APPOINTMENTS.

Commander Edward Herrick (1849) has been ap-
pointed superintendent of the packet service at Dover,
vice Baldock, whose term of service has expired. This
officer entered the navy Juno 18, 1805, as first-class vo-
lunteer, on board the Reveege, 74, Captains Robert
Moorsom, Hon. Charles Elphinstone Fleming, John
Gore, Hon. Charles Paget, and John Nash. After
participating as midshipman, in the action off Trafal-
gar, witnessing also Lord Cochrane's destruction of the
French shipping in the Basque Roads, and serving in
the batteries during the operations against Flushing, he
sailed in 1811 for the East Indies on board the Dro-
medary, store ship, Master-Commander Pritchard. On
his arrival on that station he joined the Illustrious, 74,
bearing the broad pendant, first, of Commodore William
Robt. Broughton, and the flag afterwards of Rear-Ad-
miral Sir Samuel Hood. He returned to Eng-
land in March, 1813, in the Modeste, 38,
Captain James Coutts Crawford, and between
May, 1814, and June, 1815, was next employed, lat-
terly as Master's mate, in the President frigate, Captain
Archibald Duff, on the Cork station. He then took up
a commission bearing date Feb. 3, 1815, but did not
again go afloat until appointed, August 6,1830, to the
Prince Regent, 120, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral
William Parker in the river Tagus. The latter ship
being paid off Feb. 21,1832, he subsequently joined,
June 29, 1832, as first lieutenant, the Champion, 18,
Captain Hon. Arthur Duncombe, with whom he served
in the Mediterranean until Dec. 16, 1834; March 18,
