market-day, the occasion of which was the funeral of his father; and so extraordinary was his assiduity and care, that in the whole time he did not lose 201. by bad debts, though his average yearly receipts exceeded 50007. It is also remarkable, and is highly creditable to his talents and perseverance, that the amount of his sales and profits steadily increased every succeeding year; so that his receipts, for the twelve months preceding his retirement, considerably exceeded 60501. During the

time he was thus steadily employed in trade, he was not inattentive to public duties, and never attempted to evade any parochial or other responsible office. For more than 20 years he carried on a coal trade, for the sole benefit of the poor inhabitants of the town. In this excellent undertaking he was assisted by his friend, Mr. Thomas Easthope, father of the present Sir John Easthope, Bart., who purchased the coal at the pits, and conveyed it to Tewkesbury, while upon Mr. Caddick devolved the more responsible and laborious task of selling it, receiving the cash, and keeping the accounts.

After Mr. Caddick retired from business, in 1820, his time was almost wholly devoted to the public service. When he retired from trade he abandoned all intentions of increasing his wealth, and as his housekeeping and personal expenses rarely exceeded a third part of his income, he constantly gave away between seven and eight hundred pounds a year. In addition to this large amount periodically dispensed in acts of charity, on one occasion he distributed in the course of a few months upwards of 50007., and this he bestowed in the most judicious and praiseworthy manner among private individuals and public institutions. It may therefore be asserted that during the last 25 years of his life he had benefited the community to the extent of at least 20,0007.! and all the while exhibited, in his mode of living, a laudable example of economy, though without ever evincing the least shadow of parsimony. He was a regular subscriber to the numerous charitable institutions in the town wherein he lived, and also to the most important of those of the county, and to some in London, Birmingham, Bristol, &c. He was twice married, but had no issue, and his last amiable partner, to whom he had been united upwards of 40 years, survives him.

Mr. Caddick by his will has bequeathed the following sums to public institutions : -The London Missionary Society, 10007.; Highbury Independent College, 10007.; Baptist College, Stoke's Croit, Bristol, 1,000l.; British, or Lancasterian School, Tewkesbury, 8001.; Deaf and Dumb Asy

lum, Edgbaston, 5001.; Gloucester Infirmary, 5007.; Gloucester Lunatic Asylum, 500.; Gloucester Magdalen Asylum, 5007.; Wesleyan Missionary Society, 3007.; Fund for assisting poor Lunatics on their leaving Gloucester Asylum, 2007. in 3 per Cent. Consols; Moravian Missionary Society, 1,000l.; Baptist Missionary Society, 1,000l.; Religious Tract Society, 1,000Z.; Irish Evangelical Society, 1,000l.; British and Foreign School Society, 1,0007., in Brazilian Bonds; Congregational Home Missionary Society, 400.; School of Industry for the Blind, Bristol, 5007.; Church Missionary Society, 300.; Infants' School, Tewkesbury, 100%.; Tewkesbury Dispensary, 100. sterling. Total, 12,7007. A portion of the above legacies are not payable till the death of his widow, but the greater number take immediate effect.

JOHN NEWINGTON HUGHES, Esq.

Aug. 29. At his house in Kingsgatestreet, Winchester, aged 70, John Newington Hughes, esq. a magistrate for Hampshire.

He was the son of Mr. John Hughes of Maidstone, by Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Laurence Newington, of Biddenden, Kent. He lived for the greater part of his life in his native town; and, having been brought up in a banking-house, became a partner in the County Bank there, under the firm of Sir William Bishop, Larking, and Co. This house suspended payment in 1816, after which time Mr. Hughes continued out of business, and was Mayor of Maidstone in 1824 and again in 1830. About fifteen years ago he left that town to take the management of the affairs of the Gas Company at Winchester, in which he became sole proprietor, and he continued to reside in that city until the time of his decease.

He married Rebecca, daughter of Mr. John Russell of Maidstone, and widow of John Alexander Claringbould, esq. a lady who brought him considerable property, but no issue. A daughter however survives him, married to Henry Johnson, esq. of Winchester, to which daughter and his widow his property has devolved.

Mr. Hughes from boyhood was attached to the fine arts. He acquired the rudiments of drawing from Mr. Wm. Jeffries, of Maidstone, the father of James Jeffries the artist, and became a collector of pic. tures and works of art at an early age. That he had a correct judgment and fine taste his splendid collection fully evinces. His gallery includes Caraccis, Domenichinos, A. Durers, many Teniers', several Cuyps, Vandycks, G. Douws, Wouvermans, Wilsons, Sir Joshua Reynolds',

Turners, &c. of very fine quality, and which will occupy two days' sale (the 14th and 15th April) at Messrs. Christie and Manson's. His books, engravings, coins, and articles of vertu will be sold by Messrs. Leigh and Sotheby in February.

Among other interesting features of his picture-gallery are the family portraits of the noble house of Fairfax, brought from Leeds Castle in Kent. From the same place Mr. Hughes acquired a large portion* of the valuable papers of that truly historical family. They came to him in sacks, but he carefully bound them in many folio volumes. He also took some measures towards preparing them for the press, by transcription, and by having copies made of his portraits; but no publisher could be found willing to undertake the publication, the work being too voluminous (Mr. Hughes wished every paper to be printed), and the illustrations too numerous, for a bookseller to see his way with them. An ample selection should be made by a competent editor: for the papers are extremely curious, and it is a folly to wait for a chance of printing them entire.+

H. L. ELMES, Esq.

Nov. 26. In Jamaica, whither he had gone for the benefit of his health, aged 32, Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, esq. architect, of Gordon-street, Euston-square.

He was the only son of James Elmes, esq. surveyor of the port of London, and his uncle is an eminent builder in the metropolis. Mr. Elmes was selected as the architect of St. George's Hall, Liverpool, out of eighty-five candidates. He took the prize for the designs of the hall,

* Another portion was sold by auction by Mr. Christie. See a full account of them in the Gentleman's Magazine for Jan. 1831, p. 72.

+ Since this was written we are informed that Mr. Hughes's Fairfax papers have been purchased by Mr. Bentley for a considerable sum, under the auspices of which eminent publisher they will shortly make their appearance. They will throw much light on many important transactions of the times. Having purchased the principal portion of the papers soon after the Leeds Castle sale, Mr. Hughes was very successful in buying up further additional portions of them which had got into other hands, and profuse in his outlay in adding various illustrations to them, to enable them to be published with greater advantage; they will thus probably be considered by the public a great acquisition to our historical stores.

when that building was to be erected separate from the Assize Courts; he afterwards took the prize for the courts, when they were to be erected separate from the hall; and, finally, he took the prize for the hall and the courts when all were to be combined in the same building, and under the same roof. He afterwards obtained the prize for the designs of the Collegiate Institution at Liverpool, and also for the County Lunatic Asylum at West Derby; and at the time of his death he was engaged in erecting mansions for Hugh Hornby, esq. and Hardman Earle, esq. near Woolton, and for the late mayor, George Hall Lawrence, esq. at New Brighton. Prince Albert was so delighted with St. George's Hall, during his visit to Liverpool in the July of 1846, that he subsequently sent the architect his gold medal as a mark of the esteem in which he held the architect of that noble building.

Mr. Elmes fell a victim to consumption. He has left a widow and one child to lament his premature desease.

MR. ALEXANDER CHISHOLM.

Oct. 3. At Rothesay, in the Isle of Bute, aged 55, Mr. Alexander Chisholm.

This artist was born at Elgin, in Morayshire, and was intended by his father to be brought up as a weaver, an occupation to which he entertained a strong aversion. His predilection for art manifested itself at an early age, and so strongly, that he was accustomed to sketch upon the cloth which he was occupied on at the loom all the eccentric figures he saw, and reminiscences which struck him. This was the result clearly of natural impulse, for he had never yet been stimulated or inspired by any works of art. It was at Peterhead he was placed with a master to learn the vocation his father intended him to pursue; and here, when his leisure permitted him to resort to the sea-share, he found great pleasure in sketching on the sand. He was presented with the first pencils he possessed by Mr. Mitchell, an architect. When about thirteen or fourteen years of age he walked from Peterhead to Aberdeen, where, having wandered about for some time, he was at length ar. rested before a shop window, by seeing some advertisement about colours. He entered, introduced himself to the proprietor, and from him received his first lessons in light and shade. At this time there was a meeting of the Synod, the members of which he was permitted to sketch; and his work gave such satisfaction, that he was forthwith commissioned to paint them, which he was compelled to decline, being

totally ignorant of the use of colours. He must have employed his leisure time profitably, for when about nineteen or twenty he came to Edinburgh, where he was patronised by Lord Elgin and the Earl of Buchan, and was subsequently appointed an instructor at the Royal Scotish Academy. One of his private pupils was Miss Susanna Stewart Fraser, an excellent and accomplished young lady, between whom and Mr. Chisholm an attachment grew up, which resulted in their marriage.

In 1818 he came to London, while yet under the patronage of the Earl of Buchan, and met with a considerable share of liberal encouragement.

The works of this esteemed painter have long been favourably known to the public. His favourite style of art was history, on which we need not now comment, as the most ungrateful of all styles. He also painted portraits with eminent success; but, having suffered affliction during nine years antecedent to his death, his latter works do not exhibit that degree of vigour which characterised his earlier works.

Forbes, D.D. Minister of Old Machar

Dr. Forbes was not only a good scholar in the common acceptation of the term, but had devoted a great deal of time to scientific pursuits, in which his excellence was so marked that he was unanimously appointed by the Senatus to lecture on chemistry. In this department, and indeed in everything connected with the progress of the human mind, Dr. Forbes displayed great ingenuity and thorough independence of thought.
