​MONYPENNY. (Commander, 1841. f-p., 17; h-p., 7.)
William Backhouse Monypenny, born 13 Dec. 1808, is fourth son of the late Thos. Monypenny, Esq., by Catherine, daughter of Isaac Button, Esq., of Ospringe and Whitehills, co. Kent; and brother of the present Thos. Gybbon Monypenny, Esq., of Hole House, Rolvenden, a Magistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant for cos. Kent and Sussex, and late M.P. for Rye. His youngest brother, Robert Honywood, died a Captain in the 4th Infantry 8 March, 1839.
This officer entered the Navy, 29 April, 1823, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Ramillies 74, Capt. Edw. Brace, with whom, until Nov. 1824, he served on the Home and West India stations, part of the time as Midshipman of the Ganges 84. He was then for three years and a half employed in the Gannet 18, Capt. Fras. Brace, on the coast of Ireland, and also in the Mediterranean; where he further, from 1828 until 1830, served on board the Gloucester 74, Capt. Houston Stewart, and Pelican 18, Capt. Fras. Deane Hutcheson. Joining next, 9 Nov. 1831, in the capacity of Mate (he had passed his examination 4 July, 1829), the Aetna surveying-vessel, Capt. Edw. Belcher, he proceeded to the coast of Africa, and was afterwards, previously to his return to the Mediterranean, employed on the river Douro for the protection of British property during the hostilities between Pedro and Miguel. While in charge, in 1833, of one of the Aetna’s decked boats, manned with but 4 hands, he accidentally lost sight of the ship off the Straits of Gibraltar, but providentially succeeded in reaching Portsmouth in his flimsy tenement after a passage of 19 days, arriving there on 18 Sept. Towards the close of the same year he again sailed for the African coast in the Aetna, with Capt. Wm. Geo. Skyring. He continued in that vessel under the command of Lieut. Wm. Arlett and Capt. Alex. Thos. Emeric Vidal (10 months of the time as Acting-Lieutenant) until Oct. 1835; and on 30 Sept. 1837 (having further served as Mate, in the Channel, off Lisbon, in the Mediterranean, and at Plymouth, in the Pembroke 74, Capts. Sir Thos. Fellowes and Fairfax Moresby, and Donegal 78, Capts. Fras. ​Brace and John Drake) he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. His succeeding appointments were-3 Nov. 1837, as Additional, to the President 52, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Chas. Bayne Hodgson Ross in South America – and 16 June, 1838, as Senior, to the Sulphur surveying-vessel, commanded by his old Captain, Belcher. On his subsequent arrival in China from the Pacific, we find him assisting, in the early part of 1841, at the capture of Chuenpee, Tycocktow, and the Bogue; uniting, also, in an attack made by a squadron under Capt. Herbert on the enemy’s camp, fort, and ship Cambridge bearing the Chinese Admiral’s flag, at their position below Whampoa Reach, where 98 guns were in the whole destroyed; and participating in the operations against Canton. As a reward for his exertions he was promoted to the rank of Commander by commission dated 8 June, 1841. He left the Sulphur in the following Nov., and has since been on half-pay.

​LAMBERT. (Retired Commander, 1845. f-p., 11; h-p., 36.)
William Lambert was born in the early part of 1788, and died at the commencement of 1847.
This officer entered the Navy, 6 Feb. 1800, as A.B., on board the Furious gun-brig, Lieut-Commander Wm. Froth, with whom he served in the North Sea and Baltic until April, 1802. From Jan. 1803 until May, 1804, we find him employed as Fst.-cl. Vol. and Midshipman, in the Princess Charlotte 38, and Ruby and Galykheid 64’s, all commanded by Capt. Hon. Fras. Farington Gardner, on the Irish and North Sea stations. During the next three years he presents himself to our notice as again attached to the Princess Charlotte, commanded at first by Capt. Gardner, but afterwards by Capt. Geo. Tobin, under whom, besides being occasionally employed in escorting convoys, he saw a good deal of boat service on the coast of Cuba, and took part, as Master’s Mate, 5 Oct. 1805, in a severe action of an hour, near Tobago, with La Cyane of 26 and La Naïade of 16 guns, the former of which then surrendered.

​LANCASTER. (Lieut., 1805. f-p., 20; h-p., 31.)
Robert Daniell Lancaster was born 6 Oct. 1783 or 1784.
This officer entered the Navy, 22 Aug. 1796, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Duke 98, Capt. John Holloway, and was afterwards, until Sept. 1802, employed with the same Captain and with Capts. Sampson Edwards, Geo. Parker, Erasmus Gower, and Bridges Watkinson Taylor, chiefly as Midshipman, in the St. George 98, Santa Margarita 36, and Porcupine 22, on the Channel, Mediterranean, and West India stations. He next, in April, 1803, and Nov. 1804, joined the San Josef 110, bearing the flag off Brest of Sir Chas. Cotton, and Nimrod 18, Capt. Orde, attached to the force in the West Indies, where, on 26 Feb. 1805, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and appointed to the command of the Nelly schooner, in which vessel he was shortly afterwards sent home with despatches. His succeeding appointments were – 10 April, 1805, to the ​Malabar 50, Capts. Robt. Hall, John Ayscough, and Geo. Scott, stationed in the North Sea and West Indies – 16 Aug. 1806 and 27 Feb. 1809, to the command of the Phosphorus fire-brig, and Lyra Impress-tender, employed off Boulogne and at North Shields and Sheerness – in 1812 or 13, to the Basilisk 12, Capt. Geo. French, lying at Hamoaze – 21 June, 1814, and 27 Nov. 1818, to the command of the Landrail schooner and Serapis convalescent ship – and, lastly, 26 March, 1819, to the Ordinary at Plymouth, where he remained until April, 1822. While in the Malabar, Mr. Lancaster served, in the boats of that ship and the Wolf 18, at the destruction, on the coast of Cuba, 2 Jan. 1806, of the two French privateers Le Régulateur and Napoléon, of 5 guns each, and a crew united of 146 men, after a well-contested action of an hour and three-quarters. During his command of the Lyra he made suggestions to the Admiralty relative to the Impress service which caused a saving in one port alone of 3000l. per annum, and for which he obtained their Lordships’ thanks. On 12 July, 1814, being then in the Landrail, which vessel carried only 4 12-pounder carronades and 19 men, Mr. Lancaster had the misfortune to be captured by the American privateer-schooner Syren (mounting 1 long 18-pounder on a travelling-carriage, 4 long 6-pounders and 2 18-pounder carronades, with a crew of 75 men), at the end of a running fight of one hour and 10 minutes, and a close action, within pistol-shot, of 40 minutes, in all 2 hours. This strenuous and most gallant resistance on the part of the Landrail was the occasion of a loss to herself of 7 men wounded, and to her antagonist of 3 men killed and 15 wounded. Her brave commander was in consequence detained a captive in America until the conclusion of the war.
Mr. Lancaster is the Senior Lieutenant of 1805. His eldest son, John James Lancaster, Esq., M.D., is a Surgeon in the R.N. (1835). Agents – Hallett and Robinson.
