There's not a dress-mart to be found
Throughout the British Isles,
To vie with that of M. and Son,
In dress for Juveniles.
Moses and Son make boys' attire
In all the various styles ;
For while they strive to please adults,
They study Juveniles.
All who behold this famous stock
Bestow approving smiles ;
And thousands flock tcf M. and Son,
To dress their Juveniles.

Moses and Son can also sell
Superior Caps and tiles,
And boots and shoes, and other things,
To suit the Juveniles.

Esc• ew ell artful wiles ;
And so you'll say when once you try
Their dress for Juveniles.

'H OP • ADMIRAL LORD COLVI t•'.
,t-14, ,
regret to announce the death of Admi " l'ar' -
eite, the Right Hon. John Lord Colville, w i., ~.4 5 ,r s
it
event took place 'at his residence, Portland-place, on ••• ''''
• urday morning. Lord Colville was born in 1768, .
con quently be was in the 82d year of his age. His
.or ship succeeded his father, who was an officer in
the army, as tenth Baron Colville of Culross, March -
,8, 1811. He married, October 14, 1790, Elizabeth,
daughter of Francis Ford, Esq.; and secondly,
October 15, 1841, the Hon. Anne Law, sister of the
Earl of Eilenborough, who survives him ; but baying
no issue, the title desends to his nephew, formerly an
-officerin the 85th Foot, and eon of the late General
Sir Charles Colville, G.C.8., G.C.H. The noble
and gallant deceased was elected, in 1818,
one of the representative peers cf Scotland,
and held the appointment of t xtra Lord in
Waiting to his Royal Highness Prince Albert.
He was universally t steemed and respected, both in
and oat of the service. His career in the navy is
thus given by O'Llyrne in his "Naval Lli'vraphy :".._
" Tins officer en'ered the navy_ Di'o. 12, .1775, as
board servant, on bol the ,I-is, GO, in wLich
ship, the S•ltling Castle, 64, and Lennox,. 50, he
served until appointed, in June, 1781, midshipmen of
the Conqueror, 74, one of Sir George Rolney'e fleet
in' h:s victory over the Count de Grasse, April 12, ,
1782. . Returning home from the \Vet Ind'es in
1783, Mr. Colville does not appear to have been again
afloat until July 19, 1793, when he was promoted into
the Santa Margaretta, 36. under whom we find him as•
sisting as first lieutenant at the capture, in 1794, of the
French West India Islands, and the apparent destruc-
tion, near the Penmarks, of French 36-gun frigate
Veluntaire, and corvettes Espion and Alert. After
additionally serving on board the Glory and Impreg-
nable, 98's, flag-ships in the Channel, he obtained
command, Aug. 28, 1795, of the Star sloop, employed
chiefly on the home station, where he took a privateer,
Le Coup d'Essai, of 2 guns and 28 men; and, on
Dec. 6, 1796, was advanced to pest rank. His next
appointments were March 16, 1799, to the Penelope,
36, in which he served as senior officer, at the ensu-
ing bloCkade of , Havre ; August 15, 1800, to the
Ambuscade, 36, which frigate was sent soon after-
wards with convoy to the West Indies; in 1803 to .
the command of the Sea Fencibles, on the coast of
Cumberland ; Oct. 13, 1804, to the Romney, 50,
which ship, owing to the ignorance of her pilots, was
wrecked' in the Texel, Nov. 19, following ; in 1805,
again to the Sea Fencibles, at Margate; March 23,
1807, to the Hercule, 74, in which ship he attended
the expedition against Copenhagen, and in 1808
aeeampanied, home from Lisbon, the surrendered
Russian fleet ; and Sept. 11; 1811, after three years
of half-payi to the Queen, 74. Previouey to pay-
ing
off the latter ship, Sept. 21, 1814, Lord Ctiville,
after serving for some time on the home station, pro-
ceeded to the, West Indies, whence he escorted to
England a fleet of 370 sail of merchantmen, the last
convoy of the war. He attained the rank of rear-
admiral August 12, 1819 ; was commander in-chief
on the Cork station, with his flag in the Semiramis
frigate, from Nov. 10, 1821, until April, 1828 ; be-
came vice-admiral, July 22, 1830; and was created
a full admiral Nov. 23, 1841.
The following promotions are consequent on the
death of Lord Colville:-
Vice-Admiral Sir George Mundy, K C. 8., to be
Admiral of the Blue, vice the Marquis of Thomond,
G.C.H., to be Admiral of the White.
Rear-Admiral John Ayscough, to be Vice-Admiral
of the Blue, vice the Hon. Frederick Aylmer, C. 8.,
to be Vice-Admiral of the White, vice Sir Charles
Bullen, K.C.8., K.C.H., to be Vice-Admiral of the
Red.

Captain the Right Hon. Lord Byron (1814), to be
Rear-Admiral of the Blue, vice the- Hon. Alexander
Jones, to be Rear-Admiral of the White, vice Charles
Gordon, C 8., to be Rear-Admiral of the Red.
Vice-Admiral James Carthew is now the senior of
that grade of flag officers; Sir Thomas John Coch-
rane, K.C.8., is the senior Rear-Admiral for promo-
tion ; and Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., G.C.8., K.C.H.
(Ambassador to Switzerland), is the senior Captain,
on the list; Captain H. Byam Martin, C.B. (1827),
succeeds to the senior half pay list of 14s. 6d. per
diem ; and Captain Henry Dundas Trotter to the half-
pay list of 12s. 6d.
THE CAPTAINS' GOOD-SERVICE PENSION.—We
stated on Saturday that one of the vacant captains'
good-service pensions had been conferred on that
distinguished Polar voyage captain, Sir James Clark
Ross. We have now great pleasure in stating that
the previous vacant pension had been bestowed by
the First Lord of the Admiralty on that most dis-
tinguished but neglected officer, Captain James
Hindmarsh, Governor of Heligoland; we say neg-
lected, for, with the most brilliant services, including
the Ist of June, Lord Cornwallis's action, the battle
of the Nile, Sir. James Sauaiarez's actions, the battle
of Trafalgar, and the capture of the islands of France
and Java, the only decoraticn he has ever received is
that of K.H. He was a lieutenant eleven years in
the war, and a commander seventeen years. The
selection of such an old and distinguished officer as
Captain Hindmzrsh for hon Our or emolument r(fl..cts
great credit on the Admiralty.
PROMOTIONS.
Mates—Glow. Stratton (August, 1847, almost
the senior eligible), of tlit. Orestes, 14, at the Cape;

Robinson (whose name does not appear in the
Navy List) have been promoted to the rank of
lieutenants.

Second Master—Napoleon Level! (acting), to the
Severn, depot ship, at Pembroke.
Clerk—Jonathan T. Sparke (1844), who has been

Qucen, 110, flagship in the Mediterranean.
Boatswain—James Woodward, to the Enterprise ;
and Edward Rundle, to the Investigator, discovery
ships.

Rear-Admiral Prescott, C. 8., superintendent of
Portsmouth Dockyard, is, we are happy to report, in
such a satisfactory state of convalescence as to be able'
to daily attend his officiul duties.
OTYRNE'S NAVAL BloGßarnr.—We have consi•
derable satisfaction in stating that the Lords of the
Admiralty, duly estimating the 'great and important
labours of Mr. O'Byrne in compiling " The Naval
Biographical Dictionary," have handsomely presented
him with the sum of 100/. The public money was
never more justly bestowed than in this instance, and
we trust thin high official acknowledgnic.nt of Mr.
O'Byrne's work, the completiOn of-which must have
entailed considerable expense upon him, to say no-
thing of his six years' application, will help most
materially in the disposal of the present edition.
Rear Admiral Sir Fleetwood B. R. Pellew, C. 8.,
to whom report has assigned the vacant com-
mand-in-chief of the East Indies and China station, is
at present at Florence. There are at least half a-
dozen candidates for the appointmeat.

wife, was at Moulmein (not Madras) Oct. 18, to
which place the Fury steam-sloop, Commander Wil-
cox, was to be dispatched, on her return to long-
Kong, with the intelligence of the death of Sir F.

We stated a month since that Captain Troubridge,
in the Amazon, 26, was ordered from China to be
senior officer in the Straits of Malacca. By last
accounts he was at Singapore with the Cleopatra, 26,
C.lptain Maisie, and Reynard screw•corvette, Com-
mander Cracroft.

Commodore Martin, in the. Prince Regent, 90, and
with the Thetis, 36, Captain Codrington, C. 8., were
off Malta on the 14th, from Besika Bay, on his way
to Lisbon, to take command of the Channel squadron,
the Prince Regent having been relieved by the
Ganges, 84, Captain Smith, C.B.
The inquiry into the accidental collision in Ports-
mouth Harbour has completely exonerated the
master commander of the Fairy yacht (Mr. Welch),
from all blame. The Fairy will be brought into
dock in the early part of this week. Commander
Crispin, of the royal yacht, *has gone on leave of
absence.

The Terrible, 21, steam-frigate, Captain Hope, is
still short of blue jackets, at Woolwich. She is
