We have enumerated above the Charts of Capt. Fitz-Roy, which with those noticed in our last, form the series including the South American coast,—the plans and detached charts of parts in the Pacific Ocean we shall reserve for our next, with our remarks thereon. In our volume for 1836, we noticed the first two of the series of the West Coast, the work of Capt. King, which Captain Fitz-Roy, in the Beagle, has thus continued to the northward.

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS,

ADMIRAL CHARLES WILLIAM PATERSON, alluded to in our Obituary, was born in 1756, and at the early age of nine he entered the service under his relative, Captain the last Earl of Marchmont. In 1777 he was made Lieutenant, and served in America during the whole of the war between that colony and the mother country, under Lord Howe; becoming a Master and Commander in 1782. In this period of his life he assisted at the reduction of Long Island, and the capture of New York; in the expeditions up the North and East Rivers, at the taking of Philadelphia, and subsequently at the capture of St. Eustatia in the West Indies, On the breaking out of the French Revolution, he was posted by Lord Hood, at the occupation of Toulon, and the subsequent destruction of the French fleet, in that arsenal, and then assisted at the reduction of Corsica, under the gallant Lord (then Commodore) Nelson. During the continuance of that war, Captain Paterson commanded successively the Gorgon, Ariadne, Melpomene, Admiral de Vries, Montague, and St. Fiorenzo, and in the latter ship, for two seasons, had the honour of specially attending on George the 3rd, on his customary summer visits to the sea side, at Weymouth. At the peace of Amiens, he went into retirement. In 1810, the gallant deceased was appointed

to the important charge of Portchester Castle, then the depot place of confinement of many thousands of French prisoners; and in 1811, he took the command of the Puissant, at Spithead, till he attained his flag in 1812, since which he has not been called on to serve. He leaves a widow, with two sons, both in the service, and a daughter, married to the eldest son of Sir W. Wiseman, Bart., to lament the loss of a kind husband and affectionate father.

CAPT. G. GOSLING, RN., of our Obituary, was midshipman of the Ganges, at Copenhagen, 1807, and in the York in 1839, assisted at the reduction of Martinique. When Lieutenant of the Milford, assisted at the surrender of the principal ports and islands of the coast of Dalmatia, and when in the Havana was actively engaged of a convoy at Vasto, and in the reduction of the strong fortress of Zara. At Guadaloupe commanded the Muros sloop. Subsequently he commanded the Ontario against the pirates on the coast of Cuba. In 1809 he was made lieutenant, commander in 1815, and captain in 1825.

MR. HENRY TRACEY, Assistant-Surgeon, alluded to in our Obituary, was carried off by a severe attack of dysentery, while attending, with his usual kindness and assiduity, such of the crew of H.M.S. Melville, as had from the ill state of their health been sent to the Victoria, (transport,) during the time of her heaving down. He was followed to his final resting place, on an island in the anchorage, by many, whose experience of his private and professional merit, both on the Cape of Good Hope and other stations, will render his loss a lasting source of melancholy reflection.

ASIA, Capt. W. Fisher, 17th March arr. at Spithead.

Should no extraordinary despatch be required in sending the Indus, Monarch, and Vernon, (each a few men short of complement) to sea, it is generally supposed that the London will be Commissioned to receive such of the "Asia's"

as may volunteer another tour of service in their present ratings. This noble ship has been in commission five years, and for discipline and

efficiency, particularly the essential point of gun-Indus, Asia, Vernon, Pique, Tweed, nery, might challenge comparison with any vessel in the British Navy, or in the world. She has ever been what is called a comfortable ship, the officers and men pulling together with mutual esteem and respect. Few of this fine crew will, we imagine, be inclined to encounter the over-work and ill-treatment of the merchant service for a few shillings more pay, after experiencing the comforts and advantages of a man-of-war, when discipline is maintained without severity, and every man who performs his duty sure to be respected and encouraged. COCKATRICE, Lieut. J. Oxenham, commissioned at Chatham.

INDUS, 84, Capt. Sir J. Stirling, 6th March moved out of harbour to Spithead. PIQUE, 36, Capt. Boxer, 17th March arrived at Spithead, 18th sailed for Chatham.

Notwithstanding that the Pique is jury-rigged, she has beat every vessel she has contended against, (including the Asia,) on or off the wind, in weathering or forereaching. She has no defects except those caused by the fall of the masts, and is expected to be ready for sea again in a month, or less if required.-Naval and Military Gazette.
