Lately. At Breslau, aged 83, Dr. Kieser, a military surgeon, whose name was some years ago familiar to the different armies of Europe. He entered France after the battle of Waterloo, at the head of the medical staff of the German army, and the military hospital at Versailles was placed under his direction. On his return to Germany he was appointed to the professor's chair at the University of Jena. Dr. Kieser was a large contributor to the German literary reviews, and was the author of some well-received works. Though science principally occupied his attention, he represented the University of Jena in the Parliament of Weimar, and also at Frankfort, and openly avowed his non-revolutionary sentiments.

In the Fever Hospital, Dunfermline, aged 55, Andrew Hutton, better known in the western district of Fife as the "African Chief." He was possessed of considerable property and was well versed in several languages, but he was of most parsimonious habits, which eventually

led to his death, as related by himself. He had been walking along the edge of a field bordered by ash-trees, on the fallen leaves of which the cows were feeding greedily. The animals seemed fat, and he thought that if the leaves were good for them they could not be bad for him. He accordingly gathered a quantity and took them home, and after boiling them fed on them for several days. The consequence was that he was taken ill and removed to the hospital, where he died after some days of great suffering. On searching his house after death his relatives came upon an old tea-kettle, in which was found a cheque for £70, bearing date seventeen years back, and a book shewing a balance of £61 at his credit in the National Security Savings Bank. Several £1 notes, and a great quantity of loose money in half-crowns, shillings, and smaller coins, were also found in the most out-of-the-way places.-Scotch paper.

In the Zanesville (Ohio) infirmary, aged 121, Joe Balding, a coloured man. He was a Virginian slave in the days of Washington.American paper.

Nov. 2. At Preston Candover, Hants., aged 41, Louisa, widow of the Rev. Edw. Wickham. At Paris, aged 42, Maria, widow of James Forbes, esq., M.D., and British Consul at Santiago de Cuba.

Nov. 3. At Chester, suddenly, aged 62, Col. John Lloyd, C.B., late of the Bombay Artillery, and Commanding the 1st Brigade of the Cheshire Volunteer Artillery. His death occurred under very painful circumstances, at the Music-hall, at the presentation of prizes to the Chester Volunteers. The Colonel had distributed the prizes, and then proceeding to speak of the practice of the great guns at New Brighton, he said :-"That is the arm for which they have enrolled themselves; that is service for which they will be called upon

-."" These were the last words he uttered. As the word "upon" issued from his lips, he dropped to the floor. He was instantly carried to an ante-room, where he was attended by medical men, who made every effort to restore animation, but without success, and in ten minutes he had ceased to exist. A correspondent of the "Chester Courant" speaks thus of him:-"Colonel Lloyd was an officer highly thought of by the Government under which he served, and held various offices connected with his branch of the service in India, and in the early part of the year 1845 he received the thanks of the Governor in Council of the Presidency of Bombay. His services range from the year 1817, when he first entered the Artillery as cadet. He obtained his company on May 20, 1829. He was present as a captain at the storm and capture of Ghuznee, under Lo:d Keane, July

23, 1839; taking of Cabool, August 7, 1839; battle of Meeanee, July 17, 1843, and battle of Hyderabad, March 24, 1843, when he obtained promotion and honours. In December, 1844, he commanded the artillery at the taking of the Mahratta fortress of Panalla and Pawunghur, during a wide-spread insurrection of some of the Mahratta States. These fortresses stood on a range of hills several hundred feet above the surrounding country, with a very precipitous scarp all round them, and encircled by a wall at the top of this. A spot was found where there was just room to place Col. Lloyd's guns, but so near to the scarp and wall that it became necessary to sink the breech of his guns in the ground in order sufficiently to elevate their muzzles to breach the wall. The defenders could not in a like degree depress theirs. A breach, therefore, was soon made, and much praise was given to the Artillery and Engineer departments on the occasion."

In Leinster-sq., Sophia, youngest dau. of Capt. William Halpin.

Nov. 4. In Acacia-road, St. John's-wood, aged 49, Lieut.-Col. Peter Grenville Cazalet, late of H.M.'s Madras Army.

Suddenly, at Boundary-bank, Jedburgh, N.B., Wm. Bell, M.D., Inspector-General of Hospitals.

At his residence, Park-place, Chelsea, aged 84, Thomas Tombleson, esq., almost the last surviving hero who fought on board the "Victory" with Nelson at the battle of Trafalgar.

Nov. 5. At his residence, Portland-place, Bath, aged 79, Gen. Wm. Jervois, K.H., Col. of H.M.'s 76th Regt. The deceased had been in the service nearly sixty years. He received his first commission April 7, 1804, as ensign in the 89th Regt., which he accompanied to Hanover in the following year. In 1810 he was appointed to the staff of Lord Blayney; he accompanied him on the expedition to Malaga, and was slightly wounded in the attack on the fortress of Frangerola. In 1813 he was appointed to the staff of Sir Gordon Drummond, with whom he embarked for Canada, where during the operations of that and the following year he was present at almost all the actions fought with the American army, and he attained the brevet rank of major, and of lieut.-col., for his services at Buffalo and at Lundy's Lane. He became colonel in 1837, major-gen. in 1846, lieut-gen. in 1854, and general in 1860. General Jervois was appointed to the colonelcy of the 76th Foot in 1853.

At St. Helier's, Jersey, of consumption, aged 33, John Godfrey, third son of the late Charles Bourryau Luard, esq., of Blyborough-hall, Lincolnshire.

Nov. 6. At Roydon, from an accident, aged 77, Brodie McGhie Willcox, esq., M.P., of Portmansq., and Roydon-lodge, near Ware. He was an extensive shipowner, and had been managing director of the Peninsular and Oriental Company from its commencement, and on the death of the late chairman was elected to succeed him. He was first returned for Southampton in 1847, and belonged to the Liberal party.

In Glasgow, aged 30, James M'Farlan, a poet whose name is at least well known in Glasgow. He was born in Glasgow on the 9th of April, 1832, in the very humblest rank of life- his father, who is still living, being a pedlar. With his father he travelled over great tracts of Scotland, but, unfortunately, be was constitutionally cast in a delicate mould; and the vagrant life which he was compelled to lead was one of the principal causes that developed the consumption of which he died. In the matter of education, the poet had bat the scantiest opportunities; all being comprised in a few intermittent months' attendance at schools in Glasgow and Kilmarnock, so that it seemed a wonder to many who knew him how he could have acquired the knowledge he did. From the age of twenty almost to the day of his death he continued to write both prose and verse-his productions, however, being all of a miscellaneous character; yet, considering the unsettled and wandering nature of his occupation, his pieces were ingularly fresh, polished, and original; and conveyed the impression, indeed, that the author of them was more fortunately and comfortably circumstanced than ever was the case. About ten or twelve years ago, when his name became somewhat known in Glasgow and the west of Scotland, the poet made an attempt at fixing himself in some more congenial employment than that of a pedlar. In this he was successful to a partial extent, being engaged for a brief period on the "Athenæum," and subsequently on the literary staff of the late "Glasgow Daily Bulletin." It must be confessed that in both these situations the poet's erratic habits, together with his delicate health, greatly interfered with whatever success was possible in them. Thus he held neither for any length of time, and he was consequently compelled to resort to his original wandering occupation, which he pursued, however, in a much narrower circle than formerly. He married in 1857; and of several children which his wife bore to him, only a little girl remains alive. Several small volumes of verse which he published ("Lyrics of Life," "City Songs," and "The Wanderer of the West" being the principal) failed to furnish him with a tangible reward for the labour and anxiety which they cost him; but Mr. Charles Dickens published a number of the poet's most tasteful pieces in

"All the Year Round," and paid for them handsomely. During the past, but especially during the present, year, the poor consumptive's health and strength rapidly declined, until at length he was entirely unable to win a penny for the support of his family. In this dilemma, however, some good Samaritans stepped in, and by their material as well as spiritual help contributed mightily in smoothing the poor poet's passage to the grave. He died quietly and resignedly, and not altogether without hope that his wife and child would not be forgotten after his death. M'Farlan's poetical powers were strictly of the lyric order. There is not one of his poems, however brief, that does not bear the stamp of unquestionable genius-being smooth and melodious, and radiant with fresh and original thoughts. Of the man himself, we may state that he was naturally quiet and modest, and was deficient in that physical energy which in poets, as in other people, is itself an earnest of success.Glasgow Citizen.

At Shirley, Southampton, at an advanced age, Lieut.-Col. George Wilkins, C.B., K.H., late Rifle Brigade. The deceased entered the army at the close of the last century, and served in Ireland during the rebellion in 1798, being wounded at New Ross. He also served through the Peninsular war, and at Waterloo, where he was wounded, and in consequence was obliged to retire from the service in 1817. He had received the gold medal for his services at Salamanca, and the silver war-medal, with two clasps, for Vittoria and the Pyrenees.

Nov.10. Suddenly, aged 68, Thos. Mills, esq., of Tolmers, Hertford, M.P. for Totnes. He had gone to the meet of Lord Dacre's hounds

at Colman Green, and when on the St. Alban's road, he stopped at a turnpike to pay the toll, when he was seized with apoplexy and fell from his horse. Assistance was procured, but he died almost immediately. Mr. Mills was educated at Queens' College, Cambridge, was called to the bar in 1832, and first returned for Totnes in 1852. He was deputy-chairman at Quarter Sessions, chairman at Hertford Petty Sessions, and a very active and able magistrate. The "Western Morning News" says:— "In politics Mr. Mills was an 'advanced Liberal,' and as such adopted all the distinguishing views of that party. He declared himself in favour of a progressive policy,' and with less vagueness pronounced and voted for Vote by Ballot, Extension of the Franchise, and-though not a Dissenter, like his brother, the member for High Wycombe-in favour of the Abolition of Church-rates. It cannot be said that Mr. Mills made any mark in the House of Commons. He rarely, if ever, spoke, but was in frequent attendance in the division lobby, when he invariably voted with his party. He voted in support of the Chinese war, but did not vote at all on the Conspiracy to Murder Bill."

At Cambridge (at the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. Henry Marshall), aged 66, Mr. Jonas Webb, of Babraham, having only survived his wife five days. "The circumstances attendant upon Mr. Webb's death are somewhat peculiar, and pre-eminently characteristic of the man. About three weeks ago, Mrs. Webb, being an invalid, was ordered a change of scene by her medical attendants, and expressed a desire to visit her brother, Mr. Marshall, and went to Cambridge accordingly. Mr. Webb, visiting her, was induced to remain, he then being in his usual, but not robust, health, exhibiting no sign, however, but that his life in all human probability would be spared many years. Mrs. Webb got worse, sunk, and died on the 5th of November, the anniversary of the birthday of her son, who was to have been married the same morning, but whose marriage was of course postponed. When Mr. Webb realised the idea that all hopes of the survival of his wife were over (about two days before Mrs. Webb's death), he appeared grievously stricken, and fell into a nervous fever, never rallied, and died between 7 and 8 p.m. on the 10th inst., on the 66th anniversary of his own birth, and the very day on which the remains of his wife were interred. Mr. Webb's physicians stated that they could have successfully combatted the disease, but were powerless in regard to the mental shock. So has departed one who won the respect and esteem of all men with whom he associated, from the Sovereign to the peasant, one whose name will long live in connection with what was known over the whole area of civilization as the Babraham Flock, and the late dispersion of which was so soon to be followed by his decease."-Standard.
