THE BISHOP OF ROCHESTER.

April 6. At 15A, Grosvenor Square, W., suddenly, of heart disease, aged 68, the Right Rev. Joseph Cotton Wigram, D.D., Lord Bishop of Rochester.

Dr. Wigram was the sixth out of the eleven sons, and sixth out of the fourteen children of Sir Robert Wigram, of Wexford, an eminent London merchant (who was created a baronet in 1805, and whose grandson is the present Sir Robert Fitzwygram, 3rd baronet), by his second wife, Eleanor, daughter of John Watts, Esq., of London. He was born at Walthamstow, Dec. 26, 1798, and having been educated by private tuition, entered at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. as sixth wrangler in 1819, and proceeded M.A. in 1822. He was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Ely in 1822, and priest by Dr. Howley, then Bishop of London, in the following year. In 1827 he was appointed preacher-assistant at St. James's, Westminster, and in the same year he was also appointed secretary of the National Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church, a post which he occupied till 1839. He was rector of East Tisted, Hampshire, from 1839 to 1850; Archdeacon of Winchester, rector of St. Mary's, Southampton, and Canon of Winchester Cathedral from 1850 till 1860, when, on the death of Dr. George Murray, he was elevated to the see of Rochester, of which. he was the 96th Bishop from its foundation by Augustine in 604. The episcopal jurisdiction includes the city and deanery of Rochester, with the counties of Essex and Herts (excepting ten parishes in the

former county), and is of the annual value of 50007.

"Dr. Wigram," says the Times, was an evangelical in his religious views, and a year or two ago his somewhat injudicious denunciations ex cathedra of those of his clergy who played cricket with their parishioners on the village greens, or who wore moustaches and beards, caused no little indignation in Essex and ridicule in London. His lordship, however, was a very earnest, hard-working man, without any pretensions to oratorical powers or theological learning; but whatever faults his clergy might find with his discretion, no one ever accused him of discourtesy, inaccessibility, or indifference to the calls of duty." His lordship published various pamphlets, sermons, and charges as archdeacon. He married, in 1837, Susan Maria, daughter of Peter Arkwright, Esq., of Willersley, co. Derby, and by her, who died in 1864, he leaves issue six sons and three daughters. A letter in the Times, of April 9, from "A Sincere Mourner," says :-"His lordship had been confirming on Friday and Saturday in different parts of the diocese. On Saturday afternoon the Bishop returned to London, and proposed to stay overnight in Grosvenor-square. On Sunday morn ing he was to preach at St. James's; on Monday morning to confirm at Braintree, on Tuesday at Gillingham and Chatham Barracks, and on Wednesday at Gravesend.

In the evening the relative with whom he was staying, and who is in very weak health, was seized with a fainting fit. The Bishop assisted to convey him upstairs, and was in the act of drawing a chair to the sofa, when he fell forward and died without a word. It seems that his lordship had been informed last year by his physician that the heart disease from which he suffered rendered him liable at any moment to sudden death. Indeed,

three or four weeks ago his lordship had a slight premonition in the street, and would have fallen had not some workmen observed him to totter and caught him in their arms."

The remains of the late bishop were interred on the 12th April, beside those of his wife, at Latton Church, near Harlow, Essex, the funeral being of a strictly private nature.

granting to himself and his descendants the right of bearing the arms of the house of Wirtemburg, accompanied with the inscription of the grand order of that principality-"Amicitiæ virtutisque fœdus,"" The league of friendship and virtue."

As the deceased lived and died unmarried, the title becomes extinct.

AMICITIAE VIRTUTISQUE FEDUS

SIR J. S. HIPPISLEY, BART.]

March 20. At the Manor House, Mells, Somerset, aged 76, Sir John Stuart Hippisley, Bart.

The deceased was the only son of the late Sir John Coxe Hippisley, Bart., by Margaret, second daughter of the late Sir John Stuart, Bart., of Allanbank; he was born at Clifton, near Bristol, on the 15th August, 1790; was educated at Eton, and at Ch. Ch., Oxford, where he took his degree of B.A. in 1813. He succeeded to the title, as 2nd baronet, on the death of his father, in May, 1825. He was a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant for Somerset, and served the office of High Sheriff of that county in 1856.

The father of the deceased, having been engaged in the East India Company's service in India, and subsequently, by his sovereign, in diplomatic negotiations in Europe, was created a baronet on the 30th of April, 1796. He was a Fellow of the Royal and Antiquarian Societies, one of the Managers of the Royal Institution, and a member of the Government committee of the Turkey Company, and he was also in Parliament for many years as member for Sudbury. Having had the good fortune to be engaged in negotiating the marriage between the Princess Royal of England (daughter of George III.) and his late Majesty of Wirtemburg, Sir John obtained letters patent from the Prince,

SIR J. DICK-LAuder, Bart. March 23. At Bournemouth, Hants, aged 53, Sir John Dick-Lauder, Bart., of Grange and Fountain Hall, co. Haddington.

The deceased was the eldest son of the late Sir Thomas Dick-Lauder, Bart., of Fountain Hall (who was the author of numerous works illustrative of Scottish tradition), by Charlotte Anne, only child and heiress of the late George Cumin, Esq., of Relugas, Morayshire, and of his wife Susanna Judith Craigie, eldest daughter of Colonel Craigie-Halkett, of Hall Hill, co. Fife. He was born at Relugas in 1813, and succeeded to the title as 8th baronet on the death of his father in 1848.

The late baronet in early life served for two years in the Portuguese Liberating Army, and subsequently for twelve years in East India Company's Bengal Cavalry; in 1848 he was appointed a deputy-lieutenant for Midlothian, and he was also a magistrate for the county of Wigton.

Sir John was the representative of the families of Lauder Tower and Bass, and of Dick of Braid and Grange. The family is in direct descent from an Anglo-Norman baron named De Lavedre, who accompanied Malcolm Canmore into Scotland, in 1056, to assist that prince to recover his kingdom from Macbeth. The first baronet was John Lauder, of Fountain Hall, who was so created in 1688;

his son and successor, Sir John Lauder, was nominated a senator of the College of Justice, under the title of Lord Fountainhall, in 1689. He married a daughter of Sir Andrew Ramsay, a senator of the College of Justice, by the title of Lord Abbotshall, and at his decease, in 1722, was succeeded by his eldest son John, the 3rd baronet. He married Margaret, the daughter of Sir Alexander Seton, Bart., who was also a senator of the College of Justice, by the title of Lord Pitmedden, and at his death left issue two sons, Alexander, 4th baronet, and Andrew, who succeeded as 5th baronet. Sir Andrew married his cousin Isabel, the only child and heiress of William Dick, Esq., of Grange, by whom (who was in a direct descent from the Plantagenets) he had issue three sons; he was succeeded at his death by his third and only surviving son, Andrew, who became the 6th baronet of Fountain Hall. This gentleman died in 1820, and was succeeded by his only son, Thomas, the father of the subject of this memoir.

The late baronet married, in 1845, Lady Anne, second daughter of North, 9th Earl of Stair, and had issue four sons and three daughters. He is succeeded by his eldest son, Thomas North, ensign 60th Rifles, who was born in 1846.

THE REV: SIR C. BELLEW, BART.

DEN HAUT

March 18. At the house of the Jesuit Fathers, in Gardinerstreet, Dublin, aged 49, the Rev. Sir Christopher Bellew, Bart., of Mount Bellew, co. Galway.

The deceased was the eldest son of the late Sir Michael Dillon Bellew, Bart., of Mount Bellew, by Helena Maria, eldest daughter of the late Thomas Dillon, Esq., of Dublin, and of Eddeston, co. Kildare. He was born in the year 1818, succeeded as 2nd baronet on the death of his father, in June, 1855, and was in holy orders of the Church of Rome.

The family of the late baronet is descended from a common ancestor with the Bellews of Barmeath, now represented by Lord Bellew. He is succeeded in the

title and estate by his nephew Henry Christopher, only son of the late Thomas Arthur Bellew-Grattan, Esq., who was some time M.P. for co. Galway, and formerly in the 34th regiment, and who died in July, 1863, having married, in 1858, Pauline, daughter and co-heiress of Henry Grattan, Esq., and granddaughter of the late Right Hon. Henry Grattan, whose surname he assumed in addition to his patronymic. The present baronet was born on the 1st June, 1860.

ADMIRAL SIR P. HORNBY, G.C.B.

March 19. At Little Green, near Petersfield, aged 81, Admiral Sir Phipps Hornby, G.C.B.

The deceased was the fifth son of the late Rev. Geoffrey Hornby, rector of Winwick, Lancashire, by Lady Lucy Stanley, daughter of James, Lord Strange, and sister of Edward, 12th Earl of Derby; he was born at Winwick in the year 1785, and was educated at Sunbury.

He entered the Navy in May, 1797, and saw much active service in the West Indies and the Mediterranean. In May, 1806, he served on shore at the defence of Gaeta, and was intrusted with the command of the seamen and marines during the operations connected with the capture of the island of Capri. In August the same year he was promoted to the command of the Duchess of Bedford, and in that vessel, when in the Gut of Gibraltar, he succeeded in beating off two Spanish privateers. He was next appointed to the Minorca, and was employed at the blockade of Ceuta. While in command of the Volage, he co-operated for some time in the defence of Sicily against the threatened invasion of Murat. He received a gold medal for the part he took in the action off Lissa; he afterwards commanded the Spartan, and remained with that ship until it was paid off in 1816. In 1832 he was appointed superintendent of the Royal Naval Hospital and Victualling yard at Plymouth; in January, 1838, appointed Superintendent of the Dockyard at Woolwich; from December, 1841, until promoted to flag rank in November, 1846, he filled the office of Con

troller-General of the Coastguard; and from February to December, 1852, he was a Lord of the Admiralty. Sir Phipps Hornby was made a C.B. in 1815; K.C.B. in 1852; and promoted to G.C.B. in 1861.

The late Admiral married, in 1814, Maria Sophia, daughter of the late Lieut.Gen. John Burgoyne, and by her, who died in 1860, he has left, with other surviving issue, Geoffrey Thomas Phipps, a Commander R.N., now of Little Green, who was born in 1825, and married, in 1853, Emily Frances, daughter of the Rev. John Coles, of Ditcham Park, Hants.

THE REV. R. B. BYAM, M. A.

March 1. At Petersham, Surrey, aged 82, the Rev. Richard Burgh Byam, M.A., vicar of Kew and Petersham.

The deceased was the second son of the late Capt. William Byam, formerly of the 68th

Regt., of Sidcot and Woodborough, Winscombe, Somerset, by Mary, daughter of the Rev. Richard Burgh, of Mount Bruis, co. Tipperary, the grandson of the Right Rev. Ulysses Burgh, Bishop of Ardagh. He was born at Southampton on the 26th January, 1785, and was educated at Eton; he was afterwards admitted a scholar of King's College, Cambridge, Dr. Sumner, the late Archbishop of Canterbury, being then the college tutor. He graduated B.A. in 1808, and became fellow of his college, and proceeded M.A. in 1811. He was ordained by the Bishop of Norwich, but did not undertake any particular sphere of parochial duty. He became a private tutor at Eton, and was for several years occupied in classical tuition. In 1816 he went out to Antigua to take possession of the property known as Byams," which came to him from his elder brother, Martin William Byam; he resided there five or six years, and was some time a member of the privy council of the island.

66

On his return to England he was appointed tutor of his college. In 1826 he was appointed one of the Whitehall preachers, and soon after, on two several

occasions, in 1827 and 1828, he was selected by the University as one of the examiners of the classical tripos. In 1827 he was presented by his college to the rectory of Sampford Courtenay, Devon, which he exchanged in the following year for the united benefices of Kew and Petersham.

During his residence at Kew, Mr. Byam was introduced to various members of the royal family, and became an especial favourite with the late Dukes of Cumberland, Cambridge, and Sussex, by the latter of whom he was appointed domestic chaplain. In 1852 he removed from Kew to Petersham, appointing a curate in residence at the former parish, but still maintaining the friendship of the royal family, and his personal influence as vicar. The Duchess of Cambridge, the Duke, and the Princess Mary (at whose recent marriage with the Prince Teck he acted as one of the officiating clergy) entertained a most sincere regard for him, a testimony the Duke has often announced in public when alluding to the merits of Mr. Byam's character. The continuance of this esteem from the royal family was characteristically proved on the day of Mr. Byam's funeral by a special letter of condolence with his surviving relatives from the Duchess of Cambridge, with assurances of their unbroken esteem for the worth of the departed vicar, and the intimation that, but for the court which was held that day by her Majesty in London, and which required her presence, her Royal Highness would have sent her representative to accompany the mournful cortège to the grave.

The National Orphan Home was one of those public institutions in whose welfare Mr. Byam was especially interested, and its foundation was in a great measure due to his practical charity and influence. In private life he was no less beloved than in his ministerial character.

The deceased, who was well known for his antiquarian and genealogical tastes, was descended from a family originally of Somersetshire, described as "Antiquissima familia Byamorum;" it consisted of two branches, descended from two brothers, the sons of William Byam, the distinguished Royalist, who was engaged on the king's side throughout the whole of the civil wars in the west of England, and who afterwards became, in 1654, governor of Surinam
