afterwards poisoned his foot, which became so bad that he was
under a surgeon's care for more

taining any relief; he was then induced to try Holloway's Oint-

foot, and he was enabled to commence work without incurs.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

DEATH OF ADMIRAL THE HON. SIR JOHN
TALBO r, G.C.B.

Since the official publication of the newly-arranged
active flag-list, the death of the venerable octogenarian
flag-officer, Admiral of the Red the Hon. Sir John Talbot,
G.C.8., has been reported; that distinguished officer,
who by the now list was third in seniority of the full ad-
mirals, having died at Rhode Hill, near Lyme Regis,
Dorsetahire, in the 83d year of his age. The following
account of his family and services is taken from O'Byrne's
Biography :-
" The lion. Sir John Talbot was third son of the late
Richard Talbot, Esq., of Mal:illicit) Castle, county of
Dublin, by Margaret, eldest daughter of James O'Reilly,
Eiq., of Ballinlough, county Westmeath, of the Milesian
princely house of Breffney, who was created by letters
patent, dated May 26, 1831, Baroness Talbot de Male-
hide, and Lady Malahide. He was brother of the pre-
sent Lord Talbot of Malahide of Malahide. This officer
entered the navy March 24, 1784, as captain's servant,
on board the Boreas frigate, Captain Horatio Nelson,
With whom he served in the West Indies until
November, 1787, part of the time in the
capacity of midshipman ; he was made lieutenant
into the Triton, 32, Captain George Murray. As
senior of the Astrea, of 32 guns and 212 men, Captain
Lord Henry Paulet, he was afforded an opportunity of
displaying much good conduct; on the night of April 10,
1795, at the capture, in the Channel, of the French fri-
gate La Gloire, of 42 guns and 275 men, 40 of whom in
the course of a spirited action of 5$ minutes were killed
and wounded, with a loss to the British of not more
than eight wounded. He was promoted on the 17th of
the same month to the command of the Helena sloop on
the home station; was posted August 27, 1796, into the
Eurydice, 24. While commanding the sloop Captain
Talbot made prigs, Dec. 15, 1796, Feb. 6 and March 7,
1797, and Nov. 10, 1799. of the privateers Sphinx, of 26 '
men; Flibustier, of 14 guns, 6 swivels, and 63 men;
Voltigeur, of 23 men; and Flirondelle, of 14 guns and 50
men. In the Glenmore he ro-took, in July, 1801, four
West Indiamen which had been cut off from their con-
voy by a French privateer. In the Leander he captured,
Feb. 23, 1805, La Ville de Milan, of 46 guns, and her
prize the Cleopatra, 32, both of which ships had been
much shattered in a':recent engagement; and in the
Thunderer he passed the Dardanelles with Sir John
Duckworth, in February, 1807, and obtained the
warm praise of Sir William Sidney Smith for the ad-
mirable manner in which he placed his ship in the
action which :terminated with the destruction
of the Turkish squadron off Point Pesquies.
In the Victorious, which ship he did not join until No-
vember, 1809, Captain Talbot was at first stationed un-
der Lord Collingwood off Toulon. He was next en-
gaged under the late Sir George Martin in affording
protection to the island of Sicily when threatened with
an invasion by Joachim Murat; and while blockading
Corfu with the Leonidas and Imogene under his orders,
he drove on shore, Jan. 30, 1811, the Leoben, an Italian
schooner of war, of 10 guns and 60 men, which was set
on fire and blown up by the enemy. On the 21st Feb.,
1812, being at the time off Venice, in company with the
Weasel, 18, Captain John William Andrew, the Victo-
rious (who although rated a 74, mounted 82 guns, mea-
sured 1,724 tons, threw a broadside of 1,060 pounds, and
had on board a crew of 506 men) discovered, on its way
frem the above port to Pole, in Istria, a hostile squa-
dron, consisting of the French ship Rivoli, of 80 guns
(equal in broadside weight of metal to 1,085 pounds),
1,804 tons, and 810 men; the Jena and Mercure, of
16, and the Mameloack, of 8 guns, and two gun-
boats. This was at about three P.M., and at half-past
four A.M., on the 22d, the Victorious, having arrived
within half-pistol shot of the Rivoli, commenced an
action with that ship, which continued to rage with the
utmost fury on both sides until nine A.M.; when her
hull, masts, and rigging being dreadfully cut up. and
400 of her crew being either killed or wounded, the
Rivoli struck her colours. The loss sustained by the
Victorious in achieving this noble exploit amounted to
27 killed and 99 wounded. Towards the close of the
engagement, it may be as well to add, she received the
.
assistance of two broadsides from the Weasel, who,
emulating the gallantry of her consort, had blown up the
Mercure, and put to flight the Jena and Mamelouck.
Captain Talbot received, in the early part of the action,
a contusion from a splinter which nearly deprived him of
sight, and compelled him to leave the deck, where his
place, however, was ably supplied by his first lieutenant,
the preaent Captain Thomas Ladd Peake. On his
return to England he was presented by the Admiralty
with a gold medal, commemorative of that which
his valour accomplished. Having refitted at Chat-
ham he sailed in November, 1812, from Spit-
head with a convoy for the West Indies.
Thence he proceeded to the Chesapeake. On the 12th of
November, 1813, he was present at Halifax in a severe
hurricane, which drove on shore 96 sail of vessels, inclu-
ding his Majesty's ships San Domingo, La Hogue,
Maidstone, Manly, and Canso. He was subsequently,
in January, 1814,
employed in blockading at New Lon-
don, United States, Macedonian and Hornet; in May,
1814, his ship was for 37 hours on shore on Fisher's
Island, and was with ditricnity saved. He was appointed,
