HCR diary 8.6.1828 "called on Aders - a Mr Goldschmidt was with him, who took us to see some fine paintings on sale in Leicester Square, belonging to Signor Reghellini di Schio"

Possibly Adolphus Goldschmidt?

Goldschmidt Esq died at Paris / Adolphus Goldschmidt educated Harrow School, was shareholder in railway company in Paris 1837, was in Australia 1841 to 1853, died Paris 1876 (parliament.vic.gov.au). The bankruptcy in 1832 before the diary entry of 1833 above, casts some doubt on this possible identification. Goldschmidt at Aders was also possibly Isaac Lyon Goldsmid (DNB 1778-1859) whom Robinson dined with on 17.11.1844.
