visedly left unguarded), was convicted, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. After his release, Mr. Mackenzie lived for some years in the United States. In the meanwhile the English Government had changed its policy towards its colonies, and in especial towards the Canadian colonies. The right

of self-government was largely conceded, and the colonists, having now the responsibility of managing their own affairs, and feeling how much they were dependent on a strict union with the parent state for safety against annexation, had become universally contented and loyal. As nothing was now to be feared from Mr. Mackenzie, the Government wisely permitted his return to Canada. He resumed his seat in the Legislative Assembly, and though he is stated in the local papers to have taken an active part in colonial government, his name has been almost unheard in England.

May 26. At Dunachton, Invernessshire, after a brief illness, The Mackintosh.

June 26. At Debdale, Finedon, Northamptonshire, aged 71, Miss Frances Juliana Mackworth, eldest dau. of the late Sir Digby Mackworth, bart., of Cavendish Hall, Suffolk.

March 9. In Cumberland-street, London, aged 77, General Sir Archibald Maclaine, K. C.B., Colonel of the 52nd Regt.

The deceased was the second son of Gillian Maclaine, esq., of Scullasdale, in the Isle of Mull. He entered the old 94th Regt., in his 13th year, and served in the Mysore campaign of 1797 against Tippoo Sultan, including the battle of Malavelly, and in the siege and storming of Seringapatam, where he received three wounds, from the effects of which he was confined in hospital for upwards of a year. From the time of his recovery he was actively employed until the year 1804, when his broken health from repeated wounds compelled him to return to Europe; he had been engaged in the capture of the Danish settlement of Tranquebar, and in the Polygar war in 1801, including the battle of Ardringry and affair of Serimgapore; in the Mahratta war of 1802, 3, '4 against Scindia, Holkar, and the Berar Rajah, including the storm of Julnaghur, siege and storming of Gawilghur, the siege of Asseghur, and the battle of Argaum. After some home service he was sent to the Peninsula, where he served the campaigns of

1810, '11, '12, and was dangerously wounded at the battle of Barossa. But his most remarkable exploit was his noble defence of Matagorda. This was an

outwork of Cadiz, and was held by him with only 155 men, from the 22nd of February to the 22nd of April, 1810, against a force of 8000 French under the personal command of Marshal Soult. The redoubt was at last utterly ruined by the enemy's artillery, and he was obliged to surrender, but so highly was his stubborn defence esteemed, that he received the Order of Charles III. of Spain, and many years after he was honoured with knighthood by William IV.

Lord Augustus Fitzclarence, son of William IV., taking a third class in the same year. Mr. Dealtry, then an LL.B., was ordained, and, after serving in subordinate clerical appointments at home, was appointed in 1835 Archdeacon of Calcutta. This office he held for 14 years, until in 1849 he was nominated by Lord John Russell's Government to the bishopric of Madras, which he held till his death.

Nov. 30. At Meadowbank House, aged

cen

84, Alexander Maconochie Welwood, esq., of Garvock and Meadowbank, a "lord of seat," by the title of Lord Meadowbank, late one of the Senators of the College of Justice. This distinguished lawyer occupied a prominent space in Scottish society for three-quarters of a tury. He was born in 1777, being the eldest son of Mr. Maconochie, the first Lord Meadowbank, a very learned and accomplished judge and an acute philosopher-a sketch of whose life has been written by Lord Brougham. He passed at the Scottish bar in 1799; was appointed Solicitor-General in 1813; Lord Advocate in 1816 (under the Liverpool Administration); and a Judge of the Court of Session and Court of Justiciary in 1819, from which he retired in 1843. In the year 1817 he was returned to Parliament as M.P. for the since disfranchised borough of Yarmouth, Isle of Wight; and he subsequently held a seat, in the Conservative interest, for the Fifeshire boroughs.

Although not possessing the high philosophical acumen of his father, Lord Meadowbank was a man of excellent parts, extremely quick and ready, of indomitable courage and decision, and great energy; and he filled his various important offices with much credit.

His activity of mind, even after his retirement, led him to take an active interest in all county matters, and in everything that took place in Edinburgh connected with the improvement of manufactures and the fine arts, of which last he was a munificent patron. Till within a few years of his death he was one of the most active members of the Board of Manufactures, and one of the Vice-Presidents of the Royal Institution.

After his retirement from the Bench, Lord Meadowbank resided constantly at his paternal estate of Meadowbank, which be greatly improved and beautified; and among other things, he carried out with extraordinary success the system of transplanting trees of large size, very few of which ever failed under his treatment. His hospitality was unbounded, and there are many who still remember the magnificent entertainments which, as Lord Advocate, he gave to the Archduke Nicholas, afterwards Emperor of Russia, and subsequently to the Archduke Maximilian of Austria. One of the most remarkable passages of his life was his being the instrument of removing the mask from the countenance of "The

Great Unknown," and of proclaiming to the world, in his presence, that the author of "Waverley" was Sir Walter Scott, which he did in a graceful speech at the Theatrical Fund Dinner, in 1827.

March 5. In Pelham-crescent, Brompton, aged 71, J. M. Maddox, esq., many years lessee of the Princess's Theatre.

March 16. At his residence in London, aged 87, John Henry Mandeville, esq., late Minister Plenipotentiary to the Argentine Republic. He was born in Suffolk in 1773, and was the oldest member of the diplomatic service. His long career embraced an extraordinary variety of incidents and events. As a boy he entered the navy; he subsequently held a commission in a dragoon regiment; he was selected to be the British agent in France for the exchange of prisoners, before the peace of Amiens; he was attached to Lord Whitworth's Embassy, he was secretary to Sir Arthur Paget at Vienna in 1805, and he afterwards served in the missions of Frankfort, Constantinople, Lisbon, Paris, &c. In 1835 he was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary at Buenos Ayres, where he remained for eleven years. Mr. Mandeville's great experience of public affairs, and his memory, which extended over the greater part of a century, rendered him a most agreeable companion, and he continued to fill a distinguished place in society to the last day of his protracted life.

M.'s Commissioner and Consul-general for the islands of the Pacific since 1843. The distinguished part which the deceased gentleman took in the war of South American Independence is well known to history. Entering the Peruvian service as a volunteer, under General San Martin, then (1818) operating in Chili, after serving in the English army under Wellington in the Peninsula, he rose by his eminent military and administrative talents to the rank of General. General Miller shared in many of the most glorious exploits of the late Earl of Dundonald, when that great captain (then Lord Cochrane) was astonishing the world by his daring and success. Like his more celebrated commander, General Miller experienced the full measure of ingratitude of the South American Republics.

The Countess was a Princess of Naples, sister of the late King Ferdinand II., and born on February 29, 1820.

Jan. In the United States, aged 37, Lola Montes, a personage who, notwithstanding her evil ways, had a share in some public transactions too remarkable to allow her name to be omitted from a record of celebrated persons deceased in the year 1861.

Her

Lola Montes was the public name of a woman, who was born of an English or Irish family of respectable rank; her real name is believed to have been Eliza Rosanna Gilbert, or Marie Dolores Eliza Rosanna Gilbert. At a very early age the unhappy girl was found to be pos sessed of the fatal gift of beauty. mother, to whose influence the daughter attributed the misfortunes of her afterlife, was ambitious and unscrupulous. A residence at Bath, and the society of Bath as it then was, gave the opportunity of a ruinous success; and the poor girl ran the short course to destruction with headlong speed. She was married to an old man, ran away with a captain, and was deserted, while yet little more than a child. What course she took is too notorious. She appeared for a short time on the stage as a dancer (for which degradation her family put on mourning, and issued undertakers' cards to signify that she was dead to them), and then blazed forth the most notorious Paphian in Europe. Were this all, these pages would not have borne her name; but Lola Montes, as she now called herself, exhibited some very remarkable qualities. The natural powers of her mind were very considerable she had a strong will, and a certain grasp of circumstances: her disposition was generous, and her sympathies large. These qualities raised the courtezan to a singular position. She became a political power. She exercised a fascination over sovereigns and ministers more widely extended than perhaps has before been possessed by any woman of the demi monde. She was invited

from the stage to the palace at Dresden : she was flattered by royalty at Berlin; the good King of Prussia himself offered her refreshments. She was for a short time affianced to a Prince. Paske witch, the Viceroy of Poland, offered her a dowry of diamonds which duchesses might envy. Her expulsion from Warsaw made her a heroine at St. Petersburg. She was betrothed to an amateur statesman at Paris: she became a politician, and after his death an active political intriguer. After a period of public notoriety, she became the mistress of the old King of Bavaria. Over this weak but amiable monarch she exercised an unbounded influence. He created her Countess of Lansfeldt; endowed her with an estate of £5000 a-year, with feudal rights over a population of two thousand persons. She ruled the kingdom, and, singular to say, ruled it with wisdom and ability had not the revolution driven her from power, she would probably have established a free Parliament and liberal institutions at Munich. Her audacity confounded the policy alike of the Jesuits and of Metternich. The political Hypatia was however sacrificed to the rabble. She filed from Munich in disguise, and took refuge in Switzerland. As her reign of power at Munich had been the highest point in her singular history, so her fall was com⚫ plete. Her extravagance had dissipated the treasures lavished on her by the infatuated King; her estates were confiscat ed-worse than all, her power was gone, and she could hope no more from the flattery of statesmen. She became an adventuress of an inferior class. Her intrigues, her marriages, her duels, and horsewhippings, made her for a time a notoriety in London, Paris, and America. Then she sank into deeper and deeper degradation; and lived out the remain der of her ill-spent life in the depths of poverty in New York, a prey to frightful maladies, forlorn, and dependent in her last hours on the consolations of a Christian Minister, who endeavoured to abate the anguish of her remorse. For, like other celebrated favourites, who, with all her personal charms, but without her glimpses of a better human nature, have sacrificed the dignity of womanhood to a profligate ambition, she upbraided herself in her last moments with her wasted life; and then, when all her ambition and vanity had turned to ashes, she understood what it was to have been the toy of men and the scorn of women.

Aug. 7. At Paris, Louisa Catherine, Princess de Montléart, dau. of the late Gen. Sir Wm. Keir Grant.

May 26. In Montagu-place, Russellsquare, aged 68, Vice-Admiral Constantine Richard Moorsom.

The deceased was the eldest son of the late Admiral Sir Robert Moorsom, K. C. B., formerly Commander-in-Chief at Chatham. He was educated at the Royal Naval College, where he distinguished himself by gaining the first medal, three mathematical, and two. French prizes. He served at the siege of Cadiz as signal mate; in the Revenge, 74, as lieutenant, on the North-American station during the war with the United States. He commanded the Fury in the attack on Algiers in 1816, in which that vessel threw more shells than any other of the vessels engaged. This result was attained by arrangements which were afterwards adopted in bomb-ships, by order of the Admiralty. In the Prometheus he was in the exercising squadron, under the late Sir B. Hallowell, and in the Ariadne he had the Racehorse and the Helicon frigates under his orders for experiments in the Channel for some months. After having been senior officer at the Mauritius and dependencies, he succeeded to the command of the Andromache, 42, and of the Cape of Good Hope squadron on the death of Commodore Nourse. He afterwards commanded the Prince Regent,
