Malling, and took the name. This caused him to resign his Fellowship, and fix his residence at his living of Eltham. Here, as a parochial minister, he gained the love and respect of his parishioners, by his care and improvement of the nume. rous charities in the parish, by his kindness and benevolence to the poor, and by social and hospitable intercourse with the gentlemen and wealthier inhabitants of that large village. Nothing could more feelingly mark the regard and estimation in which he was held than the jubilee that was given in the year 1833, being the fiftieth year of his Incumbency. In 1806, by the death of Dr. Dodson, he was instituted into the family living, the rectory of Hurst- Pierpoint, where, though not resident more than a few weeks in each year, he was by no means unmindful of the interests of his parishioners. Both in the pulpit and the reading desk his manner was clear, impressive, and energetic-his doctrine pure and apostolical.

At Repton Priory, Derbyshire, the Rev. John Heyrick Macaulay, Head Master of Repton School, eldest son of the late Rev. Aulay Macaulay, Vicar of Rothley, Leicestershire, and cousin to the Right Hon. T. Babington Macaulay. He was of Trinity college, Cambridge, B.A. 1821, M. A. 1825. Shortly after taking his first degree, he was elected head master of the Proprietary School at Plymouth; and, such was the confidence of the proprietors in his judgment and ability, that every thing was left to his uninterrupted management. The school, in consequence, enjoyed a high degree of prosperity and reputation. On the last vacancy in the mastership of Repton, Mr. Macaulay received that appointment, and, until his death, continued to conduct that establishment with equal assiduity and success. Mr. Macaulay was a deep and elegant scholar; he was critically versed in the philosophy of grammar, which he applied with the highest felicity to the interpretation of classical writers; and so great was his command of the ancient languages, that he has been frequently heard to cast extemporaneously newspaper advertise ments into elegant Greek and Latin

verse. His amenity and cheerfulness rendered him everywhere a welcome visitor, his warmth of heart and steadiness of friendship endeared him to a large circle of friends, as did his charity to the poor.

At the public examinations in Michaelmas term of that year he appeared in the first class list in Classics and in the second in Mathematics, and proceeded B.A. Nov. 2, 1838. "His friends, his college, and indeed the University in general, may be said to have sustained a great loss in the early death of this amiable young man; for he was a sound scholar, and one from whose accuracy and information, as well as diligence and love of letters, there was every probability that in due time much might have been expected indeed, the mildness of his disposition, his desire to oblige and be useful, and the general sauvity of his manners, endeared him to all his acquaintance, whilst his rectitude of principle and constant and unaffected piety, together with a zeal well-tempered with know. ledge and controlled by discretion, gave promise, had it pleased God to have spared him, of a life of great usefulness in the profession to which he had devoted himself. Mr. Balston had long been in a declining state, and when perfectly aware that his end was fast approaching, expressed a desire that he might be permitted to lie within the precincts of his college, a request most cheerfully complied with on the part of the President, whose high regard he possessed and was justly proud of. His remains were consequently brought to Oxford, his four

brothers and all the members of Magdalen then in the University following him to the grave."-(Oxford Herald.)

He was a man of high classical attainments and refined taste; but his nobler excellence was a truly Christian temper, which exemplified itself in numerous acts of benevolence towards his poor fellow-citizens. He was a friend of the late Sir R. C. Hoare, Bart. the historian of South Wiltshire, and some views of the stone monuments at Carnac in Britany, from sketches by Mr. Eden, are engraved in the Baronet's Hundred of Ambresbury, in illustration of the kindred monument of Stonehenge.
