to composition. Soon afterwards his wife died, leaving him a widower with five children, but, through the kind assistance of Mr. Thomas Wakefield and of her friends, he was enabled to provide for his family. Nor was that excellent institution, the Literary Fund, wanting in rendering its generous assistance. Since that time he has published his last poem, in two parts, "The Destinies of Man," a work that will ensure him celebrity as a poet of no mean grade. About eighteen months since, Millhouse was attacked with severe illness, but he partially recovered so as to get out of doors for a short time during the early part of last summer. On the day of the Queen's Coronation, however, he took fresh cold, and never quitted the house afterwards. During his long affliction he was kindly and gratuitously attended by Dr. Howitt; and though paragraphs have appeared in the papers, stating him to be in a state of destitution and want, yet they were fabricated by well-meaning but mistaken friends, who were unacquainted with the private bounty that unremittingly supplied his necessities. He lived in a very comfortable house, decently furnished; and though naturally anxious, yet he never suffered privation or want. He was for some time assistant at the Nottingham Savings' Bank, and, through his illness, a considerable portion of his pay was continued to him.

From early childhood, Millhouse was of an unbending disposition and irritable temper. He considered himself entitled to the sympathy and support of the public, nor would he perform the slightest office that he considered menial or degrading to a man of talent. He was steady and sober, and rigidly honest. He has left two very young children by his second wife, making seven in all. The widow is left in indigent circumstances, with three children, the youngest only twelve months old. It is hoped that the hand of benevolence will be extended towards her. (Literary Gazette.)

HENRY HARRIS, ESQ. May 12. At Brighton, aged 56, Henry Harris, esq. chief proprietor of Covent Garden Theatre.

His father, in consequence of age and illness, relinquished the management of Covent Garden to him in Sept. 1809; in March, 1822, he assigned over his interest to Messrs. Forbes, Willett, and Kemble. During the twelve years Henry Harris conducted the theatre, his success exceeded even that of "the golden days of Garrick," for the receipts (during said twelve years) actually amounted to nearly

one million sterling," thus averaging above 80,0007. each season. His fine temper and urbane manners made him beloved by all around him, particularly the performers, who, during the most critical period of his theatrical life, viz. the O. P. riot, all rallied round him, and after three months' conflict, by his patience, firmness, and popularity, procured him an honourable and amicable adjustment of hostilities.

MR. EDWARD REDDELL.

April 28. Mr. Edward Reddell, of Purbeck Place, Lambeth.

Mr. Reddell was educated at the Bluecoat Charity School, Birmingham, and from thence apprenticed to Mr. Miles Swinney, a printer and publisher of a paper in that town: he continued many years after the termination of his apprenticeship with Mr. Swinney, whose kindness and liberality induced an active exertion to his interests. By careful, industrious, and sober habits, he there accumulated a handsome sum, which was vested in his employer's hands upon interest, and upon this capital he entered into partnership with Mr. Charles Grafton, purchasing the business and premises of a Mr. Lucas, in the High Street, Birmingham. After several years of successful trade, being still unmarried, he deter. mined to retire from the fatigues of business, and in order to recruit his health, which his long mechanical occupation in conducting the printing department had impaired, he undertook to collect the accounts previous to a dissolution of partnership. He had not proceeded for this purpose further than Tewkesbury, when Mr. Dyde, a printer there (and author of the History of the town) expressed a desire to seek repose in the pursuits of agriculture-a negociation took place, and Mr. Reddell purchased his stock, and entered upon this new field of enterprise in the year 1804. 1806 he marrried Maria, daughter of Reuben Capes, Esq. of Shrob Lodge, Whittlewood Forest, deputy surveyor of the royal Forest of Whittlewod and Salcey, co. Northampton. The issue of this marriage was an only son.

In

Mr. Reddell continued successfully to pursue an extensive old-book and printing business for many years, until the age of his son, who was destined for the legal profession, induced his retirement; and with a view to give his son a knowledge of languages, &c. he resided and travelled two years on the Continent, and ultimately settled in the vicinity of the metropolis. His son was placed in the office of a respectable solicitor, but met with an untimely death by a fall from his

horse in the Regent's Park in August 1835. This awful bereavement made a deep impression on Mr. Reddell's feelings, and his thoughts turned in gratitude to the patrons of his early and destitute boyhood. By his will he has bequeathed 2007, to the committee of the Blue-coat School, Birmingham (duty free), as a token of his remembrance for their benevolence in his board, clothing, and education; from which source he was enabled, by unwearied industry and perseverance, to secure a moderate independence, and aid in the work of charity his fellow men. Mr. Reddell, during the autumn of 1837, forwarded a portion of his library

to

the committee of the Blue-coat School, and has left another portion for the committee's approval. His remains, in pursuance of his often expressed request, were conveyed for interment to the church-yard of St. Philip, Birmingham.
