THE LATE REV. I. N. ALLEN.

We regret to notice the death, at Poona, on the 23d of
April, of the Rev. I. N. Allen, senior chaplain at that
station. It may have been forgotten by many of our
readers that this is the Mr. Allen who was chaplain to
General Nott's force at Candahar, and who accompanied
the army in its triumphant march to Cabool, and so to
Ferozepore. He seemed at all times to have been en-
thusiastically devoted to his duty, and published on his
return a volume of sermons, which savoured fully as
much of the soldier as of the saint. We say this with-
out any offence. Mr. Allen was for many months in
the midst of scenes where no true-hearted man could
fail to be excited, and a good deal of the ardour of the
fight mixed with exhortations to gentleness and peace.
He received a Ghuznee medal and ribbon, and had the
permission, very properly, of the Metropolitan of India
to wear them on all public occasions, and was one of the
very few clergymen to be seen in public places with a
warlike medal on his person.
