tion against the batteries of Tamateva, on the coast of Madagascar, and to go from thence to expel the French from the Isle of Almerante, and some other places of minor importance; all of which was happily accomplished; so that by the middle of January, 1811, there did not remain to the French a slip of territory in either of the Indies, nor a ship on the Indian ocean. Capt. Rowley returned to England with Vice-Admiral Bertie's despatches, in which most honourable mention was made of his long and arduous services; and on his arrival he was appointed to the America, of 74 guns, in which he proceeded to the Mediterranean, and in 1814 he took an active part in the reduction of Genoa. On the 2nd of November, 1813, he had been rewarded with a patent of Baronetcy, for his eminent services on the Cape station. At the general promotion, December 4, in the same year, he received the honourable appointment of a Col. of Royal Marines. On the 4th of June, 1814, he was advanced to the rank of Rear-Admiral; and in January 1815, when the order of the Bath was extended into three classes, he was nominated a Knight Commander. He subsequently hoisted his flag on board the Impregnable, of 104 guns, and accompanied Lord Exmouth to the Mediterranean, where he remained but a short time, hostilities having ceased after the battle of Waterloo. Towards the latter end of 1818, Sir Josias Rowley succeeded Sir Benjamin Hallowell as Commander-in-chief on the Irish station, where he continued during the customary period of three years, with his flag in the Spencer, of 74 guns. In 1819, the corporation of the city of Cork presented him with its freedom in a silver box; and about the summer of 1821, he was chosen representative in Parliament for Kinsale, for which he sat until 1826. He became a ViceAdmiral in 1821, and Admiral in 1837; and he was made a Knight Grand Cross of the order of St. Michael and St. George in 1834. Sir Josias Rowley had latterly resided on his maternal estate in Ireland, where as a magistrate and private gentleman he was beloved and respected by all classes. He died un married, and the Baronetcy conferred upon him has become extinct.

He was born February 2nd, 1761. From the time of his leaving college, his attention has been chiefly directed to the cultivation of his favorite science; and the part he took in it will be evident from his numerous, and some of them splendid, publications; and from the flattering tribute which has been paid him by other eminent botanists, who have agreed to name several newly discovered plants after him. The Genus Lambertia, from New Holland; Hibiscus Lambertianus, discovered by Humboldt and Bonpland; Canni Lamberti ; Erica Lambertiana; Verbena Lamberti; Oxytropis Lamberti; Salix Lambertiana; and Acacia Lambertiana, may be mentioned as instances of the high respect which be attained in the botanical world, and will no doubt contribute to perpetuate it. He was one of the original members of the Linnean Society of London, founded in 1788, and incorporated in 1802, and was for many years Vice President; and he promoted the advance of his favourite science by several works on Natural History. Mr. Lambert's Herbarium is mentioned by Dr. Clarke, in the preface to his first volume of Travels, as one of the finest in Europe.

On quitting the laborious office of reporting, which he did on succeeding to some property on the death of his relative the Baroness de Montesquieu, he received a most gratifying token of the sense entertained as well of his labours as his character.

gratitude for the benefits which he had conferred upon the profession.

In St. James's-square, aged 75, the Right Hon. William Henry Vane, Duke of Cleveland (1833), Marquess of Cleveland (1827), third Earl of Darlington and Viscount Barnard (1754), Baron Barnard of Barnard Castle (1699), and Baron Raby of Raby Castle (1833), K.G.; Lord-Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the County, and Vice-Admiral of the coast of Durham, Colonel of the Durham Militia, &c. &c. His Grace was born on the 27th July, 1766, the only son of Henry, second Earl of Darlington, by Margaret, daughter of Robert Lowther, esq., and sister to James, 5th Earl of Lonsdale. His tutor was the Rev. William Lipscomb, late Rector of Welbury, near North Allerton (and father of the Bishop of Jamaica), who was also tutor to the present Duke and his brother Lord William Powlett, and is still living. Whilst still Viscount Barnard, he was returned to Parliament in 1789 for the borough of Totnes, and in 1790 for Winchelsea. When only 26, he succeeded his father as Earl of Darlington, on the 8th Sept. 1792; and in the same year he became Colonel of the Durham Militia. His first and chief ambition was to shine as a sportsman. He spared no expense in the splendour of his kennels and stables; and he stood first on the roll of masters of fox-hounds. Everything in Lord Darlington's stud was managed with order and method; his coverts and his fences were constantly watched, and some estimate may be made of the expense he was at in preserving foxes, by the single fact of his paying 3301. a-year to his own tenants for rent of coverts north of the River Tees. The Earl of Darlington was advanced to the title of Marquess of Cleveland, by patent dated Sept. 17, 1827, and raised to the dukedom by patent dated Jan. 14, 1833. This title was derived from his representation, through his grandmother the wife of the first Earl of Darlington, of the family of Fitzroy Duke

of Cleveland and Southampton, she being Lady Grace, daughter of Charles, the first Duke of Cleveland, one of the natural sons of Charles the Second, and coheir to her brother William, second and last Duke of that house. The Duke was elected a Knight of the Garter the 17th of April, 1839. His Grace was twice married. The first Countess of Darlington, to whom he was married on the 19th Sept. 1787, was his maternal cousin, Lady Katharine Margaret Powlett, second daughter and coheiress (with Mary Henrietta, Countess of Sandwich,) of Harry, sixth and last Duke of Bolton.

Her mother was Margaret, sister of James, first Earl of Lonsdale. After her death in 1807, the Earl married, July 27, 1813, Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Robert Russell, by whom he had no issue. He was elevated to the Dukedom in 1833, during the administration of Earl Grey. His Grace is said to have left 1,250,000., in the 3 per cent. consols, besides landed estates of immense value, and plate and jewels estimated at nearly a million.

Jolliffe, and continued member until the last general election.

At Paris, in his 74th year, the celebrated diplomatist Count Pozzo di Borgo, late Ambassador from Russia in London. The Pozzo family is honourably ranked among the ancient and haughty nobles of Corsica, and, for centuries inhabited a small castle called Montichi, in that island. In modern times, the race of Pozzo established themselves at the village Pozzo di Borgo, no great distance from Ajaccio. Charles Andreas Pozzo di Borgo was born in the island on the 8th of March, 1768, a few years before the annexation of Corsica with France. His early education was entrusted to the church. The shock with which the French Revolution electrified Europe was communicated to Corsica, and attended by the actual horrors of civil dissension. The little island was divided into two parties; the families of foreign extraction adopted the democratic principles of France; they advocated the theory of universal liberty; the natives of the soil sought to fix the independence of their country, and demanded the restoration of ancient Corsica. At the head of the Republican party stood the houses of Bonaparte, Azena, and Salicetti. The patriotic party were led on by Paoli and the youthful Pozzo di Borgo. From the commencement of the revolution, young Di Borgo took an active part in its proceedings. He was chosen to represent Ajaccio in the Legislative Assembly of France. He then became a member of the diplomatic committee, under the presidency of Brissot. Pozzo di Borgo did not remain long a deputy. He returned to Corsica, became again imbued with the spirit and feelings of his ancestors; and, in concert with Paoli, began to agitate the establishment of the national independence. The compatriots were denounced by the French party, and summoned to justify themselves at the Bar of the French Conven
