DEATH OF THE HON. W. CHETWYNTL—Lord Chet-
vrynd has addressed the following to theeditor of the Morning
Herald Sir,—Having seen in your paper of Monday, which
I received this morning, an account of the deaths of
Captain Gibson, Dr. Howell, and my son, I beg to forward
you the account I received from Colonel Vanderlienlen, the
commanding officer of the 73rd Regiment, and beg that you
will either publish the whole or so much of it as will lontra-
Cot the unfortunate event having taken place in an amat .ur
excursion.—l remain, Sir, yours, CHETWYND. Teignmouth,
April 6.—P.S. I have left out parts of the letter where the
lines are drawn, as they cootaised the regrets of the colonel
and officers at the lea of their companion ; but if you should
consider it necessary to see the original, I will send it to you.
I leave it to you to make what use you like of the Maimed,
either in part or whole, and hope you will consider it suffi-
cient to justify your contradicting that my son and his un-
fortunate companions lost their hese in an amateur excursion.
I have a letter from my son, a midshipman on board her
majesty's ship Provident, at the Cape of Good Hope, stating
that Dr. Howell's horse was wounded, and that the others
would not leave him :

"CAMP ON THN KEN, HAY/INLAND, JAN. 15, 1847.—My
dear Lord,—ft becomes my painful task to announce to you
the death of your son, who was killed on the 11th inst., by
Kaffir', when in the performance of his duty, in capturing
some cattle for the troops in camp. He was detached from
tke main body of the regiment, with 20:men, to assist in
guarding provisions at the Ford, on the Kee, where they
were detained in consequence of the sudden rise of the river.
Being short of meat, a party went out in search of cattle,
and having di,covered some at a distance, the few of the
party who were mounted (imprudently and incautiously)
pushed en by themselves, six or seven only in nom-
her—via., two officers of the Rifle Brigade, Captain Gibson,
isesistant-Sureton Howell, and three burghers, with your
son ; and having secured the cattle, and driving them on,
they were rushed upon by a horde of K affirs, out of a kloof
(i. e., a ravine densely wooded), and before any assistance
could be afforrkd them by their party in the rear, five out
of the six were killed, stabbed by the swamis, the only man
escaping being one of the burghers. The bodies were brought
in, stabbed in many places. • • • • lam told they
made a desperate resistance, and killed many of the enemy,
but, having expended their ammunition, were overpowered.
—I remain, my dear lord, very sincerely yours, C. J.
SANDER MBIILEN..

ACCIDENT TO LORD BROWNLOW CECIL.—Lord
Brownlow Ceal, the second eon of the Marquis of Exeter,
who was thrown from-his horse Jack, while riding for the
Five Sovereigns Sweepstakes at the Windsor Chases, on
Tuesday, met with more severe injuries than was at first an-
ticipated. His horse which had cleared the last brook
beautifully, and had got the lead by several lengths, fell at
the second fence after the brook, throwing its rider, and
partially rolling over him. Before be could be dragged
away by the bynanders his lordship was struck by the
next horse which was over the brook, and rendered for a
short time insensible. Upon being taken to the infantry
barracks, and placed under the care of Mr. Richardson, the
regimental surgeon to the Soots Fusileer Guards, in which
regiment his lordship holds a commission, it was found that
his shoulder was dislocated, in addition to a severe sprain
of the wrist, and bruises on various parts of the body. The
shoulder was set within an hour after the accident, and,
up to yesterday morning, his lordship wu going on fa,
vourably.
