254 SIR RODERICK I. MURCHISON'S ADDRESS. [May 23, 1859. 



He died in his sixty-sixth year, sincerely regretted by every 

 one who knew him. 



Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., who died in June last, at the age 

 of 83, was the eldest son of Admiral Sir Chaloner Ogle, who, like 

 his deceased son, died the senior Admiral in the British navy. Sir 

 Charles Ogle took deep interest in, and was a munificent contributor 

 to, the different charitable institutions connected with the naval 

 service, and had been for many years President of the Royal Naval 

 Benevolent Society. 



Vice- Admiral Percy Grace, a distinguished officer of the old war 

 time, was the brother of Sir W. Grace, Bart. 



He began his naval career in 1801 on board the Ganges^ 74, and 

 was present at the battle of Copenhagen. He next served on the 

 East and West India and North American stations ; and when in 

 the Greyhound^ distinguished himself at the capture of the Pallas 

 French frigate and two armed Indiamen. He was then wrecked, 

 and became a prisoner at Manilla and Batavia. Being in the com- 

 mand of some boats as a Lieutenant, he captured two Malays, after 

 a shai-p fight, and was wounded. In the boats of the Semiramis 

 frigate, he contributed to the capture of five French vessels, four 

 miles up the Gironde; and about March, 1810, he received the well- 

 merited thanks of his captain for the part he took in the capture 

 of Le Pluvier of 16 guns. It was not till June, 1814, after having 

 seen more service on the coast of North America, that he was re- 

 warded with the rank of Commander. In command of the Cyrene 

 he displayed much activity on the coast of Africa and in the Medi- 

 terranean ; and subsequently he became senior officer in the Levant. 

 He was made Post Captain in 1825, and had been an Admiral a few 

 years when he died, to the regret of numerous friends. 



Captain Sir William Peel, r.n. — Of all the naval worthies who 

 have recently been taken from us, no one has been so mourned for by 

 the nation as that chivalrous and noble seaman William Peel, the 

 third son of the late illustrious statesman. It is not for me to 

 attempt to detail his daring exploits in the Black Sea, or when in 

 heading the Naval Brigade in the late Indian warfare he showed 

 what efficient services could be rendered to the army by his hearty 

 and devoted co-operation. 



Serving at St. Jean d'Acre as a midshipman, under Admiral Sir 

 E. Stbpford, he obtained the rank of Commander in 1846. After 

 distinguishing himself in the Black Sea and Crimea, where he was
