SKETCH OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR CHARLES

JAMES
hat he
His long white beard tells that he must have seen full sixty
Years in various climes ; but his bright penetrating eye also
tells that he is in the intellectual vigour of middle age, al-
though the survivor of thirty-four of his people who had been
struck with coup de sold!, and who, with one exception. were
dead corpses in three hours. A head which a phrenologist
would delight to take a cast from exhibits a sword-cnt which
the thinness of the hair cannot conceal; a long raised scar at
the side, and a smaller in front, indicate that a musket-ball
had traversed his face ; an involuntary motion of the muscles,
the effect of other wounds received in the Wellington school,
keep his hand and arm in perpetual motion. On his breast is
seen a gold medal, inscribed " Cerunna," surmounted with
clasps bearing the names of other fields. Peering from be-
neath a broad red ribbon, from which is suspended a Grand
Cross of the Bath, are seen two medals, on one of which
Meeanee" is written, on the other " Hyderabad." At his
side is a superb gold-mounted sword, presented by the Earl
of Ellenborough, in token of his Lordship's personal esteem,
and commemorative of the brilliant services in India, per-
formed under his Lordship's administration.—Naval and
Military Gazette.
