REV. EDWARD MURRAY.

July 1. In his 54th year, the Rev. Edward Murray, Vicar of Northolt, Middlesex, a Prebendary of St. Paul's, a Rural Dean, and Chaplain to (his brother) the Lord Bishop of Rochester.

He was born in the Lower Ward of Windsor Castle on the 5th Nov. 1798, and was the fourth son of Lord George Murray, Lord Bishop of St. David's, (second son of George third Duke of Atholl,) by Anne-Charlotte, daughter of Lieut.-Gen. Francis Grant, M.P. brother to Sir Ludovick Grant of Grant, Bart.

He was a member of Trinity college, Cambridge, and took his B.A. degree in 1820. In 1823 he was presented by the Earl of Ilchester to the vicarage of Stinsford in Dorsetshire; and in 1831 by the same patron to the rectory of Winterbourn Monkton in the same county. These he held to 1837, when he was collated by the Bishop of London to the vicarage of Northolt in Middlesex.

Mr. Murray was a good Hebrew scholar, and deeply versed in theology. He was the author of "Enoch Restitutus;" of a work on the Apocalypse; and of a compilation of Calvin's Prayers. He had inherited a scientific taste from his father, whose services were employed by government in the management of the telegraph system and one of his favourite amuse

Mr. Murray married on the 14th Feb. 1822 Ruperta-Catherine, only child and heir of the late Sir George Wright, Bart. (and representative of the natural daughter of Prince Rupert, Duke of Cumberland, the nephew of King Charles I. and uncle of King George I.); and by that lady, who survives him, he had issue two sons and two daughters: 1. AugustusGeorge-Ernest, Lieut. R.N.; 2. LouisaRuperta, married in 1848 to Edward Colston, esq. of Filkins Hall, Oxon, and Roundway Park, Wilts, the representative of the great Bristol benefactor; 3.

"The Rev. Theyre T. Smith was a profound thinker, an humble, amiable, and single-minded man, and particularly well versed, as his University sermons show, in the Unitarian controversy. Originally a Dissenter, he was sent to Glasgow; but reading Hooker, he became satisfied that episcopacy was the more scriptural form of Church government, and left Glasgow for the University of Cambridge. He regretted that he had not gone to Oxford, being an extremely good logician, but having no taste for mathematics. He was ordained by the Bishop of Lincoln, and after serving a curacy in Huntingdonshire, and another in Essex, he was appointed by Mr. Benson, assistant preacher at the Temple. There he remained till Mr. Benson resigned the Mastership in 1845, when Lord Lyndhurst appointed him to a small living, Newhaven, from which the present Bishop of Ely removed him to Wymondham, in Norfolk. He filled the office of Hulsean lecturer in 1839 and 1840, and was frequently appointed one of the select preachers at Cambridge.

"His works have had a very limited sale; for his style and manner of thinking

were far from popular. He wanted the power of familiarly illustrating a subject with the pen. He could speak extempore with a force and facility to which few men could attain. At Newhaven he sometimes preached without a manuscript, with pathos so irresistible, that the congregation (far from a refined one) were dissolved in tears. No one ever lived who was more beloved by his friends; and he is universally and deeply lamented by his parishioners at Wymondham. He is still held in grateful remembrance by many of the Templars, to some of whom-especially the sceptical-he was most useful. In one thing he followed the steps of his master, and, while showing no quarter to error, he was most tenderly considerate towards the erring. Mr. Smith was strongly opposed to the peculiar views of Calvin. He was a great metaphysician, and used to think out all his subjects."

THOMAS GRAINGER, ESQ. C.E. July 25. At Stockton-on-Tees, where he had been removed, after suffering severe injuries in a collision on the Leeds and Northern Railway, aged 57, Thomas Grainger, esq. of Craig Park, C.E. He had sustained a compound fracture of one of his legs, besides other severe injuries, and after enduring much suffering with exemplary patience he expired on the fourth day after the accident occurred.

He was born in the parish of Ratho, a few miles to the west of Edinburgh, where his father was a small farmer. He was a pupil of the late Professor Playfair and Dr. Coventry; and commenced his career in Edinburgh as a land-surveyor, having succeeded to the business of the late Mr. John Leslie. The commencement of railways in Scotland opened up a new career for his active and enterprising mind; and to enumerate those with which he was connected in some capacity or another, would be to name most of the lines now constructed in Scotland. He was also engaged upon a number of English lines; and was engineer-in-chief of the Leeds and Northern, on a branch or extension of which he met with the accident which resulted in his death. His greatest work in Scotland was the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway; and the largest undertaking with which he was connected in England was the Leeds and Northern line. He was a man of sterling probity and honour; and throughout the stirring period of the railway mania, no one's services was in greater requisition as consulting engineer, arbiter, and parliamentary witness, than those of Mr. Grainger; and the consequence was that he soon realised a handsome fortune from

his professional exertions. In the local affairs of Edinburgh Mr. Grainger always took a warm interest. He was a member of the Improvement Commission, a parliamentary board under whose directions many thousands of pounds were expended on local improvements in the old town of Edinburgh, and rendered special service in connection with the winding-up of the affairs of that body. Mr. Grainger was President of the Royal Scotish Society of Arts for two successive sessions, and added some interesting and valuable papers to its contributions, one of the most important of which was the result of personal observations on the grand undertaking of draining the Great Haarlem Lake. He was also a member of the Royal Society, and of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, and took an active interest in the proceedings of both.

In November last Mr. Grainger was proposed for election to the office of Lord Provost of Edinburgh, and, greatly to the regret of all who knew his private worth to be even more remarkable than his professional eminence and disinterested public spirit, another gentleman was elected by a small majority, through the influence of a temporary local ecclesiastical question. Had Mr. Grainger lived there can be no question that he would have been elevated to the civic chair of the Scotish metropolis, when it became vacant.

In addition to the fine estate of Craig Park, near Ratho, Mr. Grainger was owner of extensive iron, mining, and smelting works in Fife. He had been married only a few years, and has left a young family. His death was recognised as a public loss in Edinburgh, where the lord provost and magistrates, with other public bodies, requested to be allowed to attend his remains to the grave. The Royal Society of Arts, of which he had been president, also presented an address to the family, expressive of their sense of his great worth and the loss they sustained in his death.

BARON VON LANGSDORFff.

At Frieburg, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, in his 78th year, the well-known botanist and traveller, Baron George Frederick von Langsdorff.

Baron Langsdorff was a native of Heidelberg, where his father was Chancellor of the University. He received the rudiments of his education at Buchsweiler, and completed his studies at Gottingen, where he took a medical degree, and then accompanied Prince Waldeck to Lisbon in the capacity of physician. The Prince dying, Dr. von Langsdorff returned, through England, to Germany. At the

age of 30 he accompanied Admiral Krusenstern, as botanist to the expedition, in his voyage round the world. While at Kamtschatka he suggested various improvements, in acknowledgment of which the Emperor Alexander conferred upon him the order of St. Anne, the rank of Aulic Councillor, and subsequently the appointment of Consul-general at Rio Janeiro, where he resided for some years.

His "Voyages and Travels to Brazil, the South Sea, Kamtschatka and Japan; with a Voyage to the Aleutian Islands and the North-West Coast of America; and his return by land over the North-East Coast of Asia, through Siberia to Petersburgh,' were published in England, (translated by Anne Plumptre,) in two quarto volumes, 1803 and 1807, and various editions have appeared in German and French.

M. TONY JOHANNOT.

Aug. 4. At Paris, aged 48, M. Tony Johannot, a well-known artist.

He was born at Offenbach, in Hesse Darmstadt, and was remarkable for his scientific information, particularly in botany. He was also an excellent musician. He became first known as a painter by a picture which was in the exhibition of 1831, representing a woman giving a soldier a drink. But it is above all by his steel engravings that he acquired a European reputation. His illustrations of the works of Lord Byron, Walter Scott, Molière, Don Quixote, &c. are universally known. He died in straitened circumstances. His funeral obsequies took place in the presence of MM. H. Monnier, E. Isabey, Diaz, Picot, Roqueplan, Perignon, Decaisne, Laridon, Derval, and other artists, friends of the deceased. The funeral cortège proceeded directly to the cemetery of Montmartre, where M. Coquerel, jun. the Protestant clergyman, officiated.

M. CAMILLE BEAUVAIS. Aged 71, M. Camille Beauvais. At 18 he was at the head of a silk-manufactory at Lyons, and at 20 he employed 2,000 workmen. The Emperor Napoleon presented him to Josephine as a rare example of precocious talent. It was M. Beauvais who first manufactured in France China crape, from a morsel secretly taken from a dress of the Empress; he was the inventor also of many other ingenious modes of weaving silk. M. Beauvais was President of the Tribunal of Prud'hommes at Lyons, at the age of 26. He obtained the cross of the Legion of Honour in 1817. He had retired from business as a manufacturer many years before his death, but

continued to feel great interest for the silk trade, and conceived it would be possible to promote the breed of silk-worms in France to such an extent as to enable her in course of time to dispense with importing the raw material. With this view he solicited and obtained from the government on very advantageous terms the lease of a certain portion of the forest of Sénart, where he formed the silk-breeding establishments, which have been frequently noticed at the meetings of the society founded for the encouragement of this branch of industry.

MR. WILLIAM LENNIE.

July 20. At 23, St. Andrew-square, Edinburgh, aged 73, Mr. William Lennie, teacher of English.

Mr. Lennie engaged in teaching at Edinburgh in 1802, and devoted a long life to the instruction of youth. His elementary books on education have been long and deservedly popular, and his " Principles of English Grammar" is a school-book very generally used.

Mr. Lennie has left the following bequests for educational and charitable purposes: To the Edinburgh Blind Asylum, 19. 19s. To a school at Craigend, in Perthshire, an endowment of 101. a year, under certain conditions. To the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council of Edinburgh the lands of Auchenresch, in Dumfriesshire, for the following purposes :1. For founding four bursaries in the University of Edinburgh, of 127. each, to be called "The Lennie Bursaries." The bursaries are given for the purpose of obtaining "literary education" only; and, with a view to encourage habits of independence and self-reliance, the bursars are enjoined to repay the amounts received by them as soon as they are able-the sums to be repaid to be distributed in the same way, and for a similar object; and for the purpose of inducing bursars to refund, those who do so are to have the nomination of their successors. 2. For paying one-half of the residue of the rents for the benefit of Trinity Hospital, but not to be limited to burgesses, or their widows, or descendants. And 3. The remaining half of the rents for the benefit of James Gillespie's Hospital. And after the lapse of certain annuities, he has appointed 2007. a-year to be also equally divided between Trinity Hospital and Gillespie's Hospital.

MR. J. DENNETT.

July 10. Aged 62, Mr. J. Dennett, Custos of Carisbrook Castle, Isle of Wight.

Mr. Dennett is well known as the inventor of the celebrated rockets called "Dennett's Rockets," which have been

sent to all parts of the globe, and have saved the lives of thousands in shipwreck. Strange to say the English government, notwithstanding the acknowledged superiority of those rockets, could never be induced to give them more than a very limited patronage. Mr. Dennett received several honorary distinctions from foreign potentates, and altogether the services he rendered to society were appreciated less in England than abroad. His attainments partook of a scientific as well as mechanical character. At the Winchester congress of the Archæological Association, Mr. Dennett's paper on his discoveries in Saxon graves in the Isle of Wight was an excellent contribution to the national archæology, and has often been referred to by historical writers. We trust that one of the family of the Dennetts will be allowed to fill the situation he occupied, which was conferred, it was understood, as some token of his merits and claims on the country.-London Weekly Paper.

Mr.

Mr. Smith was born in that city in 1781. About the year 1805 he commenced business, when he gave proof of his skill by planning and executing the town residence of the late Peter Milne, esq. of Crimonmogate, now the property of Sir Alexander Bannerman, Bart. Smith's ability soon recommended him to a rapidly increasing practice; and the civic authorities of the day appointed him City Architect and superintendent of public works, an office of which he regularly discharged the multifarious duties with ability and fidelity to the period of his decease. In this capacity Mr. Smith completed, in 1810, the first correct survey of Aberdeen, which was published in that year. Among the various public works in Aberdeen the following are due to Mr. Smith: the North, South, and St. Clement's churches; the façade in front of St. Nicholas' Churchyard; Dr. Hamilton's Monument; Gordon's Hospital; the Public Schools in Belmont Street; the Advocates' Hall; the new front of the Tolbooth, a specimen of baronial gothic; the new Gaol and Court House; the extension of the Bridge of Dee; the additions to King's College; the Record Office, &c.
