almost every institution in the town which has for its object the interests of religion and public benefit, experienced the advantage of his judicious counsel and effective support. Whenever the vicissitudes of trade and the dispensations of Providence brought distress upon the poorer classes, he was not only with the foremost to relieve, but he generally took the least ostentatious and most laborious office. Upright and disinterested in motive, modest and unobtrusive in temper and demeanor, he was a most affectionate relative and a warm and steady friend; and the extent of his benevolence in the amelioration of human sorrow, and the relief of human wretchedness, will only be fully known in that day when there is nothing secret that shall not be revealed. As the Editor of Aris's Gazette, his steady and undeviating support of constitutional principles was united with the utmost fairness and impartiality towards those who differed from him. Whilst its pages were ever open to the advocacy of the great principles of the Constitution in Church and State, he never shrank from the support of what he deemed right, or from contempt and abhorrence of what was mischievous and evil. Decided in principle, and remarkably honest and open-hearted in the avowal of his opinions, both of men and measures, there was a total absence of all personal rancour. The conviction of his integrity was so universal, and the evidences of generosity and benevolence so numerous and unquestionable, that he probably never made an enemy; nor was the slightest doubt ever cast upon the purity of his motives, the consistency of his career, or the solidity of his judg

ment.

His health had for some considerable time past declined; but on the Saturday evening previous to his dissolution he was attacked with paralysis, which terminated his existence on Tuesday following. His body was interred in the family vault, in Christ Church, followed to the grave by the Governors of King Edward's School, the Governors of the General Hospital, a considerable number of the Birmingham Street Commissioners, a large body of the clergy and most respectable inhabitants of the town, several members of the committee of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum and of other benevolent and useful institutions, of which the deceased had been so active a supporter.

CAPT. FILMORE, R.N. May 24. At Plymouth, aged 50, John Filmore, esq. Post Captain R.N.

This officer was made a Lieutenant,

Jan. 16th, 1808; and we first find him serving under Commodore Edward H. Columbine, at the capture of Senegal, in July 1809. He returned home acting Captain of the Crocodile frigate, and was promoted to the rank of Commander, by commission dated June 18, 1811. His last appointments were in the summer of 1822, to the Ordinary at Plymouth, and May 30th, 1823, to the Bann sloop, then employed on the African station. Finding on his arrival at Cape Coast, that Commodore Sir Robert Mends had died nearly six weeks before, he immediately appointed himself to the Owen Glendower frigate, and assumed the chief command. His commission as Captain, however, was not confirmed by the Admiralty, nor did he obtain promotion to that rank until Aug. 20th, 1824, previous to which he had returned home for the recovery of his health.

CAPT. JOYCE, R.N.

May 24. At Fordingbridge, Hampshire, aged 70, John Joyce, esq. Post Captain R. N.

He was born at the same place, a son of Joseph Joyee, esq. merchant, by Sarah, daughter of Lieut. Archibald Daroch (a distant relative of the noble family of Argyle), who lost his life in the Ramillies, when wrecked in 1760.

Mr. Joyce embarked as a midshipman on board the Monmouth 64, Capt. James Alms, which formed one of the squadron which sailed under the orders of Commodore Johnstone in March 1781; and in the next month bore part in the action at Porto Praya. He was also present at the capture and destruction of five Dutch East Indiamen, in Taldanha bay, on the 21st July following.

The Monmouth was then ordered to Bombay, where, in April 1782, she was present in a very severe action off Ceylon, in which she lost her main and mizen masts, 45 men killed, and 102 wounded. In another action with Mons. de Suffrein on the 6th July, she had twelve men wounded; and she also bore a share in the actions off Trincomalee and Cudda lore, Sept. 3, 1782, and June 20, 1783.

In Jan. 1784, the Monmouth being or dered home, Mr. Joyce was removed into the Sultan 74, bearing the flag of Sir Edw. Hughes, under whom he continued to serve until the that officer's departure for Europe, when he followed Commodore A. Mitchell into the Defence 74, and returned to England with him towards the close of 1785.

Mr. Joyce, more fortunate than most of his brother midshipmen during the peace, was constantly afloat until pro

moted to the rank of Lieutenant, May 13, 1793, at which period he was appointed to the Fox frigate on the Newfoundland station, where he had previously been serving as a master's-mate of the Stately 64.

In October following he rejoined the Stately, and soon after removed with his patron, Sir R. King, into the Excellent 74; from which he was appointed to the Galatea 32, Capt. (Sir R. G.) Keats, under whom he served nearly three years, during which he assisted in the capture of La Revolutionnaire frigate of 44 guns, Le Jean Bart and l'Expedition of 16 guns each, and l'Andromaque of 44 guns.

In March, 1797, he joined the Prince 98, flag ship of Sir Roger Curtis; from Oct. 1799, to the peace of Amiens, he served in the Ville de Paris, first-rate, successively bearing the flags of Earl St. Vincent and the Hon. W. Cornwallis, on the Mediterranean and Channel stations. In May, 1803, he was appointed to the Discovery bomb, employed to throw shells into Boulogne, Calais, and other French ports; and he subsequently commanded the Dasher sloop of war. In April, 1805, he was appointed to the Camel 44, fitted for the conveyance of stores. After making two or three trips to Gibraltar, she accompanied RearAdm. G. Murray to South America, and on her return was broken up. Joyce was then appointed to the Redpole brig, which he continued to command until Aug. 1809, when he received a post commission dated back to the 11th April, as a reward for his intrepid and judicious conduct when conducting the Zephyr fire-ship against a ship in the Aix roads.

Capt.

In May 1810 Capt. Joyce was appointed acting Captain of the Amazon frigate; and for nine months he was employed in assisting the Spanish patriots to harass their French invaders. He was subsequently appointed to the Manilla 36, in which he conveyed Sir John Sherbrook to his government at Halifax; but on the 28th Jan. 1812, was unfortunately wrecked on the Haak sands, near the spot where the Hero 74, with all her crew, had perished not three weeks before. The lives of the crew of the Manilla were fortunately all preserved; and Capt. Joyce and his officers were landed and sent to Verdun, where they continued as prisoners till the conclusion of the war.

July 20. At Leigh, Lancashire, the Rev. John Topping, Vicar of that parish, to which he was instituted in 1826. Mr. Topping's death occurred under very melancholy circumstances.

Simpson, the Master of the Leigh Grammar School, also occasionally officiated. On the day above mentioned he had brought down stairs a gown for Mr. Simpson, who with the family proceeded to church, and it was supposed that the Vicar would follow them. A few minutes after the servants heard a loud noise, and going into the deceased's bedroom, found him weltering in his blood, with a large horse pistol by his side. He was quite dead, and his face and the top of his head were completely carried away. At an inquest it appeared that the pistol in question had usually been kept in the same drawer as the gown, and it was thought that the attention of deceased having been directed to it while removing the gown, he had commenced examining it, when it had gone off by accident. There was nothing to show that decease had committed or contemplated suicide. He had kept fire-arms in his house, having been denounced by name by the Rev. Mr. Stephens at a Chartist meeting. A coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental death. The deceased was a schoolfellow of Lord Brougham, and was very generally respected. He was between 50 and 60 years of age, and the father of 14 children, eight of whom are now living,
