his memory. Among these are large sums for

Dec. 31. BYINGTOST, Eev. GYEUS, a Congre- 

 gational clergyman, and for nearly forty-seven 

 years a missionary among the Choctaw In- 

 dians ; died at Belpre, Ohio. He was born in 

 Stockbridge, Mass., March 11, 1793 ; prose- 

 cuted his theological studies at Andover Semi- 

 nary, where he graduated in 1819; and, after 

 being for some months in the employ of the 

 Prudential Committee of the American Board 

 of Missions, was sent by them as a missionary 

 to the Choctaws, then in the Southern States. 

 He remained at the Eliot Station from 1821, 

 till the Choctaws, by the treaty of 1830, were 

 compelled to remove to the present Indian 

 Territory, and accompanied them thither, and 

 remained at the new station, Stockbridge, till 

 about 1866, when failing health compelled him 

 to relinquish his work, and he removed to 

 Ohio. Besides his other missionary labors, Mr. 

 Byington prepared several religious books for 

 the Indians and translated portions of the Bible 

 into their language. 



OBITUARIES, FOEEIGK. ^ Jan. 2. DOYLE, 

 JOHN, an eminent political caricaturist and hu- 

 morous painter and designer, died in London, 

 aged TO years. He was of Irish extraction, and. 

 having early evinced a taste for art, was placed 

 under the tuition of some of the best masters 

 in Dublin. He was particularly successful in 

 portraiture, though some of his delineations 

 of the horse exhibited great skill. From 1829 

 to 1840 he aroused much interest in England 

 by his political caricatures, and was known as 

 " H. B." His likenesses were striking, and he 

 was always less a caricaturist than a delineator 

 of characteristics. His Sir Robert Peel, Disra- 

 eli, Emperor Nicholas at Ascot races, his Duke 

 of Wellington, and Lord Carlisle, have never 

 been equalled. His satirical specimens were 

 also very successful, and never degenerated into 

 coarseness. In private life he was greatly es- 

 teemed. 



Jan. 8. REGNATJLT, ELIAS, a French histo- 

 rian, died in Paris. He was born in England 

 during the temporary exile of his father, who 

 was distinguished in the first French Revolu- 

 tion, and, like his father, was educated for the 

 medical profession. He relinquished it, how- 

 ever, and subsequently turned his attention to 

 literary pursuits. His talents were such that 

 he might have secured lucrative office, but he 

 was a republican, and too steadfast in princi- 

 ple to relinquish or dissemble his political 

 views, choosing rather to suffer poverty and 

 humiliation than to swerv.e from his integrity. 

 He was the author of a "History of Eight 

 Years," written as a continuation of M. Louis 

 Blanc's pamphlet " The History of Ten Years," 

 " A History of Roumania ; " translated a large 



number of works into English, and was a con- 

 tributor to " Le Siecle," and " Le Nain Jaune." 

 He was a vigorous writer, an upright and stern- 

 ly-principled man, and his extreme poverty 

 came from his honesty. 



Jan. 8. TATTAM, Venerable HENBY, D. D., 

 LL. D., F.R. S., Archdeacon of Bedford, rector 

 of Stanford Rivers, Essex, Eng., died there, aged 

 72 years. He was educated at Trinity College, 

 Dublin, from which he received the degree of 

 Doctor of Laws. In 1822 he was presented by 

 Lord Eldon, then Lord Chancellor, to the rec- 

 tory of St. Cuthbert's, Bedford, and in 1831 to 

 the rectory of Great Woolstone, which ben- 

 efices he held until 1849, when he was pre- 

 sented to the crown living of Stanford Rivers. 

 In 1844 he was presented by the Bishop of 

 Ely to the archdeaconry of Bedford, which 

 he resigned in 1866. Dr. Tattam was a chap- 

 lain in ordinary to the Queen, and the author 

 of several theological works in Coptic and 

 English, Coptic and Latin, and Coptic and 

 Arabic, "Helps to Devotion," "A defence of 

 the Church of England," and other works. 



Jan. 9. MOBFEY, Mrs., a widow of Claydon, 

 Suffolk, died there, at the advanced age of 106 

 years. She was for half a century midwife of 

 the Barham Union, and retained her faculties 

 until a few months previous to her death. 



Jan. 20. BBOTHEBTON, General Sir THOMAS 

 WILLIAM, G. C. B., an officer of the British 

 Army, died near Esher, County of Surrey, aged 

 83 years. He entered the army in 1800 ; served 

 in Egypt, Germany, and in the Peninsular War, 

 where he greatly .distinguished himself, and 

 won several medals. In 1830 he was appoint- 

 ed one of the aides to King William IY. ; and 

 subsequently was an inspector-general of cav- 

 alry at headquarters. He was made a general 

 in 1860, and was created a G. 0. B. in 1861. 



Jan. 20. VINING, Mrs. MAEY, an English ac- 

 tress of great merit, died in London, aged about 

 70 years. She was the daughter of the famous 

 actor Tony Johannot, and commenced ballet- 

 dancing at six years of age. She won great 

 applause at Drury Lane, Brighton Theatre, and 

 at Covent Garden, where she was engaged for 

 three years at ^9 a week. In November, 

 1833, she appeared in " Gustavus the Third " 

 at Covent Garden, and won great applause in 

 the celebrated German Pas. An injury to the 

 spine caused her to retire from the stage a few 

 years after. 



Jan. 22. GEEY, JOHN, an eminent English 

 agriculturist and reformer, died at Lipwood 

 House, near the Tyne. He was born in 1785, 

 and was educated at Richmond Grammar- 

 School. He entered public life at the early age 

 of seventeen, his first speech being upon the 

 abolition of slavery. He accompanied Lord 

 Brougham in his celebrated antislavery tour 

 in Northumberland and Cumberland, and took 

 an active part in the constitutional agitation 

 for Catholic Emancipation, in the great struggle 

 which preceded the Reform Bill of 1832. Ho 

 was frequently urged to go into Parliament,
