Field Marshal Viscount Combermere, G. C.B,

The public will have learned with pleasure that
this venerable and gallant veteran is the subject of
a proposed monument, commemorative of his military
career and his private worth, about to be erected in
Chester by public subscrption. A list of contributors
has already appeared, and their numbers are daily
increasing. Meetings have been held in the Castle
of Chester to decide upon the form the intended
memorial shall take, the locality to be chosen, and
the artist to whom the work shall be entrusted.
The Lord Bishop of Chester, the Earl Grosvenor,
and the leading names of the county are upon the
committee appointed to confer on the subject with
Baron Marechetti, the proposed sculptor.
It may be interesting at this moment to recapi-
tulate the several services in the career of this
distinguished soldier. Lord Comberatere is the
eldest son of the late Sir IL Stapleton Cotton, M.P.
for Cheshire. He was born in the year 1770, en-
tered the army in 1791, and served in Flanders in
the campaign of 1793-94. Two years later he em-
barked for the Cape of Good Hope, tinder Sir T.
Craig, in command of the 25th Light Dragoons,
and, accompanying his regiment to India, went
through the campaign of 1798.99, against Tippoo
Saib, and was present at the siege of Seringapatam.
In 1808 he accompanied Lord `Vellingto❑ to the
Peninsula in command of a cavalry brigade; here
he particularly signalised himself during the cam-
paign in the north of Portugal, and in the opera-
tions of Oporto, and afterwards at the battle of
Talavera; In the following year he was promoted
to the rank of lieutenant general, and in 1810
he was appointed to the command of the forces
under the Duke of 'Wellington. In this position
he remained till the close of the war in 1814, dis-
tinguishing himself at the head of the cavalry
upon every occasion, and being frequently men-
tioned in the dispatches. He covered the
retreat from Almeida to Torres Vedras, and
took part in tat) battles of Busaco, Fuentes
d'Oeor, and Salamanca, where he was severely
wounded; and also in those of the Pyrenees, Orthes,
and Toulouse. In 1817 he was appointed governor
of Barbadoes, and commander of the forma in the
West Indies, which ho exchanged in 1822 for the
chief command of the British forces in India, where
he was at the head of the troops at the siege and
capture of Bhartpore in 1825.26. A peerage had
been granted to him for his Peninsular services, and
he was then raised to a viscountcy for his Indian
exploits. Oa the death of the Duke of Wellington
he was appointed constable of the Tower of London,
and lord lieutenant of the Tower Hamlets, and in
1855 was advanced to the rank of field marshal in
the army. His lordship is a G.C.B. ; he also holds
an appointment in the Court as gold stick in wait-
ing to her Majesty. He is now reposing in the
quietude of his Cneahire home, rich in years, and
full of honours, after a period of active military ser-
vice extending far beyond the average life of
man.
