extent and accuracy of his knowledge in all departments.

Dr. Turner's first publication was a small treatise on the Atomic Theory. His Elements of Chemistry' has been for some years the text book used by almost all teachers. He was the author of several papers in scientific periodicals, and in the Transactions of the Royal Societies of Edinburgh and London.

Dr. Turner was a member of the established Church of England, and a strict observer of its ordinances; but his religion was perfectly free from bigotry or intolerance. An extraordinary amenity and benevolence were the characteristics of his disposition.

To gratify his admiring friends and pupils, his body was brought to the College, and thence accompanied by them on the 18th Feb. to the cemetery at Kensall Green.

REV. W. M. Heald. M. A. Jan..... Aged 70, the Rev. William Margetson Heald, M. A. late Vicar of Birstal, near Leeds.

Mr. Heald was born within two miles of the place in which he followed his ministerial labours for 38 years. He was a native of Dewsbury Moor, and fellow student with the Rev. Dr. Naylor, of Wakefield, at the Batley grammar school, at that time under the able management of the Rev. Mr. Hargreaves. Mr. Heald was primarily destined for the medical profession, and for that purpose was articled to a Mr. Floyd, of Leeds: he afterwards attended lectures in Edinburgh and in London, and was one of the class of the celebrated John Hunter during the last course of lectures given by that excellent lecturer. Mr. Heald then commenced practice as a surgeon and apothecary in Wakefield, but after a very short time he became so dissatisfied with the profession, that he determined to abandon it. He then went to Cambridge, where his friend Mr. Naylor was studying, and entered at Catharine Hall. He graduated B. A. 1794, M. A. 1798. Having entered holy orders, he obtained a curacy in the neighbourhood of Cambridge, which he held for some time, and also became tutor to some young men in the university. Shortly after this, he was appointed_curate of Birstal, on the death of the Rev. Mr. Ogden, to which place he removed with his pupils. Three years after, in 1800, upon the death of the incumbent, Mr. Heald obtained the vicarage, which he faithfully served to within a few months of his death. In the month of July last, he signified to the congregation his desire to retire more privately than the vicarage

duties would allow him, and having signified his desire to the Archbishop of York, (in whose gift is the living) his Grace, in the most handsome manner, immediately presented the living to W. M. Heald, jun. M. A., than whom no man more richly deserved it.

Amongst Mr. Heald's earliest pupils were the present Venerable Archdeacon Musgrave, Vicar of Halifax, and his brother the Rev. F. Musgrave, Fellow Trin. Coll. Cambridge.

During Mr. Heald's medical studies, and while he was in Edinburgh, he published a poem, "The Brunoniade," of considerable spirit, attacking the doctrine of Brown, who, at that period, was contending for the palm of pre-eminence with Cullen. Mr. Heald's other publications have been of a different nature, but all displaying a mind very highly polished and judiciously managed. In politics

Mr. Heald was a consistent Liberal, and was never deterred from freely and fearlessly avowing his principles. No man ever enjoyed more general respect in a parish of such extent and density, the population exceeding 25,000. As proof of this we may refer to the very handsome presents from both Churchmen and Dissenters so very recently presented to their beloved Vicar.

JOSEPH SABINE, ESQ. F. R. S. Jan. 24. In Mill-street, Hanoversquare, aged 67, Joseph Sabine, esq. F. R., L., and Z. SS. &c. &c.

This highly-talented man was educated for the bar, but we do not find that he was actually called.

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society Nov. 7, 1799. In 1808 he was appointed inspector-general of taxes, which office he held for twenty-six years, and when that office was abolished in 1835, the present government allowed him a compensation pension of 3501. per annum, seven of his colleagues having retired eighteen years before on 4007. Mr. Sabine was honorary secretary (we may say founder) of the Horticultural Society, treasurer and vice-president of the Zoological Society, and one of the council of the Royal and Linnean Societies, and many other scientific institutions. His management of the Horticultural Society was considered by a numerous party to have contributed to the enormous debt in which, some years ago, the Society was involved; which led to his retirement, though without any imputation upon his personal honesty. His interference in the management of the Zoological Society more recently led to serious dissen

sions; but his views were supported by a numerous body of friends.

His body was interred on the 1st Feb. in the cemetery at Kensall Green. The gentlemen who attended the funeral were, his nephew, Captain Browne; Captain Bowles, R. N.; Edward Barnard, esq.; Robert Brown, esq.; Dr. Beattie; Edward S. Hardisty, esq.; and Thomas Goode, esq.

The public is indebted to the persevering exertions and personal influence of Mr. Sabine, for the marble statue to the memory of Sir Joseph Banks, placed in the hall of the British Museum, and also for the monument erected to Philip Miller, in Chelsea churchyard.

ADM. SIR JOHN HARVEY, K. C.B. Feb. 17. At Upper Deal, Sir John Harvey, K.C.B., Admiral of the Blue. This officer was the second son of the late Captain John Harvey, who com manded the Brunswick, of 74 guns, in the memorable battle of the 1st of June, 1794.*

He entered the naval service in early life, and served, on the Newfoundland station, midshipman of the Rose frigate, commanded by his uncle the late Sir Henry Harvey, and subsequently on board other ships, in various parts of the world, until promoted from the Royal George, Admiral Barrington, to the rank of Lieutenant, 3d Nov. 1790. He was shortly afterwards appointed to the Shark sloop, commanded by Capt. the Hon. Arthur K. Legge: in Oct. 1791 he was appointed to the Nemesis, Capt. Alex. I. Ball, and actively employed on the Milford station, until the beginning of 1793: in February of that year he was, by the particular request of Capt. Sinclair, appointed his First Lieutenant in the Íphigenia frigate, and sailed in March to the West Indies, under the command of Sir Alan Gardner. By the following August the Iphigenia proceeded to Jamaica, to be under the orders of Commodore Ford; and when on that station, and in company with the Penelope, Capt. B. S. Rowley, she assisted, on the night of the 20th Nov. in the capture of the fine French frigate Inconstant.

In April 1794 he was appointed, by his father's friend, Commodore Ford, fifth lieutenant of the Europa, to take his chance of promotion: in that ship he saw much service on the coast of St. Domingo, and at the capture of Port-au-Prince. The numerous vacancies by death, from the very unhealthy state of the station

(the Iphigenia in particular having lost her Captain and all her officers, with the exception of the surgeon), occasioned his promotion to the rank of Commander on the 5th Sept. (two Captains, Roberts and Hills, having died on that day) and appointment to L'Actif brig; he sailed from Jamaica on the 2d Nov. under the orders of the St. Alban's, Captain Vashon, in company with the Chichester and homeward-bound trade, when, from the exceedingly leaky condition of L'Actif, and the rough state of the weather, she suddenly foundered, late in the evening of the 25th; with great difficulty the crew were saved by the boats of the St. Alban's, the evening being dark, with a heavy sea, After a tedious and tempestuous passage, and in a very distressed condition, from shortness of provisions, the St. Alban's reached Cork, having narrowly escaped being captured by a French fleet. his arrival in England, Captain Harvey found himself promoted, on the 16th Dec. 1794, to the rank of Post-Captain, in consequence of the distinguished conduct of his father in the battle of the 1st of June.

On

Capt. Harvey not being successful in his repeated applications for the command of a frigate, he was, by the request of his uncle Sir Henry Harvey, who was in command of a squadron, and whose flag was flying on board the Prince of Wales, 98. appointed to that ship 30th July, 1795: and he shared with his uncle the anxiety attending the hazardous expedition, in the winter season, to Quiberon Bay.

Sir Henry being appointed Commanderin-Chief of the Leeward Islands, reached Barbadoes 19th June, 1796. On the 12th Feb. 1797, Sir Henry sailed from Martinique with the squadron and the troops under the command of Sir Ralph Abercromby, to attack the island of Trinidad, where they arrived by the afternoon of the 16th. On the same night the Spanish squadron, commanded by a Rear- Admiral, of four sail of the line and one frigate, were burnt by the enemy, with the exception of one ship of the line, taken possession of by the boats of the British squadron: the island surrendered to the British forces on the 18th; Capt. Harvey was, on this occasion, selected by the Admiral to be the bearer of his dispatches, communicating the particulars of this important conquest, and arrived at the Admiralty on the 27th March.

Though urgent in his solicitations for employment, Capt. Harvey did not succeed until the 24th Sept. 1798, when he was appointed to the Southampton, of 32 guns, in which ship he proceeded to

the West Indies; cruized successfully against the enemy in those seas, and assisted at the capture of the Danish settlements. He quitted the Southampton, and returned to England, Aug. 1801, in command of the Amphitrite, and was shortly afterwards superseded by Capt. F. Warren.

In July 1804, Capt. Harvey was appointed to the Agamemnon, of 64 guns, which ship, at the close of the year, was one of the squadron under the command of Sir John Orde, off Cadiz, on which station he captured several valuable Spanish vessels, the proceeds of which became droits of Admiralty, though the Spaniards had declared war, and Captain Harvey had had orders from Sir John Orde to take, sink, burn and destroy, all Spanish vessels. On the 9th of April, 1805, the Agamemnon, in company with the squadron under Sir John Örde, was surprised while at anchor off Cadiz, for the purpose of refitting and victualling, by the sudden appearance of the Toulon fleet; on which occasion the Agamemnon was so expeditiously equipped and prepared for action, as to elicit the following testimonial::-"Mem. The Commanderin-Chief has great pleasure in returning his thanks to Capt. Harvey for the very officer-like manner in which his new main-yard was got on board and rigged for service. J. ORDE."

The Agamemnon subsequently joined the fleet under Sir Robert Calder, and on the 22d July, off Ferrol, bore a distinguished part in the battle with, and capture of, two sail of the line of the combined French and Spanish fleet. On the 22d August following, the Agamemnon was one of the ships under Admiral Cornwallis, when the French fleet escaped from his meditated attack in Bertheaume Bay.

In Sept. 1805 Capt. Harvey was removed from the Agamemnon to the Canada, 74 guns, and proceeded with the outward-bound trade to the Leeward Islands, where he was actively employed, until he returned to England in charge of the homeward-bound trade; the Canada, being in a defective state, was paid off in Dec. 1807.

In July 1808 Captain Harvey was appointed to the Leviathan, of 74 guns, and was employed a short time in the Channel; afterwards at Cadiz, and in the Me. diterranean, under Lord Collingwood. The Leviathan was one of the squadron, under Sir George Martin, detached by Lord Collingwood, in pursuit of three French ships of the line and a frigate, and succeeded in driving them on shore at Cette, two of which were burnt.

Captain Harvey left the Leviathan in March 1811, and took the command of the Royal Sovereign, 110 guns; he continued in the Mediterranean until October 1811; then returned, in consequence of ill health, to England, and quitted, in December following, the command of that ship.

Capt. Harvey was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral 4th Dec. 1813. He was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Leeward Islands, and arrived, with his flag on board the Antelope, 50 guns, at Barbadoes on the 22d March, 1816. In a violent and destructive hurricane, in Nov. 1817, the Antelope was, by the Rear-Admiral's judicious arrangement, saved from being wrecked at St. Lucia by timely proceeding to sea from that island. The Rear-Admiral returned to England, and struck his flag, March 1819. He was promoted to the rank of ViceAdmiral 27th May, 1825, and was nominated a Knight Commander of the Most Hon. Military Order of the Bath in June 1833; and on the 10th Jan. 1837 was advanced to the rank of Admiral of the Blue.

That Sir John Harvey was a zealous officer and good seaman is amply testified, by the highly flattering encomiums bestowed upon him by his superiors: the ships which he commanded were, on all occasions, well conducted, and kept in most efficient fighting order. His care

of the public stores was such as to merit the commendation of Lord Collingwood, Sir Alexander Cochrane, and other flagofficers under whom he served.

He has left a widow and one daughter, having married in 1797 his first cousin, the only daughter of William Wyborn Bradley, esq., of Sandwich.

MR. JAMES CERVETTO,

Feb. 5. Aged 90, Mr. James Cervetto, "the younger," formerly a celebrated violincellist.

He was the son of the elder James Cervetto, who was born in Italy in 1682, and came in 1738 to London, where he continued until 1783, and then died at the great age of 101. He first brought the violincello into favour in England, though his tone, in comparison with more modern performers, was raw and uninteresting. He was leader of the Drury-lane orchestra in the time of Garrick; and in consequence of his very prominent nose, the gods in the gallery used to call out "Play up, Nosey!" Hence the origin of a phrase not unfrequently heard at the theatre even to the present day.

The younger Cervetto, when quite a child, and hardly acquainted with the ga

mut, had a better tone on the violincello, and played what he was able to execute, in a manner much more chantante than his father: and, when arrived at manhood, his tone and expression were equal to those of the best tenor voices. He was a member of the Royal Society of Musicians for seventy-two years; and he attended the Philharmonic and other concerts (not as a performer) during the whole of last season. He inherited a good fortune from his father. He published some instrumental music of his own composition.

The vicarage yielding little more than 701. a year, Mr. Vaughan accepted last spring an invitation to the ministry of Park Chapel, Chelsea; but his loss at Crickhowel was so deeply felt, that his parishioners and friends voluntarily came forward with subscriptions to increase the stipend to 2501., on condition of his return.
