medal of honor in 1801, and from thence was 

 elected student of Christ Church, Oxford, 

 graduating in 1806. In 1810 he was ordained 

 priest, and the following year returned to his 

 school as head master, where he remained for 

 twenty-one years, directing the studies of a 

 vast number of yonng men, many of whom be- 

 came distinguished in after life. His character 

 as a teacher was well portrayed by Thackeray, 

 one of his pupils, whose " Greyfriars " is the 

 Charterhouse. In 1827 Dr. Russell was made 

 a Canon of Canterbury, and in 1832 was made 

 Rector of Botolph, Bishopsgate, upon which 

 he resigned his mastership. For thirty years 

 he was also connected with the Clergy Orphan 

 Corporation, and in 1849 was made its treas- 

 urer. Dr. Russell was the author of a popular 

 English Grammar (1832) ; " Rudiments of 

 Latin" (1816); "A Spital Sermon" (1813); 

 Concio ad Clerum (1833) ; and in 1820 edited 

 Casaubon's EpJiemerides.

 tion of Equity," published in London, 1852 ; 

 " Our Iron Roads, their History, Construction,

July 29. CRESSWELL, Sir ORESSWELL, Judge 

 of the Court of Probate, Divorces, and Causes 

 Matrimonial, died at Prince's Gate, Hyde Park. 

 He was born in 1794, educated at the Char- 

 terhouse and Emmanuel College, Cambridge, 

 and was called to the bar at the Middle Temple 

 in 1819. Having attained the rank of king's 

 counsel, in 1834, and led the Northern Circuit 

 with an ability which gave him a high reputa- 

 tion, he was, in 1837, returned to Parliament 

 in the conservative interest, as member for 

 Liverpool. In 1842 he was appointed one of 

 the Justices of the Common Pleas, where he 

 sat for sixteen years, and, as a judge, was uni- 

 versally allowed to be one of the ablest and 

 most impartial. In 1858, on the establishment 

 of the new court for the hearing of causes con- 

 nected with matrimony, divorce, and wills, Sir 

 Cresswell was appointed its first judge, and in 

 that capacity successfully discharged the heavy 

 duty of moulding the practice and procedure 

 of an entirely new and untried jurisdiction. He 

 was apparently in robust health when he was 

 thrown from his horse in St. James's Park, on 

 the 17th of July, fracturing his knee-pan. 

 From this he was rapidly recovering when he 

 suddenly died by disease of the heart, which 

 had been hitherto unsuspected.

Aug. 11. FIELD, JOSHUA, Esq., an English 

 civil engineer, died at Balliam, Hill-house, Sur- 

 rey, aged 76 years. His attention had been es- 

 pecially directed to the marine engine and to 

 steam navigation, since the year 1816, and ho 

 was one of the well known firm of Messrs. 

 Maudslay, Sons and Field, of Lambeth. This 

 establishment took a very prominent part 

 in the prosecution of steam navigation, and en- 

 gaged to construct engines of adequate power 

 to propel a vessel across the Atlantic, of the 

 necessary size to carry sufficient fuel for the 

 voyage, at a time when many competent au- 

 thorities doubted its practicability, and the first 

 constructors of the day declined to undertake 

 it. The engines were completed and fitted on 

 board the " Great Western " in 1838, at Bristol, 

 and the vessel reached New York iii 13 days 

 and 10 hours, thus exceeding the most sanguine 

 expectations of the promoters. In 1817 Mr. 

 Field was one of six young men who founded 

 the Institution of Civil Engineers, of which he 

 was elected president, January, 1848, after hav- 

 ing served for some time as vice-president.

Aug. 27. MILLAR, ALEXANDER, died at Mon- 

 trose, aged 16 years. He was a native of Ar- 

 broath. When a mere child his power of men- 

 tal calculation was such as to astonish all with 

 whom he came in contact. One of his favorite 

 amusements was in calculating how many 

 seconds any person had lived. His power as a 

 mental arithmetician grew with his growth, 

 and enabled him to carry off the highest prizes 

 at the schools he attended. He was also a 

 very ready rhymester, and was accustomed to 

 relate any ordinary event in rhyme. As his 

 mind increased in vigor his bodily health de- 

 clined, until he early fell a victim to an over- 

 wrought brain. 



Aug. . ARMELLINI, CARLO, formerly one 

 of the Roman triumvirate, died at Brussels, 

 aged 87 years. Pius IX., soon after his acces- 

 sion to the papacy, in June, 1846, intrusted to 

 Armellini the preparation of the reforms which 

 were effected between 1846 and 1848. When 

 the Pope fled to Gaeta he was fixed on as one of 

 the members of the triumvirate, and on the sub- 

 version of the Roman Republic he withdrew 

 from Italy to Belgium, where he spent the re- 

 mainder of his days.

 the late School of Naval Architecture, died at
