Nov. 28. At Leamington, aged 78, John Carter, esq. of Coventry, solicitor. He was the son of John Carter, esq. who was mayor of Coventry, in 1786, and appointed chamberlain in 1795. On the resignation of his partner Edward Inge, esq. of the offices of coroner and town clerk, in the year 1813, he was appointed in his room, which important situations he held until 1835, when he was superseded by the new corporation, and had a retiring pension of 2801. per annum. His great practical knowledge of the affairs of the corporation, and the general local affairs of the city, was well known and evinced by repeated examinations before Parliamentary Committees. When the new corporation imprudently engaged in a law-suit, by which they sought to make the neighbouring parishes contribute to the local expenses of Coventry, he was employed by the latter in resisting their demands. The result was a verdict in favour of the parishes, by which an expense of many thousands of pounds was entailed on the corporation. Mr. Carter married for his first wife the dau. of Ald.

Nov. 9. At the Trinity Alms Houses, Salisbury, aged 73, Richard Bright. The deceased was a person well known to almost every inhabitant, from the circumstance of his being a "blind fiddler," whose services for nearly half a century have been constantly in request at merry makings and children's parties. Poor Bright lost the use of his eyes at sixteen years of age. He was for upwards of fifty

years a constant and almost daily worshipper at the Cathedral. His punctuality, humility, and other Christian virtues, attracted, some years ago, the attention of the venerable Canon Bowles, who wrote one of his simple and touching effusions in reference to the poor blind man whose simple history we are noticing. In losing him Salisbury has lost one of its "characters," and he will doubtless be remembered for many a year by his familiar cognomen of "Fiddler Bright,"
