​DOLLING. (Lieut., 1841. f-p., 17; h-p., 2.)
Samuel Brooking Dolling, born 30 April, 1814, is son of Capt. Wm. Brooking Dolling, R.N. (1811), who died in 1843; nephew of Rear-Admiral Sam. Brooking, who died 22 April, 1834; and brother of Nicolas Lockyer Dolling, Esq., Assistant-Surgeon, R.N. (1841), now serving on board H.M.S. Viper.
This officer entered the Navy, 30 May, 1828, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Wellesley 74, Capt. Fred. Lewis Maitland, on the Mediterranean station; was transferred, 27 July, 1830, as Midshipman, to the Favorite 18, Capt. Joseph Harrison, off the coast of Africa; and returned to the Mediterranean in 1834, on board the Revenge 78, Capt. Wm. Elliott, Having passed his examination on 30 Dec. in the latter year, he was next appointed Mate, 2 Oct. 1836, of the Cornwallis 74, flag-ship off Lisbon of Sir Joshua Rowley – and 21 Oct. 1837, and 24 April, 1838, of his old ship the Favorite, Capt. Walter Croker, and of the Algerine 10, Lieut.-Commanders Wm. Sidney Thomas, Thos. Henry Mason, and John Currie Bynon, both on the East India station. During the late hostilities in China, Mr. Dolling was present at the first occupation of Chusan, and in the two attacks on Canton; on the latter of which occasions he was spoken of in the highest terms for his assistance at the destruction of a line of defence extending about two miles from the British factory. He was also, at the same period, mentioned for his co-operative conduct at the destruction of a fleet of more than 30 war-junks and fishing- vessels. After the ​reduction of the batteries at Amoy in Aug. 1841, he joined (having been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 8 of the previous June) the Blonde 42, Capt. Thos. Bourchier. On 10 March, 1842, he commanded the boats of that frigate, in conjunction with those of the Hyacinth under Capt. Geo. Goldsmith, at the destruction of 10 fire-vessels off Chinghae. He served afterwards on shore with a division of seamen in the hostilities against Tse-Kee – was employed at the taking of Chapoo and Woosung – succeeded Lieut. Crouch, who had been wounded, in command of the boats at Chin-Kiang-Foo – and finally, when commanding the Algerine, received the thanks of Sir Wm. Parker for his assistance in finishing the survey of the Tang-tse-Kiang. Since 26 Aug. 1844, Mr. Dolling has been employed as an Acting Agent for Mails.

​DONLEVY. (Lieut., 1827. f-p., 18; h-p., 19.)
George Marlay Donlevy is connected, paternally and maternally, with families of high distinction, being allied, among others, to those of Lord Kilmaine, Sir Rich. Annesley O’Donnell, Bart., and Sir Henry Cunningham Montgomery, Bart.
This officer entered the Navy, 17 April, 1810 (under the patronage of the late Sir H. C. Montgomery, Bart.), as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Norge 74, Capts. John Sprat Rainier, Wm. Waller, and Chas. Dashwood; with whom he successively served, on the North Sea, Mediterranean, and West India stations, part of the time as Midshipman, until Aug. 1815. On 14 Dec. 1814, he appears to have been officially reported for his distinguished conduct in the boats at the capture, on Lake Borgne, near New Orleans, of five American gun-vessels under Commodore Jones, which did not surrender until after a stern conflict, in which the British lost 17 men killed and 77 wounded. Mr. Donlevy – who next returned to the Mediterranean, on board the Erne 20, Capt. Rich. Spencer – passed his examination 18 April, 1816; between which period and the date of his promotion, 18 May, 1827, we find him employed on various stations, chiefly as Admiralty-Midshipman and Mate, in the Sparrowhawk 18, Capt. Fred. Wm. Burgoyne, Florida 24, Capt. Chas. Sibthorpe John Hawtayne, Wye 24, Capt. W. Willis, Vengeur 74, Capt. Fred. Lewis Maitland, Genoa 74, Capt. Sir Thos. Livingstone, Prince Regent yacht, Capt. Sir Mich. Seymour, Nimrod 20, Capt. Wm. Rochfort, and Victory 100, bearing the flag at Portsmouth of Sir Geo. Martin. In 1824 he threw up a Mate’s rations on board the latter ship, for the purpose of accompanying, as a Volunteer, the expedition then preparing against Algiers, whither he proceeded in the Goodwill, Lieut.-Commander Jas. Thome. On rejoining the Victory, we find him effecting the very creditable capture, in a boat belonging to one of that ship’s tenders, of a deeply-laden smuggler, having on board a crew of 15 men. He was promoted by Sir Geo. Martin, as above, to a hauling-down vacancy; and was subsequently employed for a year in the Coast Guard. In consequence of total, and, we believe, incurable deafness, he has been unable, since April, 1833, to procure further employment.
Lieut. Donlevy is married, and has issue an only daughter.

On next joining the Maidstone 32, Capt. Rich. Hussey Moubray, he sailed for the Mediterranean with despatches relative to the ratification of the treaty of Amiens; and, while on that station, he witnessed the capture, soon after the renewal of hostilities, of L’Arab national brig, of 8 guns. In Aug. 1803, he accompanied Capt.
