of an hospital, and for three successive days and nights he was engaged in dressing wounds and operating upon the wounded. He attended to no less than 300 men, and made various drawings, which, perhaps, afford the finest specimens of water-colouring in the English anatomical school. Prior to 1812 he had not been admitted a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of London, which was a necessary step to his obtaining the appointment of surgeon to the Middlesex Hospital, for which, in that year, he was the successful candidate, A few years afterwards the college appointed him one of their professors of anatomy and surgery, and the benches of the theatre were crowded to listen to his discourses. Sir Charles Bell published many works, but those on which his fame principally rests, relate to the nervous system. His repu tation in this respect is not confined to this country, but must be regarded as European. Upon the accession of William 4th to the throne, it was proposed by the Government, with the cordial sanction of the Sovereign, to confer the order of knighthood upon a limited number of men particularly distinguished in various branches of science. Mr. Bell received the Guelphic order together with Mr. König, Sir John Herschell, Sir David Brewster, Sir John Leslie, Sir J. Ivory, and a few others. At the request of his friend Lord Brougham, Sir Charles Bell furnished to the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge two papers on animal mechanics, and he assisted Lord Brougham in his edition of "Paley's Evidences of Natural Religion." He was the author of third and fourth volumes of a "System of Anatomy," the former two volumes being the composition of his brother Jn. Bell. He also published a volume of " Engravings and descriptions of the Arteries," in 1801, of which the third edition appeared in 1811. Also "Engravings of the Brain,” in 1802, and of the "Nerves" in 1803. In 1806, and again in 1824, "Essays on the Anatomy of Expression in Painting,", a work of great importance to the artist. This, as well as all his other works, is illustrated from drawings made by himself, the fidelity and elegance of which have been universally admitted. In 1810 he published Letters on the Diseases of the Urethra ; and in 1811 he printed, for private distribution, a small essay entitled

“Idea of a New Anatomy of the Brain," In 1813 he published a folio volume of engravings from specimens of morbid parts, contained in his collection in Great Windmill-street; and in 1816 a volume of surgical observations, consisting of five quarterly reports of cases of surgery treated in the Middlesex Hospital. In 1819 he printed an "Essay on the forces which circulate the blood, being an examination of the difference of the motions of fluids in living and dead vessels;" in 1820, a "Treatise on the Diseases of the Urethra ;" in 1821, a volume of "Illustrations of the Great Operations in Surgery;" in 1824, "Observations on Injuries of the Spine and of the Thigh Bone," In 1826, he published an edition of his brother's work"Principles of Surgery," In 1832, he put forth one of the Bridgewater Treatises, his subject being the "Hand, its mechanism and vital endowments, as evincing design." In 1836, Sir Charles Bell was invited to accept the chair of surgery in the University of Edinburgh, an appointment of too distinguished a character to be rejected, and he accordingly left London, receiving from many of his professional brethren a splendid testimonial of their regard for his worth and talents. It is scarcely necessary to add, that his exertions have sustained the high reputation the university has always held as a medical school, and his labours have been continued to the close of his career. The publication of his researches ou the nervous system may be said to commence with his papers inserted in the "Philosophical Transactions for 1821," to the present time. They have been collected together by him, and illustrated by their application to pathology. Sir Charles also published "Institutes of Surgery," in which he arranged the subjects in the order of the lectures he delivered in the university. In private life Sir Charles was exceedingly beloved. He was distin guished by the amenity and simplicity of his manners and deportment, and his loss will be deplored by all who are attached to science, literature, or whatever can enlighten and improve mankind. His body was interred on the 2nd of May in Hallow churchyard. The funeral was private.

Their father was an officer in the army, who left them in reduced circumstances. Sir Robert was born at Durham in the year 1780. In early life he manifested considerable ability in drawing; and, although he had a strong preference for military life, it was deemed proper to cultivate his talents as an artist. About 1790 he became a student of the Royal Academy, under the auspices of Mr. West. There the rapid success which attended his labours did great credit to his industry

and talents. In 1798 he commenced a picture of Moses and Aaron, for the communion table of Shoreditch Church; in 1794 he presented an altar-piece to the Roman Catholic Chapel at Portsea, representing Christ suppressing the Storm; and in 1798 he gave to St. John's College, Cambridge, the altarpiece of St. John Preaching in the Wilderness. At only twenty-two years of age he began his large picture of the Storming of Seringapatam, which was succeeded by two other pictures of the same magnitude one the siege of Acre, and the other the Battle of Agincourt, which latter was presented to the City of London. In 1803 he was appointed a captain in the Westminster Militia. In 1804 he was invited to Russia, and appointed historical painter to the Emperor. One of his largest works in that country was the decoration of the Admiralty Hall in St. Petersburg. During his residence at St. Petersburg he gained the affections of the Princess Mary, daughter of Prince Theodore von Scherbatoff, of Russia, and was about to marry her, when ministerial differences compelled him to leave Russia; in the year 1811, however, this marriage was solemnised, and the princess now survives him. Robert accompanied Sir John Moore into Spain, and shared in the hardships and perils of the campaign which ended in the battle of Corunna. In 1807 he was created a Knight of St. Joachim of Wurtemburg, and, on his return to England, he received the honour of knighthood from the Prince Regent, April 2, 1813. From 1817 to 1820 he was engaged in travelling throughout the East. In 1819 he was created a Knight of the Lion and Sun of Persia, and in 1832 he was created a Knight Commander of the Hanoverian Order by William IV. In 1826 he was ap pointed Consul at Venezuela, in South America, where he continued to reside until the spring of 1841, when he left his mission on leave of absence. Having visited his old friends in Russia, he was about to return to England to await the commands of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. His brother, Dr. Porter, of Bristol, received a letter dated St. Petersburg, 3rd of May, 1842, in which he signified his intention to embark, in the Jupiter steamer, for England. On the following day another letter arrived dated the 4th of May, and written

Sir

by the chaplain of the British Embassy, from which we give an extract. "Yesterday Sir Robert went to Court to pay his respects to the Emperor, and afterwards he made two or three visits to private friends; on arriving at his house, about three in the afternoon, the servant, on opening the door of the carriage, perceived that his master was holding himself in, and that he moved to the door with difficulty; but, before he could descend the steps, fell down from the effect of an apoplectie stroke, and was carried up stairs; he took a little water, soon after which consciousness ceased, and he expired at 8 o'clock this morning." He was buried in the English quarter of a Russian cemetery, and his funeral was most numerously attended.

At Westgate House, near Chichester, aged 76, Robert Hall, esq., Vice-Adm. of the Blue. This officer served the greater part of his time as a midshipman under the late Adm. Geo. Murray (brother of John third Duke of Atholl), in the Levant and Cleopatra frigates, and was promoted from the latter, to the rank of Lieutenant, Feb. 23, 1782. From that period Mr. Hall was almost constantly employed in different ships and under various commanders, among whom were Commodore Sir John Lindsay, and Captains Bourmaster and Hartwell, till Feb. 1793, when he joined his early friend, Commodore Murray, in the Duke, a secondrate; which was paid off on her return from the West Indies, at the latter end of the same year. In April 1794, after fitting out the Glory of 98 guns,

he removed into the Resolution of 74, bearing the flag of Rear-Adm. Murray, who had recently been promoted, and nominated Commander-in-Chief on the North American station. On the 3rd July, 1795, Lieut. Hall was appointed by his patron to command the Lynx sloop of war, but his commission does not appear to have been confirmed by the Admiralty till Jan. 1796: previously to which he had been superseded by another officer, on whose demise in October following, he was re-appointed to that vessel. Among the captures made by Capt. Hall whilst in the Lynx were La Solide, L'Isabelle, and Le Mentor, French privateers, the latter carrying 14 guns and 79 men.
