HEILBUTH, Ferdinand, a German painter, resident at Paris, is a native of Hamburg. At the commencement of his artiisitic career he excelled in painting costumes ; but after completing his training in the French capital, and in Borne, where he pursued his studies for several years, he turned his atten- tion with marked success to the pictorial representation of histori- cal events and incidents of social life. Among his principal works are : — " Paiestrina's Music Re- hearsal," 1857 ; " The Auto-da-F^,". 1861 ; " Tasso with both the Leo- noras;" and "Cardinals taking Exercise on the Pincian Hill," 1862 (this and the three preceding pictures are in the possession of private individuals at Hamburg) ; " The Pawnshop," 1861, for which a prize was awarded, and which is now in the Luxembourg Museum, at Paris; "The Absolution in St. Peter's at Rome," "The Cardinal's Ante-chamber," " The Confession " (exhibited at the Royal Academy, London, in 1871). "Spring," "On the Banks of the Seine," and " The Harvest of Love" (exhibited at Berlin in 1871), and "The Banks

of the Thames" (exhibited at Glas- gow in 1878). Highly prized also are his portraits in the style of Titian and Rembrandt. He was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour in 1861. When the war broke out between Prussia and France Heilbuth, who had French proclivites, withdrew to England, from whence he returned to Paris in 1872. In July, 1879, he received letters of grand naturalization.

By his energy Huron College was esta- blished for the education of the future clergy of the diocese. A few months afterwards the London Collegiate School, since named Hellmuth College, was erected. Meanwhile Dr. Hellmuth had been appointed successively Archdeacon and Dean of Huron. Finding that the boys* college (Hellmuth Col- lege) was a perfect success, he pro- ceeded to establish a similar coUe^ for ladies, which was opened m 1869. On Aug. 24, 1870, he was consecrated Coadjutor - BishoJ* of Huron, with the title of Bishop of Norfolk, in the Cathedral of St. Paul, London, Canada West.
