sorrowing veterans of that noble institution. The
notices of this gallant officer have hitherto been confined
by our contemporaries to his career in the navy. There
great rewards hold out a stimulus to acts of daring by
men in the prime of life. But in Greenwich Hospital,
to the governorship of which no man attains until the
evening of life, and when a disinclination to exertion
may well be deemed excusable, inward self-satisfaction
is the only reward for a conscientious discharge of the
duties of that post. This satisfaction Sir Charles Adam
ought to have enjoyed in the highest degree, if an
unwearied and persevering endeavour to benefit the
whole establishment could confer it. All guard-duty
by day and night, formerly so harassing to the old
men, has been abolished, and the lodging, clothings
and diet of both pensioners and boys improved. He was
indefatigable in inspecting the wards—no trifling labour
in that extensive and lofty building--mingling with the
pensioners, and addressing them in so kind and affable a
manner that the most diffident were encouraged to com-
municate their little grievances, which, when able, he at
once redressed. Nor was Sir Charles Adam less actively
interested in the welfare of the schools, and during the
periodical examinations by the Government inspector he
was daily to be seen in the ela.ss:room—an intention
most inciting to the masters as well as their scholars.
It is difficult to say in what department of the institution
the decease of Sir Charles will be most deplored, and it
is only to be hoped that this great loss to the establish-
ment may be in some degree alleviated by the appoint-
ment of a worthy successor.
THE RETIRED FLAG OFFICERS OF SEPTEMBER, 1846.
—We believe it was understood at the last re-arrange-
ment of the flag-list, that as the flag officers on reserved
half-pay were to progress in their grades of flag rank,
as they would have taken their turn for promotion if
they had remained on the active list ; so the senior cap-
tains who accepted the retired flag rank under the Order
in Council of 1846, should also advance in their titles
according to their seniority, with those on the active
list. Under these circumstances, then, our respected
and venerable neighbour, Rear-Admiral Wilkes Mau-
rice, the senior of the retired list of admirals becomes
entitled to his promotion to the rank of vice-admiral
without any increase of pay, our gallant friend being
senior as a captain to our esteemed fellow-townsman,
Vice-Admiral Arthur, C. 8., who has attained his pre-
sent rank on the death of Admiral Sir Charles Adam.—
Plymouth, Mail.
FLAG CAPTAIN ON THE BRAZILS STATION.—We hear
that Captain Thomas Harvey (1848) will succeed Capt.
St. Leger Cannon in the Centaur as flag captain to the
commander-in-chief, Rear-Admiral Henderson, C. 8.,
on the south-east coast of America station. Captain
Cannon has invalided.—Plymouth, Mail.
