DEATH OF ADMIRAL SIR ROBERT WALLER OTWAY,
HART., G.C.B.—This distinguished officer expired on Tuesday morn-
ing, at his residence in Hyde Park-gardens, having just completed his
74th year. Sir Robert was Admiral of the White, a Knight Grand
Cross of the order of the Bath, a dignitario of the Brazilian order of
the Cross, and Groom of the Stole to her Majesty the Queen, having
been appointed to that office by the Whig Administration. He was
born in April, 1772; married, August 15, 1801, Clementina, daughter
and co-heir of Admiral Holloway, of Wells, Somersetshire, by whom
he had issue live sons and seven daughters, of whom two sons and
two daughters are dead ; to one of the latter, Adelaide Louisa, Queen
Adelaide stood sponst.r. The eldest son, Robert Waller, born July
22, 1813. a commander in the Royal Navy, was killed by a fall from
his horse in Hyde Park, May, 1811. The second son, Charles Cooke,
born in June, 1815, was lost in her Majesty's ship Victor (which he
commanded) in a hurricane; in the ,West Indies, September,
1842. The deceased was created a baronet at the Corona-
Bon in 1831, for his eminent professional services. He went to
sea early in life. In Lord llowe's action in the Channel he served
as lieutenant on board the Impregnable. While in command of the
Thorn he was frequently engaged on shore in the Carib wax, and
captured the French corvette Courier, in 1795. Ile commanded the
Mermaid, and twice beat off the French frigate Vengeance, of greatly
superior force, under the batteries of Basso Terre, Guadaloupe. In
command of the boats of the same ship he cut the Mutine privateer,
of considerable force, from near Porto Rico. In command of the
Ceres, he drove on shore, off the Havannah, a Spanish guards costa
erlo guns, which (the Ceres being also on shore) he destroyed by the
boats. In command of the Trent, and with the boats of that ship he
brought out a Spanish corvette from Laguayra, in 1799, and de-
stroyed her. Commanded the London in the battle of Copenhagen,
in 1801 ; the Montague on the coast of Catalonia, and rendered good
service; the Ajax off Toulon, in Sir 11. Blackwood's partial engage-
ment with the French squadron ; and, in the same ship, covered the
siege of St. Sebastian, in 1813. In short, the Gallant Admiral was
under fire upwards of 100 times, and his name has been repeatedly
mentioned in the published dispatches of superior officers. Sir
Robert's family is one of great antiquity. In politics he was a Whig
and " something more," but of late years he took no active part in
political proceedings.
