On the 15th of September, 1816, he married Lady Elizabeth Thynne, eldest daughter of the Marquess of Bath, by whom he leaves issue.

He was in the Expedition to Walcheren, including the bombardment of Flushing. In 1810 he proceeded to Cadiz, and took part in all the succeeding campaigns in the Peninsula. He was employed on the staff, and was severely wounded in the assault of the entrenchments at Sarre, and during his services in Portugal and Spain he had six horses killed or wounded under him in action. He was present in seventeen engagements, six of them general actions, exclusive of sieges.

Oct. 3. At his residence, El Retiro, Campden Hill, Kensington, aged 83, Alfred Edward Chalon, esq., R.A., portrait painter to Her Majesty, honorary member of the Society of Arts of Geneva, and member of the Society of Arts of London.

Mr. Chalon and his elder brother, the

late John James Chalon, who died in 1854, were the sons of M. Jean Chalon, sometime Professor of the French Language and Literature at the Royal Mili tary College, Sandhurst.

Alfred Edward Chalon was born at Geneva in 1777, and accompanied his father to England, when the family were frightened from that city by the French revolution. The two brothers were destined for a mercantile life; but the passion for Art burnt strong within them, and their father permitted them to follow their inclination. Accordingly they entered their names as students at the Royal Academy.

In 1808 the brothers joined together in establishing among their friends "The Sketching Club," a society for the study and practice of composition. Its chief members were the late C. R. Leslie, R.A., C. Stanfield, R A., T. Uwins, R.A., and Messrs. J. Christall, J. Partridge, R. Bone, and S. J. Stump. The "Sketching Club" lasted somewhat more than forty years, but gradually became extinct a few years ago.

Alfred began to exhibit at the Royal Academy in 1810, and he continued to do so till the last exhibition, which contained several of his pictures.

Having been elected in due course an Associate of the Royal Academy, and afterwards a full Academician, Mr. Chalon gradually rose to become, and reigned for many years as, the fashionable water-colour painter of the age, and may be styled par excellence the artist of the ladies, in the portraiture of whom, more especially in their Court dresses, his facile and graceful pencil was ever most peculiarly felicitous.

Mr. A. E. Chalon was the first who was commissioned to paint a portrait of Her Majesty after her accession to the throne; his well-known portrait represents the Queen in a standing posture in the state dress which she wore in opening her first Parliament. Mr. Chalon's talents were not confined to portrait painting, although his peculiar talent and consequent lucrative employ ment kept him chiefly to that branch of the art; he also painted several subjects of a sacred and historic character, which are of a very high order of merit though less known than his portrait scenes.

Dec. 6. The Rev. W. E. Chapman, Rector of Edenham, Lincolnshire, At the breakfast after the wedding of his

eldest daughter, Mr. Chapman stood up to return thanks for himself and his wife; he spoke a few minutes, fell forward, and instantly expired. He was domestic chaplain to Lord Willoughby D'Eresby, and had been rector of his parish for forty years.

Feb. 1, 1859. In the obituary of the Rev. William John Cheshire, Canon of Canterbury, in the last volume of the Annual Register, the Rev. Canon is described as having been "tutor to the sons of the Earl of Egremont, sent to Oxford by that nobleman in charge of his youngest son, and rewarded for his care by presentation to two family benefices." This paragraph was imported into the notice of the Rev. Canon by a most vexatious error of the press; the statement was intended to form part of the biography of the Rev. Thomas Sockett, in p. 482 of the same. volume.

He had received the war medal and three clasps for Busaco, Vittoria, and Nive. For some years he commanded the 14th Foot. He had also seen considerable service in India. He commanded a division in the Burmese war, and was present at the storming and capture of Ghuznee on the 23rd of July, 1839, when he commanded the reserve which entered the city after the storming-party had established themselves. His name was most honourably mentioned in the despatches of Sir John Keane, and in those of the Governor-General, Lord Auckland. Sir Willoughby was from 1847 to 1850 Commander-in-Chief at Bombay. He was nominated K.G.C. in 1840; K.C.H. in 1830; and had conferred upon him the order of the Dooranee Empire of the 1st class at Cabul, in September, 1839.

Helen Begbie, dau of a gentleman who held an office under the Board of Trade. A family of six children, five sons and a dan., were the fruit of this union. The eldest son was unfortunately killed in 1845, in one of the battles with the Sikhs. The expenses of married life and an increasing family drew closer his relations with the press, and his contributions, as editor, coadjutor, or voluntary ally, during the forty years that have since elapsed, would occupy a space to astonish even the most laborious of his literary contemporaries. The Standard, the Morning Herald, the Universal Review, and many other periodicals were the recipients of these valuable compositions; and yet he published a large amount of separate works, and for the last quarter of a century devoted himself with untiring energy to the diligent discharge of his clerical functions as Rector of St. Stephen's Walbrook, to which he was presented, through the interest of Lord Brougham, (who was distantly related to his wife through the Auckland family), in 1835.

In 1847 Dr. Croly was appointed afternoon preacher at the Foundling Hospital, but soon relinquished the office in some disgust at the manage. ment of the institution. He was also involved in the violent disputes in his own parish, of which the public heard more than enough. In the pulpit the eloquence of Dr. Croly was of the highest order, and his just popularity attracted crowds from every part to his beautiful church, where his impressive discourses, his massive form, grave and inflexible countenance, and sonorous voice produced striking effects; and pathos and persuasion, when needed, hung upon his lips in the fine delivery of touching descriptions of Christian experiences and Gospel exhortation.

His theological works belong to an important order. Interpretations of the Prophets and the Apocalypse applicable to the great concerns of mankind, and an earnest enforcement of religious truths, in union with the purest morality, mark every volume he has dedicated to these subjects. His contributions to the literature of the press have been referred to. In works of fiction also he shone with pre-eminent lustre. His picture of the Wandering Jew in "Salathiel" is one of the most striking efforts ever seen in that class of literature.

Thus hastily noticed, it will appear that the lamented Rector of Walbrook, independently of his ministerial devotion,-gratefully acknowledged by his charge and admired by the world at large, and of his valuable works in Divinity, spent a long life in the anonymous inculcation of virtuous morals, the promotion of useful purposes, and the dissemination of improvement throughout the mass of the community, by means of an ever-ready and everefficient periodical press. And further, that he has earned a prominent place and lasting renown in the great distinct provinces of divinity, poetry, history, romance, and the drama. Nullum tetegit quod non ornavit is a tribute richly deserved by the very extensive and miscellaneous creations of Dr. Croly; and his private life was worthy of his public position. In society his conversation was instructive and pleasant, and full of pertinent anecdote and general information.

man.

Dr. Croly was emphatically a good His piety grew with his age; and sincerity, fervour, and a constant and zealous exercise of every Christian virtue have shed a holier halo over his later (not declining) years-for blessed health and apparent firmness and strength were granted him to the last. Dr. Croly's death was awfully sudden. He had left his residence in Bloomsbury-square to take a short walk before dinner. When in Holborn, he suddenly fell down, and on being taken into a shop was found to be quite dead.

According to his own desire, his remains were laid under the church where his best works have been performed. A marble bust bequeathed by him for that purpose will mark the spot to fature pastors we hope not less eligible, and future congregations equally sincere in their following and attachment.
