was frequently chairman of the bench of magistrates. Lord Chief Justice Campbell, alluding to his decease in open court on the day of its occurrence, characterized Mr. Dampier as "one of the most learned, honoured, and excellent men who ever adorned the profession."

He married a daughter of the Rev. Christopher Erle, of Gillingham, Dorsetshire, sister to the present Sir William Erle, Judge of the Common Pleas; by whom he has left issue a son, William, and two daughters, Jane and Emily.

HENRY MITCALFE, ESQ.

June 4. At Tynemouth, Henry Mitcalfe, esq. of Whitley, a magistrate for the county of Northumberland, and formerly M.P. for Tynemouth.

He was returned to Parliament for Tynemouth at the general election of 1841, on Liberal principles, after a contest, in which he polled 295 votes, and W. Chapman, esq. 213. He sat only until the dissolution of 1847.

The character of Mr. Mitcalfe, socially, commercially, and politically, always stood very high. He was a man of remarkable intelligence and considerable zeal-possessed of a very retentive memory, and an excellent judgment in appreciating and applying the knowledge he collected and stored. His health, for some time past, had been declining; and he expired at his residence in Tynemouth, within the precincts of whose ancient priory his remains were interred.

CHARLES TAWNEY, ESQ. Lately. At Oxford, Charles Tawney, esq.

The name of Tawney has, for about a century, been honourably connected with the city of Oxford. Mr. Tawney himself was elected to the old corporation in 1831. and afterwards to the new in 1837, and again in 1840, he was placed in the civic chair; and in the discharge of its duties he combined integrity of purpose with kindness of manner, gentlemanly and hospitable attention, with an exact observance of the rules and requirements of office. When he retired from the Council in 1844 he presented an admirable statue of Sir Sir Thomas Rowney, formerly a distinguished and munificent Member of Parliament for the city, which now occupies the centre niche in front of the Town Hall.

Mr. Tawney was the friend and encourager of all associated endeavours to improve the condition of the industrious, and especially to extend the knowledge of the right principles of agriculture, and thereby increase its profitableness. He

was among the first to form the Royal Agricultural Society of England, and afterwards one of the most active and earnest in the promoting the arrangements for its meeting at Oxford in 184-. He also took an active part in the establishment of the Oxfordshire Agricultural Society, and in promotion of horticultural exhibitions. As a governor of the Radcliffe Infirmary and the Warneford Asylum he regularly attended their meetings, and gave them the benefit of his sound judgment and prudent consideration, his business-like habits, and distinctness of views and purposes; in short, his good-will to man was a prevailing principle, not a sudden impulse or a short-lived feeling; it accompanied him at home and abroad, in the smaller and greater actions of his life. He evinced his attachment to the Church by his liberal contributions towards the erection and repair of several churches in his neighbourhood. He gave the site of the church erected at Headington Quarry, and an organ to the parish church of Headington, besides a handsome contribution towards its restoration.

BENJAMIN TULLOCH, ESQ.

May 12. Benjamin Tulloch, esq. late of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, surgeon.

Also, the sum of 4001. for the purpose of founding a Scholarship or Exhibition in the College of Medicine in Newcastle, in connexion with the University of Durham, to

be denominated "Tulloch's Scholarship or Exhibition."-Newcastle Guardian.

LUDWIG TIECK.

April 28. At Berlin, aged 80, Ludwig Tieck, the translator of Shakspere.

He was born in Berlin on the 31st May, 1773, and educated at Halle, Göttingen, and Erlangen, where he became deeply impressed with the spirit of historical and poetic literature. Having convinced himself that classic art, as raised in the Renaissance Age, was worn threadbare, he sought to direct public attention to the romantic literature of the Middle Ages. In this undertaking, assisted by the two Schlegels and Novalis, he met with triumphant success, and, fostered by the influence of Schelling's philosophy, this school gained, in a short time, a considerable influence in the literature of every European language.

The version of Shakspere by Tieck and the Schlegels is the best that has hitherto been made. As a storyteller Tieck was unrivalled. There is a genial glow in all his tales and legends, which inspires the imaginative reader to an extraordinary pitch of delight. He was personally much beloved, and owed his local influence as much to his ready and friendly conversational talents as to his writings.

With the fruits of early study at his command, he was at all times of his life diligent and studious of fresh acquisitions. In the field of European literature he was versed as few other men have been; with something of an especial preference for Spanish and English. His love for the latter, as shown by his many excellent labours on our old dramatists, as well as in the translation of Shakspere, give him especial claims to regard in this country.

His splendid library, which was sold a few years back, was an evidence of judgment as well as of good fortune in the collection of literary treasures, while it showed the wide range of his pursuits. The circumstances which caused its dispersion were such as must have raised the poet in the esteem of all who knew them,while they lamented, for his sake, the effects of so generous a sacrifice of his best companions.

His funeral took place on the Sunday following his death. The hearse was followed by the carriages of their Majesties and Royal Family, and by those of the most eminent personages of Berlin. Among the mourners were Baron von Humboldt, Count Redern, and almost every person distinguished in literature, arts, and sci

ence.

MR. JAMES CARTER.

June 1. At St. John's Place, Camberwell, aged 61, Mr. James Carter, a selftaught labourer in literature, who raised himself to some distinction.

On

He was the son of very humble parents, and was born at Colchester July 5, 1792. His father had been in early life an husbandman, but was wild, and left his family and enlisted for a soldier. His mother was a decent respectable woman, and to her he was indebted for all the advantages both in body and in mind that it was his lot to enjoy. She lived till November 1831. She procured for her son a place as a shopboy with a tailor at Colchester; but he was there in so menial a capacity as not to be able to learn the trade; by degrees however he got an insight into it, became useful to his employer, and in time proceeded to London for improvement. In May 1819, he married at St. Paul's, Covent Garden, a worthy young woman, with whom he had been acquainted for ten years; and by whom he had a numerous family, six sons and two daughters. his marriage he arrived at the dignity of a master tailor, and settled at Colchester. He even belonged to a literary society, and was surprised in the spring of 1825 to be told by the secretary that it was his duty in turn to give a lecture. This he would gladly have avoided, but there was no help for it; so he composed and delivered a Lecture on Taste; and in March 1827 delivered a second lecture. In 1833, when his health was so bad as to prevent him working at his trade, and heavy expenses pressed on him from the death of some of his children, the possibility occurred to him of getting help by the publication of his Lectures on Taste. They were therefore printed by subscription with some success; and he also published "A Lecture on the Primitive State of Man." In 1836 he removed with his family to London; and compiled for Messrs. C. Knight and Co. "A Manual for the Apprentices to Tailors." This gave not only proof of his technical skill, but of the rational and contented tone of mind with which the writer looked upon his own vocation in life. In 1845 his personal history and the account of his literary amusements were very pleasantly narrated in one of Mr. Knight's "Weekly Volumes," under the title of "Memoirs of a Working Man." In Mr. Knight's introduction to this work he describes the author "as a man of humble station-unknown to the worldwho had strong aspirations after knowledge-much satisfaction in its acquirement; but who had walked through life humbly and obscurely-who had laboured with his own hands to earn his daily

bread who had endured the bitterest poverty-who had been prostrated for years by chronic sickness. If these Memoirs deal not with striking adventures, they present a clear reflection of the mind of the writer, which is sincere. It had been formed under the most adverse circumstances. He makes no claim to extraordinary powers of understanding; he displays no unwonted energies. The purity of his style is one of his most remarkable characteristics." This volume brings down Carter's history to 1815. In 1850 he published "A Continuation of the Memoirs of a Working Man, illustrated by some original Sketches of Character."

In 1852 he published “Thoughts on several Subjects, including Sacred Poetry; Happiness; Health; Thoughts on Rhyme; on Men who have been called Good; and on the Varieties of the Human Face."

Ill health so pressed upon him that he was unable to follow his business with success, and poverty accompanied him to the end of his days; but his Christian spirit and resignation endured to the last. They are apparent in all his writings; and his latter volumes evince the same good feelings so justly pointed out by Mr. Knight in his "Memoirs." His painful position was alleviated by several kind friends; and he occasionally was relieved by the Royal Literary Fund. We grieve to add he has left his widow and family in great distress.
