Mr. Ewbank was born at Gateshead, about the year 1773, and was adopted when a cala by a wealthy uncle who ired at Wyei fe, on the banks of the Tees. Being intended for the Roman Cathie ministry, he was sent to Ushaw College, from which be absconded, and bound amsefn the year 1913 to Mr. T. Censon, an vernamentai painter in New castat, in whose service be had ample opportunity for indulging his love of art: and indeed, beß re the expiration of his apprentice stup, be exa bited several pietures with werk. ghly commendable for the engality of stye they enaced; his mister having kindly afforded Lim the privilege of studying an der Mr. Alexander Nasmyth, at Ecatargh, whither Mr. Couson had removed. Young Ewbank's rare talents procured him high distinction and extensive practice bota as a painter and teacher of drawing. The freedom of has style of sketching from Nature was especia y skim.res. Hs taste at this period mouned caxty towards marine subjects, in every variety of which be evated equal power, and a complete mastery over his materials; but he also executed a series of views in Edinburgh. afterwards engraved by Limits. His reputation. 2owever, wil be found to rest malaly upon his cabinet-pictures of coast scenes, river banks, and subjects of a similar class. About the year 1-23, he painted some works of much greater pretension than any he had hitherto attempted, as the "Visit of George IV. to the Caste of Edinburgh," the "* Entry of Alexander the Great inte Babylon," and Hann:hal Crossing the Aips;" all of them works of considerable ability, yet by no means equal to his other producti ns. A View of Edinburgh from Inchkeith exhibits higher quanties of excelence, and is treated with great daring and poetical feeling.

The career of the artist was now at its zenith; fame and wealth were showered upon him; and in one year his talents produced ham no less than £2500. But as prosperity advanced, reason and moral rectitude forsoo him. One year saw him occupying an elegant house in Edinburgh, surrounded by the refinements of polished

lue, blessed with an interesting famer the next the tenant of a miserable cellar, the child of penury, his wife ruined and broke in spirit, his offspring growing up amids wants and temptations, himself the vict of habitual intoxication. The labours of his pencil during the later years of his suggest nothing but painful regrets, produced, as they frequently were, in the taproom of a common ale-house, or in is own wretched abode, where a solitary chair and a pile or two of bricks formed the only articles in the shape of furniture to be seen-the window-sill serving for his easel. Under such circumstances were his pictures during the last twelve years executed. They were generally painted on tin, within an hour or two, and sold on the instant, wet and unvarnished, for sixpence or a shilling, which was immediately spent in ministering to his sensual gratá. cations. It may readily be supposed the these works exhibited few of the beauties which had gained for the painter his widespread reputation; though it is said, that even at this time, his memory, richly stored with the recollections of scenes he had delighted in ere the destroyer had taken possession of reason, would sometimes suggest such subjects as rekindled in their delineation his wonted fire.”—AriUnion.

Third, and more lately, in 1845, an accurate, terse, and elegant translation of the Roman Historian Sallust, which is noticed in the November number of our Miscellany for 1845.

REV. R. C. DILLON, D.D.

Nov. 8. In the house attached to the "English Reformed Chapel," in White'srow, Spitalfields, the Rev. Robert Crawford Dillon, D.D. a gentleman of unenviable notoriety.

We are not informed of Dr. Dillon's parentage, but find it stated that he was born in the rectory-house of St. Margaret's Lothbury on the 22d May, 1795 (of which church the Rev. Dr. Whitfeld, F.R.S. was then Rector). He lost his father in his youth, and his mother placed him under the private tuition of the late Dr. Trollope of Christ's Hospital, and afterwards with the Rev. John Cawood at Bewdley in Worcestershire. He was matriculated at Oxford as a member of St. Edmund's hall, where he received the degrees of B.A. 1817, M.A. 1820, B. and D.D. 1839. He was admitted to deacon's orders by Dr. Howley, then Bishop of London, Dec. 20, 1818, and appointed to the curacy of West Milton in Dorsetshire. The following year, having been ordained priest by Dr. Fisher, Bishop of Salisbury, he became Assistant Minister of St. John's chapel, Bedford-row, where he continued four years and a half. On the 30th July 1824 he was licensed to the curacies of Wilsdon and Kingsbury in Middlesex, and on the 11th Nov. 1825 to the church of St. James Clerkenwell (we believe as Evening Lecturer). In Aug. 1826 he removed to St. Matthew's chapel, Denmarkhill, Camberwell. In 1828 he was elected, by a majority of 120, Morning Preacher at the Asylum for Female Orphans in the Westminster-road, for which he received the Bishop of Winchester's licence on the 31st Dec.; but he resigned that appointment in the following July on becoming Minister of the proprietary chapel in Charlotte-street, Pimlico. From 1829 to 1837 he had the additional charge of the early Sunday-morning service at St. Swithin's, London Stone.

In 1839, having been for some years Evening Lecturer of St. James Clerkenwell, he became one of the candidates for the then vacant rectorship of that parish, in which the voluntary system prevails, and "most votes carry the day."

as then that the frailties of his private re brought before the public in the a popular election; and the connated in favour of the Rev. W. ener, M.A. of Corpus Christi bridge

Articles having been exhibited in the Consistory Court, at the instance of the Bishop of London, Dr. Dillon was prohibited from performing Divine service in Charlotte-street chapel in May 1840. After this, his frequent appeals to the public for pecuniary assistance too plainly told the deep privations under which he laboured.

Three years since, Dr. Dillon engaged a building which had for some time been occupied by a body of New Jerusalemites, in Friar-street, Blackfriars, and, although not professing to depart from the doctrines of the Church which he had left, he introduced a new system of discipline, and modified, to some extent, the liturgical services. His connexion increasing, Dr. Dillon removed to a more spacious building, in White's-row, Spitalfields, and having constituted himself "First Presbyter," or "Bishop," of the new church, recently ordained several ministers to "supply "the branch Reformed Churches at Horsleydown, Chelsea, Friar-street, Islington, and other places where they have been established.

Dr. Dillon's career affords another instance of the demoralising influence of that irregular and uncanonical sphere of action, the proprietary chapel: which since the days of the unfortunate Dr. Dodd (who drew fashionable crowds to that very Charlotte Street Chapel), has proved the snare of many an able but vain and ambitious man. In his early days Dr. Dillon had acquired great celebrity as "a popular preacher," and was followed from far and near by those who are subject to that peculiar infatuation which has been not inaptly termed "religious dissipation." It was natural that many of his followers should be unwilling to believe the charges brought against him: nor can we perhaps be surprised that some deluded admirers should still have clung to their attachment, even when his misdemeanours had received the solemn investigation and censure of the courts of law.

parish for forty-three years, and of Pilta Ratlandshire, for forty-eight years. He was educated at Westminster School, when he became a foundation scholar, and thener proceeded to Trinity College, Cambridge. where he graduated in 1792, and was som after ordained to a curacy in the diocese of Peterborough, not far from the preferments be so long held. He was one of the oldest incumbents in the diocese, and pursued the even tenor of his way as an English clergyman of the old school, in usefulness to others, and acquiring the respect of those near whom he was placed. For a period of forty years he never ceased to perform his own duty, often assisting his clerical brethren, and never being absent more than two or three weeks from his parish, thus proving a quiet and unobtrusive example to those in his own prefession of attention to his cure and conteatment in the society and neighbourhood in which Providence had cast his lot. He enjoyed for many years the friendship and acquaintance of the nobility and gentry of the surrounding neighbourhood, some of whom were contemporary with him in his college career. He was a practical con sistent churchman, and avoided extremes in every way; and, like the Church of which he was a priest, required no mort than a reasonable adherence to those duties insisted on by her, by this means enabling most to become attached to his communion. His death was awfully sudden, resulting from a fit of apoplexy, which struck him in his garden, and immediately deprived him of life.
