OBITUARY.

Right Hon. LORD THURLOW.-On Friday morning, September 13, at three o'clock, at his house, on the West Cliff, Brighton. Lord Thurlow was a profound lawyer, a powerful orator, a dignified judge, and an independent statesman. He was in his 71st year. He died of a lethargy, proceeding froma slight affection of the gout, a complaint from which he had not been entirely free for years. -He was born in 1735, and was the son of the Rev. T. Thurlow, a respectable clergyman, of Ashfield, in Suffolk. He studied at Cambridge, and, after the usual terms in the Temple, was called to the bar, where his talents and manly, though rough manner, rendered him eminent. In 1762 he was appointed one of his Majesty's Counsel; in March, 1770, was made Solicitor-General; and in January, 1771, Attorney-General. In June, 1778, he was created a Peer, by the title of Lord Thurlow, of Ashfield, in Suffolk, and next day received the Seals as Lord High Chancellor of England. In this office he remained during the latter part of Lord North's Ministry, and continued in office during the Administration of the Marquis of Rockingham and Lord Shelburne. In April, 1783, when the Coalition Ministry took place, he resigned, and the seals were put in commission; but in December, the same year, he was re-appointed Chancellor, on the commencement of the Administration of Mr. Pitt, to whom he was then considered as a sort of political tutor. From this period till June, 1792, his Lordship gave his firm and able support to the Cabinet. Since that time he has lived mostly private; but, although out of office, has frequently been consulted on state affairs by his Majesty; and the Prince of Wales has, on every occasion of moment, had recourse to his advice.

The Right Hon. C. J. Fox.-September 14, at a quarter before six o'clock, on Saturday afternoon, at Devonshire House, Chiswick, in the arms of his nephew, Lord Holland. He was born on January 13, O. S. 1749; was second son of Henry the first Lord Holland, who was also the second son of Sir Stephen Fox. His Mother was sister to the Duke of Richmond, and great grand-daughter of King Charles II. He may therefore be considered as having been related to the Royal Family of this country.-Mr. Fox was sent to Westminster School; thence he was removed to Eton, where he became remarkably eminent. Here he formed his early friendships with the Earl of Fitzwilliam, Lord Carlisle, his cousin the Duke of Leinster, and other He was afterwards distinguishen persons.

sent to Oxford, at which place his talents and leaning created great admiration. He staid but a short time at Oxford, and then made the tour of Europe. In this tour he lavished

such immense sums of money, that even his father, who had long considered his extraordinary wealth as only acquired for the accomodation of his extraordinary son Charles, threatened to dishonour his bills. In the 20th year of his age he was returned to parliament for the Borough of Midhurst. During all the proceedings of the House of Commons relative to the memorable Middlesex Election, Mr. Fox stood forward as the champion of the Ministry, and Lord North, then First Lord of the Treasury in the beginning of 1772, nominated him to a seat at the Admiralty Board; and, in the latter part of the same year, made him a Lord of the Treasury; but, opposing government respecting the American colonies, in 1774, he was dismiss after which time he was looked up to as a leader of the opposition party. On the defeat of Lord North by the Rockingham party, Mr. Fox was nominated Secretary of State for the Foreign Department. The death of that nobleman, in July, 1782, terminated that short administration. Lord Shelburne and Mr. Pitt now came in, but in April, 1783. the celebrated coalition took place between Mr. Fox and Lord North; and these heretofore opposed characters became for a short time, directors of the affairs of Britain, the Duke of Portland being first Lord of the Treasury. In December the same year Mr. Pitt, with the Grenville interest, succeeded in overthrowing this phalanx, and remained in power till March, 1801, when Mr. Pitt was suceceded by Mr. Addington, who, in October, made peace with France, an event at which Mr. Fox expressed his highest satisfaction. On the succeeding war, and subsequent restoration of Mr. Pitt to the Ministry, Mr. Fox, exerted himself in opposition. Mr. Pitt's death, January 23, 1906, annihilated that administration. Mr. Fox, who had formerly been excluded from the list of Privy Councillors, was now recalled, and, on the 7th of February, was again appointed Secretary of State for the Foreign Department.

Further accounts of these eminent characters may be expected in our next number.

ABROAD.

Mr. J. J. Bachelier, director of the gra tuitous drawing school, member of the late academy of Painting, rector of the special school of Painting, at Paris, April 13, aged 82. Few artists have ever exercised a more powerful, influence. In 1765, he founded the gratuitous drawing school for the benefit of poor mechanics, which in 1766 was opened to 1,500 pupils. The Porcelain manufacture of Sevres is indebted to him for its first improvements. He had the direction of it 44 years. He entirely renounced the former fashion of Chinese figures, and first introduced designs of other ornamental kinds.

"Rad General Regnier thought proper to remain upon his ground, the difficulties of access to him were such. that I could not possibly have made an impression upon him. But quitting this advantage, and crossing the river with his entire force, he came down to meet us upon the open piain; a measure to which he was, no doubt, enCorged by a consideration of his cavalry, an arm with which, unfortunately, I was altogether unprovided."
