DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL APLIN.—This distin-
guished veteran, as hose death is announced, was
2d son of Admiral of the White,Peter Aplin, and
was born April 23, 1790. He entered the navy as a
volunteer on board the Eurydice, 24, March 9, 1801,
thean
fiatthifitchaetiornanokf tohfe Peaeeof
Amiens in the' East IndieS, was removed at once
theto Terpsichore,ari4 the vio7itl 32,w
renewal of hostilities came into
midship-
man,d, andr
frequent collision with the enemy. In August, 1805,
being off St. Denis (Isle of Bourbon), he assisted
in one of three boats sent into that port for the pur-
pose of cutting out the French corvette La Tur-
burette, a service which was completely effected,
though the enemy had sheltered their vessel
within pistol shot of several heavy batteries whose
fire was destructUre to the British. Mr. Aplin re-
ceived the thanks of the commander-in-chief, Sir
Edward Pellew, whom he joined (after a further
service with Captain Bathurst in the Pitt, 36) on
board the Culloden, 74, ire August, 1807. Before
many dap, however, he tsar appointed acting-
lieutenant of the `Psyche frigate, and thence was
transferred to the Arrogant, 74; Captain the Hon.
Henry •DaVesen. Soon after hig official promotion
(February 13, 1808) he invalided, and remained on
half-pay till 1510, in the coarse of which year and
1811 he successively joined the San Josef, 110, flag-
ship _of Sir Charles Cotton, and Avonside, 38, Capt.
R. D. Dunn, on-the home and Mediterranean sta-
tions. In May, 1813, he assumed command of the
Arrow schooner, 12 guns, in which he shortly at-
tacked a convoy under the protection of two bat-
teries of Quiberon, at which place he captured the
Marie Antoinette and the Vierge Marie. Anchor-
ing subsequently under the batteries close to the
harbour of Mer de Fife, in the Ile de Re, Mr. Aplin
successfully managed, under the guise of an Ame-
rican privateer, so thoroughly to deceive the autho-
rities that his boats were enabled to enter the port
and bring out the largest of the enemy's vessels, Le
Bon Samaritan. In the same year he was employed
on shore under Sir G. Collier, at the siege of St.
Sebastian, and conducted the blockade of San-
tona so efficiently that although the enemy pos-
sessed in that port a schooner, a corvette, and
two gunboats, they were unable to destroy one of
the British vessels constantly passing. From the
period of his being made commander, Capt. Aplin
remained on half-pay until December 13, 1823,
when he was appointed to the Grasshopper, 18.
Le this sloop hp went to Newfoundland, and as-
sumed the command of a small souadron, to the
satisfaction of Sir Willoughby Lake, commander-
in-chief, and of the Admiralty, having discharged
several extra-official duties in consequence of the
abolition of the civil departments of the navy, and
of the absence of the Governor. He obtained post-
rank January 28, 1826 ; and, having held no further
appointment, accepted the retirement October 1,
1846. He obtained hag-rank April 15, 1854.
Admiral Aplin married in 1816 Anne Elizabeth,
Nou n gest daughter of Vice-Admiral D'Auvergne,
Duke de Bouillon, by whom he had issue three
sons, one of whom is in the army, and another in
the Navy.

witness gave the prisoner into custody. The com-
plainant declared he had not insulted or annoyed
either man, and one was as much a stranger to
him as the other. The first man walked away
while he was being assaulted by the prisoner.
Mr. Knox said it was one of the strangest
cases that had ever come before him, and asked
the prisoner what motive he assigned for the
assault ; but, though the question was repeated, all
that could be obtained; from him was a careless
denial that he had struck the complainant at all.
A bricklayer named Yates, however, put the fact
beyond dispute, for he not only confirmed O'Donnell
as to the nature of the blow, but also as to its seve-
rity, and Mr. Knox sentenced the prisoner to pay
the full penalty of 1.:5, or in default to be sent for
two months to the House of Correction.
