ISI3.  "I beg (says Lard Lynedocb, in his despatch to the Duke of Wellingior), to recommend to your Lordship Lieut. Colin Campbell, of the 9th, who led tVe forlorn hope, and who was severely wounded on the breach. Lieut. Campbell's section consisted of twenty-five, and, with one exception, every man of it was either killed or wounded. I. the long period of five-and-forty years which have since elapsed, Sir Colin Campbell has served his country in almost every quarter of the globe,—daring fourteen of them in India and China. How be led his column at the Alma, spared his men, and defeated the enemy op. posed to him, is fresh in the recollection of the public, as suorfpfiasitsyed t hboyu shisthousand n d relief m etn ponil posted as ttttihehvde garrison the is also his conduct at Balaclava.

We except only the two hat Ales of Sir Charles Napier, but not the one battle of Great Captain, who wanted when be fought it, tor it was his first, the quarter of a century's longer experience of Nap'.er and Campbell. Our Indian battle., t• deed,have too often consisted in the mere hurling of Breish battalions against artillery in position, the re. Lance being on the heart and arm of the soldier, and not in the head of the general. The pluck of our forefathers, before the invention of gunpowder, would have enabled them to win such fights ae these with Asiatics, eves with the cross-bow, the pike, or the broadsword. Sir Colin has done already a great deal, but be has much more to accomplish ; be has not only to conquer a kingdom more populous and incomparably more full of resources than his own native country, swarming with a e arlike population and bristling with !fortresses Ho has, moreover, to raise, organise, and disciptine a loyal and effective army in the room of one that was formidable only to its employers. The country prays for the preservation of a life so valuable, and perhaps rather too freely exposed to danger. The popular vows are the more earnest, as if Sir Colin Campbell should unhappily fall, it is impossible to see, far or near, a commander worthy to succeed him.
