pointed to preach the Bampton Lectures in 1813, which he published under the title of "A Key to the Writings of the principal Fathers of the Christian Church who flourished in the first three Centuries." He had already become known as an author by the publication, in 1807, of the "Life of Thuanus;" and his "Analysis of Hooker," prepared with great industry and judgment, was recommended to the clergy in the Visitation Charge of Huntingford, Eishop of Gloucester. Through the interest of his uncle, who was a member of the capitular body, he was early in life presented by the Dean and Chapter of Worcester to the living of Mortlake, on the Surrey side of the Thames, near London; and by his marriage with Emily, daughter of the Rev. Richard King, M.A., Rector of Worthen, in Salop, and niece of Sir Thomas Bernard, Bart., he became connected with the family of Bishop Barrington, who collated him, in 1810, to the Rectory of Gateshead, where his immediate predecessor was Dr. Phillpotts, the venerable bishop of Exeter. Mr. Collinson remained at Gateshead for the long space of thirty years, discharging the functions of the pastoral office and performing the duties of a magistrate to the complete satisfaction of the inhabitants of that populous parish, who, on two several occasions, viz. April 14, 1831, and December 30, 1839, presented him with valuable testimonials of their sincere esteem and affectionate regard. Few clergymen, perhaps, have been equally successful in conciliating the good-will and attachment of successive generations, who learned to admire and appreciate the many excellent qualities that adorned his character, the high moral worth and great kindliness of his disposition, his unostentatious charity and unwearying attention to the temporal and spiritual welfare of the flock committed to his charge. The period of his incumbency was marked by several occurrences of local interest and importance. We may mention particularly the erection and consecration (Aug. 30, 1825,) of St. John's Church, on Gateshead Fell, which had been inclosed by act of parliament, and constituted a distinct rectory and parish; and the restoration of the ancient chapel of the Holy Trinity, which, after having been disused for religious purposes since the reign of Henry VIII., was opened for divine service, and set apart as a chapel of ease to the parish church of St. Mary, Oct. 15, 1837, bishop Maltby preaching upon the occasion. Nor should we omit to not ce here also the institution of the Gateshead Dispensary, in whi h, as in all other undertakings designed to promote the public good, the Rector took a prominent part. This excellent charity was suggested by the first outbreak of cholera, in the winter of 1831-2, when so many of the poorer inhabitants were suddenly cut off by the awful scourge. To the memory of the victims, Mr. Collinson erected an obelisk in St. Edmund's burial-ground, on the pedestal of which is inscribed the impressive warning, In the midst of life we are in death; watch, therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." In 1840

Bishop Maltby, considering that the long and useful services of Mr. Collinson in so laborious a cure justly entitled him to a position in the Church where the responsibility would weigh less heavily upon him, and the duties would be less onerous, collated him to the rectory of Boldon, then rendered vacant by the decease of his friend and neighbour, the Rev. Nath. J. Hollingsworth, M.A.; and, that he might further realize the otium cum dignitate, the same prelate shortly afterwards nominated him one of the Honorary Canons of Durham Cathedral. At Boldon he continued through the remainder of his life, peaceably employed in the duties of his professi n, and enjoying the confidence and esteem of his new parishioners. To the great regret of all who knew him, he was, in the course of last year, incapacitated for the active duties of the ministry by an attack of paralysis, and, after an illness of some months' duration, expired on the 17th instant, in the 76th year of his age. Long will the memory of this worthy man be revered by those who enjoyed the privilege of his friendship, and the benefit of his judicious counsel. He was a Churchman of the old school, moderate in his opinions, and free from all party extremes; a faithful and true pastor, most attentive to the duties of his sacred calling; an accomplished scholar, sensible and well-informed; exemplary in all the relations of life, simple in his manners, courteous in his demeanour, extremely kind-hearted, and ever ready to be of use to all who applied to him for advice and assistance. He has left a widow, and a large family of children and grandchildren, to deplore their loss. Of his sons, the eldest is the Rev. Henry King Collinson, M.A., Vicar of Stannington; the second is Captain Richard Collinson, R.N.,C. B., who has achieved for himself a world-wide reputation as an arctic voyager; and the third is also a distinguished officer, who, we believe, has rendered important services to his country, Captain Thomas Bernard Collinson, of the Royal Engineers. Besides the works already mentio ed, Mr. Collinson was the author of a "History of the Preparation for the Gospel," and a "History of the Reformation in Switzerland," transl ted and abridged from the French of Abraham Ruchat. The following single sermons have also come under our notice: "The practice of Christian Duties by Individuals a Remedy for National Evils;" preached at Gateshead in 1817; A Sermon preached at the opening of Gateshead Fell Church, October 30, 1825; and a Farewell Sermon, preached at Gateshead, December 29, 1839.

SIR GEORGE WILLIAM ANDERSON, K.C.B. Jan. 17. At his residence, Westbourn -terrace, aged 66, Sir George William Anderson, K.C.B.

The deceased, whose India services extended over a period of thirty-eight years, all but five of which were spent in that country, was the son of Mr. Robert Anderson, a merchant of London, were he was born in

1791. Having passed through Haileybury
College, he entered the civil service of the
Honourable East India Company in the
Bombay residency in 1806, and in 1809
became assistant to the Accountant-General;
he served afterwards for several years as
registrar to the court of Adawlut. His subse-
quent appointments, according to the "East
India Calendar," were as follows:-"Assistant-
Judge at Surat, 1815; criminal Judge there,
1821; Judge at Poonah and Sholupoor, 1825;
Judge of the Sudder Dewany, and Com-
missioner of Justice in the Deccan, 1827, (in
which capacity he repeatedly received the
thanks of the local and home governments);
he was appointed Collector and Polit cal
Agent in the South Mahratta country, 1831;
and became Senior Judge of the Sudder
Dewance, 1833; and India Law Commissioner
at Calcutta in 1835." This legal position,
however, was not well suited to his practical
and administrative capacity, and in 1838 he
was appointed a member of council and chief
Judge of the Sudder Adawlut; he took his
seat March 8, 1838. He succeeded to the
Governorship of Bombay upon a vacancy
which occured in 1841, and held that post
ad int rim until June, 1842; his tenure of
office being purposely prolonged, "under par-
ticular circumstances," in order to give the
Presidency a longer enjoyment of his practical
business habits and administrative talents. He
was succeeded in this post by the late Right
Hon. Sir George Arthur, Bart., who in a de-
spatch addressed to the Court of East India
Directors, drew especial and formal notice to
his "able, upright, and highly distinguished
services.' "These services were not unnoticed
by her Majesty's Government, who have of
late years shewn a laudable disposition to
avail themselves of tried and approved ser-
vants of the East India Company, to fill the
highest civil appointments at their disposal.
Accordingly, in February, 1849, he was ap-
pointed by the then administration to the
Governorship of the Mauritius, which he held
till the autumn of the following year, when
he was transferred to the more important
post of Governor of Ceylon. He resigned his
command and retired from public life in the
spring of 1855, when he finally returned to
England.

Sir George William Anderson received the honour of Knigh hood for his services in 1849, and was made a K.C.B. (civil) in 1850. He was twice married: first, in 1813, to a daughter of J. P. Kensington Esq.; and secondly, in 1833, to a daughter of William Wight, Esq. He has left behind him a large family to mourn their loss; one of his sons, Mr. Henry Lacon Anderson, at present Secretary to the Government of Bombay, is a gentleman of more than ordinary ability and promise.

THE DOWAGER LADY TALBOT DE MALAHIDE.
March 13. At her residence, Evercreech
House, near Shepton Mallet, aged 68, the
Right Hon. Anne Sarah, Dowager Lady Tal-
'bot de Malahide.

Her ladyship was the daughter and cohei ess of the late Samuel Rodbard, Esq., of Evercreech, and was married in 1804 to James, third Lord Talbot de Malahide, of Evercreech-house, and of Malahide Castle, County Dublin, who succeeded to the Irish peerage on the death of his elder brother, Richard Wogan, second lord, in 1849, and died in the year following. By him her ladyship had eight son, and five daughters: her eldest son is the present Lord Talbot de Malahide, who succeeds to the Evercreech property, and has recently been elevated to the peerage of the United Kingdom, and taken his seat accordingly in the House of Lords. Her youngest son, William Leopold, is a captain in the army, and one of the aidesde-camp to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland; her fifth son is the Very Rev. Mgr. George Talbot, whose name is so well known as one of the Pope's chamberlains. Another son, who was formerly in the army, is Rector of Evercreech, county Somerset. One of her ladyship's daughters married, in 1853, the eldest son of the late Right Hon. Henry Hobhouse, of Hadspen-house, Somerset, and died in 1855; and another daughter is married to her cousin, Major-General Sir Richard Airey, K.C.B.

MR. JAMES TAYLOR.

Jan. 27. At Fletching, Sussex, aged 78, Mr. James Taylor, a well-known and much respe ted bokseller.

as

Mr. Taylor was born at Ware, in Hertfordshire, on the 17th of May, 1778, and began his career an antiquarian bookseller His house in when a very young man. Blackfriars-road was visited by most of the bookworms of that period-for at the beginning of the present century, bibliomania was the rage, and Caxton, Wynken-de-Worde, Burton's pieces, and privately printed books, with woodcuts, and black letter, were as familiar as household words. Mr. Taylor was contemporary with Simcoe, Boone, Thorpe, Rodd, and many others who have long since passed away; as have also the names of Evans, King and Lochee, and Stewart, in whose rooms so many battles were fought for the possession of ancient tomes.

Mr. Taylor's catalogues were much prized: Boswell, son of the biographer of Dr. Johnson, would come half-shaved, catalogue in hand, having just taken it from the postman, fearing he should be too late to become the purchaser of some rare book he had seen in the catalogue.

Sir Lumley Skeffington,

"Kenown d of Hayes,
For skirtless coats

And skeletons of plays,"

was a constant visitor, saying it was "the only booth in the fair for the dear little quartos;" and the late Sir Walter Scott, in writing to his friend Terry, says, "James Taylor should be written in letters of gold, as the mirror of right worthy bibliopoles." During the reign of George IV., Mr. Taylor took a house in North-street, Brighton, near the Palace

where it became the daily resort of the learned who had come to inhale the sea-breezes, or were residents there.

For more than half a century Mr. Taylor carried on his, to him, delightful occupation, considering his library a dukedom large enough; but the death of his only son at an early age, who inhe ited his father's affection for old books, had a great effect on Mr. Taylor's mind, occasioning great mental sufferings, which were generally the precursors of long and painful illness. At length, induced by the wishes of his family, he retired into the quietude of the country: one of his married daughters residing near Newick, he took up his residence there, and for the last eight years he has amused himself in corresponding with many of his former friends, and in sending various contributions to the press; but the principal work in which he has spent his time has been in the publishing of the "Sussex Garland," a work, says John Britton, "that deserves to be in the hands of every gentleman." Mr. Taylor survived his old friend and brother antiquarian less than a month.

A few months before his death, Mr. Taylor began to feel the infirmities of age creeping on him, and the walks from Newick to Fletching, where his daugter resided, fatiguing. He removed about a month before Christmas to the residence of his son-in-law, and the Sunday after Christmas-day he attended divine service at the parish church of Fletching, and appeared in comparatively good health; but a few days afterwards he was seized with paralysis, which affected his speech and right side. Although some favourable symptoms presented themselves, the shock was so severe that he ultimately sank under it, at the advanced age of 79, leaving an aged widow and three married daughters.

He was a man of very amiable and retiring manners, with a ready wit for satire, which his kind and gentle nature rarely or ever permitted him to indulge in. His friendships were few, but to those few he was tenderly attached.

John Scott, of Hull, and grandson of Thomas Scott, the commentator on the Scriptures. From particulars given in a local journal, we learn that he was

born in 1811, and in 1825 was afflicted with a malady which involved the loss of a limb. He suffered much in atter life. Having been educated at the Hull and Beverley Grammar-School, he passed through bis university course as a member of Clare Hall, Cambridge, and was ordained to the curacy of St. Mary, Hull. For twenty-two years he occupie i different spheres of ministerial labour. His first curacy was at Hull; he then removed to York, where he was Curate under the Rev. John Gra am, at St. Saviour's Church. He quitted that sphere of labour for the church of St. Peter's, Lincoln, and from thence he undertook the incumbency of St John's, Derby. His ministerial visits, acceptible among all classes, peculiarly endeared him to the young, the poor, and the afflicted. Holy and consistent in his life, he "constantly spoke the truth, boldly rebuked vie, and patiently suffered for the truth's sake." He was characterised by inflexible sincerity and integrity, uncompromising rectitude, sound judgment, and energy which no difficulties could daunt. Among other labours, he was eminently devoted to the cause of the great evangelical societies for the diffusion of the Gospel at home and abroad.

At Fareham, Hants, aged 59, the Rev. William Thresher, B.A 1820, M.A. 1823, St. John's Coll., Cambridge.

Feb. 14. At Upper Grosvenor-st., aged 64, the Rev. Arthur Atherley, Vicar of Heavitree, Exeter, and prebendary of Chichester. He was the eldest son of the late Arthur Atherley, esq., many years M.P. for Southampton, near which place, and in the Isle of Wight, he had considerable property, to which, at his death, his son succeeded. mother was Lady Louisa Kerr, daughter of the fifth Marquess of Lothian. He was educated at Winchester, and graduated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and became Vicar of Heavitree in 1820; having then recently married Emily, daughter of Richard Dawkins, esq., whom he now leaves with six surviving children. He was for many years a magistrate for Devon, and Vice-President of the Board of Guardians of St. Thomas's Union, Exeter. In these offices, as in every relation of life, he was distinguished by his active, able, and conscientious discharge of duty. We scarcely know any one who, with so large a circle of friends and acquaintances, was so deservedly and universally esteemed and beloved. Amiable and unselfish in an unusual degree, he spared no exertion where he could render any service to rich or poor, but more especially the latter; with whose wants he so carefully made himself acquainted, that many of his friends, not constantly resident in Exeter, were too glad to entrust to him the distribution of their charities, from their perfect confidence in his judgment and kindness, and thorough knowledge of the wants of the poor. Three or four years since, from failing health, he resigned his seat at the Board of Guardians, to the great regret of all who had acted with him; but he continued efficiently to discharge the duties of a magistrate till his last illness. At the gaol, the lunatic asylum, the county hospital, and other c aritable institutions in Exeter, his absence will long be felt and lamented, and in Heavitree the sense of his loss will be great indeed among all classes; so exemplary was he in all his ministerial duties, in the church and in the parish, and so liberal and indefatigable in his attention to the poor, the sick, and all who needed his assistance or advice. Feb. 16. At Arkesden, aged 86, the Rev. John George Griffinhoofe, B.D., Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, and Vicar of Catherington, Hants.

Henry Pakenham, Dean of St. Patrick's, and he was first cousin to the present Duke of Wellington. The Hon. Charles Reginald Pakenham was born the 21st of September, 1821. He accompanied her Majesty to Ireland on the occasion of her first visit to that country, as one of her aides-de-camp, being then an officer in the Guards. He resigned the profession of arms on the occasion of his conversion to the Catholic faith a few years since, and joined the order of the "Barefooted Clerks of the Most Sacred Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ." On the opening of the "Retreat of Blessed Paul of the Cross,' founder of the order of "Passionists" in Harold'scross, last year, he was appointed Rector of the house.
