Obituary.

On the 7th October, at Sydney, the Rev. J. E. Tenison-Woods, geologist and naturalist, in his 47th year.

Home papers announce the death of Madame Lewald, the German novelist, at the age of 78. She began her career as a writer of fiction in 1841; and from that time until within a few years she was constantly active. In 1854 or 1855 she married Professor A. Stahr; and in 1861 she published six volumes of autobiography. Her realistic tendencies brought her into collision with the Countess Hahn Hahn, whose sentimental romances she ridiculed with considerable cleverness.
