DIED.

Lately, at Tours, in France, aged 52, the Rev. ROBERT
TAYLOR, who made himself noto.ious as an infidel preacher
and writer. Robert was the youngest son of a respectable
ironmonger, who amassed considerable property, and sent his
son to Cambridge, where he gained honours; he obtained a
curacy, but preaching Deistical doctrines, was stripped of his
gown. Taylor 1-ctured and preac ed in coffee-shops, public
r oms, chapels, and, in fact, everywhere that he could collect
auditors, both in Lon:lon and the provinces. Bening the
mayoralty of Alderman Brown' he was committed to the
Compeer; there, in company with Carlisle, Miss Richards (better
known now as Mrs. Dorey. the party implicated in the Barber
and Fletcher forgeries) visited him ; an affection grew up be.
tween them, and Taylor gave the lady a promise of marriage;
subsequently Taylor was sentenced to two years' imprisonment
for blasphemy ; at the expiration of the sentence he married the
lady that is now his widow. He renounced, or professed to
renounce, his Deistical principles. Miss Richards brought an
action for breach of pr rinse of marriage, and recovered 1250
damages. This sum Taylor never paid; he retired to Tours,
where he practised as a surgeon, he being, as he himself stated,
a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, of London.
Last week, at Holyhead, Captain HUGH EVANS, for 24
years harbour-master of the above place, fur 36 years agent
to the Honourable Corporation of the Trinity House. projector
of a cords of signals between Holyhead and Liverpool iu 18og,

and agent to Lloyds, of London and Liverpool for 43 years It
does not often fall to our lot to notice the death of an individual
mare generally known and respected than Captain Evans. Being
himself a sailor, a man of unb unded benevolence, and of an
active turn of mind, his attention was particularly called to
sailors; and the shipping iatetest In general have greatly be-
nefitted by his exertons in their behalf. Carnarvon Bay,
which was yearly strewed with wrecks, and where the loss of
life was awful, first attracted his attention; and by his perse-
vering endeavours he succeeded, in 1809, in establishing that
highly-important and valuable light. the South Stac . He was
also the sole projector of another nearly as valuable light, the
Calf of Man. In his capacity of agent for Lloyds. Captain
Evans was always most anxious to render every assistance to
vessels in distress; and his own life has not been held valuable,
when he thought he could save others. Our limits will not
allow us to enter more largely into particulars—but among the
Poor and distressed in his neigbourhood his memory will long
be held in grateful veneration ; and while his unceasing (and,
we are pleased to think, successful) endeavours to place Holy-
head in its present position, as being likely to become the
principal point of communication betwe m England and Ireland,
wit', we hope, at a future time call forth a more lasting mark of
respect to his memory.
