OCTOBER.

13. At Brighton, aged 75, Sir Charles Rowley, Bart. Admiral of the White, G. C.B., G. C.H., K. M.T. This officer was the fourth son of Vice-Admiral Sir Joshua Rowley, Bart., by Sarah, daughter of Bartholomew Burton, esq., of Petersham, Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England; and a grandson of Sir William Rowley, K.B. Admiral of the Fleet, Vice-Admiral of England, and a Lord of the Admiralty. He, Mr. Rowley, was made a Lieutenant in 1789, and was appointed acting Captain of the Hussar frigate in the summer of 1794.

He sub

sequently commanded the Lynx sloop, and captured numerous French merchant vessels, on the North American station. In March, 1796, being then acting Captain of the Cleopatra frigate, he captured

l'Aurore, a French privateer of ten guns. He attained post rank in 1795. When commanding l'Unité 36, he displayed great firmness during the general mutiny in 1797. He subsequently captured the French 18-gun corvette Découverte, the brig-privateer Brunette, of ten guns and eighty men, and several other armed vessels, on the Channel station. Captain Rowley left l'Unité, in consequence of bursting a blood-vessel; but after the lapse of a few months he was appointed to the Prince George 98, the flag-ship of his brother-in-law the late Admiral Sir Charles Cotton, Bart. In the spring of 1801 he was removed into the Boadicea frigate, and entrusted with the command of a light squadron employed in Quiberon Bay, where he greatly molested the enemy. In 1804 Capt. Rowley commanded the Ruby 64, successively employed in the North Sea and off Cadiz. Subsequently to his return from thence, he was stationed off the Scheldt, and, in Nov. 1805, was appointed to the Eagle 74, destined to the Mediterranean, which ship he joined at Spithead. She formed part of the squadron under Sir W. Sidney Smith, employed in disarming the coasts of Naples and Calabria in the summer of 1806. On the 11th May that year Capt. Rowley conducted the attack at the capture of the island of Capri; and he was afterwards severely injured by a shell, while employed on shore in the defence of Gaieta. The Eagle was attached to the grand armament sent against Antwerp in 1809; and part of her officers and crew were employed in the defence of Fort Matagorda, near Cadiz, in April, 1810. In Nov. 1811 she captured the French frigate Corceyre, pierced for 40 guns, and mounting 28. At this period Captain Rowley was senior officer in the Adriatic. His conduct at the capture of Fiume, July 3, 1813, was much distinguished; and he afterwards bore a conspicuous part in the operations against Trieste. He continued to serve in the Adriatic until the allies were masters of that sea. In April 1814 he attended Louis XVIII. from England to France. He was advanced to the rank of Rear-Admiral on the 4th June, 1814; and was nominated a Knight Commander of the Bath, Jan. 2, 1815; and in the same year received the order of Maria Theresa from the Emperor of Austria. Towards the close of the latter year he was appointed to the chief command in the river Medway. Sir Charles Rowley's next appointment was, in the autumn of

DEATHS. JAN.

1820, to be Commander-in-chief on the Jamaica station, then much infested with pirates. Immediately on those desperadoes attempting to insult the flag of Great Britain, this active officer took such effectual steps that many vessels were captured and destroyed by the cruisers under his orders. Of the survivors of their lawless crews, about thirty were sentenced to death, and executed at Port Royal. He returned home with his flag on board the Sybille 44, in May 1823; and was promoted to the rank of Vice- Admiral in May 1825. Sir Charles Rowley was nominated a Groom of the Bed Chamber to King William IV. Nov. 23, 1832; and appointed one of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, in Dec. 1834, which he continued to be until the following April. He was created a Baronet in 1836; and a good-service pension of 3007 was conferred upon him by the Admiralty, Sept. 1, 1837. He attained the full rank of Admiral, Nov. 23, 1841. On the 26th Dec. 1842, he was appointed to the chief command at Portsmouth; but was compelled to resign from debility. Sir Charles married in 1797 Elizabeth, youngest daughter of Adm. Sir Richard King, Bart., and by that lady, who died Jan. 11, 1838, had issue.

18. Aged 97, Jacques Dominic Cassini, Count Cassini, a distinguished astronomer. From 1671 to 1793, that is, from the foundation of the Paris Observatory till the period of the Revolution, it was occupied by the four Cassinis in succession. The last of these, the Count Cassini, the subject of this memoir, was for some years director of the Observatory, member of the Academy of Sciences, and subsequently of the Institute. In 1789 he made a present to the National Assembly of the great map of France, in order to facilitate the operation of dividing it into departments, in doing which he assisted. He was, however, driven out of office by the National Convention, at the time when he was pressing upon them the re-construction of the Observatory and the introduction of modern instruments. In 1804 the imperial government gave him the cross of the legion of honour; and when the Institute was converted into the Royal Academy, he was named a member, in 1816. Count Cassini was the author of some scientific treatises, as had been his ancestral predecessors. In the recent annual report of the Astronomical Society of London the following notice is taken of the death of this hereditary philosopher,

"Though the Count had retired from the pursuit of astronomy long before the formation of the Astronomical Society, and was not, therefore, one of our associates, it is, nevertheless, impossible to pass over in silence the extinction of this ancient hereditary race of astronomers. Though such an hereditary dynasty was not found very favourable to the interests of astronomy, as tending to perpetuate the ideas and methods of its founder in lieu of introducing acknowledged improvements from time to time, family groups of distinguished philosophers must always be objects of peculiar interest to the historical inquirer. Community of name and blood magnifies even the aggregate amounts of the successes of the Cassinis, the Bernouillis, the Lemonniers, the Maraldis, the Lalandes, and the Herschels."
