He became

B.A. 1820; M.A. 1829; Deacon 1822, Priest 1823. He became Vicar of Gainsborough in 1843, and was appointed Chancellor of Lincoln Cathedral in 1859, in succession to the Rev. G. T. Pretyman.

DEATHS.

ARRANGED IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.

Aug. 4. At Eveleigh-house, Redfern, New South Wales (the residence of his son, H. T. Shadforth, esq.), aged 90, Lieut.-Col. Thomas Shadforth, formerly commanding H.M.'s 57th Regt. He served with much distinction in the Peninsular War, and was the father of Col. Shadforth, who fell at the attack on the Redan, June 18, 1855.

Aug. 6. At North Adelaide, aged 50, Mr. James Chambers, a gentleman well known in Lincolnshire. Few men have had a more remarkable career. He was left an orphan at an early age. The struggles of his youth and the energy of his character were long known and prized in his native country before he became an emigrant. He left these shores in the "Coromandel," in the year 1837; and in the strife among the emigrants to land first on the mainland of South Australia he succeeded in first touching the soil amidst the swimmers who put off. In the first settlement of a country much has to be done; and it is seldom that men of sufficient energy and bodily power are found to stand and overcome the first difficulties. Chambers was just the man for the occasion. Nothing daunted him-nothing prevented his progress. His first aim was to rig out a carriage for carting goods from Glanelly (the place of landing) to the future city Adelaide. He sought a suitable tree, cut it down, cut two transverse sections from it, gouged holes in their middle, through which he drove axles, and so on to rigging it with shafts and sides. With this clumsy carriage, and two oxen imported from the Cape on passing, he could earn 201. daily. Thus commenced his prosperous career. He subsequently imported horses from Hobart Town and Sydney, the latter, overland, occupying many weeks in transit. His next effort (and it was a continuous one) was to secure as many of the new town sections as possible, and every advantageous stock station or run; and so on and on, till he had secured and stocked, in the year 1856, when he visited this country, as "large a farm as would cover the counties of York and Lincoln, and much more." His breeding establishments were very large, "dropping several hundreds of foals annually;" and his herds of cattle and flocks of sheep were immense. To all this business he combined that of a livery-stable keeper, having the largest establishment of horses in the colony. He was the mail contractor for nearly the whole inland service. He was also a large importer and exporter. He was selected-and, in fact, was the only person properly qualified-to organize and conduct the expedition to fetch in the first riches from the gold-fields. He also established companies for working several copper and lead mines on his estates, and also organized, with Mr. Fincke, exploring expeditions to the north and west.-Mark-lane Express.

Aug. 19. At Peshawur, Maj. J. F. Richardson, C.B., commanding 6th Bengal Light Cavalry. Aug. 24. At York, William Hargrove, esq. See OBITUARY.

Sept. 8. Of cholera, on board the "Alnwick Castle," between Madras and Calcutta, aged 22, Rose Beaver, wife of Capt. J. Tennent Tovey, Bengal Staff Corps.

Sept. 9. At Neemuch, Surgeon - Maj. John Deas, of the 2nd Light Cavalry. He was a native of Falkland, Fifeshire, and the youngest surviving brother of Lord Deas. He received his education at the High School of Edinburgh, went to India at an early age, and had served at Aden, in Scinde and Affghanistan, in Persia, as well as throughout the Indian mutiny.

Sept. 12. Paul Ourry Treby, esq. (see p. 509), is the subject of a warm panegyric in a local paper, from which we extract a few paragraphs:-"Mr. Treby was deeply endeared to a large circle of relatives and friends, from the frank kindheartedness of his disposition, and was valued for an integrity of character which through life was without stain or blemish. His passion for field sports was in unison with an unadorned simplicity, that, if not seeking extraneous ornament from without, was free from guile and full of honour within. He was educated at Eton, where he was distinguished for a proficiency in the classics, and for a graceful composition, that is so well taught and perfected at that most celebrated of public schools. Even to a later day Mr. Treby was partial to weave a ready verse, and his memory, always retentive, treasured the Latin echoes with a rare fidelity. These sundry lucubrations were marked by a playful fancy, and were, for the most part, lively and jocose; whilst a few of a more serious temper bore testimony to deeply religious thought, evidencing a mind well tutored on those graver subjects which are more frequently contemplated by the lover of wild sports and wild nature than an ill-conditioned and coarse world, nominally refined, yet being in reality the profanum vulgus in an intellectual sense, is apt to credit or to allow. In strictly hunting capacity, Mr. Treby may be said to have belonged to the old school-meaning hereby, in a legitimate sense, the best. That is to say, he was strongly opposed to what is termed holiday hunting' only, and disapproved of hounds that could merely chase their fox up wind, and without a chance, as without power, to account for him with an indifferent scent, and under a combination of difficulties. He was likewise a fearless and bruising rider, literally rough and ready,' and being thoroughly acquainted with every path on the forest of Dartmoor, in his best day he was a hard man to beat. Those who may remember Spectre,' the 'Gainsborough mare,' and, at a later time, the Gray,' can bear witness to the prominent place which this veteran

and gallant foxhunter was wont to hold in a clipper over the moor, with the Whimsey' litter by Epicure' leading. His voice, loud, cheery, and true,-of which he was slightly lavish, was ever heard with satisfaction and confidence when he happened to view a fox away; and his open countenance was ever savagely joyous, as, catching hold of the head of old 'Spectre' proper with his gloveless hand, he made ready, and was prepared for a burst. He was for many years a contributor to the old 'Sporting Magazine,' under the name of the Foxhunter Rough and Ready;' and his communications were always written with a free and dashing spirit, which a quaint and original form of expression tended to enhance, and which gave them an additional relish. His criticisms on sinners in the deed-vulpecidesrevelled unfettered in their denunciatory severity, and were the more telling from the crude truth of the facts which he brought to bear against them. A fear of exposure in the pages of the magazine, by The Foxhunter Rough and Ready,' has saved many a litter of foxes on the confines of the moor. Of late years he was rarely seen at the covert side. The infirmities of nature gradually increasing, debarred him altogether from joining in his favourite pastime, and the old scenes knew him no more, but to the very last he was heart and soul in the cause he loved so well."

Sept. 13. At Barbados, aged 45, Capt. Fleetwood Wilson, H.M.'s Auditor-Gen. of Barbados, formerly of the 8th Hussars.

Sept. 18. Major-Gen. Alves (see p. 510) was born at Elgin in 1787, his father being a farmer, and his mother the sister of a well-known Presbyterian minister, the Rev. John Russell, of Kilmarnock. He was intended for the law, but afterwards became a clerk on the estate of Sir James Grant, who discovering in him a fondness for a military life, procured him a commission in a Scottish militia regiment, from which he soon exchanged into the 74th Regt., in which he served throughout the Peninsular war, and afterwards in almost every quarter of the world. In the year 1841, having obtained his majority, he was appointed second in command of the depôt battalion at Newport, in the Isle of Wight, where he remained for several years. In 1851 he was raised to the rank of Lieut.-Col., and appointed to the chief command of the depôt battalion at Preston, in the north of England, where he was actively engaged during the Russian war in training troops for that service. At the close of the Crimean war he acquired the rank of MajorGen., retired on full pay, and was also appointed Serjeant-at-arms to the Queen, which required his attendance on her Majesty at the opening and closing of Parliament, and occasioned him to settle in London, where he died. He had received the War Medal, with eleven clasps.

Sept. 19. In Madras, Ann Jane, wife of James Shaw, esq., F.R.C.S., Deputy-Inspector-Gen. of Hospitals, H.M.'s Madras Army.

Sept. 22. Dr. J. Hamel (see p. 510) was born in 1788, at Sarepta, on the Volga, in Russia. In 1807 he distinguished himself by the invention of an electrical machine, and in 1813, after having finished his studies, he was named by the Emperor Alexander member of the Academy of Medicine. He soon after visited England for the first time, and travelled all over the country, making himself well acquainted with it. He was appointed to accompany the Grand Duke (afterwards the Emperor) Nicholas, during his visit to England in 1815, and in 1818 he discharged the same duties towards the younger brother, the Grand Duke Michael. In 1820 Dr. Hamel made a well-known ascent of Mont Blanc, when he lost several of his guides. In 1821 he returned to Russia, and was attached to the suite of the GovernorGeneral of Moscow. He was elected, in 1828, a member of the Imperial Academy. It was through his exertions that the Lancasterian system of education was introduced to Russia, and also that the first industrial exhibition took place at Moscow. He was afterwards employed in several other exhibitions in Russia, and, taking the liveliest interest in the progress of industry, he visited all the great exhibitions which have since taken place in France, England, and even the one at New York in 1854. Dr. Hamel published a history of the steam engine, and likewise a history of the electric telegraph, both of which are very complete and full of interest in a scientific point of view. During his residence in this country, he was employed by the Russian Government in furnishing them with information relative to the progress of science and arts in England.
