of the college, and the members of the choir, were all previously assembled in the cathedral. The service was the usual Morning Service with the substitution of the Psalms and Lesson from the Burial Service. The Chant, Purcell's; the Te Deum, and Benedictus, Tallis; and the Anthem "If we believe," composed by Mr. Goss for the funeral of the Duke of Wellington. The scene in the nave, when all stood round to witness the lowering of the body into the grave, was very striking, and the solemn strains of the Dead March from the Oratorio of Saul were in full accordance with the feelings of those who slowly retired at the close of the service to reflect on "the sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ."

The last of Dr. Gaisford's predecessors, who died at the Deanery, and was interred in the Cathedral, was Dr. David Gregory, who was Dean from 1755 to 1767. Archbishop Markham lies buried in the cloisters of Westminster Abbey, Bishop Bagot in the churchyard of St. Asaph, Dr. Cyril Jackson in the churchyard of Felpham in Sussex, Dr. C. H. Hall at Durham, and Dr. S. Smith at

that 88 years have passed since a Dean of Christ Church was interred in his own cathedral.

At a meeting held in Christ Church, on the 12th of June, it was resolved to found a Greek prize, to be called "the Gaisford Prize," in memory of the late Dean of Christ Church, Regius Professor of Greek ; and for this purpose to raise by subscription a sum of not less than 1,000l., the interest of which shall be annually employed, to reward a successful prizeman or prizemen, under such regulations as shall be approved by Convocation.

There is a portrait of Dr. Gaisford, an excellent and very characteristic likeness, engraved by Atkinson, after an original picture by Pickersgill.

RICHARD BLAKEMORE, ESQ. April 17. At The Leys, co. Monmouth, in his 80th year, Richard Blakemore, esq. a magistrate for the counties of Monmouth, Hereford, Glamorgan, and Somerset, and a Deputy-Lieutenant of the three former; formerly M.P. for Wells.

Mr. Blakemore was born at Darlaston in Staffordshire, on the 8th August, 1775, the elder son of Mr. Thomas Blakemore, of Littleton-hall in West Bromwich, and of Darlaston, co. Stafford, by Anne, dau. of Mr. John Partridge, of Ross, co. Hereford, an eminent ironmaster. His mater

nal uncle, Mr. John Partridge, was one of the principal ironmasters in the same part of the kingdom, and died in 1810, also in his 80th year. To his kindness the late Mr. Blakemore was materially indebted. His uncles Richard and William Partridge were also ironmasters, and the latter the founder of the family now resident at Bishop's Wood, co. Gloucester.

Mr. Blakemore served the office of sheriff of Glamorganshire in 1826, and as sheriff of Herefordshire in 1830.

He was three times an unsuccessful candidate for the city of Hereford, on Conservative principles; first, at the general election of 1826, when he opposed Mr. E. B. Clive, and approached him within fifteen votes-438 to 453. Next after the reconstitution of parliament in 1832, when he polled 254 votes, Mr. Clive and Mr. Biddulph, who were returned, having respectively 392 and 380. Again at the election of 1835 he had 426, the former members having 457 and 435. At the election of 1837 Mr. Burr, the conservative candidate, succeeded in throwing out Mr. Biddulph; but Mr. Blakemore was at the same time returned for Wells, without a contest; as he was again in 1841 and 1847. At the dissolution in 1852 he retired from parliament.

Mr. Blakemore was unmarried,

JOHN HEATON, ESQ.

May 14. Within two days of his 68th birthday, John Heaton, esq. of Plâs Heaton, co. Denbigh.

This gentleman was the only son of Richard Heaton, Esq. of Plâs Heaton, by Sarah Venables of Oswestry. He served the office of High Sheriff of Denbighshire in 1837; and had for twenty years been chairman of the quarter sessions for that county; and in 1854 he received from the magistrates and inhabitants a handsome testimonial, as an acknowledgement of his public services.

Mr. Heaton was twice married: first in 1814, to Elizabeth, daughter of John Jones, esq., of Cefn Coch, co. Denbigh, and sister to Wilson Jones, esq. late M.P. for Denbighshire; and secondly, in 1824, to the Hon. Anne Eliza Henniker, eldest daughter of John-Minet third Lord Henniker: which latter lady

survives him. By his first marriage

he had issue three sons and one daughter; and by the second, four sons and six daughters. His son and heir is John Richard Heaton, esq., born in 1816, late a Captain in the 7th Dragoon Guards. The second son is the Rev. Charles Wilson Heaton.

WILLIAM SEYMOUR, ESQ. March 11. At Brighton, aged 85, William Seymour, esq.

Mr. Seymour was for many years one of the most efficient of the magistrates of Brighton. He was placed in the commission of the peace in 1829, and in 1834 was appointed Assistant Chairman of Quarter Sessions. He presided as Chairman of the Brighton bench until 1840, when he retired from active life, receiving the thanks of his fellow-magistrates at the Lewes quarter sessions. 1850 his many acts of usefulness and benevolence were publicly acknowledged by his bust being placed in the Pavilion at Brighton.

In

Mr. Seymour was twice married. By his first wife he had three sons, of whom the eldest was Sir William Seymour, one of the judges of the supreme court of judicature at Bombay, who died in 1829, having married Sarah-Lydia, eldest daughter of Lieut.-General Sir Henry Oakes, Bart. Another of his sons died unmarried; and the only survivor is Edward James Seymour, M.D., F.R.S., an eminent physician in London.

WALTER BARTON MAY, Esq. May 31. At Hadlow Castle, Kent, Walter Barton May, esq.

Mr. May was the representative of two very old Kentish families the Bartons of Hadlow and the Mays of Tong. His father, Walter Barton, esq. assumed the additional name of May on succeeding to the estates of his maternal ancestors.

After succeeding his father, in 1825, in the property of Hadlow, near Tunbridge, then called Court Lodge, Mr. May erected there a beautiful castellated mansion, with a tower of extraordinary elevation, which forms a striking feature of that part of Kent, and is seen from the distance of many miles. To this structure he gave the name of Court Lodge Castle, but it became more generally known as Hadlow Castle. Its exterior presents a magnificent display of gothic taste and skill. Mr.

May made the study and reproduction of the architecture of the middle ages the principal occupation of his life, and was no less remarkable for his quaint and agreeable manners and his great benevolence and hospitality.

He married, in 1822, Mary, only daughter and heir of John Porter, esq. of Fishhall, Kent; and by that lady, who survives him, he has left issue a son and a daughter. His sister is the wife of Sir William Twysden, Bart. of Roydon-hall.

WM. DEVONSHIRE SAULL, Esq. F.S.A. April 26. In Aldersgate-street, in his 72nd year, William Devonshire Saull, esq. a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and of the Geological and Astronomical Societies, and a member of the Societé Geologique of France.

Mr. Saull was a man of excellent heart, and a great enthusiast in his pursuits, but his knowledge was rather superficial, and his views, in regard to politics and religion as well as science, were anything but orthodox. He communicated some observations to the Society of Antiquaries in 1841, (the year of his election as Fellow,) on some British, Celtic, and Roman remains in the vicinity of Dunstable, and in the following year, on the meaning of Runic inscriptions; but no paper by him appears in the Archæologia of the Society. A paper communicated by him to the Geological Society in 1848, entitled "An Essay on the Connexion between Astronomical and Geological Phenomena," was not printed by the Society, but afterwards published by himself, and is noticed in our review, Feb. 1854, p. 168. He also previously published in 1844 "Notitia Britanniæ; or an Inquiry concerning the Localities, Habits, Condition, and progressive Civilization of the Aborigines of Great Britain," reviewed in our Magazine for April, 1855, p. 397.

The name of Mr. Saull will be chiefly remembered in connexion with a valuable private museum, formed of geological specimens chiefly collected by himself, and other miscellaneous curiosities, which he opened every Thursday to the public. Nothing would more delight this kind but crotchety philosopher than the pleasure of instructing and exhibiting his treasures to the lower classes, and for a long time he was honourably known among geologists as the working man's friend.-From The Literary Gazette, with corrections.

Mr. Saull's museum is thus described in Mr. Timbs's "Curiosities of London:" -"The antiquities, principally excavated in the metropolis, consist of early British vases, Roman lamps and urns, amphora, and dishes, tiles, bricks, and pavements, and fragments of Samian ware; also, a few Egyptian antiquities; and a cabinet of Greek, Roman, and early British coins. The geological department contains the collection of the late Mr. Sowerby, with additions by Mr. Saull; together exceeding 20,000 specimens, arranged according to the probable order of the earth's structure. Every article bears a descriptive label; and the localisation of the antiquities, some of which were dug up almost on the spot, renders these relics so many medals of our metropolitan civilisation."

We are not aware of Mr. Saull's disposition of his museum; but it was understood to be his intention to bequeath it to some public institution, by which means it will be still more accessible than it was in his life-time.

GOLDING BIRD, M.D., F.R.S.

Oct. 27. At Tunbridge Wells, aged 39, Golding Bird, M.D. Fellow of the Royal, Linnean, and Geological Societies, Fellow and one of the Curators of the Royal College of Physicians, Fellow of the Medico-Chirurgical Society, Corresponding Member of the Medical Society of Hamburgh, of the Philosophical Institution of Bâle, of the Philosophical Society of St. Andrew's, the African Society of France, and others.

For many years Dr. Bird had a large practice. He was an exceedingly active and energetic man. His name is well

known as the author of several works,amongst which we may mention the Elements of Natural Philosophy 1841, 2d edit. 1843, 3d edit. 1847; Lectures on Electricity and Galvanism in their Physiological relations, 1849; Lectures on the Influence of Organic Chemistry on Therapeutics, delivered at the Royal College of Physicians, published in the Medical Gazette 1849; Researches in Poisoning by Charcoal Vapours, 1839; Reports on Diseases of Children, in the Guy's Hospital Reports 1845; and a variety of papers in the medical journals, and in journals and transactions of scientific societies. From an early period of his career his friends feared that he was too ambitious of success. There can be little doubt that his excessive application laid the foundation of the disease which terminated his life.

Dr. Bird graduated at St. Andrew's, first as Master of Arts, and afterwards as Doctor of Medicine in 1838. He became a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of London in 1840, and a Fellow in 1845. He was early connected with the Medical School of Guy's Hospital as a lecturer on Materia Medica, was sometime lecturer on the practice of physic at the Aldersgate-street Medical School, and from 1847 to 1849 lecturer on Materia Medica at the College of Physicians. From 1838 to 1843 he was Physician to the Finsbury Dispensary, and afterwards Assistant Physician to Guy's Hospital. He had also served as President of the London Medical Society.

MR. HENRY FOURDRINIER. Sept. 3, 1854. Aged 88, Henry Fourdrinier, esq.

This gentleman was descended from an

It

ancient family in one of the northern provinces of France, whence, by religious persecution, they were driven into Holland. He was born in Lombard-street, on 11th Feb. 1766, and succeeded his father as a paper-maker and wholesale stationer. In conjunction with his brother, he patented the invention of the paper-making machine, in perfecting which he expended a considerable fortune. may suffice here to state that the papermaking machine is constructed so as to imitate, and in some respects to improve, the processes used in making paper by hand; but its chief advantages are, that paper can be made of any size which can practically be required, and with a degree of rapidity which leaves the old method at an immeasurable distance. This invention was perfected at the patentee's paper mill at Two Waters, in Hertfordshire, situated at the union of the river Gade with Bulborne Brook, about the beginning of the present century. Between the years 1800 and 1807, Messrs. Fourdrinier expended 60,000l. on account of the machine; and from losses consequent on its completion, defending the patent, &c., they became bankrupts in 1810.

In 1814, on the Emperor of Russia's visit to England, he commissioned a person to purchase the right of using Mr. Fourdrinier's machine at the Imperial paper works at Peterhoff. An agreement was consequently concluded for the use of two of his machines for ten years at 7007. a year; and Mr. Fourdrinier's son went to Russia to superintend them. The workmen were paid by the Imperial Treasury, but Mr. Fourdrinier never received any part of his stipulated reward.

Meanwhile Mr. Fourdrinier and his brother again petitioned Parliament upon their patent, fully proved by evidence to be their property. On 25th April, 1839, some interesting details of this ingenious invention were elicited during a debate in the House of Commons, when the evidence of Mr. Brunel and Mr. Lawson of the Times proved the paper-making machine one of the most splendid discoveries of modern times. The increase to the revenue was stated to be 500,000l. a year; and the saving to the country effected by it 8,000,000l. The patentees' claim was at length recognised; and, in May, 1840, 7,000l. was voted by Parliament to Messrs. Fourdrinier, as some compensation for their loss by the defective state of the law of patents.

In November last some influential members of the paper trade commenced a subscription to purchase annuities for Mr. Henry Fourdrinier and his two surviving daughters, both unmarried. Ere much

progress was made Mr. Fourdrinier died, in his 89th year, at Mavesyn Rydware, in Staffordshire, where he had retired, in possession of his cheerful and benevolent spirit, and as contented in his humble cottage as he was formerly in his spacious house. His personal appearance is thus described by his daughter Harriet E. Fourdrinier, in a little work called "Our New Parish; its Privileges and Progress, 1851," dedicated to her beloved father as a tribute of grateful veneration on the completion of his 86th year :-" His form is spare; his hair is white; he has passed that age of four score years' which the Psalmist so touchingly describes; but, at present, we rejoice to say, his strength is not labour and sorrow.' His walk is active; his eyes are bright; his health is good; his spirits buoyant, and his gait firm. He is the delight of his children and his children's children,' the latter of whom, to the number of some twentyfour, make him their friend and companion. He will talk with the elder, or romp with the young ones; drive his daughters out in the carriage, or take long walks with the sons; run races with the boys, and dance with the girls; shews hospitality to his friends; does his duty as a master; is a loyal and devoted subject, and makes a capital churchwarden! Many worldly troubles still oppress him, but he bears the yoke as knowing by Whom it is laid on."

We hear the subscription is still in progress for the benefit of Mr. Henry Fourdrinier's daughters, to which we wish

success.

Mr. Fourdrinier was the senior member of the Company of Stationers, having been elected a Liveryman 1787. His portrait is given in the Illustrated London News for Oct. 7, 1854, p. 345.

His younger brother, Mr. Charles Fourdrinier, was Master of the Company of Stationers in 1834, and died Feb. 7, 1841, aged 73.

MR. JOSEPH Rhodes.

April 7. At Leeds, Mr. Joseph Rhodes, who, for more than half a century, has held a prominent place among the artists and art-teachers of Yorkshire.

Mr. Rhodes was a native of Leeds, and was apprenticed to a house-painter in that town; at the expiration of his term of servitude, he came to London, and was employed in the establishment of a japanner, in decorating articles of furniture. He was subsequently engaged by M. San Jusse to assist in the chromatic ornamentation of architecture in the mansions of the wealthy. In his leisure hours from these engagements, he occupied himself in

acquiring a more intimate knowledge of drawing and painting, for which purpose he entered the schools of the Royal Academy, when West and Fuseli were superintending the studies there. He also designed and made drawings for the best wood-engravers of that time, and was offered an engagement by the managers of Drury Lane Theatre, then perhaps in its most flourishing condition, as scenepainter and decorator; but his contract with M. San Jusse compelled him to decline its acceptance. Having married

while in London, the delicate state of his wife's health induced him to quit the metropolis, and return to Leeds, where he established a school for drawing, which existed for forty years; among his scholars were F. Robinson, Topham, Atkinson, Cromek, &c. &c. "So numerous," says the Huddersfield Chronicle, "were the pupils instructed by Mr. Rhodes, and so long continued his services in this branch, that he has been emphatically designated the Father of Art in Yorkshire." His artistic talents were very varied; figures, landscapes, fruit, and flowers were produced by his pencil with success.
