THE LATE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IN INDIA.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—May I request your aid to give publicity to a
fact, most honourable for Sir Charles Napier, which the
Indian newspapers have carefully suppressed?
When at Kurrachee. on his way to Bombay, the great
Belooch Sirdara of Scinde—the men who fought at
Meeanee and Hyderabad—waited on him to present a
sword, valued at 300 guineas.
Was this a testimony of their fear, or their admiration
of a conqueror? No, Sir. It was presented to him as a
mark of " their gratitude to him for saving them, after
the battles, from the miseries of a conquered people—
for restoring to them their rights and their possessions,"
—in fine, for the blessings of good government. And
this by Eastern men, nearly four years after he had
ceased to govern, and when he was retiring from power,
and from their country for ever!—l am, Sir, &c.,
March 11. W. NAPIER, Major-General.

the utmost decorum was displayed during the whole of the

ceremony. A very considerable number of tenant-
farmers joined the procession. The nobility and gentry of
the neighbourhood had sent communications to the family,
requesting permission to pay a last mark of respect to the
Noble Earl's memory; but the applications were most re-
spectfully declined. The Countess of Harrington arrived
the following evening. The funeral service was read in a
in
most impressive manner by the late Earl's chap lain after

out of respect to the Noble Earl.

REPRESENTATION OF TAUNTON.—We understand
it is intended by a strong body of the elec ors to send a
requisition to Mr; B. Escott, in the event f a dissolution cf
Parliament, to become a candidate for tte rppresenra!,,,on of
this borough. We have little doubt that that Hon. Gentle-
man would accede to such a request,—indeed we are c nfi -
dent that he would; and we are equally satisfied that he is,
in every respect, a " fit and proper person
" for that impor-
tant poet of honour,--Somerset County Gazette.
