MAJOR-OENEItAI. SIR DAVID OCIITIZIII.ONY.

OF:NE:RAI. ORDER,
IT Tilt RIGHT HON. Tilt GOVEKI4OIt•GCNERAL V: CoI:NY It.
Political Department, 28th of July, 18 /I
The Right Honourable the Governor-General in Council has
learnt with great sorrow the demise of Mrjor.Gerieral Sir David.
•
Ochterlony, resident in Malwah and Rajpootana. This melancholy
event took place en the morning of the 15th instant, at Meerut,
whither he had proceeded for the benefit of change of air.
On the eminent military services of Major-General Ochterlony,
lit would be superfluous to dilate. They have been acknowledged
is terms of the highest praise by successive Governments; they
justly earned a special and substantial reward from the Honour-
able East India Company ; they have been • recognized with ex- •
pressions of admiration and applause by the British Parliament.
and they have been honoured with signal marks of the approbation
of his Sovereign.
With the name of Sir David Ochterlony are associated many of
the proudest recollections of the Bengal Army ; and to the r-nova
of splendid achievementi he added , by the attainment of the highest
honour, of the Military Order of the Bath, the singu7ar felicity of
opening to his gallant companions an access to those tokens of
Royal favour which are the dearest objects of a soldier's ambition.
The diplomatic qualifications of Sir David Ochterlony were nut
less conspicuous than his *jury talents. To an admirably vigor-
ous intellect, and consummate address, he united the essential re-
quisites of an intimate knowledge of the native character,language,
and manners. The confidence which the Government reposed in
an individual gifted with such rare endowments was evinced by the
high and responsible situations which lie successively tilled, and the
duties of which be discharged with eminent ability, and advantage
to the public interests.

Dovsa, JANUARY B.—Arrived his Majesty's packet
the SPlTstas, and the Medusa steam-vessel from Bou-
logne, with passengers ; amongst whom were Mr.
STUART WORTLEY, and the Honourable Colonel and
Lady CAROLINE CAPELL. This morning, as same of
our boatmen were launching a boat from the beach to
go off to a vessel in the Roads, a tremendous sea struck
her with such violence, as to upset and dash her against
one of the jetties, by which one of the boatmen, of the
name of Reader, was caught between the boat and the
jetty, and had one of his thighs broken, and the other
much bruised : he has a wife and large family, who are,
for a time, deprived of his support. Early this morning,
the steward of the Henri IV. French steam-packet, who
ha i the watch on deck, was missing, and, up to the
present time, oohing has been heard of him ; and it
being conjectured that he had been blown overboard
in the gale, drags have been employed in ibiliiirbour
ithnut success.
