Married.] J. Peniche, esq., to Miss M.A, 
Prendergast, of Poole. 
Died.| Suddenly in his carriage, at Great 
Canford, near Poole, Thomas Macnamara 
Russell, esq., Admiral of the White. In ~ 
recording the death of this veteran officer, 
who had attained his eighty-fifth year, it 
may be useful to the profession in which he 
held so exalted a station, and must be satis- 
factory to his friends, to have it known that 
this gentleman had reached the highest rank 
in the navy entirely by his own merit, with- 
out the aid of interest or the protection of 
patronage ; and that, after serving nineteen 
years as a midshipman, he was advanced in 
1779 to be lieutenant; to be commander in 
1780; to captain in 1781; to reat-admiral 
in 1801; to vice.admiral in 1805; and 
lastly, to the rank of admiral in 1812. The 
services by which Admiral Russell obtained 
this rapid advancement, were at once bril- 
liant and active, of a nature to elicit the 
energies and resources of an ardent spirit 
.and an enterprizing mind; and they have 
not been entirely unrecorded. As a flag 
officer he was for some time commander-in- 
chief on the north-sea station. His blockade 
of the Texel, during the period of the 
threatened invasion of our shores, was ad- 
mirable, and it was planned and executed 
by himself. His system of anchoring, during 
the strongest gales, on the enemy’s coast, 
with sometimes three cables on end, was 
rewarded by the most complete success. 
During the neap tides, the line-of-battle 
ships for the most part rendezvoused at 
North Yarmouth, by which a saving to his 
country, in wear and tear, and probable 
loss of ships, was effected to an immense 
amount. Indeed, while the blockade of 
the Texel was the most efficient ever knowr, 
and was conducted with all the rigidness of 
a state of bitter warfare, it was marked by 
instances of the most refined and generous 
humanity, which not only procured the re-
