​WOODRIFF. (Commander, 1848. f-p., 22; h-p., 23.)
John Robert Woodriff is brother of Commander Dan. Jas. Woodriff, R.N.
This officer entered the Navy, 29 Oct. 1802, as Midshipman, on board the Calcutta armée en flûte, commanded by his father, Capt. Dan. Woodriff under whom he sailed with convicts for Port Philip, and was present at the founding of the settlement at Hobart Town. On his return to England, after having circumnavigated the globe, he was received, in July, 1805, on board the Aurora 28, Capts. John Wentworth Loring and Hon. Geo. Elliot; in which frigate he cruized for a time off the Western Islands and then visited Bermuda and Gibraltar. At the latter place he removed, 22 Oct. in the year ​last mentioned, to the Donegal 74, Capt. Pulteney Malcolm. In her he assisted at the capture, a few days afterwards, of El Rayo, one of the ships recently defeated at Trafalgar. He was sent with others on board the prize and remained in her until she was wrecked near San Lucar, on which occasion those who were not drowned were taken prisoners. In the course of 1806 (he had returned home from Gibraltar in the Colossus 74, Capt. Jas. Nicoll Morris) he joined in succession the Glory 98 and Sampson and Diadem 64’s, bearing each the flag of Rear-Admiral Chas. Stirling. While in the Diadem in the Rio de la Plata, whither he had proceeded in the Sampson (the Glory had been stationed in the Channel), Mr. Woodriff served on shore, and was the very first person that landed, at the storming of Monte Video in Feb. 1807. During Lieut.-General Whitelocke’s unfortunate attack upon Buenos Ayres he was attached with 2 3-pounders to the brigade of seamen under Capt. Josias Rowley of the Raisonnable 64. He was subsequently employed under the flag of Vice-Admiral Albemarle Bertie at the Cape of Good Hope and off the Isle of France as Midshipman, Master’s Mate, and Acting-Lieutenant in the Leopard 50; in which ship he made a voyage also to Bombay. While off the Isle of France he was sent in charge, in 1809, of a slave-ship to the Cape and suffered much on the passage from the want of provisions and water. On 26 April, 1811, he was confirmed to the rank of Lieutenant (he had been acting as such) in the St. Albans 64, Capts. Edw. Brace, Grant, and John Ferris Devonshire; and in the same year he was actively employed, in charge of a gun-boat. No. 4, at the defence of Cadiz; where, in rowing guard, he made prize of two French boats. From Sept. 1812 until Feb. 1813, and from June in the latter year until Aug. 1814, he served in the Channel and again at the Cape of Good Hope in the Savage 16, Capt. Wm. Bissell, and Laurel 38, Capt. Hon. Granville Leveson Proby; and from 4 Nov. 1836 until rewarded for his services with the rank he now holds 1 Jan. 1848, he had charge of a station in the Coast Guard.

O come, and let us all with one accord, Lift up our cheerful voice, and bless the Lord; ​Let us, in anthems bless His holy Name, Yea let us laud and magnify the same.
Let universal nature ever raise A cheerful voice to give him thanks and praise; Let us, and all His saints, His glory sing, Who is our blessed Saviour, Lord, and King.
For by His Word the Heav'n and earth were made, The earth's foundation also firmly laid; All things were done at His Divine command, And shall throughout all ages surely stand.
Therefore let all, in Heav'n and earth agree To sing His praise in perfect unity; Yea, let His servants all, with one accord, With joyful hallelujahs praise the Lord.

HYMN 81.
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me; Still all my song shall be— "Nearer my God, to Thee,—Nearer to Thee."
Though like a wanderer the sun goes down, Darkness comes over me—my rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'll be Nearer, my God, to Thee,—Nearer to Thee.
Then let the way appear leading to Heav'n, All that Thou sendest me in mercy given, Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee,—Nearer to Thee.
Then with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise, Out of my secret griefs, altars I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee,—Nearer to Thee.
Or if on joyful wing cleaving the sky, Sun, Moon, and Stars forgot, upwards I'll fly, Still all my song shall be— "Nearer, my God, to Thee,—Nearer to Thee."

O'er the realms of pagan darkness Let the eye of pity gaze; See the kindreds of the people Lost in sin's bewild'ring maze; Darkness brooding, On the face of all the earth.
Light of them that sit in darkness! Rise and shine; Thy blessings bring; Light to lighten all the Gentiles! Rise, with healing on Thy wing; To Thy brightness, Let all kings and nations come.
May the heathen now adoring Idol-gods of wood and stone, Come, and worshiping before Him, ​Serve the living God alone; Let Thy glory, Fill the earth as floods the sea.
Thou to whom all pow'r is given, Speak the word:-at Thy command Let the company of preachers Spread Thy Name from land to land; Lord! be with them Always, to the end of time.

Mine eyes and my desire Are ever to the Lord; I love to plead His promises, And rest upon His word.
When shall the sov'reign grace Of my forgiving God ​Restore me from those dangerous ways My wand'ring feet have trod?
O keep my soul from death, Nor put my hope to shame; For I have plac'd my only trust In my Redeemer's name.
With humble faith I wait. To see Thy face again; Of Israel it shall ne'er be said, He sought the Lord in vain.

Oh, happy bond, that seal'd my vows, To him who merits all my love! Here may I dwell within His house, Then to His heav'nly courts remove.
Now rest my long divided heart, Fix'd on this blissful centre, rest! Freely with all things earthly part, With Christ to dwell, with Christ to feast.

If but my fainting heart be blest With Thy sweet spirit for its guest, My God, to Thee I leave the rest— "Thy will be done, Thy will be done."
Renew my will from day to day; Blend it with Thine, and take away All that now makes it hard to say— "Thy will be done, Thy will be done."

Let all thy converse be sincere, Thy conscience as the noon-day clear; ​For God's all-seeing eye surveys Thy secret thoughts thy works and ways.
Wake and lift up thyself, my heart, And with the angels bear thy part; Who all night long unwearied sing High glory to the eternal King!

​WEBB. (Lieut., 1814. f-p., 14; h-p., 30.)
Nicholas Webb entered the Navy, 25 July, 1803, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the St. Albans 64, Capt. John Temple, stationed in the North Sea. Removing as Midshipman, in March, 1805, to the Favorite 18, Capt. John Davie, he sailed in that vessel for the coast of Africa, where he assisted, 28 Dec. following, at the capture, after an action of 20 minutes, of Le Général Blanchard privateer of 16 guns and 130 men, 11 of whom were killed and 25 wounded. On 6 of the following month the Favorite was herself taken by a French squadron under M. L’Hermite, but her officers and crew were immediately sent in a cartel to England, during the whole of their passage whither, two months and two days, they were under the necessity of being limited to half-a-pint of water each a-day. Soon after his arrival Mr. Webb was received, in April, 1806, on board the Uranie 38, Capt. Christopher Laroche, on leaving which ship, in Aug. 1807, he joined the Horatio of 46 guns and 270 men, Capt. Geo. Scott. In her he appears to have been present, in company with the Latona 38, and Supérieure and Driver sloops, at the capture, 10 Feb. 1809, off the Virgin Islands, of La Junon French frigate of 42 guns and 323 men, after a close and sanguinary action of nearly three hours, attended with a loss to the enemy of 130 killed and wounded, and to the Horatio of not more than 7 killed and 26 wounded. In the summer of the same year we find him sharing, in the Galgo rocket-ship, Lieut.-Commander M‘Killop, in the operations connected with the expedition to the Walcheren; on his return whence he was transferred to the Implacable 74 Capts. Thos. Byam Martin and Geo. Cockburn. Under the latter officer he accompanied an expedition sent to Quiberon Bay to co-operate with the Baron de Kolli in an attempt to liberate Ferdinand VII. of Spain from his confinement at Valençay. He served next at the defence of Cadiz and then escorted two Spanish line-of-battle ships, of 120 guns each, to the Havana; after which he proceeded to Vera Cruz, and returned with 2,000,000 dollars to Cadiz, where, and off Lisbon, he continued employed, from April, 1811, until Aug. 1813 in the Alfred 74, Capts. Wm. Shepheard and Joshua Sydney Horton, and as Acting-Lieutenant (original order dated 23 April, 1812) in the Grampus 50, Commodore Cockburn, and Myrtle 20, Capt. Clement Sneyd. He was then ordered a passage home in the Coquette 20, Capt. John Simpson. He sailed shortly afterwards for the coast of North America in the Severn 40, Capt. Joseph Nourse and was there, until May, 1815, employed as Midishipman, and again as Acting-Lieutenant, in the Albion 74, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Cockburn Dragon 74, Capt. Robt. Barrie, and Junon 38, Capt. Clotworthy Upton. His commission bears date 19 July, 1814. He was appointed for three ​months, on leaving the Junon, to the Hebrus 36, Capt. Edm. Palmer, stationed in the Channel; and he was lastly, from 9 Dec. 1828 until 1830, employed in the Coast Blockade as a Supernumerary-Lieutenant of the Ramillies 74, Capt. Hugh Pigot. Agents – Messrs.
