Durham, and was born in 1;85. His mother was a daughter
of James Best, Esq., of the same county, and he is brother
to the late Baronet, the Rev. Sir Charles Hardinge, whose
son succeeded to the Baronetcy in 1836. At an early age he
evince.' a strong disposition for a military life—a disposition
which his parents, with praiseworthy discernment, thought
fit to encourage, and he was therefore educated with much
care for the noble profession
.in which he so soon and so
greatly distinguished himself. Ills valuable services in
Spain and Portugal are repeatedly .the subject of warns com-
mendation in the dispatches of his illustrious commander ;
and at that momentous crisis in European affairs when the
Prince of Orange proposed levying arlarge body of troops, it
was to Captain Hardinge that Lord W ellington recommended
his Royal Highness to apply for counsel.and assistance. Sir
aleenry-was present in person at the following actions or battles,
at each o,f which he more or less distinguished himself, re-
ceiving several severe wound! :—Busaco, Albuera, Badajoz,
Salamanca, Vittoria, the I yrenees, Nivelle, Nive, and
Orthes ; he was also at Waterloo, and at the terrific engage-
ment at Ligny he lost his left arm, fur which he receives a
pension of 3001. For his services in the Peninsular he was
rewarded with a cross and five clasps, and from 1809 to 1813
he was Deputy-Quartermaster-General of the Portuguese
army. He has likewise received several foreign orders. In
1827 he married the sixth daughter of the first Marquis of
Londonderry, relict of John James, Esq., and mother of the
present Sir W. James, ar
Bt, M.P. In 1823 he was a ppointed
Clerk of the Ordnance, which office he continued to fill until
1818, when he was made Secretary-at-War. In 1830 lie was
appointed to the important post of Secretary for Ireland,
which he resigned at the dissolution of the Duke of Wel-
lington's Administration, and in 1834, during the brief Ad-
ministration of Sir Robert Peel, he was again selected to fill
that office. On the accession of the Conservatives to power
in 1841 he was re-appointed Secretary-at-War. Sir Henry
became a Lieutenant-General in the, army in November,
and obtained the Colonelcy of the 57th- Foot in 1833.
He has represented several boroughs in Parliament, but has
sat for Launceston since 1832. He is known to have long
enjoyed,the intimate personal friendship and esteem of the
Duke of Wellington.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT...7A most dreadful accident
occurred yesterday in a colliery near Llanolly. It ap-
pears from the particulars we, have been able to gather,
that between two and three o clock yesterday afternoon,
the engine in the r enbwlchgwyn colliery, about two
miles from Llanelly, caught fire. After a short time the
engine, with a tremendous crash, MI into the pit, shut-
ting out every chance of escape for the hundred men
and children who were working in the pit. All at-
tempts to put out the flames were vain. Exertions to
extricate th© sufferers were used incessantly, but at
eight o'clock last night not one of them was got out of
the pit. It is much to be feared, therefore, that every
soul has perished.—Welshman of Saturday.
TILE EARL or RIPON.—We are happy to state that
the Noble President of the Board of Control has nearly re-
covered from his late attack of illness.
