Eyles, Esq. Vice-Admiral of the White. Nov. 1, Capt. the Hon. Sir H. Duncan, R.N. C.B. K.C.H.-The naval career of Captain Duncan commenced in 1800, on board the Maidstone, 32 guns, commanded by Captain Ross Donnelly, in which he continued till the suspension of hostilities in 1801, when he removed with Captain Donnelly into the Narcissus, a new 32-gun frigate, in which he visited various ports in the Mediterranean and most of the Greek islands; and assisted at the evacuation of Egypt. In September, 1804, the Narcissus being or dered home, he exchanged into the Royal Sovereign, bearing the flag of Sir Rd. Bickerton, and was serving as Lieutenant of that ship when his father's death was communicated to him. On the event becoming known, Lord Nelson, then on board the Victory, addressed a letter of condolence to the subject of this notice, at the same time offering him the command of the Bittern, the ill state of health of Captain Corbett rendering it very improbable that he could retain that appointment. Captain Duncan consequently proceeded to Malta to join that ship; but finding on his arrival that Captain Corbett had so far recovered his health as to feel indis posed to give up the command, he returned to the fleet, as a passenger, in the Active, frigate, and served as a volunteer on board the Royal Sovereign, during Nelson's excursion to the coast of Egypt in quest of M, Villeneuve, whose ships had been dispersed in a heavy gale shortly after their departure from Toulon. Captain Duncan's commission as a Commander having been confirmed November 6, 1804, he returned home, and shortly after was appointed to the Minorca, a new brig of 18 guns, which vessel he commissioned at Chatham in 1805. He obtained post rank while serving under the orders of Lord Collingwood, on the Mediterranean station, January 18, 1806; but was not superseded in the command of the Minorca until the 19th of April following. In the following year he was appointed to the Porcupine, 24 guns, then recently launced at Plymouth, in which ship he sailed for the Me. diterranean with despatches and specie, the 10th of July, and joined Lord Collingwood off the Dardanelles, September 2, 1807. During the remainder of that year and the following, we find him most actively engaged in the Adriatic and Mediterranean, where the Porcupine and her boats captured and destroyed upwards of 40 vessels. Captain Duncan continued in the Porcupine till the 2nd of October, 1808, when he left her at Malta, and proceeded in the Spider, brig, to join the Mercury, 28 guns, at Messina, the Admiralty having appointed him, without application, to that frigate. After serving very actively and efficiently as senior officer on the coast of Sicily, Calabria, and Naples, he resumed his former station in the Adriatic, where the Mercury's boats, imitating those of the Porcupine, distinguished themselves by several gallant enterprises, judiciously planned by Capt. Duncan, and ably executed by the officers and men under his command. In April, 1809, Captain Duncan co-operated with the Austrian forces in obtaining possession of Capo d'Istria, a town near Trieste, during the course of which service the Amphion and Mercury were obliged to anchor on a lee shore in a gale of wind, and to destroy the signal posts, in order to prevent the enemy having a knowledge of their situation, and bringing guns against them from Venice. Subsequent to this event, the Mercury assisted at the attack of Pesaro and Cesenatico, the result of which was the destruction of the enemy's fortifications at the entrance of those harbours, the capture of 25 sail of merchantmen, and the seizure of a large quantity of hemp and iron, collected in the magazines on shore. The subsequent successes of the Mercury in the Adriatic, continuing to give renewed evidences of the activity, z al, and ability of Capt. Duncan, he was selected by Lord Collingwood to command a squadron employed in guarding Sicily from an invasion then threatened by the usuper of the Neapolitan throne: but the Mercury, on being surveyed, was found to be too defective for further active service, and declared to be even unfit to go home at that season of the year. Circumstances, however, rendering it necessary for all the effective ships on the station to be retained, Captain Daucan received orders to take charge of the trade then collecting at Malta, the whole of which he escorted in safety to the Downs, where he arrived, after a tempestuous passage, in the mouth of February, 1810. The Mercury was paid off at Woolwich shortly after her arrival; and in June following, Captain Duncan received an appointment to the Imperieu e, a fine 38 gun frigate, of which he assumed the command at Gibraltar, on the 22nd of September. In May, 1811, the Imperieuse and Resistance were detached to Algiers in quest of two French frigates, but not meeting them. Captain Duncan was obliged to content himself with obtaining the release of a Cephalonian brig, which had been carried into Tripoli by an Algerine cruiser. He was afterwards sent on two short cruises, under the orders of Captains Blackwood and Dundas, during which he assisted at the capture of 10 merchant vessels. With the exception of those three trips, he was constantly attached to the in-shore squadron of Toulon for upwards of nine months, à service of the most irksome nature to an officer of his enterprising spirit. In July, Sir E. Pellew, who had recently succeeded Sir C. Cotton in the chief command of the Mediterranean fleet, relieved Capt. Duucan from his mortifying situation, by sending him to Naples on a special service, for the able execution of which he received that officer's particular thanks. On the 11th of October, 1811, being the fourteenth anniversary of Lord Duncan's victory, his son commenced a series of active operations in the Imperieuse, by attacking three of the enemy's gun-vessels, each carrying an 18pounder and 30 men, moored under the walls of a strong fort, near to the town of Bossitano, in the Gulf of Salerno, which terminated in the destruction both of the fort and gun boats. The Imperieuse, on this occasion, had her fore-topsail yard shot away, and sustained a loss of three men killed and wounded. On the 19th and 21st of the same month, the boats of the Imperieuse, assisted by those of the Thames, frigate, under cover of both ships anchored close to the shore for their support, captured ten armed polacres laden with oil, which they brought off from the beach near Palinuro, on the coast of Calabria. The above capture led to one of still greater importance. The following is Captain Duncan's official r port to Rear-Admiral Freemantle, of this achievement, dated at Melazzo, in Sicily, November 7, 1811: "On the 21st ult, the Imperieuse and Thames discovered ten of the enemy's gun boats in the port of Palinuro, with a number of merchants" vessels, and a quantity of spars intended for the equipment of the Neapolitan navy, hauled up on the beach; but from the strength and situation of the harbour, I did not think the force I then had sufficient to attack it with a prospect of complete success; I therefore sent the Thames to Sicily to request the assistance of a detichment of soldiers, and on the 28th she rejoined me with 250 of the 62nd regiment, under Major Dailey, but unfortunately at the commencement of a south-west gale, which precluded all possibility of landing till the evening of the 1st inst., when the troops, together with the marines of both ships under Lieut. Pipon, and a detachment of seamen under Lieut. Travers, the whole commanded by Captain Napier, were disembarked from the Thames at the back of the harbour, and immediately ascended and carried the heights in a very gallant style, under a heavy fire from the enemy, who were assembled in force to oppose them, and who soon after dark endeavoured to retake the r position, but one volley obliged them instantly to retire. The Imperieuse had, in the mean time, been endeavouring to occupy the attention of the gun-boats and battery in front, but the light and baffling winds prevented our getting any nearer than long range during the evening. Next morning, finding that nothing could be done on the land side against the battery and a strong tower that protected the vessels on the beach, and within pistol-shot of which the gunboats were moored, I ordered the Thames to close, and having directed Captain Napier to return on board her, we bore up at the com. mencement of the sea-breeze, and running along the line of gun-boats within half-musket shot, obliged them almost instantly to surrender. Two were sunk. "We then anchored close to the fort, which, in about fifteen minutes, was completely si lenced; and in a quarter of an hour more the colours were struck to his Majesty's ships, and it was instantly taken possession of by Lieut. Travers, who, on seeing us stand in, had most gallantly pushed down the hill with a party of seamen and marines, and was waiting almost under the walls of the fort, ready to take ad. vantage of any superiority the ships might have over it. The guns, 24-pounders, were then thrown into the sea, the gun-boats secured, and the crews of both ships sent to launch the vessels and spars, which could not be completed till afternoon next day, when the troops, who had all this time remained in undisputed possession of the heights, were re-embarked, the marines withdrawn from the tower, which was completely blown up, together with two batteries, and a signal tower on the hill, the ships and prizes putting to sea with the land-breeze. Caraccioli, captain of a frigate, commanded the division of gun-boats, and General Pignatelli Cercaro, the land forces, which consisted latterly of about 700 men, including peasantry. ** "Enclosed is a list of the vessels taken and destroyed, and a return of the killed and wounded; among the former I have to regret Lieut. Kay, of the 62nd regiment, and Lieut. Pipon, Royal Marines, of the Imperieuse." Captain Duncan continued actively employed till the defects of the Imperieuse obliged him to return to Port Mahon, where she was hove down and new coppered. Whilst there he received an appointment to the Resistance, 38, and was at the same time offered the Undaunted, another beautiful frigate of the same class, should he prefer her to the other. The following gratifying characteristic epistle from his crew, however, induced him to continue in the command of the Imperieuse : "Sir,-Being informed you are going to lave us, we have taken the liberty, at the unanimous request of all hands, to return you our most grateful thanks for your continued goodness and indulgence to us since we have had the happiness of being under your command. Your continued attention to our comforts is more than we ever experienced in any ship, and more than we posably can do with any other Captainfrom gratitude for your past goodness to us, we humbly hope our best services will still be exerted under your command, and hope you will not lave us. Every one is praying for your continuance with us. We humbly beg to say that we will fight and spell the last drop of our blood under your command, more willingly than any other ship's company up here will do, and only wish we had the oppertunity of convincing you by the capture of any two Frinch frigates that we might be lucky enough to fall in with, and in as short a time and as much to your satisfaction, as any other frigate posably could do-for in fighting under your command we fight under a Captain to whom we owe eternal gratitude, and to whom we have the strongest attachment. We humbly beg pardon for the liberty we have taken, and remains with the greatest respect and duty, Sir, your very humble servants, (Signed) "THE SHIP'S COMPANY OF THE IMPERIEUSE.' Captain Duncan was now entrusted with the command of a squadron consisting of three frigates and two brigs, employed watching the Neapolitan marine. In the performance of this and similar important duties, which called into full operation his active and enterprising mind, Captain Duncan continued until his return with the Imperieuse to England about the middle of July, 1814. Immediately on his arrival he was appointed to the Glasgow, a new frigate, mounting 50 guns, in which he conveyed Viscount Melville from Portsmouth to Plymouth, and then cruised between Scilly and Cape Finisterre until the conclusion of the war with America. On the escape of Buonaparte from Elba, the Glasgow was placed under the orders of Admiral Lord Keith; and after a short cruise on the coast of La Vendée, Captain Duncan was nominated by the Admiralty to the command of a squadron, intended at first to be employed between Capes Finisterre and St. Vincent, but ultimately sent to cruise across the Bay of Biscay, in order to intercept the fugitive. Hearing at length of Napoleon's surrender to the Bellerophon, and observing the royal colours displayed at Brest, Captain Duncan put into that port, where he remained four days, and then returned to Plymouth. The Glasgow being paid off at Chatham the 1st Sept. following, and Great Britain being then at peace with all the world, Capt. Duncan did not attempt to obtain further employment until June, 1918, when he was appointed to the Liffey, of 50 guns, in which ship he conveyed Field-Marshal Lord Beresford from Portsmouth to Lisbon, and then proceeded on an anti-piratical cruise round the West India Islands. After touching at Port Royal and the Havannah, Captain Duncan returned to Spithead, and in the autumn of 1819 we find him attending the Prince Regent during his aquatic excursion in that neighbourhood. Whilst thus employed, the Liffey had the honour of hoisting the royal standard, the Prince having condescended to visit her, at the same time paying Captain Duncan the flattering compliment of saying that he did so "be. cause he had never seen a ship that pleased him so much before." The Liffey subsequently conveyed Sir Chas, Bagot, his Majesty's Ambassador to St. Petersburg, from North Yarmouth to Cronstadt; and on her return from thence was despatched, in company with the Active, frigate, under scaled orders to Naples, where she continued from the 6th of October, 1820, until the end of February, 1821. Captain Duncan was next sent to Lisbon on secret service of a highly important nature; and whilst there he received the thanks of the Cortes for his exertions in subduing a fire which had broken out in one of the public buildings. In August and September, 1821, we again find the Liffey attending the King, whom she accompanied, first to Ireland and afterwards to Calis. On her return from the latter service she was ordered to be paid off at Portsmouth, and Captain Duncan had not since been afloat. In 1815, on the augmentation of the Order of the Bath, Captain Dancan was appointed a Companion, and in December last he received the honour of Knight Commander of the Guelphic Order.

Nov. 17, of apoplexy, after a few hours' illness, Lieut.-Col. James Tod, of the Hon. E. I. C. S.— As the annalist of Rajpootana, he has left to the literary world, interested in these subjects, a noble memorial of his services in the land of his adoption, as he always termed it; while his indefatigable spirit of research, and his zeal to benefit the people for whom he laboured, are to be traced in every line of his work. He passed twenty-two years of his life in India, and from the period of his return in 1823, his time, fortune, and health, were devoted to literary pursuits. Indeed, to his ardent and unremitting exertions, whenever he was not actually disabled by suffering, must be ascribed the fatal attack which terminated his existence in the vigour of life. He was seized with apoplexy on the morning of Monday the 16th,-the anniversary of his marriage, while transacting business at his bankers, (Messrs. Robarts and Co.,) and after the first fifteen minutes, he lay speechless aud without consciousness for seven-and-twenty hours, and expired on the following afternoon. He had latterly passed twelve months abroad, in the hope of conquering a complaint in the chest, and returned to England only on the 3rd of September. During the last winter, in Rome, he was daily occupied on a work to be entitled "Travels in Western India;" being the result of observations in a journey he made to the Peninsula of Guzerat just before he finally quitted the country. With the exception of some few notes, for which he required his books of reference, the manuscript is complete; the concluding chapters having been written in October, while staying with his mother in Hampshire. He subsequently visited two other friends, and from the very marked im provement in his appearance and feelings during this six weeks' excursion, the most sanguine hopes were indulged of his entire restoration to health. He arrived in town on Saturday the 14th ult., full of eager expectation of being settled in a residence recently purchased, and immediately putting his work to press. This will now be done as speedily as circumstances may admit of, the engravings not being yet ready. To those who knew Colonel Tod in private life, all eulogy is unnecessary, though no language could be too elevated to pourtray the noble and generous sentiments which animated him. Few, even on a short acquaintance, could fail to discover qualities equally attractive and attaching, united with that uncompromis ing independence of character, without which there can be no true greatness. The shock of his death will be deeply felt by many, and sympathized in by all to whom he was even casually known. He died at the age of 53. METEOROLOGICAL REGISTER, KEPT AT THE OBSERVATORY OF CAPT.
