SIR HORACE SEYMOUR.

Nov. 23. At Brighton, aged 59, Colonel Sir Horace Beauchamp Seymour, K.C.H. M.P. for Lisburn.

Sir Horace Seymour was a grandson of the first Marquess of Hertford, being the third son of Vice-Admiral Lord Hugh Seymour, by Lady Anna Horatia Walde. grave, third daughter of James second Earl of Waldegrave, K. G. He was younger brother to the present Vice-Adm. Sir George Francis Seymour, G.C.H.

Sir Horace entered the army in 1811, and joined the troops then serving in the Peninsula. He continued in active duty down to the close of the war. On the return of Napoleon from Elba, he was again called into service, and at Waterloo his gallantry was conspicuous in many brilliant charges made by Lord Anglesey on the enemy's cavalry, and he is said to have slain more men than any other single individual. Sir Horace retired from the service with the rank of Colonel, and subsequently became Equerry to William IV.

Sir Horace Seymour sat for many years in Parliament. He was first elected for Lisburn in Feb. 1819, and again in 1820, and sat until 1826. In 1830 he was returned for Bodmin, and again in 1831. After the enactment of Reform he did not enter the House until 1841, when he was elected for Midhurst. In Jan. 1846 he was elected for Antrim; and in 1847 again for Lisburn, which he represented at his death. On none of these occasions we believe did he encounter a contest. In the House he was a supporter of the Conservative party.

Sir Horace Seymour was twice married; first, May 15, 1818, to Elizabeth-Malet, eldest daughter of the late Sir Lawrence Palk, Bart. who died Jan. 18, 1827; and secondly, in July 1835, to Frances-Isabella dowager Lady Clinton, eldest daughter of the late William Stephen Poyntz, esq. of Cowdray House, Sussex, and sister to the present Countess Spencer.

He entered the military service of the East India Company in 1790, became a Captain in 1801, a Colonel in 1819, Colonel of his regiment in 1824, and attained the rank of Lieut.-General in Nov. 1841.

VICE-ADMIRAL NOBLE.

Oct. 24. At his residence in London, in his 78th year, James Noble, esq. ViceAdmiral of the Red.

He was descended from a respectable mercantile family at Bristol, and was the second and only surviving son of a distinguished loyalist, who sacrificed considerable property in the Royal cause during the war with America, where, after raising an independent corps, consisting chiefly of Germans employed at the iron works on his estate in the Bergen county, East Jersey, he received a bayonet wound in his right eye, and had his skull fractured in an affair with the Republicans (a calamity which deprived him, for upwards of eighteen months, of the use of his reason, and caused a majority, to which he had been nominated, to be conferred on another), and was afterwards killed by a party of rebels while holding the appointment of assistant commissary, under Sir Henry Clinton. The Vice-Admiral's elder brother, Richard, was drowned in La Dorade, a French privateer, prize to the Clyde frigate; and his youngest, Dejoncourt, a midshipman of the Vanguard 74, fell a victim to the yellow fever in the West Indies.

James Noble entered the navy in July,

1787, as first-class volunteer, on board the Impregnable 98, Captain Thomas Byard, flag ship at Plymouth of Adm. Graves; and served between Sept. 1788 and Nov. 1791, in the Termagant sloop, the Impregnable, again bearing the flag of Sir Richard Bickerton, and Ferret sloop, on the Home station. Having joined in Jan. 1793, the Bedford 74, he was employed on shore with a party of small-arm men, at the occupation of Toulon; and shared also in the partial actions of March 14 and July 13, 1795, with the French fleet; on the former of which occasions the Bedford came into close contact with the Censeur 74, and Ca Ira 80, whose fire killed 9 and wounded 17 of her people. After serving a short period with Adm. Hotham in the Britannia 100, he was nominated, Oct. 5, 1795, acting Lieutenant of the Agamemnon 64, Commodore Horatio Nelson; to which ship the Admiralty confirmed him by a commission bearing date March 9, 1786. A short time prior to the latter event he had been taken prisoner while conveying dispatches to the Austrian camp near Savona. On the 25th of the following April, having rejoined his ship, he served in her boats, with those of the Meleager, Diadem, and Peterel, at the bringing off of four vessels, laden with corn, rice, wine, powder, eight brass guns, and 1600 stand of arms, from under a heavy fire from the enemy's batteries and musketry at Loana. "It is with the greatest grief I have to mention," says Nelson, in his report of this affair to the commander-in-chief, Sir John Jervis, "that Lieut. James Noble, a most worthy and gallant officer, is, I fear, mortally wounded."

In July of the same year Lieut. Noble, who had by that time recovered and had been transferred with the commodore to the Captain 74, was invested with the temporary command of La Genie, otherwise Vernon, gun-brig. Rejoining his heroic chief in the ensuing October, he continued to serve with him as his flagLieutenant in the Captain, and Minerve, of 42 guns and 286 men; Captain again, and Irresistible 74, until March 20, 1797. In the Minerve, besides witnessing, among other services, the capture of Porto Ferrajo and the island of Capraja, together with the evacuation of Corsica, he assisted, Dec. 20, 1796, at the capture and defeat, in presence of the Spanish fleet, of the Sabina, of 40, and Matilda, of 34 guns. The former ship struck her colours after a combat of three hours and a loss, out of 286 men, of fourteen killed and forty-four wounded; the other was compelled to wear and haul off at the close of a sharp action of half-an-hour;

the collective loss of the Minerve on both occasions amounting to seven men killed and forty-four wounded. Among the latter was Lieut. Noble, severely, in regard to whom Commodore Nelson, in his letter to Sir John Jervis, thus a second time expresses himself:-"You will observe, too, I am sure with regret, amongst the wounded, Lieut. James Noble, who quitted the Captain to serve with me; and whose merit and repeated wounds, received in fighting the enemies of our country, entitle him to every reward which a grateful nation can bestow."

In the action fought off Cape St. Vincent, Feb. 14, 1797, being again in the Captain, he occupied a conspicuous position in the brilliant part enacted by Nelson and his gallant companions, with whom he boarded and assisted in carrying in succession the San Nicolas, of 80, and San Josef, of 112 guns. On the 27th of the same month his continued meritorious conduct was rewarded with a Commander's commission. His last appointment was to the Sea Fencible service in Sussex, in which he remained from May 29, 1798, until Nov. 1802. His promotion to post rank took place in April 29 in the latter year. He was placed on the retired list of Rear-Admirals Jan. 10, 1837, but was removed to the active list Aug. 17, 1840.

At last, though the "Noble" spoken of by Nelson when in his dispatches he refers to "those fine fellows, Hardy, Gage, and Noble," he has died the plain "James Noble" of the "reserved half-pay list." Vice-Admiral Noble married, first, in 1801, Sarah, daughter of James Lamb, esq. of Rye, and by that lady, who died in 1818, he had issue seven sons and three daughters; secondly, in 1820, Dorothy, daughter of the late Halliday, esq. M.D.; and (that lady dying in August, 1840) thirdly, Feb. 2, 1842, Jane Anne, widow of Edmund Spettigue, esq. One of his sons, Jeffery-Wheelock, is a Captain in the navy; and another, Edward-Meadows, a Lieutenant in the same service (1841), died, Jan. 22, 1843, at Amoy, in China, while belonging to the Serpent 16.

Sept. 25. At Truro, aged 82, RearAdmiral John Tancock.

This officer was born Nov. 14, 1769. He entered the Royal navy in Jan. 1793, as midshipman on board the Crescent 42, Capt. James Saumarez, and was present in the following October at the capture, after two hours' action, of La Reunion of 36 guns, for which Captain Saumarez was knighted. Having accompanied Sir James into the Orion 74, he also was present in Lord Bridport's action of the 23d June,

1795, and in those of Cape St. Vincent and the Nile. On the 3d July, 1797, he commanded the Orion's launch in the attack on the Cadiz flotilla.

On the 15th Aug. 1806, he was made Commander into the St. Christopher sloop, in which he took several Spanish vessels in the West Indies, and on the 25th Dec. 1807, was present at the surrender of the Danish island of St. Croix. In 1809 he commanded the Curlew 10, which was actively employed in the Sound; in May 1810 was appointed to the Mercury troop ship; and in Nov. 1811 to the Griffin brig. He attained post rank Feb. 1, 1812; and served afterwards in 1814 in the Bann 20; from Oct. 1, 1814, until Sept. 1816 in the Conway 24; and from that time to Feb. 1818 in the Iphigenia 42, which he brought home from Bombay in Dec. 1817, and left her in Feb. 1818. He was promoted to the rank of RearAdmiral Oct. 1, 1846; and in 1848 he received a naval medal with five bars.

Rear-Admiral Tancock married, in Aug. 1805, Elizabeth Catharine, eldest daughter of Samuel Goodwin, esq. merchant, of Guernsey; by whom he had issue.
