Engineers selected to proceed to St. Helena for the
purposeing oafdrdeiptiaoinrainl gwotrlikes present
of
defence

taennd-
e erecting
tion of that island, together with the Royal Artil-
lery and the reinforcements for the St. Helena Regi-
ment, will emhark at Gravesend this day on board
the Ackbar., which has been chartered by the Go-
vernment to convey the troops to that island. The
officer selQcted to proceed in charge of the detach-
ments is Capt. E. C, Barnes, St. Helena Regiment.
The Royal Engineers take out with them a large
quantity of sapping and mining implements,
together with all the necessary tools that will be
required by them in throwing up the batteries and
raising the works of defence, in which operations
they are expected to be engaged some time.
Lieut.-Col. Gibbon, R.A., has been appointed to
the command of the Royal Artillery in the eastern
district, and has joined the staff at the camp at Col-
chester. A number of invalided soldiers from India
have arrived at the camp during the past week.
Lieut. Stokes, of the 38th, and Ensign Sunderland,
of the 44th Regiments, having obtained first-class
certificates from the school of musketry, his Royal
Highness the General Commanding in Chief has
appointed them rifle instructors to their regiments,
and they will proceed at once to join their respec-
tive corps, the former to India, and the latter to
China. A small party of married men of the first
battalion Ist Royals, with their wives and families,
left the camp on Friday for Plymouth, en route for
Madras. Lieut. Dew, of the 88th, and three ser-
geants, two corporals, and five privates of the 9th
battalion, and three sergeants, two corporals, and
five privates of the 10th battalion are to hold them-
selves in readiness to proceed from the camp to the
School of Musketry.
A further effort was made on Friday night last
for the benefit of the widow and orphans (nine in
number) of the late Corporal Coombes, of the Royal
Artillery Band, who precipitated himself from a
window of the Regimental Infirmary, while suffer-
ing under an aberration of intellect. General Sir
Richard Dacres, Commandant of the Garrison;
Colonel Walpole, Commanding Royal Engineers,
and the principal influential members of the town
and garrison, attended a concert given for the
abovenamed purpose in the Artillery school rooms.
The whole of the performers had humanely volun-
teered their services, and every inducement was of-
fered to render the effort of advantage to the bereft
family. The undertaking was extremely successful,
realising upwards of £3O, which will be handed
over in aid of the distressed family.
We regret to notice the death of the Hon-
ourable James Lyon Browne, late lieutenant-colonel
of the 21st Regiment, which took place on Wed-
nesday last at Harrogate, at the early age of
38. The gallant deceased was the eldest son ofLord
Kilmaitie, and commenced his military career in
1843 as second lieutenant of the 21st Foot (Royal
North British Fusileers). On the war breaking out
with Russia Lieut.-Col. Browne accompanied his
regiment to the Crimea, and was present at all
the engagements in which it took part, including
the siege-of Sebastopol, for which he recived the
war medal and clasps, and was decorated by the
Sultan of Turkey with the order of Medjidie (sth
class). The gallant officer's commissions bore date
as follows :—Second-lieutenant, Jan. 14, 1842 ; lieu-
tenant. Nov. 8, 1844 ; captain, Dec. 22, 1848;
major, Dec. 29, 1854 ; and lieutenant-colonel, April
24, 1855.
