It was the first watering-place on the coast of Devon, and is frequented, not only for bathing, but also as a winter residence by those suffering under pulmonary diseases, as it is cele brated for the mildness of its climate, and is well sheltered from the N.E. and S.E. winds by some high hills which rise almost close behind it. The old town, originally only a fishing village, has been altered and improved by new buildings. It lies along the base of the Beacon hill. The new town is built along the slopes of the hill arid consists of terraces and detached houses. The sides and walks in the neighbourhood are remarkably beautiful, and the hill commands one of the finest views in the south of England. Exmouth possesses .a handsome church, and has assembly rooms, baths, libraries, and other essentials of a fashionable watering-place. Its sea wall, which is 1800 feet long and 22 feet high, affords an admirable promenade. Near the town is a natural harbour, called the Bight. The population of Exmouth in 1871 was 5614. Exmouth was early a place of importance, and in 1347 contributed 10 vessels to the fleet sent to attack Calais. It at one time possessed a fort or " castelet," designed to command the estuary of the Ex. This fort, which was garrisoned for the king during the civil war, was blockaded and captured by Colonel Shapcoate, in 1646. EXMOUTH, EDWARD PELLEW, VISCOUNT (1757-1833), an English admiral, was descended from a family which came originally from Normandy, but had for many cen turies been settled in the west of Cornwall. He was born at Dover, April 19, 1757. At the age of thirteen he entered the navy, and even then his smartness and activity,. his feats of daring, and his spirit of resolute independence awakened remark, and pointed him out as one specially fitted to distinguish himself in his profession. He had> however, no opportunity of active service till 1776, when, at the battle of Lake Champlain, his gallantry, promptitude,, and skill, not only saved the " Carleton " whose command had devolved upon him during the progress of the battle from imminent danger, but enabled her to take a prominent part in sinking two of the enemy s ships. For his services on this occasion he obtained a lieutenant s commission, and the command of the schooner in which he had so bravely done his duty. The following year, in command of a brigade of seamen, he shared in the hardships and perils of the American campaign of General Burgoyne. In 1782, in command of the "Pelican," he attacked three French privateers inside the Isle of Bass, and compelled them to run themselves on shore a feat for which he was rewarded by the rank of post-captain. On the outbreak of the French war in 1793, he was appointed to the " Nymphe," a frigate of 36 guns ; and, notwithstanding that for the sake of expedition she was manned chiefly by Cornish miners, he captured, after a desperate conflict, the French frigate " La Cle opatre," a vessel of superior size to his own and better armed. For this act he obtained the honour of knighthood. In 1794 he received the command of the " Arethusa," and in a fight with the French fleet off the Isle of Bass he compelled the " Pomona " to surrender. The same year the western squadron was increased and its command divided, the second squadron being given to Sir Edward Pellew. While in command of this squadron he, on several occasions, performed acts of great personal daring ; and for his bravery in boarding the wrecked transport " Dutton," and his promptitude and resolution in adopting measures so as to save the lives of all on board, he was in 1796 created a baronet. In 1798 he joined the channel fleet, and in command of the "Impe- tueux," took part in several actions with great distinction. In 1802 Sir Edward Pellew was elected member of parlia ment for Dunstable, and during the time that he sat in
the Common he was a strenuous supporter of Pitt. In
