captures of slave vessels by his active cruising. He
paid off the Crocodile in 1842, and was flag captain
to his father at Devonport from 1842 to 1845, during
which time he most ably commanded the old Cale-
donia, 120, in the experimental trial sailings. In
1846 the present admiral of the fleet, Sir Charles
Ogle, selected this excellent officer as his flag cap-
tain at Portsmouth, when, in the subsequent trial
sailings, he commanded the flag ship St. Vincent,
120, and afterwards as flag captain to Sir Charles
Napier ; commanded the St Vincent in the experi-
mental fleet until he was called to Whitehall by his
appointment as a member of the Board of Ad-
miralty in December, 1847. For more than 10
years Admiral Milne has been a member of succes-
sive boards—one of the working bees of the hive ;
he has had various departments under his superin-
tendence, and the improvement and progress that
have been made in each and all mark the value of
his services to the navy and to the Government.
It will not be forgotten that he was the superinten-
dent lord of the transport and victualling depart-
ment of the navy during the late war with Russia,
when it may be fairly said the admirable arrange-
ments of the navy saved the army from starving.
He has ever been a most valuable authority on all
matters of business, and is generally regarded as
one of the most hard-working public servants.

J N'T3A RY 21,

come near us ; we at the same time assisting his
movements by keeping up a tremendous fire upon
the town, and taking by storm some large palaces
in the direction he was approaching us by. We then
destroyed all that we could not remove, and, carry-
ing away everything in the shape of guns and
ammunition, and some round shot, taking with us
23 lacs of treasure, and some 40 lacs of the King's
jewels, which had been previously seized by poor
Sir H. Lawrence, we marched out of the place at
night, Sir Cohn removing his force immediately
afterwards to a position about four miles from the
Residency. We then marched to Alumbagh, which
bad always been held the whole time we were shut
up, and which had been as much shut up as we had
been. From Alumbagh we marched towards this
place, carrying with us all the poor Lucknow wo-
men and children (some 500 to 600 souls), and
all the treasure, ammunition, dm, leaving Sir James
0 utram with about 3, 500 men and 25 guns occupying
a position near Alumbagh, which he has possession
of. The possession of Bunnee he also holds; the rea-
son of our marching so expeditiously was because
the Gwalior rebels, amounting to some 12,000 men,
with 35 or 40 guns, were besieging Cawnpo.•e. We
marched from Bunnee straight to the river, starting
at daylight and getting into camp by dark, having
gone from 29 to 30 miles—a long march, hampered
as we were with all those poor families and long
trains of treasure, &o. On reaching this we found
the Gwalior rascals in possession of the town, and
our troops under the Redan hero (General Wind-
ham) shut up in the entrenchments we had made on
the river bank. By great exertion we crossed the
river, and encamped on this side during yesterday.
The enemy still hold the town and all the ground
on the opposite side of the canal, near the church
and old infantry parade grounds, stretching away
up the river towards Bithoor. We shall have to
turn them out of course, and I have no doubt shall
give them a precious good licking. In the mean-
time the rascals have stopped our d6,lc and tele-
graphic communications with Allahabad, and I am
extremely doubtful of this letter reaching you, but
write in the hopes it may do so."
