his examination, being complimented by the commissioner. After this he was engaged by Mr. Osbaldiston, subsequently by Ducrow, at whose theatre he took a benefit. In 1834 he took the Surrey, which proved to him a mine of wealth. By Poll and my Partner Joe, he cleared 4,0007. in one season.

Mr. Davidge's powers as an actor were limited. He excelled in testy and imbecile old men. He was twice married. By his first wife he had a daughter who, it is said, died of grief at his absence (he was at Liverpool at the time). By the second, late Miss Parker, he had no issue.

On the 8th Feb. his body was conveyed to its final resting-place at the South London Cemetery, Norwood, and deposited in a vault which had been constructed some time since by direction of the deceased. The hearse was followed by four mourning coaches, the first containing Mr. T. P. Cooke and Mr. J. P. Wilkinson (the executors), Mr. Willis Jones (the partner), and Mr. R. Laurence (the treasurer); and in the others were Mr. Nash, Mr. P. Bedford, Mr. G. Stansbury, Mr. Honner, Mr. Bunn, and Mr. Stamp; Mr. Marsden, and several other gentlemen, friends and relatives. After the funeral service, Handel's anthem, "When the ear heard him," was beautifully given by Messrs. G. Stansbury, P. Bedford, Green, Crouch, Perring, Lloyd, Miss Jackson, &c.

Mr. Davidge is supposed to have died worth 27,0007. His will contains numerous legacies. Messrs. T. P. Cooke and J. P. Wilkinson are his executors; to the former he gives 251., to the latter 507. Then come the following legacies: Mr. W. Smith, (Surrey Theatre) 19 guineas; J. T. Haines, esq. (author and actor), 19 guineas; J. M. Jolly, esq.

The Surrey will for the future be conducted solely by Mr. Willis Jones, for the benefit of the widow and himself.

CAPT. E. W. CARTWRIGHT, Feb. 10. At Malta, aged 32, Capt. Edmund William Cartwright, of the 23d regiment Bombay Native Infantry.

This much lamented young officer was the eldest son of the late Rev. Edmund Cartwright, Rector of Earnley, Sussex; and was the representative of an ancient Nottinghamshire family. His grandfather was the Rev. Dr. Cartwright, the inventor of the power loom, and author of other ingenious mechanical discoveries.* At the age of 16, he entered into the service of the East India Company. At 19 he was appointed adjutant, and afterwards was placed on the staff of Sir Thomas Bradford, then commanderin-chief at Bombay. In 1836 he returned to England for the recovery of his health. On his voyage home, he and three other gentlemen suffered shipwreck on the S.E. coast of Arabia, and were imprisoned by the natives, but were afterwards allowed to proceed in an open boat to Maculloh, where they procured means of paying their ransom.

Escaped from this disaster, Capt., then Lieutenant, Cartwright took the remainder of his route homewards by Cairo

*The Rev. Edmund Cartwright, Capt. Cartwright's father, was the author of the History of the Rape of Bramber, and a biographical notice of him will be found in the Obituary of this Magazine for April 1833, p. 374. A notice of Dr. Cartwright will be found in the Obituary of the number for November 1823; and a notice of Major Cartwright, Capt. Cartwright's great uncle, in that for November 1824.

and Malta. In March 1839, his health, though greatly improved, being still delicate, he re-embarked for India. His regiment was then in Beloochistan, where he joined it without delay, and took an active part in the hostilities against the Belooches. Capt. Watkins's despatch of Nov. 1, 1840, makes honourable mention of Capt. Cartwright's services in the defence of Dadur: and by his recommen. dation he was appointed to the command of the Poonah Light Horse at that station. He also held the post of assistant political agent. But the fatigues incidental to these duties, together with the injurious effects of the climate, at length overpowered his naturally active frame, and good constitution. He had a severe attack of the fever of the country, and on the 31st of October last, he resigned his appointments, in the hope of being again benefited by a visit to his native land. But he grew much worse on his passage, and on reaching Malta, on the 29th of January, it was found to be absolutely necessary to urge his remaining there. It was then, however, too late to save him. He died Feb. 10 in the Lazaretto at Valetta, and is buried there.

Capt. Cartwright was a man not less. endued with every kindly virtue, than with the characteristic courage of his profession, and his friends and family feel acutely the great loss which they have sustained by his death. Two brothers survive him: George Cartwright, esq. R.N. now residing near Lyme in Dorsetshire; and John, a mate in H.M.S. Cambridge, on the Gibraltar station.
