and writer. Robert was the youngest son of a respectahle
ironmonger. who amassed considerable property, and sent his
son to Cambridge, where he gained honours; he obtained a
curacy, but preaching Deist cal doctrines, was stripped of his
gown. Taylor 1 ctured and preac ed in coree-shops, public
r oms, chapels, and, in fact, everywhe e that he could collect
auditors, both in Lon,icn and the provinces. During the
mayoralty of Alderman Brown, he was committed to the
Compter ; therein company with Carlisle, Miss Richards (better
known now as Mrs. Dorcy. the party implicated in the Barber

Last week, at Holyhead, Captain HUGH EVANS, for 24
years harbour-toaster of the above place, fur 36 years agent
to the Honourable Corporation of the Trinity House. projector
of a corde of signals between Holyhead and Liverpool in 18119,
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
more 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 Merest in general have greatly be-
nefitted by his exert'ons in their behalf. Carnarvon Bay,
which was yearly strewed with wrecks, and where the loss of

iVe was awful, tirst attracted his attention; and by his per-e-
-vering endeavours he succeeded, in 1899. in establishing that
highly-important and valuable light, the South Stac . He was
also the sole projector of another nearly as vaAtable light, the
Calf of Man. In his capacity of sgent 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 ueigbourhood 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 n England and Ireland,
wit', we hope, at a future time call forth a more lasting mark of
respect to his memory.
