THE LATE REV. DR. TATTERSHALL

When a good man dies, we too °fled discover, for the
first time, his value. If this is true abstractedly, it is
certainly so in the case of the rev. gentlenian of whose
career on earth we are about to attempt a humble me-
moir. We have had the Rev. Dr. Tattershall amongst
us for many years, labouring faithfully and unostentati-
ously as a minister; and it is only when we are deprived
of his talents and zeal, that we learn how much they have
been prized both by his friends, and by those in religion
and in politics opposed to him.
The late Or. Tattershall was the son of a Wesleyan
minister. lie was entered as a sizar at Queen's College,
Cambridge, and took the degree of B.A. in 1816, standing
amongst his clever competitors, Dr. Whewell, &c., as the
7th wrangler. Upon this part of his career an intimate
and rev. friend thus remarks :
" It was in 1814 that I first became acquainted with
Dr. Tattershall. He was then an undergraduate of
Queen's College, Cambridge. We frequently met at the
rooms of a mutual friend. Although very young, his clas-
sical and mathematical attainments were considerable ;
and great expectations were formed of his ultimate success,
both by men of his own College, and others who had the
happiness of his acquaintance. I remember on one occa-
sion, while breakfasting with that profound mathema-
tician, Dr. Milner, the Dean of Carlisle, and Master of
Queen's, that my late friend became the subject of con-
versation. The Dean, in his characteristic manner re-
marked, that he was greatly mistaken, if that lad did not
prove more than a match for most men of his year. Nor was
he much wrong in his anticipations ;: for in the January
examination of 1816 for his B. A. degree, he attained the
distinguished place of seventh wrangler, when competing
with et:Armen as Jacob of Caius, and Whewell of Trinity,
and some others scarcely less eminent,• and was made
Fellow of his College. Daring his undergraduatesbip,
at least, that part of it, in which I was resident in the
University,die was most regular in his attendance to all
the rules ofthe College, and bore the character, not only
of a moral, but of a religious young man. He never
shrunk from avowing his sentiments, while-he was never
offensively forward in making them known. From the
liveliness of his disposition, his good-humoured affability,
and his sterlinggood sense, be was a universal favorite
among his friends and companions.
"On leaving College, I lost sight of him until our
acquaintance was renewed on his coming to Liverpool.
It is well known with what ardour and enargy he entered
upon his charge at St. Matthews' in Key-street ; • how
soon his schools became among the largest in Liverpool,
and how attached and affectionate were the congregation
among whom he ministered; an attachment and affection
in no way diminished by• his removal to St. Augustine's,
where he closed his earthly career.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE
(BY EXPRESS.)

LONDON CORN EXCIIANGE.-YESTERDAIt

A change of wind and more settled weather has brought $
large arrival of foreign Wheat, Barley, Oats, and Beans, and
several vessels got in this morning, in addition to the reported
quantity, which caused buyers at this day's market to act with
more than ordinary Caution. The English supply of Wheat was
only moderate, the trade opened dull, and our millers bought
sparingly, but at the cose the stands were pretty well cleared
at a reduction of about 2s per quarter. Free foreign Is lower,
but at this decline there was a good demand for shipment to
Ireland, also for barrel Flour at a proportionate reduction.
English Barley 2s, foreign 2s to 3s, Malt Is lower. This large
arnval of foreign Oats has greatly depressed the trade; and
even at a reduction of Is per quarter Irish were neglected, and
foreign only in limited request, the feeling of the dealers and
consumers being that they shall shortly make their purchases
on still lower terms. Beans and Peas in fair consumptive de-
mand, without any change in. value.

The supply being more than the wants of the dealers, the
Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at a decline in the

The droves from the north comprised 2100 short-horns; from
the western and midland districts, 900 Herefords,. runts, De-

from Ireland, 90; and from Scotland

CASE OF DISTRESS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD.

Sert,—Will you, by kindly inserting these few lines;
call the attention of your benevolent readers to lhe' fol-
lowing case :—T. R., who supported himself, wife, and:
seven children, by the earnings of three horses, has, since
January, 1845, by a succession of reverses, been reduces
to the verge of destitution. The following is a summit,'
of his trials. viz., a very-severe fracture of his leg, the lose
of three horses in succession, a long and serious illness,-
and, lastly, a second a^cident, but no bones broken:
The heavy debts incurred unavoidably for forage, stable
rent, &c., have been added to by the seizure of his two
horses by one of his creditors, and their detention for
several days, till redeemed by a gentleman who providen-
tially became acquainted with the circumstances. T. R.
has now but one horse. It is-hoped that a sufficient sum
may be raised to purchase another horse, and to pay off
his debts; thus, as it were, setting him on his legs again,
and securing him, with the favour of God's providence,
from the workhouse. Nearly £lO9 will be required to
effect this, for which contributions will be thankfully re-
ceived at Mr. Perris's, Church-street, and at the office of
this paper, where inquiries as to, character, &c., will be
satisfactorily answered. H.
