DEATH OF GENERAL STRATFORD SAUNDER 6.•

Another name has fallen from the roll of our military commanders
by the demise of this distinguished officer, which took place on
Thursday last, at his seat, Golden Fort, county of Wicklow, at the
advanced age of eighty-four, sixty-seven of which were spent in the
British service. His commissions are thus dated :—Ensign, May 26,
1779 ; Lieutenant, December 2, 1779 ; Captain, September 12, 1782;

April 25, 1803 ; Major-General, June 4, 1811 ; Lieutenant-General,
July 19, 1821; and General, June 28, 1834. The gallant officer,
whose early promotion was exceedingly rapid, had seen a great deal
of service in the 'West Indies, and was actively employed against
Demerara, Saint Eustatia, and Saint Vincent. During two years
service in Martinique, he was present at the engagement!' of the
Night Gross Islet, Cul de Sac, and Carnegie. He also accompanied
General Baird's army to Egypt in 1801. He proceeded to the Penin-
sula in June, 1809, and was engaged with the army under Sir Arthur
Wellesley (now Duke of Wellington). For his services at Talavera,
where he commanded the Glst Foot, he received a medal, and in
other respects attracted the notice of the military authorities of
the day.
DEATH OF COLONEL. E. WILDMAN.—We have to an-
nounce the death of the above gallant officer, which took place sud-
denly at his house at Brighton, on Saturday last. Colonel Edward
Wildman served in the Peninsula with the 4th Dragoons, from April,
1809, to Sept., 1811, and again from July, 1812, to the end of that
war in 1814, including the battles of Talavera and Busaco, action at
Redinha, battle of Allmera, retreat from Salamanca to Portugal, bat-
tles of Vittoria, Pyrenees, Tarbes, and Toulouse. The Gallant Colonel
served also throughout the campaign of 1815, and had three horses
killed under him at Waterloo. He received two severe sabre wounds
in the head and arm, and was made prisoner at Albuera. The Gal-
lant Officer's commissions are thus dated :—Cornet, May 8,180 G;

THE LATE CAPTAIN CAMPBELL.—By the, latest ac-
counts from India, information was received of the death of Lieu-
tenant Campbell, who was stated to have been slain in the engage-
ment of the 21st of January last. The officer alluded to is now
ascertained to be Captain Arthur Wellington Campbell, second
eon of his Excellency Sir Colin Campbell, now Governor of Ceylon,
and brother of Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell, of the Scots Fusilier
Guards, and of the Hon. Mrs. Edmund Phipps. This fine young
officer being on sick leave from Ceylon, had been sent to India for
change of air. There Iris military ardour induced him to proceed to
the army of the Sutlej as a volunteer. At the time he fell he was on
his way to join the Governor-General as his Aide-de-camp. At the
commencement of the action he was struck by a cannon ball while
advancing by the side of General Sir Harry Smith. His death was
instantaneous.
