MR. WILLIAM BARRAUD.
Oct...

In his 40th year, Mr. William Barraud, animal painter.

The family of Mr. Barraud came from France at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes; his father held a responsible situation in the Custom-house, and his grandfather was a well-known chronometer-maker of Cornhill. His taste for painting was probably inherited from his maternal grandfather, an excellent miniature painter; but it was not fostered very early in life, for he was, on quitting school, introduced to a situation in the Customs, where, however, he continued but a short time, and then quitted it to follow the profession most in unison with his talents and feelings, under the guidance of Mr. Abraham Cooper, R.A. with whom he studied a considerable time. Without attaining to the highest rank in his peculiar department, that of an animal painter, or rather a painter of horses and dogs, for he chiefly confined his practice to these, he was always correct, and even elegant, in his style of work; while the subject pictures which he painted in conjunction with his brother Henry are far above mediocrity, both in conception and treatment. The two brothers had long been joint-exhibitors at the Royal Academy and the British Institution, and at the time when William was almost suddenly snatched away they had built and furnished a new study for themselves to labour in, and were about to throw all their energies into some pictures they had together planned to execute; but it was otherwise ordained.

His last illness was short, but his sufferings were intense; these he bore with the patience and resignation of one who ever possessed a well-regulated mind, and had lived a life of consistent charity. His loss will be severely felt by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, for he was upright and sincere, and, while unsparingly rigid himself, he was indulgent and considerate towards others.-Art Journal.

MR. JAMES SCOTT WALKER.

Aug. 21. At Liverpool, Mr. James Scott Walker, well known in that town from the long period that he had been connected with the local press.

In the earlier part of his life Mr. Walker was connected with the Liverpool Mercury, as its sub-editor, and the duties of that laborious office he executed with ability and discrimination. On leaving that establishment, he started a literary periodical of his own called the Lancashire Museum; and the varied powers and acquirements which he brought to the task, together with his skill in enlisting the services of able contributors, obtained for the periodical a circulation which was deemed wonderful in a town then notoriously neglectful of all local efforts of a literary character. Almost every number of The Museum was enlivened with some story, essay, anecdote, or gossiping article written by the facile pen of its editor; and some of those productions evinced imagination, humour, vigour of treatment, and ingenuity, not often surpassed by writers whose names are household words. poetic taste was among his literary endowments; and some of his poetical productions ranged far above mediocrity. In the course of his chequered life Mr. Walker had visited the West Indies and South America, and a fearful earthquake, which took place during his residence in the latter country formed the subject of his longest, most ambitious, and most successful poem.

A

After the abandonment of his local periodical, Mr. Walker was, for several years, the editor of a Liberal paper in Preston. About a dozen years ago he returned to Liverpool, and in the intervening period he acted as contributor and reporter to several local papers, but more especially to the Liverpool Standard. With politics, however, he rarely intermeddled during the whole of his last term of residence in the town.

Mr. Walker had not only a literary but a mechanical genius, and under favourable circumstances his constructive faculty might have been brought into fuller and more profitable play. In naval architecture he was an enthusiastic amateur, and he had executed many beautiful models of different descriptions of vessels. One of his favourites consisted of a design for a ship with a double keel, the object of this singular construction being to give the vessel greater steadiness in the water. This design, which we are told has been well spoken of by practical men, he at one time thought of patenting. Amongst his fellow-workers of the press he was esteemed for his kind and courteous manner; and, though he had his failings, which had inflicted on him their chastisement, they were regarded as the too common inheritance of our frail humanity. -Liverpool Mercury.

MR. GALE.

Sept. 8. By falling from a balloon in France, in his 50th year, Mr. Gale the aëronaut.

This person, who styled himself "Lieut. Gale," though his only pretence to that designation was his having served as inspector of the coast blockade in Ireland, was a native of London. Early in life he exhibited much aptitude for the dramatic profession, performing such parts at the Coburg, Astley's, and the Surrey theatres as were termed the juvenile characters, with occasionally the tyrant in the Eastern spectacles. With the late Andrew Ducrow, of Astley's Amphitheatre, he was a special favourite. He visited America shortly after the famed equestrian piece of "Mazeppa" came out at the Amphitheatre in 1831, and performed the hero, Mazeppa, for 200 nights at the Bowery Theatre, New York, by which he realised a handsome sum in salary and benefits. While there he became intimate with a tribe of Indians, with whose habits and manners he so completely identified himself, that when arrayed in their costume he was frequently taken for a native. He returned to England with a party of six and their chief, Ma Caust, who acquired much celebrity for some months at the Victoria theatre. A circumstance took place which placed the chief, Ma Caust, at the Old Bailey for a criminal offence, and Mr. Gale greatly interested himself in obtaining evidence to assist his Indian friend on the trial. The late Sir Augustus d'Este, son of the Duke of Sussex, who became acquainted with the Indian, took also a lively interest in the trial. The result was an acquittal, and shortly after Mr. Gale was appointed to a situation of inspector in the coast blockade service in the northern part of Ireland, which department he held for nearly seven years. He returned to England to obtain from his patron, Sir Augustus, a removal to a more congenial locality in England; but, failing in doing so, he declined returning to Ireland, and again embraced the stage at the City of London theatre. The altered state in which he found the dramatic profession after so long an absence from it, induced him to turn his thoughts to scientific purposes, and, having had a balloon manufactured at the Old Montpelier Grounds, Walworth, he made his first ascent at the Rosemary Branch Tavern early in the year 1848. From that period he had made a great number of ascents in all parts of the kingdom, and his last fatal ascent was the 114th. During his late French career he was accompanied by Mr. James Ellis, late of Cremorne Gardens, who made all arrangements till within a

short time, when he had to return to England on his own business. Gale's last ascent was made from the Hippodrome of Vincennes, at Bordeaux, with the "Royal Cremorne Balloon," seated (for the first time) on the back of a pony. He attempted to descend at a place named Anguilles. When the pony had been released from its slings, the peasants who held the ropes of the balloon, misunderstanding the directions given by the aeronaut, let go, and the balloon, having still sufficient gas in it to give an ascensional force after losing the weight of the beast, rose suddenly, and the anchor, which held by a tree, being loosened by the sudden motion, the shock upset the car. Gale, however, clung to the ropes, and pulled the string of the valve to cause a further escape of gas. The ascent of the balloon was then checked, and it was thought in consequence that he had succeeded in climbing up into the car. This, however, was not the case, as the next day the balloon was discovered lying on the ground some miles from the spot where the pony was liberated, and, on further search being made, the dead body of Lieutenant Gale was found in a wood with the limbs all broken. He has left a wife and seven children.

Mr.

He was most sanguine in all his undertakings, and rarely thought of the consequences of any speculation in which personal danger was to be apprehended. It is thought that his imperfect knowledge of the French language was the cause of the catastrophe.

His body was interred in the Protestant cemetery at Bordeaux.

MISS BIFFIN.

Oct. 2. At Liverpool, aged 66, Miss Sarah Biffin, who though born without hands or arms attained considerable eminence as a miniature painter. She was a native of East Quantoxhead, near Bridgewater. She was taught the rudiments of art by Mr. Dukes, to whom she bound herself by a written agreement; and, though she remained with him nearly sixteen years, she received at no time more than 57. per ann. In 1821 she received a medal from the Society of Arts for one of her pictures. Through the kindness of the late Earl of Morton, she received further instruction from Mr. Craig, and supported herself for many years by miniature painting. After settling in Liverpool, age grew upon her, and her efforts to support herself being ineffectual, a small annuity was purchased for her through the kind exertions of Mr. Richard Rathbone.
