TO TIM EDITOR OP TIP IMPRESS.

SIR,—In your beautiful notice of this regiment,
the name of " Arnold " several times mars. The
young officer alluded to, Lieutenant Henry Nelson
.Arnold, son of the Rev. Charles Arnold, rector of
Tinwell, Rutland, whose death has been recently
noticed in the papers, deserves more than a passing
comment. He was the first to arrive at Allababad
in command of his company, and turn the scale in
favour of order, having arrived on the opposite aide
of the river by native conveyances, and whilst pre-
paring to swim or wade moos with his men, wu
fortunately taken over by a small steamer just in
time. He was then selected by his colonel, the
gallant Neill, to accompany Captain Spurgin in the
steamer up the river with a detachment of the
Fasilias and Artillery. This expedition is noticed
in your columns yesterday, but never before hu
been mentioned; it shows, however, the activity of
Neill, as the steamer took stores and provisions for
the benison at Cawnpore, and nearly reached
that place—a most wonderful achievement at
that time of year—when the river was low.
When close to Cawnpore it became known
that the place had surrendered, and the steamer had
orders to return and accompany and protect the ad.
vanoing forces by keeping close to the banks of the
river. Afterwards young Arnold was again selected
by Neill to take 100 picked sharpshooters of the
regiment up the river and clear the banks, which
was performed mournfully, the party landing °cot.
isionally, and with their Enfield rifles actually
silencing anall fleld-pieces brought against them.
Young Arnold afterwards fought through the seve-
ral engagements under Havelock, in which his regi.
ment was engaged, and although unwounded had
his clothes riddled with shots, and saw his men fall
around him on every side. His end yon have de-
scribed, being the first intimation his friends have
had respecting it, beyond the mere official notice of
his being "severely wounded," and "since dead."
Thanking you, with many others, for your notice of
the regiment-1 am, &c., A RELATIVE.
