Of European troops iu India and this paucity

(From the London Times, 7th inst)
The nation will receive with the deepest
sorrow the news that the gallant Uavelock is
no more. This is, indeed no common loss.
Many brave man has laid down his life
| since the beginning Of the Indian troubles,
but not one will have left behind him such a
memory as the General who, on the 25th Of
November succumbed to disease, brought on
by exposure and anxiety.
General Havelock survived only few days
the relief of Lucknow. On the 10th the
women and children we're taken from the
Residency, and six dayc later he was corpse.
lie did not live to hear Of the high value
which his country set upon his deeds, or TO
receive the hoDors conferred on him by the
Grown. His family he leaves to bis country,
and his melancholy death shows how just
were the forebodings OF those who demanded
that the pension accorded to him should be
continued to his son.
The Gazette contains dispatches received
at the East India House. gives the names Of
number Of officers, commissioned Off.

The Daily News asks why the telegraphc
despatch Of the Secretary to the Supreme
Government Of India had not been published
as usual, and it hints that government is
practising timid and unwise policy Of con-
ceGment
The Daily News says it is clear from the
last intelligence, that the final suppression OF
mutiny in Hindostan is not so near rs the
adulators have been trying to persuade us.
HAvELoCE's FAMILY.
The Globe says, that as General Havelock
died on the 25th November and the baro-
netcy was conferred on the Goth, it may be
an error TO describe Capt. Huvelock rs Sir
Henry Marcham IIayelock, Bart. Lady
Haveock is Lady Havelock by reason OF
Sir Henry having been previously created a
X. G. b. The grant voted by Parliament is
also not yet completed, the bill having been
postponed till after the recess. Some entirely
new arrangement must therefore, be come
to and il is needles TO say that the Govern
ment asa Parliament, in providing for bis
family, will give every consideration to the
long and distinguished services OF General
llavelock.
The Advertiser has a paragraph, stating
that Lady lavolock and her daughters are
now residing at Bohn, on the Rhine. They
repaired thther some weeks ago, aud meant
to remain some lime ia Germany. 1t is q
curious circumstance that, about six or seven
weeks ago, Lady llavelock. who, up to that
time, cherished the firm conviction that her
husband would not only come triumphantly
through the campaign, but that she and her
daughters should soon meet him in England,
then became the victim Of powerful pre-
sentiment, Of which she was unable to rid
herself, that she should hear Of his death
before many weeks had elapsed. Sir Henry
has LEFT three sons ana three daughters.
Al the London papers have leaders on
the death of Gen. Havolo2k. accompanied by
memoirs Profound regret continues to be
expressed for the loss sustained by the coun-
try.
FRANCE.

death Of HaY1lock.
The minstral organ hints that France will
not stop the slave trade.
France aud Spain have agreed upon pro-
ceediugs against Cochin China.
