Vie 38th men shot officers, but only of other

receives orders not to leave their ships at Bombay
and Madras, but proceed on to Calcutta, where

THE LAT 8 CO ONEL RINNIS.

Colonel Finnis of the 11th Native Infantry, who
was shot down by the mutinous soldiers of the 20th
Regiment, at the outbreak of the revolt at Meerut,
was the last surviving brother of the present Lord
Mayor of Loudon, and the third who has fallen in
the service of their country. The elder brother,
Robert, a captain in the British navy, was killed
in an engagement on Lake Erie, in 1813 ; and an-
other, Stephen, a lieutenant in the Bengal Native
Infantry, fell in India in 1822. Colonel Finnis,
though only in his 54th year, had been in active
service in the army upwards of 32 years, during
which period, besides serving at the siege and taking
of Mooltan, and in several other engaaements, he
missions. The
was employed on many important mi
colonel was with his regiment in command at Alla-
haba,d until ordered to Meerut, where he had ar-
rived only a few days before the outbreak which
closed his career. With kind consideration for the
feelings of his bereaved family, the Governor-
General has transmitted the following letter to the
Lord Mayor :—..

" Government House, Calcutta'
May 20, 1857.
" My Lord Mayor—Painful as the intelligence which I
have to convey will be to your lordship, it may be in some
measure satisfactory to you to receive it from myself.
" The melancholy death of Colonel Finnie, who, in the
recent mutiny at Meerut, in the north-west provinces of
India, fell mortally wounded, not by the men of his own
corps, but by the rebellious soldiers of the 20th Regiment,
while in the act of addressing the troops who had brroken
out in open revolt, is the source of the deepest regret to
the Government, which he served so long and so zealously.
" This regret will be shared by many. I can say this
with confidence, for I have hoard much of your brother's
high character and ability, and as an officer of native
troops he was noted for the good feeling, tact, and useful
Influence which have marked his command of Sepoys. He
was the last man who should have died by their hands.
" I venture to think that it may be some poor consolk-
tion to you to receive this assurance from the head of the
Government which your brother served.
" I have the honour to be, my Lord Mayor,
" Your Lordship's faithful servant,
" CANNING."
