NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The navy will he gratified to learn that the Admi-
ralty, appreciating the distinguished services of
Commander Tarleton, at Burrnah, have promoted
him to the rank of captain, and have further evinced
their sense of this officer's eligibility by appointing

officer entered the navy in September, 1803, as first-
class volunteer on hoard the Leander, 50 ; as mid-
shipman of the Pallas, 32, Captain Lord Cochrane, he
assisted in that frigate, while cruizing off the Azores,
at the capture of four valuable Spanish vessel., one
of the richest of which, laden with treasure, he car-
ried as prizetnaster to Plymouth. On April 6, 1806,
while her boats with all but 40 of the crew were
absent on an expedition up the Garonne, the Pallas
gave chase to, and drove on shore, two corvettes and a
large armed frigate-built store ship, mounting in the
whole 64 guns; and on this occasion Mr. Tattnall was
the only quarter-deck petty officer left on board. In
the course of the following month he witnessed the
destruction of the semaphores along the French coast,
and was present when the Pallas, having singly at-
tacked the French 40-gun frigate La Minerve, in
company with three 18-gun brigs, ran foul of the
former in an attempt to board, and by the tremend-
ous shock was reduced to a complete wreck. In
December, 1806, shortly after he had been removed
with Lord Cochrane to the- Imperieuse, 38, he was
placed in charge of a prize in the Bay of Biscay, and
sent to England. On his passage, however, the
vessel he was in was driven by stress of weather in a
sinking state under the island of Belleisle, and was
there taken possession of by a force sent for that pur-
pose from the shore. On the following day he was
sent over to Quiberon Bay, and thence marched to
the depot at Verdun, a distance of 500 miles. At
the end of eighteen months he was deprived, with
all the midshipmen then in France, of his parole, and
taken to Givet. Here he was placed with 1,200
British seamen in close confinement in the barracks;
and it wes not until December 1809, that, having
failed in two attempts, he at length succeeded in
effecting his escape in the disguise of a
female, and reaching Ostend; whence, through the
agency of a smuggler, he was conveyed on board the
British fleet. In the ensuing January he passed his
examination; and in May, 1810, he joined on promo-
tion the Neptune, 98, flag-ship, in the West Indies, of
Sir Alexander Cochrane, who immediately nominated
him Acting Lieutenant of the St. Pierre, 18, Captains
Flinn and Houston. In this sloop be returned to
Portsmouth in July of the same year; and on the
10th of the next December he was again ordered to
act as Lieutenant in the Racehorse, 18 ; in which (the
appointment being confirmed April 18 following) we
find him present, May 20, 1811, when in company, off
Madagascar, with the 36-gun frigates Astrwa, Phoebe,
and Galatea, at the capture (after a long and warmly
contested action with the French 40-gun frigate Re-
nommee, Clorine, and Nereide) of the Renommee, and
on the 26th of the same month, of the Nereide, and
the settlement of Tamatave. Invaliding from
the Racehorse about May, 1812, he was next ap-
pointed-Jan. 5, 1813, to the Portia, 14. He com-
maded the boats of the President, 38, at the capture,
during the siege of St. Sebastian, of the island of
Santa Clara-and, whilst in the Tonnant, 80, com-
manded the Tounant's boats at the destruction of
Commodore Barney's flotilla up the Patuxent; had
charge of a gunboat in the attack upon Baltimore,
and again commanded the boats of the Tonnant in
company with those of a squadron under Captain
Lockyer, of the Sophie, 18, at the capture, on Lake
Borgne, of five American gunboats, under Commo-
dore Jones, which did not surrender until the British
in the course of a desperate conflict, had been occa-
sioned a loss of 17 men killed, and 77 wounded. In
narrating the details of the latter very gallant affair,
Captain Lockyer, in his dispatch says-"I cannot
omit to mention the conduct of Lieutenants Tattnall
and Roberts, of the Tonnant, particularly the
former, who, after having his boat sunk alongside,
got into another, and gallantly pushed on to the
attack of the remainder 'of the flotilla." We may
add, that the launch, the boat alluded to, had 16 of
her crew killed and wounded. On the promotion of
Captain Lockyer, Mr. Tattnall, having been the
senior lieutenant engaged, was ordered by Sir A.
Cochrane to succeed him in the command of the
Sophie. From February to May, 1815, he acted as
captain of the Dictator, 64, and Carron, 20; he was
then placed on half pay, without his promotion, how-
ever, being confirmed. At length, in March, 1819,
on a partial change taking place at the Admiralty
Board, his case, without application on his part, was
laid, by Sir Edward Codrington, before Sir George
Cockburn, who at once placed him in acting command
of the Spey, 20, then on the eve of her departure for
the Mediterranean. He was officially promoted April
14 following, and has not been since afloat.-Herald.
Commander Nepean, whose death we announced
yesterday, was son of the late Lieutenant-General
Nepean and brother of Captain Nepean, R.N. He
entered the navy March 3, 1798, as first-class volun-
teer on board the Caton ; was promoted to the rank
of lieutenant, Sup'. 25, 1806 ; and next in succession
appointed, 29th of the same month, to the Raven,
sloop, Captain James Grant, stationed off Lisbon and
Oporto ; Dec. 21, 1806, to the Bellerophon, 74,
bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Albemarle Bartle,
in the Channel ; April 8, 1808, to the Humber,
Captains John Hill and Robert England, employed
between Falmouth and the Downs ; about July,
1809, to the Imperieuse, 38, Captains Lord Coch-
rane, Thomas Gould, and Hon. Henry Duncan,
attached to the force in the North Sea and Mediter-
ranean ; and, in 1811, to the regular service, which he
left in 1814. While belonging to the Raven he was
wounded in her boats in an attack upon a privateer ;
and when in the Imperieuse, in 1809, he assisted at
the destruction of a fort in the River Scheldt, took
part in the operations connected with the siege of
Flushing, and was a second time wounded in an affair
with five Dutch schuyts near South Beveland. His
last appointments were April 25, 1823, to the water
guard, in which service he continued, we believe, but
a short period ; October 28, 1841, to the post (which
he retained until the close of 1843) of Admiralty
agent on board a contract mail steam-vessel ; and
January 4 and May 22, 1845, to the San Josef, 110,
and Caledonia, 120, both commanded by Captain
Manley Hall Dixon, at Devonport.

AQUATICS.
Two very yester-
day over the usual regatta course, from Putney to Mort-
lake. The first of thse was for 501., between Williams,
a waterman of the Tower-stairs, and R. Power, of
Whitehall, and rowed up. The second was between
Sinclair and Perry, and was rowed down. Both matches
created considerable sporting interest, and the Curlew
steamer, which had been chartered to accompany the
races, was crowded with sporting men, who speculated
freely upon the results.
In the first match betting was 5 to 4 on Power, whc,
losing the chance of station, took the Patney side of
Fulham bridge, his opponent being on the Middlesex
side of the centre arch. It was a very capital start, the
pace being extremely good, and the men continaed
almost scull and scull up to Finch's, where Williams
began to draw away from his opponent, who, however,
struggled very manfully, although unsuccessfully, Wil-
liams ultimately winning by several lengths.
Perry and Sinclair, both landsmen of considerable re-
nown, shortly afterwards started from Mortlake to
Putney for 301. They had before contended, when Sin-
clair was the conqueror. Betting was even, but in some
eases sto 4 was invested on Sinclair. Both men were
in capital condition, and rowed in old-fashioned boats—
a novelty now-a-days. Perry had the best station, but
his opponent took the lead, and kept it to Barnes Rail-
way-bridge, where they became scull and scull, and a
most exciting race followed all the way down. Perry,
in the course of a smart spurt, drew slightly in advance
of his opponent, and came in first by a length and a half
only.

Pot Laureate, a

THE FIELDS FOR TO.MORROW'S RACES AT

XiAMKET, &c.

TO THE EDITOE, OF THE SUN.
SIR,--The racing at head-quarters yesterday was un-
usually interesting; the appiarance of so many notable
quadrupeds having given it a zest rarely met with on
the first day of the First 03tober Meeting. The race
for the Buckenham Stakes, to all intents and purposes,
settled the pretensions of Vanderdecken, as he abso-
lutely finished a bad third to Estrella and the Touch-
stone filly.
The Duke of Bedford's Petrel—s, useful two years
old—carried off the 10 sous. Stakes so very cleverly that
he found a new owner at the telling price of 50 sovs.
The Hopeful Stakes was won, rather strange to say,
by a horse from Day's stable 'yclept Brocket, who was
not backed for a single fartaing in the ring. lie won by
a neck from his stable companion Vaultress, Noisette
being a bad third. The crack Sylphine—about whom
they took 5 and 6 to 4—wis beaten from the distance.
She ought not to have beenstarted, for she was evidently
dead amiss.

—The race for the Grand Duke Michael Stakes proved
that Stockwell had not damaged himself by twisting his
shoe, as he took the lead, made all the running, and won
by several lengths. Muscovite—who will be heard of
hereafter in connexion with tome handicaps—beat Filius
by nearly two lengths for second place. Ilex—who
finished a bad fourth and last—was more than bait*
distanced. _ _

The last heat of the Third Triennial Produce Stakes
in its result seriously affected the betting for the Cesare-
witch: Ariosto, who made a waiting race of it, coming
when required, and winning very
easily by two lengths.
He was immediately afterwards elevated to the rank of
second favourite for the Haniicap at 15 to 1. Phlegra
also received promotion for that race, having finished
second to Ariosto. Hernandez broke down badly, but
finished third. La.martine—Rho cut out the work to
the Duke's stand—was a bad fourth, and Aaron Smith,
lame before starting, finished 3fth and last, beaten all the
way. Consequent upon the decision of thisrace, besides
backing Ariosto at 15 to 1,
any advance upon 10 to 1 would
have been taken about his stable companion, the Knight
of the Shire; and 25 to 1 was taken two or three times
about Phlegra, whose chance for the Cesarewitch seems
to be a little better than was at first supposed.
The field for the Fourth Triennial Produce Stakes to-
morrow will consist of Hobble Noble, Daniel O'Rourke,
Adine, Dollond, Father Thanes, Maidstone, and per-
haps Poodle, and one from General ARBOR'S and Lord
Ribblesdale's stables. HOBBLE NOBLE and DANIEL
11.
O'ROURKE will occupy the first and second places.
The Rutland Stakes—Elesathorpe, Pharold, Vest or
Noisette, and perhaps Glenavon and colt by Verulam.
ELMSTHORPE and Pharold will undoubtedly be first and
second.

The Match for 1001., T. Y. C., between Jupiter Tonans,
Bst 91b, and Diomedia, Bst 41k, will, I think, be won by
the latter.

I also expect Nathan will beat Jack the Giant Killer,
and Glenluce Nabob, in their respective matches.
The Queen's and Town Plate? and 5 sovs. Sweep-
stakes do not close and name ultzl this evening.

PRAISEWORTHY CONDUCT OF THE ORANGEMEN
AT LivzurooL.— On Sunday last, information having been
laid before the head constable (Captain Greig) that a funeral
was to proceed from Eldon-place, Vauxhall-road, attended
by a procession wearing Orange favours, that officer, with
Chief Superintendent Ride, proceeded to the spot, with a
view to prevent such a display. We are glad to learn that
the party, on being informed that a disturbance might be
created by their wearing favours, at once desisted, and fol-
lowed the body of their deceased brother to the grave in their
oaliary attic ins PIQUI4ors.
