THE ILENERALS FOR INDIA.

Major-General Windham will leave England to assume
the command of a division in India, on the 20th inst. It
is said that the gallant general received the summons to
render his services rather nnespactedly, as he was walking
on the beach at Cromer, Norfolk, but he instantly accepted
the off-,r made to him by the Commander-in Chief. Gen.
Windham was offered a simitir appointment iu the autumn
of last year, but be declined the overtures then made.
Now, however, that his country requires the services of
her bravest and ablest sons, ho has lost no time in obeying
the calls made upon him. A banquet was given to the
gallant general on Thursday night, at Norwich. In the
course of a long speech General Windham strongly insisted
upon the necessi, y of keeping up the efficiency of the army,
and not yielding to fdse notions of economy.
General William Ross Mansfield strived in town a few
days back from Warsaw, at the request of the Govern-
ment, and on Sat-irday last left Loudon for Marseilles en
route overland to Calcutta. Th s gallant officer goes out
to India to assume an important command. General
Mansfield entered the army as ensign in November, 1838.
He has seen considerable service iu India, having served
with the 53rd Regiment in the campaign on the Sutlej in
1846, and was present at Buddiwal, Aliwal, and Sobraon,
at which last engagement he was aide-de-camp to General
Lord Gougb, the Commander-in-Chief, for which actions
he has received a medal and clasps. He commanded his
regiment in the Punjab campaign in 1849, and was present
at the battle of Goojerat, and was constantly employed in
the operations on the I'eshawur frontier in 1 51 and 1852.
He was at the affairs of Nawadund, Ranglinr, and Shar-
hote, where his horse was wounded. In February, 1875,
he was appointed Assistant Adjutant-General in Dublin,
and was attached to the British Embassy at Constanti-
nople from July, 13F)5, to July, 1856. Ho was appointed
Consul-General at Warsaw in September last year, and
was given the local rank of Brigadier-General in Poland

THE LATE LIEUT. GRANT. —III our obituary will be
found a notice of the death of. Lieut. Grant, son of Sir
Patrick Grant, K.C.B. This young gentleman, we
understand, was on picket duty in advance of the can-
tonments on' the fatal mutiny at Lucknow. In a skir-
mish he was shot and dangerously wounded ; but the
native officer under him, with kindness and loyalty, en-
deavoured to protect his officer, and secreted him under
his bed. The rebels retuning, demanded the European,
and at length finding his place of concealment, dragged
forth the wounded officer, and despatched him in bar-
ba,rouetriumph and cruelty.—lnverness Qourier.
