The public will have 1./arnt with regret the death,
caused by a wound rece'ved at Sebastopol, on the 18th
of June, of a distinguished' riffle( r of the British army,
Colonel ,T(.lin Lowth,- of the 3Sth Regiment. CJlonel.
Lowth was the third son of the ReV. Robert Lowth,
who was for many years the rector of the parish of fin-
ton Ampner, in the ecnnty of Hampshire, and Canon of
St, Paul's, London, and was a grandson of that erudite
Hebrew scholar and ornament of the church in the see
of Loi;don, Dr. Lowth. Col. Lowth was educated at
Winchester College and at Sandhurst, where he signa-
lised himself by his attainments in military drawing and
fortification. From Sandhurst he was appointed to an
En-igncy in the 38th Regiment, and at once joined it in
India ; and he was with it in the principal' a t of the Bur-
mese war in 1825-26, and to the close of it, being present
in the actions of Sembike and Nepadie and at the attack
and capture of Melloon and of Pegg= Mew, obtain.
ing the Ava medal. He returned with the 38th to Eng •
laud in 1836, and served with it subsequently in Ca-
nada, the West Indies, and in the Mediterranean, rising
step by step in it until he commanded it at various times
in the absence of ;his senior officer, the late Sir John
Cuppbell. It is not too much to say that Colonel
Lowth, wherever he was quartered, whether at home or
a',road--auti he was. never away from his regiment---
proved himself by the o mmon consent of all to be a
most able officer, at the same time that he kneW how to
attach to him and gain the confidence of both offiners
and men, by an admirable mixture of decision and of
kindness.
