Sutherland. In the December of the latter year he
was chosen for the Southern Division of Lancashire,
which he continued to represent down to his eleva-
tion to the peerage, in 1810. The death of this

large circle beyond that of his immediate fatnily.

suffering from an aggravated attack of paralysis
which almost deprived him of sensation, died on
Tuesday morning. Mr. Lyall was appointed to the
deanery of Canterbury in the latter pact of the year
1845. and during the ten years he has held the post
his unvarying kindness and Christian charity have
gained for him the respect and love of the inhabi-
tants of the tuetropolitical city, in the prosperity of
which he ever evinced a warm interest. Previous to
this appointment Dean Lyall held several livings in
different parts of the country, but more especially in
Suffolk ; he was the first archdeacon of Maidstone,
and during a brief period filled a canon's stall in
Canterbury. He was also private chaplain to the
late Archbishop of Canterbury when Bishop of London.

in the New-road, Brighton, where he has been re-
siding with his mother, Madame Sala, well known in
musical circles. The cause of Mr. Sala's death was
apoplexy.
