mons for Sundays, Festivals, and Fasts," published in 1845. A correspondent of The Guardian thus speaks of him :-"The unexpected decease of the Rev. T. K. Arnold deprives this country of one of its most indefatigable scholars, and the Church of England of one of its most faithful sons. In proof of the former statement, we may refer to his numerous publications, in nearly every language that is studied in our schools and universities, and it is not too much to say that they are very generally used. As to the latter, we need only refer to the very able theological pamphlets which he has from time to time put forth, whenever his critical eye discerned unsoundness in writings, that if not exposed was likely to do extensive mischief. His strictures on Mr. Close's Sermon against the Cambridge Camden Society, Mr. Isaac Taylor's Interpretation of the Fathers, Mr. Elliott's Hora Apocalypticæ, Mr. Goode's Reply to the Bishop of Exeter, are masterpieces in their way. The Theological Critic, a periodical which he originated [in 1851], and to which he was a principal contributor, showed the most extensive Patristic learning, and was well worthy of his name. His latest publication, which he himself called his dying words,' was a successful defence of himself from the charges of piracy and avarice and unsound scholarship, made in an anonymous article in Fraser, which was reprinted for private circulation. Nor was he the mere scholar or theologian. Remarkable for an almost feminine gentleness of manner, and for the unaffected simplicity of his life, he was at once a friend, a companion, and a counsellor (especially as an upholder of Church principles), whose memory will long be cherished in Rutland by all who were blessed with the friendship of the good Rector of Lyndon." Mr. Arnold died of bronchitis, after only a few days' illness. WILLIAM FREEMAN LLOYD, Esq. April 22. At King's Stanley, co. Gloucester, William Freeman Lloyd, esq. a gentleman whose life had been devoted to the service of various religious societies, and especially of those engaged in the promotion of Sunday and Infant Schools. Mr. Lloyd was born on the 22nd December, 1791, at Uley in Gloucestershire. He was descended from a family three generations of which resided at that place. Nathaniel Lloyd, esq. Mr. Lloyd's grandfather, had removed thither from Whitmister, in the same county, where the family may be found recorded in the Visitations of Gloucestershire. Up to 1825 Mr. Lloyd was engaged in the pursuits of commercial life in the metropolis, but from about his fifteenth year he had begun to take an interest in Sunday school instruction and in the operations of the Religious Tract Society. In 1810 he succeeded Mr. W. B. Gurney as Secretary of the Sunday School Union. In 1816 he was chosen on the Committee of the Religious Tract Society, and on his retirement from business he gave himself up entirely to the management of these two societies. He wrote many tracts and books, some of which were eminently successful. Of "Daily Food," a collection of texts compiled by him for every day in the year, 238,000 copies were issued up to the year 1850. But his children's books were the most peculiarly attractive and useful. Both in conversation and in writing he had a very peculiar faculty of reaching the hearts and understanding of children. None could withstand the fascination of his unconstrained and kindly manner, the power of his eye, the attraction of his voice, and the inexhaustible store of anecdote and illustration, both in prose and rhyme, which he had at his command on every subject. To have seen him amongst children was a thing never to be forgotten. His indefatigable labours began a few years ago seriously to affect his health, and compelled him to retire partially from the more active management of the societies alluded to; but his heart was in the cause until his latest breath. One of the last acts of his life was the securing a sum of 1007. to be paid to the Sunday School Union on the celebration of its approaching jubilee. Mr. Lloyd was interred on the 28th April in a vault in the church of King's Stanley. JOHN MONSON CARROW, Esq. May 8. At Weston-super-Mare, aged 45, John Monson Carrow, esq. Judge of the County Court of Somersetshire, Recorder of Wells, and a magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant of the county of So merset. He was the eldest son of the Rev. Richard Carrow, M.A. Rector of Broxholme, Lincolnshire, by Mary, elder daughter of William Elton, esq. of Bristol and Clifton Wood. He was of Trinity college, Cambridge, and was called to the bar at the Inner Temple, Jan. 31, 1834. He had filled his judicial appointment from the time the County Court Act came into operation, and no better proof of his legal learning and sound (decisions as a judge need be stated than the fact that, although many appeals against his judgments bad been made in the superior courts, they were invariably confirmed by the highest law authorities of the land. His patience and pleasant humour upon the bench, up to the period that disease afflicted him, were remarkable, and his ready wit and puns would ofttimes "set the (legal) table in a roar," yet no judge more determinedly supported the dignity of the court or the profession. He was the avowed enemy of those vultures ycleped "runners " and "debt collectors" who swarm in some courts, and none but gentlemen whose names appeared on the law list were allowed to bring a case before him. His health had been for some time declining, but the immediate cause of death was dropsy. The learned gentleman has left a widow, but no family. His funeral took place on Saturday the 14th May, when his remains were interred in the family vault at Redland, Bristol, of which parish his father was many years incumbent. REV. GEORGE BURGES, B.A. Jan. 24. At Whittlesea, Cambridgeshire, aged 89, the Rev. George Burges, B. A. Vicar of Halvergate and Moulton, Norfolk. This gentleman, who for nearly half a century was an indefatigable writer of books intended to promote, advance, and protect the interests of the Protestant Church and Constitution, was a member of St. John's college, Cambridge, where he took the degree of B.A. in 1787. He was collated by Bishop Sparke, soon after his lordship's accession to the see of Ely, to the vicarage of Halvergate in 1812, and to the rectory of Moulton in 1813. The first book we find published under his name is, Remarks on Mr. Wakefield's Enquiry into the Expediency and Propriety of Public Worship. 1792. 8vo. It was followed by the following essays, -with others probably whose titles have not reached us: A Letter to Thomas Paine, Author of the Age of Reason. 1794. 8vo. Desultory Hints on Violence of Opinion and Intemperance of Language. 1796..8vo. The Necessity and Duty of Enlightening the Human Race, a Fast-day Sermon. 1797. 8vo. A Letter to the Bishop of Ely, on the subject of a new and authoritative Translation of the Holy Scriptures. 1797. 8vo. An Address to the People of Great Britain. 1798. 8vo. A Discourse delivered at West Walton, Norfolk, on the Thanksgiving Day, Dec. 5, 1805. Remarks on the leading Arguments in favour of Catholic Emancipation. Wisbech, 1812. 8vo. A Letter to T. W. Coke, esq. M.P. on the Tendency of certain Speeches at Norwich. 1817. 8vo. [This produced a reply" By a Man of No Party."] Reflections on the nature and tendency of the present Spirit of the Times, in a Letter to the Freeholders of Norfolk. 1819. 8vo. This proceeded to a second edition. A Protestant Letter to a Friend on the Concession of the Roman Catholic Claims. 1830. 8vo. An Address to the Misguided Poor. 1830. 12mo. Remarks on a Commutation of the Tithe System. 1831. 8vo. The Conservative Standard of the British Empire, erected in time of trouble for all those who fear God and honour the King. 1835. 8vo.

A Commentary on the Act for the Commutation of Tithes in England and Wales. 1838. 12mo. In Watt's Bibliotheca Britannica the classical publications of George Burges, M.A. of Trinity College, Cambridge, the accomplished Greek scholar, are erroneously added to those of this gentleman. Mr. Burges was the preceptor and much esteemed friend of General Sir Harry Smith-the affectionate meeting between whom and his venerable and silveryhaired tutor, at the public dinner given to him at Whittlesea, on his return from Aliwal, was publicly noticed at the time of its occurrence. His body was buried in the family vault of St. Mary, Whittlesea, followed by a numerous circle of friends, both rich and poor, many of the former of whom had the happiness of reaping his valuable counsel in time of need, and hearing his opinion on passing events, and the latter of receiving his bounty and assistance, always ready to be bestowed on the fatherless and widows in their affliction. He was of a lofty and independent, and yet of a most benevolent and affectionate spirit, a good scholar, and a skilful writer, and every way qualified to adorn a far more conspicuous station than that which it was his lot to fill. WILLIAM CATT, Esq. March 4. At Newhaven, Sussex, aged 76, William Catt, esq. late of Bishopstone, near Seaford. Few men during so long a career have wielded a more powerful and useful influ ence in any neighbourhood. With indomitable industry, and close application to business, he operated in the corn trade during nearly half a century, and the mills at Bishopstone became so influential under his direction as to govern the flour trade in the south of England during the greater portion of that time. His transactions were of colossal magnitude, and his successes were commensurate with his clear judgment and constant and unceasing attention. With the developement of Brighton his operations rapidly extended, and his interests became closely identified with the prosperity of that town. In his relations with society his transactions were based upon the strictest liberality and justice; his friendships were firm and unswerving; and those who enjoyed his intimacy possessed an advantage of the highest order. His family consisted of six sons and two daughters, whose position in life is the best assurance that parental example and advice had rightfully influenced their career. On the 10th Feb. the carriage of the deceased was nearly precipitated over the cliff in the neighbourhood of Black Rock, at Brighton, which powerfully affected the whole of his nervous system. Whilst extricating the horses from their dangerous position, he also unfortunately slightly injured his hand by a spike at the back of the carriage-an injury thought to be inconsiderable at the time, but which unfortunately was the cause of death, for inflammation set in and an operation involving laying the hand open, which was performed by Bransby Cooper, esq. was rendered necessary. A few days before his death, his relations were buoyed up with the hope that in despite of advanced age his system was rallying, and the wound was progressing favourablyhopes, however, that proved delusive. SAMUEL WOODBURN, Esq. April 20. At his house in Piccadilly, after a short illness, aged 67, Samuel Woodburn, esq. of St. Martin's-lane, and Coedgwgan-hall, Radnorshire. This well-known connoisseur and dealer in pictures of old masters, early drawings, and prints, has been long considered one of the first, if not the very first, judges of ancient art of his day, and has helped, more or less, for the last fifty years, in forming the principal galleries of Europe. The number of fine drawings and old engravings that have passed during a long life through his hands is indeed extraordinary. The collections of the Duke of Hamilton, grandfather of the present Duke, and of Viscount Fitzwilliam, now at Cambridge, were formed chiefly by him, as were also the Dimsdale, the Sykes, and the Lawrence collections. Of the last of these, valued in round numbers at 100,0007., at least half were collected and supplied by Mr. Woodburn; and, as a testimony of the great painter's appreciation of his services, Sir Thomas painted Mr. Woodburn's portrait and presented it to him. Lord Fitzwilliam, too, with a similar object, left Mr. Woodburn a complimentary legacy of 1007. a-year. He was a man of quiet habits and of profound judgment, and probably leaves behind him no one equal in opinion on ancient art. He was possessed at the time of his death of a large collection of pictures, drawings, and engravings, which must be of great value. -Literary Gazette. LEWIS WILLIAM WYATT, ESQ. Feb. ... At his marine residence at Puck Pool, in the Isle of Wight, in his 76th year, Lewis William Wyatt, esq. Mr. Wyatt was of an ancient yeoman race, for several centuries resident at Wreford in Staffordshire, the name of " Wyatt " standing sixth in the first page in the parish register, under the date of 1562, but which has been raised, within the last rity by something of more value than fifty or sixty years, into honourable celebgenealogical antiquity. He was the second son of the late Benjamin Wyatt, esq. of Lime Grove, in Carnarvonshire, and nephew of that eminent architect the late James Wyatt, esq. surveyor-general, and the protegé of George III. and of all the royal family. Mr. Lewis Wyatt was, at one time, a pupil of his celebrated uncle, and afterwards for a few years adopted the same profession himself. But after an accumulation of patronage, chiefly among the aristocracy of Shropshire and Cheshire-Lord Forrester at Willey, Mr. Legh at Lyme, Heaton, and a host of others-having a Mr. Egerton at Tatton, Lord Wilton at handsome independence of his own, and being a great lover of quiet and social retirement, he relinquished all further professional occupation, and devoted his latter years to the cultivation and adornment of remaining years were passed, abundantly his own estate at Puck Pool, where his enriched by domestic comforts and delightful scenery, and regarded with unqualified esteem by his surrounding friends and neighbours. Mr. Lewis Wyatt was a sound and unland, and contributed largely to the erecvarying member of the Church of Engtion of St. John's Church, a few years ago, in the parish of St. Helen's, near 1853.] OBITUARY-Mrs. Becker.—Rev. R. Weaver. Ryde.
