Several small iron bridges in Shropshire, and many others all over the kingdom, besides the lock-gates on the Ellesmere and other canals.

At the present moment Hazledine's foundry is executing a very extensive work, namely, several pairs of iron lockgates for Newport in Monmouthshire, each pair weighing 120 tons, the largest ever executed.

In 1832, when the present Queen, then Princess Victoria, and her august mother, the Duchess of Kent, honoured the Earl of Liverpool with a visit at Pitchford-park, near Shrewsbury, Mr. Hazledine received, through the Earl of Liverpool, commands to wait upon them, and explain the principles and construction of the Menai suspension bridge-Hazledine's greatest work. The royal party expressed great satisfaction at the lucid and instructive manner in which the explanations were given, and the tact and shrewdness displayed in Mr. Hazledine's answers, Persons who were present described the interview as most interesting. Mr. Hazledine received a present as a token of approbation; and the Duchess of Kent, when she passed over the Menai Bridge, examined every part of it minutely, according to Mr. Hazledine's description, and even entered the caves in which the iron suspension cables are fixed.

He

This is a slight view of Mr. Hazledine's public works, and it gives a portrait of him as a practical man. There are other features, which we are unable to paint with the warmth and fidelity which they deserve. His strong affection for the members of his family rendered his fireside one of the most happy round which an English family ever gathered. was ever devising some simple means of increasing their enjoyments; and he attended personally to everything in which their comforts were involved. At that trying season, when the wheel of the Union coach locked into that of his gig on the Wyle Cop, and overthrew him and shattered his arm in several places, and he was carried home in a state which threw his affectionate wife into such agony as deprived her of life by a disorder arising from the grief she suffered from his illness-even in that accumulation of sorrows his presence of mind and affection. ate care never for a moment ceased, and whilst suffering extreme agony from the bone of Lis arm having to be again broken by the surgeon-even then he took upon himself the whole preparation for the funeral of his beloved wife, down to the minutest particulars, and what all his own sufferings could not wring from him, he gave way to with the utmost bit

terness when the dead body of her he so much loved was carried into his chamber that he might kiss it before it was for ever removed from his sight!

As a master he was kind and considerate to all employed under him; his workmen, if they conducted themselves well, became grey and died in his service.

A very short time before he was confined to bed by his last illness, a Nobleman, equally distinguished by his literary and legal talents, and filling one of the highest situations which a subject can occupy, arrived in the town, at a little before seven in the morning, and inquired at the Lion if Mr. Hazledine was likely to be up. "Oh yes," was the reply: "he passed here an hour and a half ago, on his way to the Foundry." "I regret that," said his Lordship, "for I wanted a few minutes' conversation with him, which I cannot now have; but tell him from me, that Lord inquired after him, and

is happy to hear he is so well. My belief is (added his Lordship) that William Hazledine is the first practical man in Euгоре."

His body was interred in a vault in St. Chad's churchyard, which he caused to constructed on the death of his youngest daughter; and in which the bodies of his wife and daughter are already deposited. The funeral was attended by the Mayor and Corporation, and a very large concourse of mourners.

The bust of the deceased, by Chantrey, an admirable likeness, will immediately be placed upon the monument, many years ago constructed by himself, in St. Chad's Church, as a companion to that of his friend, Mr. Simpson, who erected the masonry of the Caledonian Canal.

MR. T. B. JOHNSON. Dephze May 5. In London, Thomas Burgeland Johnson, formerly a printer in Liverpool.

He passed the greater part of his life in literary pursuits at Liverpool, where at length his prospects became blighted, and he removed to London in 1834. He was soon after afflicted with ill health, which continued to assail him till he expired, leaving a widow and a daughter, twentyone years of age, in considerable distress. Mr. Johnson was long distinguished as a writer on Field Sports, his principal work of this class being the "Sportsman's Encyclopedia," which is on an extensive plan, combining much original matter and amusing anecdote, with the classifica. tion of the various subjects treated upon. His portrait is prefixed to the work. His other works of the same nature are: The Shooter's Guide; The Complete

Sportsman; The Shooter's Companion; The Hunting Directory; The Gamekeeper's Directory; The Shooter's Preceptor.
