DEATH OF ADMIRAL SIR EDWARD W. C. R.
OWEN, G.C.8., G.C.H.-Another gallant flag-officer
of the Royal Navy has gone to his last account.
Admiral of the White Sir Edward William Camp-
bell Rich Owen, G.C.8., G.C.H., died on Monday
last, at his seat at Windlesham, near I3agshot, Surrey,
full of years and honours, having attained the ad-
vanced age of seventy-eight. The name of the gallant deceased, either by his father's, his own, or his bro-
.. C. Owen, who having been in the naval service for
2599 almost three quarters of a century, served on full
_ posterity, for his great and incessant services in the
,810 Channel against the French will live for ever. His
18,303 name on the French coast was held in the utmost
terror, for wherever his gallant frigate "Immortalite"
4,113 went there was stern fighting with and destruction to
let
the enemy. Sir 'William Owen's father was a Captain
in the navy ; as a midshipman he lost his right arm
ase
at the taking of Pondicherry from the French in
1760, and was accidentally killed at Madras in 1788,
when returning to England with dispatches announc-
ing the second capture of Pondicherry.
Sir W. Owen represented Sandwich in Parliament
in 1826 ; in May, 1827, he was appointed to the
office of Surveyor General of the Ordnance • and in
March, 1828, formed one of the Lord High Ordnance;
council. From the Admiralty he was appointed
Commander in-chief of the East India station; and
from 1834 held for a short time the office of Clerk of
the Ordnance. The details of his career in the navy
are thus given in 0 Byrne's " Naval Biography," but
they are necessarily somewhat abridged :-
" This officer entered the nary on August 11, 1775, as
captain's servant on board the Enterprise, commanded
in the Mediterranean by Captain Sir Thomas Rich, with
whom from 1780 until 1782, he served in the West In-
dies in the Princessa, Sandwich, and Princess Royal.
In July, 1786, he rejoined the same captain as midship-
man on board the Culloden, 74, lying at Plymouth, and
while on the books of that ship he was on two occa-
sions lent to the Fairy sloop, Captain Isaac George
Manly, and Leander, 50, bearing the broad pendant at
Halifax of Commodore Herbert Sawyer. In the early
part of 1790, after his servitude; of two years on the
Channel and Mediterranean stations in the Lowestoffe
frigate, Capt. Edward Dodd, he passed his examination.
lie then became, in succession, attached to the Thisbe,
21, Capt. Rupert George; the Dido frigate, Capt. Edwd.
the
lHier; the Vengeance, 74, Captain Sir Thomas Rich;
Hannibal 74, Captain John Colpoys; the Porcupine,
24, Captain Edward Buller; and Culloden again, Capt.
Sir Thomas Rich, in which ships he served on the
North American, home, and West India stations, until
made Lieutenant, Nov. 6, 1793, into the FortuLee, 36,
Captain Wooldridge, off Cadiz, where he soon removed
to the Hannibal, still commanded by Captain Colpoys.
His next appointments were July 22, and Dec. 15, 1794,
to his old ship, the Culloden, and to the London, 98,
bearing the flags in the Channel of Admirals Sir
Thomas Rich and J. Colpoys ; by the latter, we be-
lieve, of whom he was nominated, after having enacted
a part in Lord Bridport's action, acting Captain in
March and May, 1796, of the Impregnable, 98, and
Queen Charlotte, 100. Being awarded a second pro-
motel commission, bearing date Sept. 19, 1796, Captain
Owen, in Jan., 1797, rejoined his friend Admiral Col-
pop as a volunteer on board the London, on leaving
which ship in the ensuing May he was for two months
employed in the command of the gun-brigs stationed in
the Thames and at the Nore under the orders of Com-
modore Erasmus Gower. He obtained post rank on
April 23, 1796, in the Northumberland, 74,1ying at Sheer-
ness, and he was subsequently appointed, for a short
period in the summer of the same year, to the Irresisti-
ble, 74, stationed in the river Medway; Jan. 1, 1801, to
the Nemesis, 28; May 11, 1802, to the Immortalite, 36;
March 21, 1806, to the Clyde, 36; Dec. 6, 1810, to the
Inconstant, 36; Feb. 17, 1813, to the Cornwall, 74;
July 30, 1814, to the Dorset, yacht, off Deptford; Dec.
12, 1814, to the chief command on the Lakes of Canada;
Feb. 6, 1816, for six years, to the Royal Sovereign
yacht; Nov. 25, 1822, to the Gloucester, 72. In the
Nemesis Captain Owen commanded adetachment of
vessels off the Scheldt and the neighbourhood of Dun-
kerque; and in the Inamortaliti ho was at first employed,
as senior officer, during the peace of Amiens, of a
squadron of frigates lying in readiness for service in the
Downs. On the renewal of hostilities we find him sta-
tioned with several slooops and smaller vessels under his
orders on the coast of France, where his activity and
zeal kept the enemy in a constant state of alarm. In
June, 1803, ho drove on shore, near Cape Blanc-nez, Le
Commode and L'lnabordable, a French brig and
schooner, each mounting four guns. On the 14th of
September, following he bombarded with effect the towns
of Dieppe and St. Valery-en-Caux; and in July, 1804,
he directed an attack upon a powerful division of the
French invasion flotilla, consisting of forty five brigs
and forty-three luggers, part of which W.IS endea-
vouring to effect a passage from Boulogne to Etaples.
In August of the same year he was for several days en-
gaged with the enemy, particularly on the 25th and
26th, when the interchange of fire with their vessels and
batteries in the vicinity of Boulogne was frequent and
heavy. On the 23d October, 1804, the Immortalite and
her consorts sustained a running action of an hour, be-
tween Capes Blanc-nt z and Gris-nez, a ith three prattles,
seven brigs, and fifteen luggt ra, and in July, 1805, they
took part in a very smart affair with the enemy near
Aurbleteuse. On the latter occa-ion the Immortalit6
had her foremast, muin:opmast, spanker-boom, and
three boats shot through, her rigging and sails much
cur, her hull struck in several placts, 2 carronades dis-
abled, and 4 men killed and 12 wounded, several of them
severely. She had previously, March 7, 1805, captured
El Eutrepede Corune Spanish privateer, of 44 guns and
66 men. On his removal (atter having had command of
a squadron stationed in the rivers Elbe and Weser, for
.the purpose of embarking the troops under Lord Cath-
cart) to the Clyde, Commodore Owen (he had been
ordered to hoist a broad pendant) superintended in Oc-
tober, 1806, a decisive and very miccesslul experiment
made-with Congreve's rockets on the town of Boulogne,
where many of the buildings and several vessels were
destroyed. Accompanying the expedition of 1809 to
Wulcheren, the Commodore throughout the operations
which there took place distinguished himself in a high
degree by his gallant and lis animated conduct, and
obtained warm commendation for the manner in which
he discharged the various arduous duties he had to per-
form. His skill and judgment were in particular de-
monstrated in the position he assigned to the bomb and
other vessels under his orders in the attack upon Flush-
ing, and his activity and zeal in the assistance he
afforded the St. Domingo, the flag-ship of the Comman-
der-in-Chief, when aground under the enemy's fire,
which, through his exertions, was speedily slackened.
In the Inconstant, Commodore Owen made a voyage to
Vera Cruz and back, and was for some time attached
to the fleet off the Scheldt ; where, on his appoint•
meat to the Cornwall, he assumed the command of
the advanced portion of the shipping. At the close
of 1813 he rendered himself conspicuous by his ex-
emplary conduct at the head of a body of seamen
and marines landed to co-operate with the Dutch Royal-
ists in the defence of the island of South Beveland.
While in command of the Royal Sovereign yacht, he had
the honour of conveying to this country the present
Queen Dowager, the Dukes and Duchesses of Kent,
Cumberland, Cambridge, and Hesse Homburg, and
Grand Duke Michael of Russia. With the exception of
some months in 1823-24, Sir Edward Owen-who had
been nominated K.C.B. Jan. 2, 1805; invested with the
honour of knighthood May 14, 1816; and appointed
cJlonel of Royal Marines July 19, 1821-continued in
the Gloucester, on the West India station-where the
House of Assembly of Jamaica passed a vote of thanks
to him for his prompt attention to commercial and naval
interests-from the date above-mentioned until that of
his promotion to flag rank, May 27, 1825. On Dec. 20,
1828, he was appointed to the chief command on the
East India station, whence he returned in Oct., 1832;
and he was next-from Oct. 14, 1841, until Feb., 1845-
intrusted with the command in chief on the Mediterra-
nean station, he having attained the rank of vice-admiral
on Jan. 10, 1837, with his flag successively in the
Queen, 110, and Formidable, 84. His nomination to the
G.C.11. took place on Oct. 24, 1632, and to the G.C.B.
May 8, 1845."
Sir Edward Owen married, in 1829, the daughter of
Captain J. B. thy, R.N., but we believe he has left no
children. Rear-Admiral William Fitzwilliam Owen is
his brother, and is scarcely less distinguished for ser-
vice, although he has not been fortunate enough to hays
any appendages to his celebrated name. We believe he
is now in his seventy-eighth year; he has been seventy-
one years in the service, and of this period has actually
served forty-four (not thirty-four, as stated by the
authority above quoted) sea service.
By the death of Sir Edward Owen, the following
promotions take place:-
Vice-Admiral Alexander Wilmot Schomberg, to be
Admiral of the Blue, vice Hugh Downnaan, to be Ad-
miral of the White.
Rear-Admiral Sir John Louis, Bart., to be Vice-
Admiral of the Blue, vice Sir Charles Richardson,
K.C.8., to be Vice-Admiral of the White, vice James
Noble, to be Vice-Admiral of the red.
Captains (retired)-Charles Bertram, George Bills,
Henry Fanshawe, Isaac Hawkins Morrison, George
Berne Trollope, C. 8., Sir Thomas Mansell, K.C.H.,
Thomas Groube, Hercules Robinson, and William
r
ll,tms
Black (1814), in accordance with the terms of the o
in council of 1846, are promoted to the rank of Rear-
Admiral on the retired list, but without any additional
lay.

REMOVAL OF SUNKEN SHIPS IM P0E7'83101;711 EAR-
BOUR —For the last fortnight past a party of divers and
seamen from the Excellent have been employed in
clearing a way the wreck of two vessels which were sunk
and lying in the wake of the new slip on which the
Furious steamer is building, she being the first vessel
built thereon. These vessels were sunk about 60 years
back, as a sort of breakwater, when that part of the
dockyard wall was first built. Their removal has been
attended with a good deal of trouble, and blasting was
resorted to; but a charge of ten pounds of powder,
placed under one of these vessels, so shook the new
wall, that it was deemed prudent to desist using powder,
and the wreck of the vessels is now being got up piece-
meal by grapnels or dogs. One vessel was foreign, her
timbers and planking, which are quite sound, having
been all fastened with dowels.
There was some report abroad at Portsmouth that the
Britannia, 120, is to be taken down and commissioned
in lieu of the Victory, and that the guard-ships at the
principal ports are all to be efficient ships.
Captain Edward Purcell has returned to his ship, the
Superb, 80, at Spithead, from Admiralty leave. The
boats of the ship, with their guns in, and otherwise
manned arid armed, were exercised at Spit head on Mon-
day, firing at a target.
The L• under, 50, Captain S. C. Dacres, has entered
three-fif‘hs of her complenient of 500, and so fur has a
fine-locking set of men. Her teptnasts are pointed, and
her bowsprit nearly clothed, and she will be re ady fur
sea by the end of the month.
r The Brilliant, 20, Captain H. B. Watson, C. 8., was
paid off at Sheerness, on Tuesday. A variety of ships,
just commis,iorad, offer to the 150 blue-jackets good
opportunities for further employment in her Majesty's
service.
The Serpent, 12, Commander Barker, has been taken
into the Angle dock, at Portsmouth; she is having her
copper patched, and will be taken out of dock this day.
She is nearly manned, and seems to have a capital
crew, all stout, active fellows. She has been rigged with
great expedition, and will be soon ready for sea.
The Wolverine, 12, Commander Falcan, will be ready
to leave Chatham on the 14th inst. She has nearly
completed her crew.
