Several deaths of persons well known by name or by

association are mentioned in the papers. That of Captain Basil Hall, some time buried from the world in Haslar Asylum, will be regretted by all. Others re- cently dead are Dr. Gillespie, Professor of Humanity in the University of St. Andrews, and brother-in-law of Lord Campbell—known for his verse and classical attainments ; Mr. Frederick Sugden, eldest son of the Irish Lord Chancellor ; and M. Theule, formerly member of the Legislative Assembly, who expired at Paris in his eighty-eighth year.
