DEATH OF GENERAL J. GRANBY CLAY, K.C.---To
the long list of general officers who have died within the
present month, we have to record the demise of the
above gallant and venerable field-officer, who died a few
days since, at his own residence, in Exeter. The de-
ceased General was in his 80th year. and had been 64
years in the army. He entered the service early in
November, 1782, and when captain we find that he was
with his regiment in the West Indies in 1794, when he
assisted at the taking of Martinique and St. Lucia, and at
the storming of Morne de Pierre he gallantly led the
" forlorn hope;" also at the siege and reduction of Forts
Louis and Bourbon. Having displayed much energy and
bravery, he was recommended to the commander-in-
chief, and the next year was promoted for his services.
He accompanied the expedition commanded by Sir J. Pul-
teney to Belleisle, Ferrol, and Vigo Bay. In 1801, then
lieutenant-colonel, he proceeded with his regiment, the
3d Foot, to Egypt, shared the honours of the campaign
of 1801, under Sir Ralph Abercrombie. He was present
in the actions of the 13th and 21st of March, at which
latter engagement with the enemy Sir Ralph Abercrom-
bie received his death wound, and assisted at the siege of
Alexandria, including several other engagements of less
importance during that campaign. For his distinguished
servic in Egypt he received a medal, and had the order
of the Crescent conferred on him by the Tuikish Go-
vernment. The deceased general was in the receipt of
pensions for his distinguished services. The subjoined
is the date of his commissions :—Ensign, Nov. 6, 1782 ;
lieutenant, April 30, 1788 ; captain, April 18, 1794 ;
major, September 16, 1795 ; lieut.-colonel, Jan. 1, 1801 ;
colonel, July 25, 1810 ; major-general, June 4, 1813 ;
lieutenant-general, May 27, 1825 ; and general, No-
vember 23, 1841.

We are sorry to perceive that the Wilderspin
Tribute Fund has not yet reached the minimum amount
at which it has been deemed practicable to effect the
double object of giving ease to the remaining years of
Mr. Wilderspin himself, and making some provision for
his family after his death. Of the small sum of 2,0001.
required for this purpose, only 1,3001, has been yet con-
tributed,—Leeds Mercury.
