THE LATE LIEUTENANT GENERAL SIR ALAN CA. IERO N, K. C. B. COLONI:L OF THIC 79TN, OK Ca MKKON Ilwittanorns. Among Ole Intl“ary net tales lidve .ti , u wished thent4elves during the last half century, perhaps few individuals have equalled the late Sir Alan Cameron in bravery anti energetic zeal. By birth a Highlander—in heart and soul a true one—in from anti frame the bold and manly mountaineer—he early acquired cowideralde influence in.his native glens. Ardent and persevering in whatever he undertook, when the American war began he devoted himself entlits-iastically in his country's cause. Unlottunately, however, when on detached service, he was taken prisoner of war, and immured 'indict iirely, for nearly two years, in the common gaol of Philadelphia, under the plea that he had been engaged in exciting the native tribes in favour of Great Britain. In attempting to escape from a confinement so much at variance with the usages of war, Sir Alan had both his andel' broke and shattered, and he never perfectly recovered front the painful effects of those injuries. Sir Alan was subsequently placed upon half•pay, as a provincial officer. Roused by th, alums and danger,: of 1793, Sir Alan Cameron, principally by his personal influence over the minds of Highlanders, in little more than three months patriotically raised the 79th, or Cameron Highlanders. In accomplishing this, no burden was thrown upon the public. Sir Alan Cameron defrayed the whole expense out of his own pri ♦ate funds; no bounty money whatever having been drawn from Government. His officers also were taken front the half-pay list, our was any promotion upon that occasion allowed. In August. 1793, Sir Alan was appointed Major-Commandant of this his clan regiment; and in January, 1794, Lieut.-Calonel Commandant of the same. At the head of his regiment, during the Litter year, be joined the army in the Netherlands, under the Lite Duke of York. In 1795 Sir Alan proceeded to the West Indies, then powerfully menaced. Very severe losses were there sustained by his regiment, and the brave soldier bad the mortification of seeing the remnant of his corps shaughted chiefly into the 42d Regiment. Sir Alan therefore returned borne. Su sensible, however, was his late reoyal Highness of the value of his services, that he was immediately com missioned to raise the Cameron Highlanders anew, which, by un ceasing exertion, and considerable pecuniary sacrifices, he proudly accomplished in little more than six months, notwithstanding the advanced period of the war. • In 1799 Sir Alan again served with his regiment on the Conti nent, under his Royal Highness the Duke of York, whom be ever proudly considered as his best benefactor. In the battle of Bergen-op Zoom, Sir Alan was twice severely wounded. In 1800 Sir Alan Cameron served in the expeditions to Ferrol, Cadiz, &.c. ; and, in 1801, at the bead of his brave men, he shared the dangers anal glories of Alexandtia, and endured the hardships and perils of the Egyptian campaign. In 1804 Sir Alan and the officers of his • regiment, In the course of only a few months, and solely by recruiting, raised a strong 2.1 battalion of 800 rank and file, for general service. lie was re warded, in consequence, with the rank of Colonel, on the Ist of Januat y, 1805. In the descent upon Zealand, Sir Alan, by order of Lord Cath cut, took military possessiun of Copenhagen, at the head of the flank companies of the army. In 1808, Sir Alan accunipatiied his gallant countryman, Sir John Moore, as Brigadier General, on the expedition to Sweden ; and in 10118, to the Peninsula. Advancing from Portugal with reinforce ments, he was placed in a most critical situation by the sudden and unexpected retreat to Corinna ; nevertheless, he succeeded, under going great fatigue and enduring great privation, in marching his Pace, which bad been considerably augmented on its route by con valescents and stragglers, in safety to Lisbon. This very farce is generally consideted very materially to have assisted the Duke of Wellington in the successful attack which his Grace soon afterwards made upon Sault, at Oporto. At the battle of Talavera, Sir Alan had two horses shot under him, when he took post by the colours of one of the regiments of his brigade; and throughout that arduous and eventful day never, indeed, were energy and gallantry mutt. conspicuously and effec tively displayed. The action at Bunco war the last In which Sir Alan Cameron was engaged. He commanded a brigade, in which his own regi mem, present with him, bore also a part : extreme ill health theta compelled him to retire from the active service of his country for ever. Oo the 25th of July, 1810, Sir Alan was appointed a Major- General; after the peace, a K.C. H.; and on the 12th of August, 1819, be was made a Lieutenant- General. A great sufferer in body front severe irfirmities. contracted by continued exposures and fatigues on service, Sir Alan nevertheless lived to an advanced age. But he was doomed to see his family drop around him—his youngest son, *lieu his Aide-de camp, early in the Peninsula campaign, from privations and fatigues—lns eldest, when gallantly leading on thin immediate advance of the British army at Fuentes d'Onor—his nephew and his orphan &random, both of whom perished from the baneful affects lit West India.' service; the former was he who, holding °lily the rank of Lieute nant, bravely led on the Cameron ilighianders at the battle rt Waterloo, when all his Superior officers had been either kited or wounded. Of bis own immediate male kindred; Sir Mal has left only one son, Lieutenant-Colonel Cameron, who, until the close 04 the war, when the corps was d.shanded, commanded the td batta lion of the Cameron Highland rs, and woo tutiowed to the grave the worn-out remains of Ws Niel and vet.-raft prem. CONFESSION AND EXECUTION OF MOSES SHEPPERD. This unhappy young man, although he evinced eon siderable fi• nines. during his protracted trial, imme diately on Je ? virig the bar appeared much affected. and on being visited by the Chaplain, shortly after his return to the Gaol, he was grear:y agitated, and generally at. knowledged his guilt. On the following morning he entered into particulars, and stated that jealousy was the only motive which actuated him, and that he had meditated the crime a very short time before he pe.pe crated it. On the evening of the murder he accom• partied Harmsworth fr. m Brockhurst,.having a case knife in his pocket. The evidence of the witnesses tracing him within a short distance of the fatal spot was titre. He first knocked down his victim with a large nick, and instantly accomplished his curpase with the knife he had previously prepared. After the murder he proceeded to his sister's, whom he did no; see, and left the yarn in the shed, as stated on she 'trial. HJ neat went to the public-house at Elson, and then re turned to his father's house, and whilst his father was gone to Gospoit,-on Sunday moaning, he wa•liesl and wrung out the sleeves of his coat and ilia, both of which were stained with blood. He ezpie:sed the greatest coldrition I. r his crime, and was frequentl) overwhelmed with agony. He attended the Chapel on Sunday afternoon uith the other convict under sen tence, when the Rev. Chaplain preached torn Psalm li. v. 14. s• Deliver me from my h10..d-guiltiness, 0 Goo. the Gou of my salvation.' The discourse seem to matt •a. very ceep impression on all present. Ariel Di•iiie Se.

HUNTING. TT. J..lliffe, E-q's. Fox Hounds meet to-morrow, at She!wood; Thursday, at Platt Given ; and on Saturday, at Chep.tead. The Surrey Fox Hounds on Thursday, at Limpsfield; and on Saturday, at Crown Ash Hill. As we were pursuing our course tip the St. Laventnee, a man at the hew cried Nut, " a large buck a-bead," *nil sur • enough there was one with a set of antlers of the most respectable magnitude. Ile was in the act of swimming from one island to another, and the head above water appeared like the . stump of a tree, the branching hones representing the roots. In an instant a boat was launched, anal proceeded with as much expedition as four oars could make it. This was an exhibition of the ancient and noble pastime of deer hunting on a new field. The deer, on perceiving itself pursued, re doubled its efforts to get to one of the islands before its enemies could reach it, in which case it would in all likelihood have been safe. This, however, it could not accomplish. The rowers gained upon it every stroke. When they gut very near it, it tried to double and g-t out of the course which they were pursuing, and once or twice gained something on them by SO doing ; but it was all in vain. The boat at length got so near that one of the rowers was enabled to strike it a severe blow on the be-al with an oar. Before it could recover from the stun, the blow was repeated, after which it was pulled on board and Its throat cut. Two were caught in this man ner that morning.—arrespondent of Ow Glasgow Chronicle. SPARRING BENEFIT. Joe Fishwlck, the ('ommis►ary of the Ring, took his benefit yes terday at the Tennis Court, and bad a most respectable muster of the Fancy, and the Sparring was superior to anything of the sort we have witnessed for some time. Among the exhibitors were— Sutto►► and Mason—Decidedly in favour of Sutton, who hit blaster Mason groggy. Foot and O'Donnell—A merry, bustling affair, but not much science. Ned Mason and Murphy—A regular glove mill, and no tender ness on either side. At closing, Ned challenged Murphy to fight for fun, and in all probability they will come together. Scotch Robinson and the Cheshire Hero—Both big men, but the slashing get away hitting of the Caledonian enabled him to get the better of his opponent. The Bristol Baker and the Woolwich Baker—These heroes, al though so intimately actelainted with a dead" men, proved them ' selves '• alive: at all points, and hit away in good style. The Woolwich man, who showed for the first time in the Court, proved himself to possess eacellcnt boxing requisites, stopped well with his right, and returned admirably with his left ; he showed great steadi ness In his defence, and was active on his legs ; being rather the taller, he had the advantage of the Bristol boy, and kneaded his " dough" to some purpose; he can be backed against Jem Stotk man for £25. Dick Curtis and the Coal-beaver—Dick's late opponent, the Black Diamond, of whom so much has been said, came forward to spar with the Pet. lie ha.l much better have stopped at home ; for although he showed game, hr had nut the shadow of a chance.— Dick's one, two, right and left. were in his face every moment, and his.only`return was boring Dick with his head down against the rails. Ails friends were quite satisfied that he was out-generalltd. kle does not, in fact, posstu any science, and left off with his nose out of tune. Curtis was rapturously applauded. Coaly weighs about ten stone and a half. Tom Olivet and Isaac Blum made an excellent scientific set-to, and stopped and bit with yea' neatness. They were much applauded Young Dutch Sam and a Cual.h —Sam found another easy customer in a brother Black Diamond of Coaly's, and in two roam& hit him so tremendously in the nozzle, that he set his claret flowing so copiously, as to rrnder•a cessation of the game absolutely neces sary. It was a severe lesson, and will, no doubt, teach novices to pause in future, before they seek sparring fame. Finney, the Irish Wrestler, and the West Country Pewterer gave a man ly specimen of rough work, and hammered each other with a degree of vigour which surpassed a juke. A lick Reed and Bob Castles closed the sports with a beautiful dis play of science, in which the art of self-defence was never more happily illustrated. The stopping and hitting on both sides were extremely fine. Castles, from his length, had rather the best of it. ROWING MATCH. An excellent smaller.' wager took place yesterday, between Mr. Harris and Mr. Willitistone, two Gentlemen amateurs, for live guineas a-side, to row with tide front Waterloo Bridge to Battersea Bridge. ..At starting 11r. Harris took the lead, closely tollowed by his adversary, and on coming opposite Hungerford stairs, Mr. Willinstone came up, and continued working upon Mr. Harris's quarter, until both had passed through Westminster Bridge 'sirs Hartia.then again shot a-head, but both boats were even at Vauxhall Bridge. It was now evident that Harris was the best straight smaller, although hia adversary had the superioi ny of fouling. The match was, atter a severe struggle, decided in tavour of air. Harris, he beating his adversary by a boats length. Owing to the fineness of the weather the contest was well attended.
