William Walford, B.A., of Boreham House, and subsequently of Hatfield-place, in the parish of Hatfield Peverel, Essex, and was born at Boreham in 1795. He was educated at Felsted Grammar School, and afterwards at the Charter House, under Dr. Raine and Dr. Russell. In due course he served his time, and was articled to Mr. Parsons, solicitor of Hadleigh, Suffolk; and he practised as a solicitor at Bocking and Braintree for several years, in partnership with Mr. J. Cunnington, and also with his brother, Mr. J. Edward Walford. He retired, however, from his profession many years ago, and took up his residence in the parish of St. Matthew's, Ipswich, of the charities and welfare of which parish he took an active interest. He married, firstly, about the year 1820, Harriott, dau. and heir of the late John Gosnall, esq., of Lawford Hall, Manningtree, Essex, and Bentley Hall, near Ipswich, and by her (who died in 1832), he has left issue an only child, Mr. John Desborough Walford-Gosnall, of Park Cottage, Bentley, who assumed, by royal licence, the additional name of Gosnall, after his maternal grandfather, whose property he inherited.

The Emperor made him a member of the Corps Legislatif, but, so far as known, did nothing else for him, and the doctor speaks occasionally with some bitterness, in the "Memoirs," of the small appreciation of his services in the highest quarter. He had little need, however, of government patronage, having amassed a considerable fortune, the foundation of which was laid by a successful patent medicine, called the Pate Regnault, and which has yet a great sale as an excellent remedy for a sore throat.-Daily News. In Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, Mr. William Walker, the ancient bis torical engraver. Among the numerous works of excellence executed by the deceased artist, the most generally known are the engravings of the "Passing of the Reform Bill," the "Aberdeen Cabinet," and the "Literary Party at Sir Joshua Reynolds'."

One of his latest productions was 66 The Distinguished Men of Science," the engraving of which occupied him during six years, and cost him nearly 50001. before bringing any return.

Antolin Udaete, formerly agent de change on the Bolsa of Madrid, and one of the richest capitalists of Spain. When his will was opened on the day of the funeral, he was found to have named Pope Pius IX. as his heir. A communication from Madrid states that the fortune of the deceased amounts to six millions of francs, and that his relatives intend to oppose the will as a forgery. At an advanced age, Tchefik Pasha. A near relation of Fuad Pasha, he was closely allied with many Ottoman families of high rank; and, although holding liberal and progressive opinions, enjoyed a great religious reputation amongst true Mussulmans. In his long career he filled many important functions, commencing as chamberlain to Sultan Mahmoud. He was secretary to the late Sultan, Abdul Medjid; and, an intimate friend of Reschid Pasha, was a warm supporter of that eminent Vizier's projects of reform. He has since been, at different times, mustechar of the Minister of Marine, caimakam of the Grand Vizier, Minister of the Evcaf, and President of the Grand Council. Tchefik Pasha had the enviable character of being that rara avis in Turkish public affairs, a man of personal probity, and had accumulated no fortune. He received a pension of p. 12,000 a month from the Sultan; and of p. 10,000 a month from the Viceroy of Egypt, with reversion to his family, this latter being given in recognition of the signal services he had rendered at a critical moment in bringing about a reconciliation between Mehemet Ali of Egypt and his sovereign.-Levant Herald. At Petit Goyave, in the Isle of Hayti, aged 78, the ex-Emperor Solouque. He was born in 1789, in the house of a mulatto family, in the Isle of Hayti. Born a slave, he became free by the decree of 1790; and when but a boy, in 1803, took part in the insurrection of the negroes against the French. He served several generals as aide-de-camp, was made a captain in 1820, when he became a favourite of the President Boyer. President Herard promoted him, in 1844, to the rank of colonel; and Guerrier made him a general of Brigade. In 1846, he had just been promoted to be a general of division, when the President Roché died, and to his great astonishment he was chosen President. It would seem that his head was turned by his elevation, for he waged a terrible war against the mulattoes and against the townspeople, and he contrived to have himself chosen emperor, when he assumed the title of Faustin the First. He instituted the Order of St. Faustin, and created no fewer than 400 peers, of whom 4 were princes and 59 dukes. He sent to Paris to have a crown made for him, which was imitated from that of Napoleon I., and held a solemn coronation. He had countless squabbles with his nobles, and tried to conquer the republic of St. Domingo, but was defeated. He was a great admirer of Napoleon I., whom he endeavoured to imitate in every way, even to the minutia of his dress. He was, however, tyrannical, and was at length driven from his throne, in 1859, by Geffrard, who was elected president of the restored republic. Soulouque was permitted to retire with all his property and that of his family, and took up his residence in Jamaica, where he remained till allowed to return to his native island, where he died. Soulouque was fond of display and dress, and had a childish love of tinsel and tawdry finery. However, he led a quiet, retired life in Jamaica; and had evidently made a prudent provision for the wants of his exile. |
