DEATHS IN IRDIA.—We regret to read in the
Bombay nines an announcement of the death of Captain G.
H. Hunt, other Majesty's 78th Highlanders, which occurred
near Minghyr, of cholera. Captain Hunt will be remem-
bered as the "hero of Ahwaz," having commanded the
detachment of three hundred men sent from MohAmreh up
the Karma River, when the extraordinary spectacle was pro-
moted of a numerous Persian Army retiring before this small
force, leasing guns and ammunition in the hands of the
victors. He had also previously served in the expedition to
&wackiest, was present at the battle of Kouehab, and wee
afterwards engaged In the pursuit of the Persian Army otter
the capture of Moluunreh. The brilliant explrot at Ahwaa
drew forth the thanks of the Governor-OmmaLwho specially
noticed Captain Hunt's gallantry on the occasion.
We learn also with sorrow the death of Lieutenant-Colonel
Atkins Homeric., of the tad (or Grenadier) Regiment N. 1.,
her Majesty's Consul and the East India Company'. Agent
in the territories of the Immun of Muscat. According to
the Boesky Casette, "Colonel Hemerton had accompanied
Captain Burton and his exploring party from Zanzibar some
distance down the coast, on their way for the greet inland
lake, when he was taken ill with severe diarrhoea, and had
to return in baste. He died four days after his arrival at
Zanzibar, and on the bth or 6th July.'
DEATH OF MAJOR Tuolue.—We regret to re-
cord the death of Major George Powell Thomas, of the 3rd
European Regiment. His death may be referred to his Ori-
ginal sickness, though no doubt hummed by hie wounds re-
ceived in the action on the bth of July. Major Thomas waa
known aa an author and artist of considerable merit, having
I published a volume of poems which were favourably noticed
both here and in Europe on their appearance some years ago;
while his "Sketches of the Himalayas" are perhaps the moat
magnificent productions of the kind that have ever been pub-
lished. Myer Thomas served with much distinction in
Agghanietan ;he commended a corps of Juroailchoes ; acid
being at home on turlough on the breaking out of the war
with Russia, he apple toe and obtained the command of a
regiment of B l.Bssouks under Gen. Brown, on which oc-
casion the QllOllll ocederred upon him the local rank of Lieut.-
Colonel in Turkey. After being in cantonments alone months
with these troops, engaged in the unless attempt to bring
them into some degree of discipline, Major Thorns, anxious
for more active employment, obtained leave to proceed to the
Crimea, when having served in the trenches as a volunteer
until the fall of Bebsstopol, the Crimean modal was added to
the ether decoration be had already won for service in Cabal.
Major Thomas was a kind.bearted man, and generally liked ,•
his abilitice were considerable, and he was a moatspirited
soldier. He has left a widow and Gamily in England to
mourn his toes ; but we are happy to say that his two elder
eons are provided for, having lately received promisee of com-
missions in the Company's army from ono of the directors.—
