Rev. John Merewether, D D Dean of Hereford, died at

the first attack gave little hope of his recovery. He was
made dean on the translation of the Hon. and Rev. B.
Grey to the see of this diocese, during Earl Grey's adminis-
tration. His zeal for the restoration of the cathedral was
most conspicuous, and his inventive powers to forward ever
public improvement was remarked upon by all classes. His
name, however, will ever be intimately associated with the
magnificent reparations of the cathedral church, over which
be exhi9ited an unceasing supervision. The establishment
of the Philosophical Society and of the Mechanics' Letitia.
