CHARLES MADDEN, Esq.
[Commander.]

A son of the late Captain Madden, of Portsmouth, agent for officers of the royal marines; and brother to Mr. Lewis Madden, master of the ceremonies at Southampton.

This officer was made lieutenant into the Wasp sloop. Captain Thomas Wren Carter, at Jamaica, Sept. 23d, 1819; appointed to the Ringdove 18, Captain George F. Rich, fitting out for the West India station, Dec. 3d, 1822; and advanced to the rank of commander Mar. 30th, 1829.



WILLIAM COTESWORTH, Esq.
[Commander.]

Was made a lieutenant on the 16th Sept. 1816; appointed to the Revolutionnaire frigate, Captain the Hon. Fleetwood B. R. Pellew, fitting out for the Mediterranean station, Aug, 20th, 1818; and advanced to his present rank on the 5th April 1829. We are informed that he was selected to superintend the mining establishment at Cata Branca, in Brazil, in 1833.



CHARLES INGLIS, Esq.
[Commander.]

Eldest son of the late Commissioner Charles Inglis, R.N., who died at Ryde, in the Isle of Wight, Feb. 27th, 1833.

This officer was made a lieutenant, July 1st, 1814, at the request, we believe, of the Emperor Alexander, whose attention is said to have been particularly attracted when reviewing the British fleet at Spithead, by a boat belonging to Captain Inglis presenting the miniature appearance of a perfect man-of-war. He subsequently served under Captains Francis Newcombe, Robert Tait, and Charles M. Schomberg, in the Chesapeake frigate, Larne 20, and Rochfort 80, the latter ship bearing the flag of Si. Graham Moore, commander-in-chief on the Mediterranean station. He obtained his present rank on the 23d April, 1829.
