, St. Martin's, Leicester, aged 70, Wm. Cooke, esq. He had been connected with the public business of the county, and with other institutions, for many years. Amongst others, he held the appointments of Secretary of the Leicester Savings'-Bank, and Treasurer of the county of Leicester, with several others of minor importance. Cooke acted for many years as the deputy-treasurer of the county, the custom having been to nominate some magistrate of the county to the office of Treasurer; but in the year 1844 this practice was altered, and Mr. Cooke became County Treasurer, performing the functions henceforth without any deputy. Mr. Cooke was a well-known member of the Order of Freemasons. He was initiated in the St. John's Lodge, Leicester, in the year 1818, and having passed through the usual offices, was made Master of his Lodge in 1823, having given way the preceding year to Lord Howe, who, it will be remembered, laid the foundation stone of St. George's Church in that year. Mr. Cooke for many years also held the office of Secretary to the Provincial Grand Lodge, and performed all his Masonic and public duties with the peculiar characteristic of Freemasonry-fidelity.

Aged 64, Samuel Johnston, esq., of the firm of Messrs. S. Johnston and Co., Orange-court, Liverpool, and brother-in-law to Mr. BramleyMoore, M.P. for Maldon.

Mr. Mark Hicks, of Tilbury, and Mr. Hands, of Wolverhampton, were unfortunately killed on the 13th inst., on the Newport and Hereford railway. The cause of this sad accident was the breaking of a leading spring of the engine, which the driver found was lost on arriving at Abergavenny, and most culpably proceeded with the damaged engine, and while proceeding at twentyfive miles an hour round the curve at Nantyderry, the engine got off the rails and drew the carriages after it across the line. At that moment, most unfortunately, a luggage-train passed right through the carriage as it stood ac oss the line, and these two gentlemen were killed. Mr. Hicks has left a wife and five children, and had only lately insured his life against accidents for £1,000. Although money is a poor recompense for loss of a husband and a father, yet the deceased gentleman's prudence cannot enhance the

grief which his family must feel at such an awful termination of an active life. It is singular that Mr. Hicks, when at Hereford station, was strongly advocating life and railway insurance, little thinking, poor man, how soon his family would have to obtain his insurance.

Sir William Trelawny was born in 1781, and was educated at Westminster, and Christ Church, Oxford. He married in 1807 Patience, dau. of J. P. Carpenter, esq., and in 1834, attained the title.

Nov. 16. On the 16th instant died at Hastings, in the 79th year of his age, Mr. Henry Henland, a Germa long resident in this country as a scientific deal r in minerals, and for some years Foreign Secretary of the Geological Soc ety. Mr. Henland commenced business in L ndon as a m neralogist some fifty years since, having purchased, as the basis of his collection, the minerals of a renowned dealer of the last century, commonly known to connoisseurs as 'Old Humphrey.' Nearly the whole of the very fine collection of minerals in the British Museum, the finest collection, indeed, known, were supplied by Mr. Henland, or purchased by the Trustees at his periodical sales, and the celebrated collection of the late Mr. C. Hampden Turner, of Rook snest, was formed by him. Through the exertions, chiefly, of Mr. Henland, an important catalogue of this last collection was published. It was commenced in 1820 by M. Levy, of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Brussels, and completed, with the assistance of Mr. Brookes, in 1837. It fills three octavo volumes of nearly five hundred pages each, and is accompanied by an atlas of 83 quarto plates, containing outline diagrams of more than a thousand forms of crysta s, all drawn by M. Levy, and forming the most valuable figures of the kind extant.

The Norwich Mercury in announcing the death of Mr. C. Muskett, a well-known and much respected bookseller of that city, states that "he was a man of ripe knowledge in mediæval literature; collecting old books, not alone to disperse them among the libraries of the noble and the rich, but for their own sake; and he never part d with a rare or a richly-illustrated work without a sigh of regret that it should leave his own possession. Equally with literature, he was a lover of the fine-arts, and his own collection of drawings were witnesses of his pure taste, his practised and enlightened knowledge. Mr. Muskett was also strongly devoted to the study of the antiquities of this city, and had made large and valuable collections for the illustration of this his favourite pursuit. Most of the books, within the last eight or ten years, which have been published on local antiquities, came from Mr. Muskett's press, while several of them are not only indebted in their outward appearance to his care as publisher, but the value of their contents increased by his gathered information."

In early life Mr. Bogue became assistant to Mr. Thomas Ireland, bookseller, of Edinburgh. While in this position Mr. Bogue was offered more lucrative engagements; but from a feeling of honour he refused to quit his ailing employer, and remained with him till his death. În 1836 Mr. Bogue came to London, bringing with him letters of introduction to Mr. Tilt, who immediately engaged his services, soon after took him into partnership, and in the course of two or three years retired from the business, leaving it entirely in the hands of Mr. Bogue. Mr. Bogue, although of a quiet, unassuming disposition, possessed great intelligence and untiring energy. He was the anonymous author of several works-chiefly books for children,-which were received with favour. He was a man of enterprise, kind and gene: ous in disposition, and of the strictes integrity.

Lately, at Mouriac, in France, of typhus fever, aged 21, John Arthur Herbert. He was the author of "Philip IV. of Spain Knighting Velasquez," one of the most admired pictures in the exhibition at the National Gallery this year, and one which, by its genuine feeling and historic truth, attracted the special commendation of her Majesty and Prince Albert, who highly complimented Mr. Herbert on his son's success and promise of future distinction.
