g-enuity and great attention, in neither of 

 which Mr. H. was deficient. 



At Paris, iu the prime of life, by an at- 

 tack'of apoplexy, J. liamsay Cuthbert, esfj. 

 The father of this gentleman was a native 

 of i'cotland, and served in the navy under 

 a purser. By assiduity and attention, lie 

 rose to be a purser, and was secretary to 

 Sir Edward Hughes during his loug service 

 in India, in which capacity Mr. C. made a 

 very large fortune, the bulk of which, 

 dying- soon after his return, he left to his 

 son, J. R. Cuthbert. This gentleman en- 

 tered life under the most flattering circum- 

 stances ; possessed of a g-ood fortune, he 

 contracted an early marriage with the 

 beautiful Miss Smith, daughter of General 

 Richard Smith. He also entered int) public 

 life, and was chosen M.P for Appleby, for 

 which place he sat only ia one parliament, 

 and appears to have since retired to private 

 pursuits. Wliile ia the House of Commons 

 he voted steadily with the opposition. 



On Sunday.the 25th Feb. last, the Lady 

 of Sir John Carr, K.G. &C. of New Norfolk- 

 street, Grosvenor-square. This amiable 

 woman, formed by nature to adorn society, 

 was long withdraw;! from it, by a lingering 

 illness of many years' duration. Few only 

 were the friends who had tlic opportunity 

 of adequately appreciating the virtues of her 

 heart, the suavity of her disposition, and 

 th.-? extent of her intellectual. attainments. 

 These qualities sh;>d a radiance round the 

 chamber of sickness, and, aided by the 

 consolations of religion, enabled her in the 

 closing scenes of life, to submit to tlie will 

 of Heaven with exemplary resignation. 



In Cromer-.?treet, Brunswick-square, 85, 

 Joseph Au.it 111, esq. I ormerly manager of 

 the Theatres Royal, Chester, Manchester, 

 Newcastle, &c. He began his th^'atrical 

 career under Garrick, by whom he was 

 much esteemed ; and lie was noticed by 

 Churchill iu the Rosciad, and by the late 

 Tate Wilkinson, iu his memoirs, with re- 

 spect. He enjoyed his faculties to the 

 last, and resigned his brcatli without a 

 struggle iu the arms of a beloved and affec- 

 tionate daughter, whose unremitted atten- 

 tion to him in tli;^ decline of lift-, was his 

 solace and comfort. 



[Jn our notice of the late Mr. Taunton, of 

 Hatton Garden, we find that we erred in 

 describing him as an opponent of vaccina- 

 tion. He did not oppose vaccination, but 

 merely inoculated, all who wished it, for 

 the small pox, and never recommended it 

 to any of his patients. On the contrary, 

 since its foundation, he was a subscriber to, 

 and one of the managers of, the Royal Jen- 

 ncriau Society, nor was he convicted of a 

 misdemeanor, or suH'ered three months' im- 

 prisonment. He was prosecuted, and the 

 Jury called, but on explanation the cause
