schools. It is supposed that, under his superintendence, not less than 3000 children have passed through the schools connected with Bentinck Chapel, from among whom have risen four Missionaries, who have long filled posts of usefulness in foreign stations. He was for years an active member of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, the Church Missionary Society, the London Society for promoting Christianity among the Jews, the Prayer Book and Homily Society, the British and Foreign Bible Society, and an Association for supplying the barge men and boatmen on the Grand Junction Canal with Bibles, Testaments, and Common Prayer Books, and making provision for the instruction of their children.

As an author, Mr. Woodd confined his labours chiefly to tracts and to single discourses. The Memoir of Mrs. Hannah Woodd, his excellent mother, was one of his earliest productions, which afterwards found a permanent residence in Dr. Jerment's Memoirs of Pious Women.-The Church Catechism, with explanations.-The Faith and Duty of a Christian, expressed under proper heads in the words of Scripture.-Advice to Youth.-The Duties of the Married State. The Day of Adversity.-The Rod of the Assyrian, a Fast Day Sermon. Memoir of Mowhee, a New Zealand Youth, who died at Paddington. A Memoir of Bowyer Smith, a pious child. The Harmony of Divine Truth. -The Excellence of the Liturgy, a Sermon.-A Missionary Sermon.-Selections from Versions of the Psalms of David, and other portions of the Sacred Writings; in which are some original compositions.

Mr. Woodd was warmly attached to all the doctrines of Christianity. He rarely led his hearers into the labyrinths of controversy; but chose rather to dwell on those topics which are best calculated to reach the heart, and to regulate the life. He was zealously attached to the Established Church.

WALTER BURRELL, Esq. M. P. April 7. Aged 54, Walter Burrell, of West Grinstead, esq., Knight in Parliament for Sussex; only surviving brother to Sir Charles Merrik Burrell, Bart. and cousin to Lord Willoughby d'Eresby.

He was the third son of Sir William Burrell, Bart. LL.D. F.R.S. and S.A., by Sophia, daughter and coheiress of Sir Charles Raymond, of Valentine House in Essex, Bart. He served the office of Sheriff of Sussex in 18-, and was first elected to Parliament for that county in GENT. MAG. May, 1831.

1817, and re-chosen in 1818, 1820, 1826, and 1830. He was one of the majority on the motion for a Committee on the Civil List, which ousted the Wellington ministry, Nov. 15, 1830; and he voted for the second reading of the Reform of Parliament Bill on the 19th.

Mr. Burrell married Helen-Ann, widow of- Chisholm, esq., and sister to Edward Ellice, esq. M.P. for Coventry, but had no children.

In the combined character of a sincere and warm private friend, an intelligent country gentleman, an active magistrate, and an upright Member of Parliament, we know not where we shall find Mr. Burrell's superior. In his public capacity he was a man of unostentatious conciliatory manners, easy of access, intimately acquainted with all the local interests of the county which he represented, and during five successive Parliaments anxious to reconcile the conflicting objects, and to promote the wishes of his constituents; possess→ ing strong good sense, sound judgment, unsullied integrity, and independent principles.

M. TALBOT, Esq.

[ocr errors]

April 26. After a lingering illness, aged 58, Montague Talbot, esq., for 23 years manager and proprietor of the Belfast Theatre; and also for many years manager of the Newry and Derry Theatres. He was second son of Capt. George Talbot, Captain of the Worcester man of war, who, with his servant, was lost on the coast of Caffraria, in the Grosvenor East Indiaman. The Captain left a widow, two sons, and a daughter, to deplore his fate. The eldest, Francis Talbot, esq., is a bachelor, of good fortune and private habits, near London. Miss C. C. M. Talbot is married to Sir D. Forrest. Mr. Montague Talbot, the younger son, was bred to the English bar, and served his commons for the purpose of being called to it; but, having been much flattered on the dramatic talent he was thought to possess, he was, at a very early age, tempted to try his fortune on the stage; in consequence of which imprudence, his uncle, the celebrated Dr. Geech, his mother's brother, revoked a will, in which he had made Mr. Montague Talbot joint heir to sixty thousand pounds, with another nephew, the Rev. Dr. Crossman, Rector of Taunton, who, by this means, came in for the entire. Mr. Talbot was one of the most eminent comedians that ever graced the British stage. His forte lay in general comedy; though he frequently wooed the tragic muse with great success; in

deed, his Hamlet, and other tragic characters, ranked high on the London boards.

MR. QUICK.

April 4. At Islington, aged 83, Mr. John Quick, the celebrated comedian. He was born in 1748, and left his father, a brewer in Whitechapel, when only fourteen years of age, to become an actor. He commenced his career at Fulham, where he performed the character of Altamont in the Fair Penitent, which he personified so much to the satisfaction of the manager, that he desired his wife to set young Quick down a whole share, which, at the close of the farce, amounted to three shillings. In the counties of Kent and Surrey he figured away with great success; and, before he was eighteen, performed Hamlet, Romeo, Richard, George Barnwell, Jaffier, Tancred, and many other characters in the higher walk of tragedy. In a few years he sufficiently distinguished himself as an actor of such versatile talents, that he was engaged by Mr. Foote, at the Haymarket Theatre, in the year 1769, where he became a great favourite of King George the Third; and upon all occasions Quick was expected to appear in a prominent character. He was the original Tony Lumpkin, Acres, and Isaac Mendosa, and after his appearance in these characters, he stood before the public as the Liston of the day. Mr. 2. may be considered one of the last of the Garrick school.

In 1798 he quitted the stage, after thirty-six years of its toils, and excepting a few nights at the Lyceum, after the destruction of Covent Garden Theatre, he did not act afterwards. The evening of his life was calm domestic sunshine; he retired with 10,000%., which served him, and left something for his son and daughter. Up to the last day of his life almost, he was in the habit of joining a respectable company who frequent the King's Head, opposite Islington church, by whom he was recognised as president. Forty years ago he was told by the physicians that punch would be the death of him. He had then drank it twenty years, and he continued the practice till the day of his death, which it did not appear to have hastened.

The will of Mr. Quick (which, from constant wear in his pocket, was in a very tattered condition), has been proved at Doctors' Commons. His personal property was sworn to be under £6000; and, with the exception of £20 to an old servant, and one other small bequest, is divided between his son, Mr. William Quick, and his daughter, Mrs. Mary-Anne Davenport.

CLERGY DECEASED.

[May,

April 9. At Newbury, aged 80, the Rev. James Bicheno, M.A. father of John Bicheno, esq. barrister.

April 5. At the Vicarage, Hornchurch, Essex, in consequence of a violent cold and inflammation of the chest, aged 61, the Rev. John Walker, B.C.L., late Fellow of New College, and vicar of Hornchurch, to which living he was presented, by the Warden and Fellows of New College, in 1819. Mr. Walker was one of the original proprietors of the Oxford Herald, and for several years assisted in its editorial department. He was the editor of "The Selections from the Gentleman's Magazine," in 4 vols. 8vo., of which a thousand copies were sold in a few months. He also published" Letters from the Bodleian Library," 3 vols. 8vo. ; a pamphlet entitled "Curia Oxoniensis; or Ob

servations on the Statutes which relate to the University Court; on the illegality of searching houses; on the Procuratorial Office; and on the University Police Act;" of which two editions were sold, and a third lately printed; "Oxoniana," in 4 vols. 12mo, and some other works.-Mr. Walker was of a placid and benevolent disposition, beloved by his relatives, and esteemed by his friends. He took his degree of B. C. L. July 5, 1797.

He was the eldest son of the late Thomas Linley, esq. patentee of Drury-lane Theatre, and brother of Mrs. Sheridan, the first wife of the late Right Hon. R. B. Sheridan. Mr. Linley will long be missed by numerous affectionate mourners, whom his originalities instructed and delighted; for his wit was pointed by the keenest sense of truth, and tempered by the kindliest sense of charity. His literary acquirements were various, and his reading singularly extensive in the metaphysics of the Hartleian and other schools of the last age. But his learning on important points that concerned his profession as a clergyman of our national church was solid and profound; it was like his piety-plain, practical, and unostentatious. His taste for music induced him to resign a benefice he held, and accept the post of Junior Fellow of Dulwich college, on which member the duties of organist and teacher of the boys devolve.
