THE BISHOP OF CARLISLE. 



Dr. Samuel Goodenough, the late vene- 

 rable Bishop of Carlisle, was born about the 

 year 1741. His education was completed at 

 Christ's Church College, Oxford, where he 

 took his degree of A.M. in 1767, and of 

 L.L.D. in 1772. For several years he pre- 

 sided over an academy at Baling, where he 

 bad the honour of educating many of our 

 young nobility ; amongst others, the sons of 

 the late Duke of Portland. This appears 

 to have opened to him the path of cleri- 

 cal preferment. Through the interest of his 

 high and noble connexions he was appointed 

 Dean of Rochester; upon which he relin- 

 quished his scholastic establishment in fa- 

 vour of his son, by whom its reputation has 

 since been most ably sustained. 



By the marriage of one of his brothers 

 William Goodenough of Oxford, M.D. in 

 1806, with Miss Anne Addington, sister of 

 Lord Sidmouth, Dr. Goodenough acquired 

 additional interest. When the See of Car- 

 lisle became vacant in the year 1 807, it was 

 offered to .Dr. Zouch ; but that gentleman 

 declined its acceptance, and Dr. Goodenough 

 was consequently elected under His Majesty's 

 cong6 d'e'.ire, 



His lordship was, with Sir James Edward 

 Smith, the president, and the late Mr. Mar- 

 cham, one of the founders of the Linnaan 

 Society, of which for several years he was 

 one ol the vice-presidents. He was also a 

 Fellow of the Royal Society. 



The venerable Bishop closed a long life of 

 pious labour and the most exemplary conduct 

 at Worthing. He was found dead in his 

 bed on the morning of Sunday the I 2lh of 

 August. On the Friday night following, his 

 remains arrived in town, at the house of his 

 son, Dr. Goodenough, in Little Dean's-yard, 

 Westminster ; and precisely at nine o'clock 

 on the ensuing morning, they were commit- 

 ted to the earth in the north cloister of the 

 Abbey. The procession was conducted in 

 the most private manner as follows: The 

 lid of feathers, Abbey beadle, two vergers, 

 the prebendary, the Hon. and Rev. Mr. 

 Bentinck, supported by G. Vincent and H. 



Gell, Esqrs. ; the body, followed by the chief 

 mourners, Dr. Goodenough, the Rev. Dr. 

 Edmund Goodenough, the Rev. Archdeacon 

 W. Goodenough, <fec., and his lordship's do- 

 mestic servants, followed by twelve alms- 

 men, two and two. The coffin was quite 

 plain, covered with black velvet. The fune- 

 ral service was performed by the Hon. and 

 Rev. Prebendary. 



MR. FURLONG. 



Thomas Furlong, a gentleman distin- 

 guished in Ireland by his poetical and lite- 

 rary talent, was born at a place called Seara- 

 walsh, within three miles of Enniscorthy, in 

 the county of Wexford, about the year 1797. 

 His father was a substantial farmer. Hav- 

 ing received a suitable education, the youth 

 was, at the age of fourteen, apprenticed to 

 a respectable trader in Dublin. His leisure 

 hours he successfully devoted to the study of 

 the belles lettres; and long before the expi- 

 ration of his apprenticeship, he had become 

 a contributor to various periodical publica- 

 tions in London and Dublin. His business, 

 however, was not neglected for verse-making. 

 He retained the friendship of his employer 

 through life ; and when that gentleman died, 

 Mr. Furlong commemorated his departure 

 in a poem entitled The Burial. In answer 

 to the reproofs of some of his non- literary 

 friends, he wrote a " Vindication of Poetry." 

 Mr. Jameson, a man of liberal views him- 

 self, was struck with his talents, and gave 

 him a confidential situation in his distillery. 

 Having now more leisure, he published The 

 Misanthrope, a didactic poem, and contri- 

 buted largely to one of the London Maga- 

 zines. In 1822, he projected The New Irish 

 Magazine ; and, The Morning Register, 

 started in 1825, received much valuable aid 

 from his pen. His reputation now stood so 

 high amongst the Irish literati, that, as a 

 lyric poet, his name was often coupled with, 

 that of Moore at convivial meetings. 



Mr. Hardiman, author of the History of 

 Galway, efec., having projected the publica- 

 tion of The Remains of the Irish Bards, Mr, 

 Furlong undertook to translate the songs of 

 Caro!an. He successfully accomplished his 

 task. At the time of his death, which took 

 place at .his lodgings in Dublin on the 25th 

 of July, he had in the press a poem of some 

 length, entitled The Doom of Derenzio, 

 which, in its M.S. state, is said to have been 

 much admired by the late Rev. Mr. Maturin. 

 Though a severe satirist, Mr. Furlong was ^ 

 man of inoffensive and amiable manners. 



MONTHLY MEDICAL REPORT. 



This is the season of the year when putrid disorders, as they are called, may be expected ; 

 when the solids of the body, that is to say, are relaxed by the long continuance of atmos- 

 pheric heat, and the fluids, from the same causes, disposed to putrescency. The effect of the 

 late hot and damp weather upon animal matter, deprived of life, has been abundantly obviou.s, 

 Partridges have been kept with difficulty even lor a few days ; aud the butchers have found 

 their meat tainted even within four-and-tweDty hours after being killed. That a condition
