THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT Dr SHEERNESS.-
Captain Charles Hope, (1826,) echo has been ap-
pointed to succeed Commodore Michael Seymour as

served afloat about 22 years. The following is
O'Byrne's notice of his family and career :-
" Charles Hope, horn in 1798, is second son of the
Right Hon. Charles Hope, Lord President of the
Court of Session in Scotland, by Charlotte, daughter
of John, second Earl of Hopetoun ; nephew of Lieut.-
General Sir John Hope, G.C.H., sed of Vice-Ad-
miral the Right Hon. Sir William. Johnston Hope,
G.C.8.; brother of William Hope, Esq., a major in
the army and captain in the 7th Foot ; and first
cousin of the late Captains William James, Charles
James, and George James Hope, R.N. This officer
entered navy June 24, 1811, as second-class volun-
teer, on board the Sarpedon, 10, Captain James
Green, on the Leith station, where he removed, in
the following November, to the Adamant, 44, flag-
ship of Rear-Admiral William Albany Otway. In
April, 1812, he became midshipman of the Semi-
ramis, 36, Captain Charles Richardson, bearing the
flag afterwards of Rear-Admiral Charles Tyler, at
the Cap- of Good Hope. On his return home in
August, 1814, he joined the Chatham, 74, Captain
David Lloyd, lying at Portsmouth, whence, towards
the close of the same year, he sailed for North
America in the Erne, 20, commanded by the late
Lord Napier. In the course of 1315 he was suc-
cessively received on board the Endymion, Taguq,
and Alceste, frigates, Captains Henry Hope, James
Whitley Deans Dundas, and Murray Maxwell ;
under the latter of whom he accompanied
Lord Amherst on his embassy to China, and was
wrecked, while returning home with that nobleman
in the Straits of Gaspar, Feb. 18, 1817. Obtainiug
his first commission on the 20th of the following Oc-
tober, he was next, Feb. 22, 1818, appointed lieute-
nant of the Liffey, 50, Captain the Hon. Henry Dun-
can, in which ship he visited the Mediterranean, and
cruised for some time off Lisbon. After serving
with Captain Charles Adam in the Royal Sovereign
yacht he was invested, Oct. 15, 1822, with the rank
of commander, and on Feb. 28, 1824, nominated to
the Brisk, 10. In the month of September following
he captured, off Flamborough Head, a large smug-
gling lugger, with a cargo of considerable value.
Captain Hope, whose advancement to post-rank took
place Jan. 20, 1826, was subsequently appointed,
Oct. 21, 1830, to the Tyne, 28, a vessel in which he
served on the South American station, and, prior to
being paid off, in January, 1834, passed over 82,000
miles, a greater distance than bad been traversed by
any vessel since the war ; Jan. 24, 1835, to the Dub-
lin, 50, fitting at Plymouth, where he was superseded
in the ensuing July ; and Aug. 28, 1841, to the Tha-
lia, 42. He was employed in the latter frigate, on
the East India and Pacific stations until the close of
1845, when she returned to England, and was put
out of commission ; he has since been on half-pay.
Captain Hope married, Sept. 12, 1826, Anne, eldest
daughter of the late Rear-Admiral William Henry
Webley Parry, C. 8.,
by whom, who died Dec. 24,
1836, he has issue."
