FROM the London Times, Zee.
Our readers will learn with much regret the death OF
Lieutenant Philip salkeld of the Bengal Engineers, who
recently displayed such daring and gaantry firing the
siese train at the Cashmere gate Of Delhi He gradually
sunk under the wounds which he received that
sion, and died at Delhi about the 10th Of October.
Philip Salkeld Dorsetshire by and
parentage His father was the Rev. r. Saked who
some years ago resident at Servan, lie ct vane and his
horn m tba nf atat tha
time Of his death he had only dst completed the 27th
year Of his age. He obtained his nomination to the ser
vice from the late Mr.. william Asell, father OF one
| Of the present directors Of the East India Com

| Royal Military College of Addiscombe, where no
selected for the Engineers in lsi7, and presented
| at the same time with the highest prizes in mahe
mates and French On quitting Addiscombe he vent to
the Royal Engineer establishment at Chatham, where he
remained for nearly two years studying the theory Of
gneering aud fertilization lie quilted that institution in
January, 1850 and arrived at Calcutta in the following
June when he Joined the corps Of Sappers and Miners
In June 1863 he selected to ocate executive
gineer at Meerut, and in the following November
transferred to the charge Of the Grand Trunk road
| which he was continually employed down 10 December
last when he succeeded TO the office Of executive engn
Of the Delhi division. He joined the force before Delhi
shortly after the death of General Anson, and was
cally thanked by General Sir Archdale Wilson for his
daring exploit in blowing open the Cashmere gate-an
operation equally difficult and dangerous, and for which
he rewarded the spot with the Victoria Cross We
deeply regret that the name Of able intrepid and
promising officer Lieutenant Saked should have
been added to the already long list OF those who have paid
