William Brown entered the Navy, 1 Jan. 1792, as Surgeon’s Servant, on board the Hind frigate, Capt. Hon. Alex. Inglis Cochrane, stationed off the coast of Scotland; and, in March, 1/93, joined the Edgar 74, Capts. Albemarle Bertie and Sir Chas. Hen.

At the close of Sir John Jervis’ victory, Mr. Brown was detached for some months into the Britannia 100 Capt. Edw. Marsh, for the purpose of escorting home the four Spanish prizes. He became attached, in Aug. 1799, to the Queen Charlotte 100, flagship of Lord Keith in the Mediterranean; was transferred, 2 March, 1800, to the Caroline 36, Capt. Wm.

​BROWN, Kt. K.H. (Retired Captain, 1842. f-p., 14; h-p., 38.)
Sir Samuel Brown, born in 1776, is eldest son of the late William Brown, Esq., of Borland, co. Galloway.
This officer entered the Navy, 8 June, 1795, as A.B., on board the Assistance 50, Capts. Hen. Mowat, John Okes Hardy, Robt. Hall, and Rich. Lee, in which ship he continued to serve, as Midshipman, Master’s Mate, and Acting-Lieutenant, on the Newfoundland and North Sea stations, until 1801. During that period, under Capt. Mowat, he witnessed the surrender, 28 Aug. 1796, of the French 36-gun frigate Elizabeth to the Topaze 36, one of a squadron commanded by Vice-Admiral Geo. Murray; and, in the summer of 1800, under Capt. Hall, he brought the Duke of Kent from Halifax to England. He was confirmed into the Irresistible 74, attached to the fleet in the Channel, 6 Nov. 1801; was next appointed, 5 July, 1803, to the Royal Sovereign 100, Capts. Rich. Curry and Pulteney Malcolm, one of whom he accompanied to the Mediterranean; there removed, 15 March, 1804, to the Kent 74, Capt. John Chambers White; and, on 30 Jan. 1805, joined, as First-Lieutenant, the Phoenix, of 42 guns and 245 men, Capt. Thos. Baker. On 10 Aug. following Mr. Brown was present in the brilliant action which rendered the French frigate La Didon, of 46 guns and 330 men, a prize to the Phoenix, after a furious action of three hours and a half, which cost the former a loss of 27 killed and 44 wounded, and the latter of 12 killed and 28 wounded; yet were six years suffered to roll away before he was awarded that promotion to which, as second in command on an occasion of such heroic gallantry, he was so pre-eminently entitled. After sharing, on 4 Nov. in the same year, in Sir Rich. John Strachan’s capture of the four French line-of-battle ships that had escaped from Trafalgar, he was transferred, with Capt. Baker, to the Didon, which ship had been added to the British Navy. He was subsequently appointed, 23 Aug. 1806, to the Imperieuse 38, Capts. Lord Cochrane and Alex. Skene, employed in the Channel; and, for short periods, 28 Dec. 1807, and 14 Nov. 1809, to the Flore 36, and Ulysses 44, the latter commanded by the Hon. Warwick Lake. He was ultimately advanced to the rank of Commander 1 Aug. 1811; and, on 18 May, 1842, unable to procure further promotion, he accepted the rank of Retired Captain. He was nominated a K.H. 13 Jan. 1835.
Sir Samuel Brown has obtained considerable celebrity by his introduction, besides many other useful inventions, of chain-cables, and suspension bridges and piers. Of the latter it may be sufficient to indicate, as standing monuments of his genius, the bridge across the river Tweed, which was commenced in 1819 and finished in 1820, – and the Pier at Brighton. He married, 14 Aug. 1822, Mary, daughter of John Home, Esq., Writer to the Signet, Edinburgh. Agents – Pellet and Newton.

Howe Bromley and Kenneth Mackenzie, appears, for four consecutive years, to have been in frequent and very hazardous conflict with the enemy’s flotilla and batteries between Ostend and Havre. During that period he also made a short trip to America. With Capts. Bromley, Chas. Worsley Boys, and others, Mr. Compton afterwards served on board the Solebay 32, and Statira 38; and in the latter ship he was present at the forcing, in Aug. 1809, of the passage between the batteries of Flushing and Cadsand, and the reduction, in Feb. 1810, of Guadeloupe.

Campbell Fowler and John Astle, of the barge and two cutters belonging to the Wellesley, had the happy effect, on the evening of 24 May following, of preserving that ship, then in the Boca Tigris, from a most formidable and well-planned attempt made on the part of the Chinese to destroy her by means of a flotilla of nearly 20 fire-vessels, the whole of which, although in many instances chained in couples, and some even three together, were towed clear, without doing the slightest injury. Since the attainment of his present rank, 19 Aug. 1842, Lord Wm. Compton – who, on 10 Oct. in ’the previous year, had further commanded the Wellesley’s boats at the reduction of Chinghae – has been unemployed.

John Conjuit, born 2 Nov. 1794, is descended, we believe, from John Conjuit, Esq., Master of the Mint at the commencement of the last century, whose memory is perpetuated by a monument in Westminster Abbey.
This officer entered the Navy, 6 Nov. 1809, as Midshipman, on board the Eagle 74, Capt. Chas. Rowley; while under whose command he subsequently assisted at the defence of Cadiz, and at the reduction of Fiumé, Ravenna, Trieste, and other places on the coasts of Italy, Istria, and Dalmatia. He was also frequently employed in batteries on shore; took part in many cutting-out expeditions; boarded and carried, on one occasion, with the Eagle’s cutter and only seven men under his orders, and in face of a heavy fire from a brass gun, swivels, and musketry, an enemy’s gun-boat, Le Courier with a crew of 25 men, commanded by a Lieutenant of the French navy; and was altogether two-and-twenty times personally engaged with the foe. During the six years immediately following the peace Mr. Conjuit, who passed his examination 23 Nov. 1815, further served, chiefly in the West Indies, on board the Liffey 50, Capt. John Hancock, Warrior 74, Rear-Admiral John Erskine Douglas, North Star 28, Capt. Thos. Coe, Royalist 18, Capt. Houston Stewart, Salisbury 50, Capt. John Mackellar, Briseis 10, Capt. Geo.

Robt. Henderson, Rochfort 80, flag-ship successively (in the Mediterranean) of Sir Thos. Fremantle and Sir Graham Moore, and Sybille 38, Capt. Joshua Ricketts Rowley. On 9 Oct. 1821, he was promoted to a Lieutenancy in the Tribune 36, Capt. Nesbit Josiah Willougnby; and being next appointed, 15 April, 1824, to the Coast Blockade, continued in that service, as a Supernumerary-Lieutenant of the Ramillies and Hyperion, Capts. Wm. M‘Culloch and Wm. Jas. Mingaye, until the receipt of his present appointment to the Coast Guard 16 March, 1831.
