NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

We adopted, yesterday, the error of the Hampshire
Telegraph in reporting the Ceath of Lord "le,
ton," as that if Lord Middleton, the naval officer.
To Captain Lord Middleton's friends the mistake must
at once have been apparent. The deceased nobleman
was described as of Peper Harrow, county of Sur-
rey ; whilst the naval officer, it is well known, is of
Middleton, county of Warwick, and of Wollaton
House, Notts. His other names are " Digby Wil.
loughhy," he is a baron and a baronet, and spells his
surname with " two d's." The unfortunate deceased is
" Viscount George Alan Brodrick Midleton, and
Baron Broderick of Midleton, county of Cork, in the
peerage of Ireland ; and Baron Brodrick, of Peper
Harrow, county of Surrey, in the peerage of Great
Britain."

SERVICES OF CAPTAIN HENRY EDEN.—Captain
Henry Eden, who succeeds Commodore Sir J. Gor-
don Bremer, K.C.8., as superintendent of Woolwich
Dockyard, is the fourth son of Thomas Eden, Esq.,
Deputy Auditor of Greenwich Hospital, whose elder
brothers were—first, Sir John Eden, Bart. ; second,
Sir Robert Eden, Bart.; and third, the first Lord
Auckland, and whose younger brother was Lord
Henley. Captain Eden is cousin to the present Earl
of Auckland, First Lord of the Admiralty, and is the
brother•in-law of Lord Brougham.
Captain Henry Eden entered the navy as first-class
volunteer in June, 1811. His first ship was the
Acasta, 40, Captain A. R. Kerr, and he served is her
as volunteer and midshipman, cruising in the Bay of
Biscay and on the north coast of America for three
years. From the Acasta he removed to the Tonnant,
80, flag-ship, at Cork, for a few months, and in Feb-
ruary, 1816, was appointed to the Alceste, 38, Captain
Murray Maxwell, and proceeded in her with Lord
Amherst's embassy to China, and shared in the hazard-
ous service of the expedition and the disasters which
befel the unfortunate ship on her returning. He
passed for a Lieutenant in August, was promoted in
October, 1817, and in June, 1818, was appointed to the
Liffey, 40. After serving in her two years, he was
appointed to the Rochfort, 74, in March, 1820, and
continued in her as Flag-Lieutenant to the Com-
mander-in-Chief on the Mediterranean station until
October, 1821, when he was promoted into the Chan-
ticleer, 10, and commanded this brig, and then the
Martin, 16, for three years in the Mediterranean. As
a Commander he also served in the Herald yacht, for
six months, on the home station. He was promoted to
the rank of Captain in April, 1827, and commis-
sioned the Conway, 26, in February, 1832, and com-
manded the ship for three years and a half. For six
months he was cruising off the Texel and Scheldt, in
the winter time, at the blockade of the Dutch ports in
1832-33, and for his zealous and judicious conduct
there obtained the officially recorded approbation of
that distinguished officer, the late Vice Admiral Sir
Pulteney Malcolm. He then proceeded to Oporto,
and during the siege of that city by Dom Miguel
was senior officer there, in command of the Conway ;
when, by the performance of the duties entrusted to
him, he secured the written approbation of Sir Wil-
liam Parker, then commander-in. chief at Lisbon. He
subsequently proceeded to the Pacific in the Conway,
and returned to England after serving two years on
that station. When Admiral Sir Graham Moore, his
brother-in-law, was appointed commander in-chief at
Devonport, in February, 1832, he appointed Captain
Eden his flag•captain. He served there three years
in command of the Impregnable, 104, and Caledonia,
120, to the entire sati.faction of the gallant admiral,
by whom he was officially commended for the high
state of discipline and efficiency of the flag ships, as
well as for the way in which the port duties were
performed—they were then of an onercus character,
arising from the reinforcements dispatched during
this period to the fleet at China. On Sir Graham
Moore striking his flag, Captain Eden went on half-
pay until May, 1844, when he was appointed to the
Collingwood, 80, as flag captain to Sir George Sey-
mour, proceeding as commander-in-chief to the Pa-
cific. After fitting this ship out at Portsmouth, how-
ever, in a very creditable manner, and for which he
received the highest testimonials from Sir George
Seymour, for the good order which was apparent in
the early period of her equipment, and the general
good conduct which had been observed on board of
her, he was obliged from ill-health, when the work
was done and the ship on the eve of sailing, to relin-
quish the command, much to the regret of every one
on board.

On the Earl of Auckland being nominated to his
present office, he appointed his cousin to be his private
secretary ; and after faithful and efficient service to
his Lordship for two years and a half—with what ad-
vantage to the members of the service, individually
and collectively, distinguished officers have not failed
to express personally and in writing to ourselves and
others —the First Lord of the Admiralty has selected
him, after more than twenty years' actual service
afloat, and at the age of fifty-two, to be captain-
superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard.—Herald.

BURKE'S HISTORY OF THE LANDED GIINTRY OF
GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, SUPPLEMENTARY Vo.
LUME.—This great work is a lasting monument of the
industry, the research, and the scrupulous:zeal of the
author, and it will be an enduring and trustworthy re.
cord of the genealogies and fainily history of the untitled
aristocracy of these realnis. We have already expressed
our admiration of the Comprehensive plan of " Burka's
Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary," and of the satis-
factory manner in which that plan has been carried out.
We have only now to remark, that the supplementary
volume before us adds some hundreds of families to the
already large list; and seems to bring the undertaking as
far as it can be brought at present. A general index
of all the name■ occurring in the histories of the various
families recorded in the work is in preparation, and when
that is appended, the untitled gentry of Great Britain
and Ireland will have as perfect a dictionary of their
family connexions and heraldic rights as the peerage-and
the barcnetage.—Morning Post.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Liver Complaints and -Pains
in the Right Side, need not be endured. The Vegetable
Restorative Pills, prepared by John Kaye,. Esq., of Dal-
ton .hall, near Huddersfield, speedily restore the healthy
action of the Liver, carry off the redundant acrimonious
Bile, and remove the consequent pains from the side
and stomach. The following testimonial is in character
with hundreds more:—" Mr. Lowe, of Newark-lodge,
near Gloucester, was for some time confined to his bed,
suffering from Liver, Bilious, and other complaints. He
obtained some of Kaye's Worsdell's Pills, and in less than
a fortnight he was restored to a degree of health greater
than he had enjoyed for six years. He declares that
the Pills have done him more good than all the medi-
cines he ever took." The genuine Pills have the &TRU
of John Kaye, together with a fee-simile of his signature,
on the printed directions for use wrapped round "
each
box. Sold at ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. per box, fo be
had of all respectable Chemists and Medicine Venders.

COURT MARTIAL AT SRBERNESIL—A court martial
assembled on board the Ocean flag-ship at Sneeriess,
on Saturday, for the trial of William Ellikin, a private of
Royal Marines. The prisoner was placed sentry on the
after cockpit to keep watch on the evening orthe 25th of
October, from six to eight o'clock, and on Sergeant
Rogers going round visiting the sentries, the prisoner
was absent from his post, and the sergeant found him se-
crated behind some screens and drunk. The circum-
stance was reported to Lieutenant George B. Heasty, of
the Royal Marines, who was the officer of the guard, and
that officer ordered him below to his hammock, and gave
directions for the prisoner to be brought up next morn-
ing. The prisoner struck the sergeant with his fists,
and Lieutenant Freeland then ordered the prisoner to be
put in irons. This the prisoner resisted until he was
overpowered—the prisoner cursing and swearing; and
on the morning of the 26th, Sergeant William Cole,
Royal Marines, went into the cockpit to take the pri-
soner before the captain, when the prisoner said, the
first chance he had ho would take the life of Sergeant
Rogers. The Court, after a lengthened consideration,
returned a verdict, that the first charge was not proved;"
the second, third, and fourth being proved, the sentence
of thasCourt was, that the prisoner receive corporal
punishment of fifty lashes on board the Ocean, and
further be imprisoned in the county gaol at Maidstone
for two years, and to forfeit all pay. The Court 'then
broke up. _ _

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 17 per mile, which, at the Engbib Mint price of
31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.57; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.47 k, it follows that gold is 0.37 per
cent. dearer in Paris than in London. The course of
exchange at New York on London is 101 f per cent.,
and the par of exchange between England and Ame-
rice being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the
exchange is 1.08 per cent. against England; but' the
quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days'
sight, the interest must be deducted from the above
difference,
