Elmes, Harvey Lonsdale, Esq., architect,

of Gordon-street, only son of James Elmes, Esq., Surveyor of the Port of London, 26th Nov., aged 38, at Jamaica. Mr. Elmes was the son of the late Surveyor of the Port of London his uncle is an eminent builder in the metropolis. He himself, though but a young man, was one of England's most accomplished architects. Those magnificent buildings, the Collegiate Institution, and St. George's Hall, at Liverpool, are from his designs. His fame had latterly spread far and wide. At the time of his lamented death, he

was engaged in various works-among others, in erecting mansions for Hugh Hornby, Esq., and Hardman Earle, Esq., near Woolton; and for the late Mayor of Liverpool, George Laurence, Esq., at New Brighton. "Few events, says the "Liverpool Chronicle," have excited more general regret. A brilliant genius has been for ever extinguished. Enduring monuments of his fine taste will live in the buildings we have named. His loss is a national one. A career so bright in its commencement must, had it been prolonged, have been glorious at its close." He had gone to Jamaica for the benefit of his health: his complaint was consumption. Mr. Elmes has left a widow and one child to deplore his irreparable loss. Prince Albert was so delighted with St. George's Hall, during his visit to Liverpool in the July of 1846, that he sent the architect a gold medal, as a mark of how he appreciated and esteemed the author of that noble edifice.

The death of this gentleman, by his own hand, under temporary insanity, occurred at his residence, Halkin-terrace, Belgrave-square, early on Monday morning, the 17th of Jan. For several days previous, Sir Henry's valet had noticed his master's depression of spirits, but, on Sunday, this seemed, in some measure, to have decreased. On that evening Sir Harry retired to rest between eleven and twelve, and, on the following morning, was found in his chamber, lifeless and weltering in his blood, his head shattered to atoms, and a small double-barrelled pistol lying close to his right hand. Sir Henry was eldest son of the late Sir Henry Paulet St. John, Bart., who, having married Jane, eldest daughter and coheir of Carew Mildmay, Esq, of Shawwood House, Hants, assumed the surname and arms of Mildmay, in pursuance of the testamentary injunction of Carew Hervey Mildmay, Esq, of Hale Grove, co. Somerset. Both paternally and maternally, the deceased Baronet derived from families of great antiquity; the St. Johns, descended from William de St. John, a distinguished companion in arms of William the Conquerer; and the Mildmays, tracing their pedigree to Hugo de Mildme, living A. D. 1147. Sir Henry, who succeeded his father in 1808, as fourth Baronet, married, first, in 1809, Charlotte, eldest daughter of the Hon. Bartholomew Bouverie, and, by her, who died the following year, had a son, Henry Bouverie Paulet, Captain in the Queen's Bays, who succeeds to the Baronetcy.

of Francis II., Emperor of Austria, by
Maria Theresa, daughter of Ferdinand
IV., King of Sicily. Her marriage to
Napoleon took place on the 2nd April,
1810 the most brilliant epoch in the
career of that illustrious soldier. Paris
was then the capital of an European
Empire. The spoils of all nations,
save one, were collected in her halls;
the Princes of all nations, save one,
formed the circle of the Imperial Court.
And yet, within four brief years, this
mighty power passed away, like a me-
