In the moment of victory, pierced with honourable wounds, while bravely charging the enemy with his gallant invincible regiment, Col. Sir H. W. ELLIS, 23d Regiment, son of the late Major-gen. Ellis, of Kempsey, near Worcester, and nephew of William Joyner, Esq., of Berkeley, county of Gloucester. Bred up in the army from his earliest youth, this gallant soldier distinguished himself in almost every quarter where the exertions of the British were called forth, having received no less than nine wounds in different actions, in Holland, Egypt, and the Peninsula. Upon several occasions he received tokens of his Sovereign's approbation, and rose to considerable rank at an early period of life, being not more than 35 at the time of his death.

Lieut. RICHARD MAGNIAC, of the 1st Royal Dragoons. He entered the army from a decided predilection for the profession of arms, and, actuated by a high sense of honour and a desire to distinguish himself, fell in his first campaign on that memorable day, "after behaving most gallantly." Although returned as missing in the official returns of the battle, the length of time that has elapsed without any intelligence compels his afflicted family, with the deepest sorrow, to conclude that he did not survive, and to seek the only consolation that remains to them in the testimonial of his commanding officer, "that he died like a brave and gallant soldier in a glorious cause."

Major ROBERT C. PACKE, Royal Horse Guards (second son of C. J. Packe, Esq., of Prestwould), who fell in the second charge, leading his squadron against a column of Cuirassiers. He killed the officer commanding the squadron opposed to him, and was run through the body by a private on the side of that officer. He lost one horse before, and was then mounted on a troop-horse. This brave and estimable man was continually the first among the enemy, for on the near approach he redoubly spurred his horse and quitted his station in the ranks, and dashed into the enemy's. In a previous charge he and his opponent had dismounted each other, and their horses went respectively into the ranks of their enemies. As a testimonial of his general character, and their reverence to his memory, his brother officers have caused a marble monument, from a simple, elegant, and appropriate design by Hopper, to be erected in St. George's Chapel, Windsor.

In the destructive charge of the 1st Life Guards, Captain MONTAGU LIND, of that regiment, only son of Edward George Lind, Esq., of Stratford Place, and brother-in-law to Sir Felix Agar.

In his 23d year, NEWTON CHAMBERS, son of the Hon. Jane Chambers. He was a Captain in the 1st Guards, and Aide-decamp to Sir Thomas Picton, by whose side he fell, at the close of the contest, a few minutes after that lamented General.

Capt. HOBHOUSE, 69th Regiment of Foot, second son of Sir B. Hobhouse, Bart. M.P. He had volunteered, with his accustomed spirit, to act as Sir Colin Halkett's orderly, in conveying commands to the different regiments of the brigades. Whilst on horseback, and riding about in a very hot fire, he displayed a sang froid and courage which was remarkable to all. At a most critical period of this sanguinary day, when the regiment was closely engaged with a strong body of Imperial Guard of Infantry, being a very conspicuous mark, he was struck by a ball on the cheek, and spoke no more. Thus fell, in his 25th year, a highly estimable man, and one of his country's most promising soldiers.

Lieut. WILLIAM L. ROBE, of the Royal Artillery, son of Colonel Sir William Robe, K.C.B., was one of the most distinguished members of his corps, and the profession terminated his bright career in the battle of Waterloo, near La Haye Sainte. This gallant officer entered the army the 3d of October, 1806, as a second Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery, and was promoted to a first Lieutenancy the 28th of June, 1808. During eight years of service, he was thirty-three times in presence of the enemy in action, frequently at the side of his father, or in the same field. He had the singular honour, as a subaltern officer, to be distinguished for his conduct by the Duke of Wellington, and, in consequence, a medal and clasp for the battles of the Nivelle and the Nive have been transmitted to his family. With his latest breath he sent a message to his father, to assure him he died like a soldier. The loss of such a son Sir William Robe must, as a father, ever regret; as a soldier, however, he cannot fail, with noble pride, to consider his having reared him as a service rendered to his country beyond reward. His brother officers, in testimony of their high esteem and personal attachment, have requested to raise to his memory a tablet in the Church of Waterloo.

Lieut.-col. THOMAS, 3d Battalion, 1st Guards. This worthy young soldier, who obtained his rank by merit, was at an early age placed as Ensign in the East Middlesex Militia, from which he volunteered to accompany the expedition to Holland, 1799, and received promotion for his gallant conduct there from the Duke of Gloucester, who also honoured him with his esteem and friendship.

292

At the battle of Salamanca, he was particularly mentioned in the dispatches from Lord Wellington for the gallantry of his conduct, and at the termination of the war was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-colonel. He possessed a most excellent natural capacity, leaving nothing unattained to which he had once applied; without seeming to aspire to gain esteem, he was beloved by old and young; his religion was real and unaffected, and his honour and duty to his country, never on his tongue, but ever dearest to his heart in practice.

Capt. THOMAS CASSAN, of the 32d Regiment. This gallant youth was wounded in the battle of the 18th, but concealed his situation, and continued in the field with that manly resolution, intrepidity, and disregard for personal danger, which always distinguished him. His fall is deservedly regretted by his brother officers and all who knew him. He was the son of the late John Cassan, Esq., Captain in the 56th Regiment, and had been in the 32d Regiment from Ensign to Lieutenant and Captain, and had served in the East Indies.

A fine Cornet LEMMEL SHULDHAM, of the Scotch Greys. youth, beloved and admired by all who knew him. He fell in that glorious and brilliant charge made (about two o'clock) by the Heavy Horse upon the Lancers.

June 17, near Brussels, in consequence of a severe wound on the preceding day, in his twenty-fourth year, Lieut. E. M. WIGHTWICK, 69th Regiment of Foot, fifth son of William Wightwick, Esq., of New Romney, Kent.

June 19, at Brussels, of wounds received the preceding day, Lieut.-col. MILLER, of the Guards. In his last mortal scene he displayed the soul and spirit of a hero. On being wounded, he requested not to be removed, saying the ball had done for him. He then added, "But I have the consolation of knowing that I have led on my brave fellows against the enemy, and fallen at their head." He sent for Col. Thomas, and said, "I feel I am mortally wounded; but I am pleased to think it is my fate rather than yours, whose life is involved in that of your young wife." After a pause he said, faintly, "I should like to see the colours of the Regiment before I quit them for ever." They were brought and waved round his wounded body. His countenance brightened, he smiled, declared himself well satisfied, and was carried from he field.

June 20, at Brussels, of a wound received at Waterloo,

Lieutenant-colonel STABLES, 1st Foot Guards, of Great Ormead,

Herts.

Major the Hon. FREDERICK HOWARD, 10th Hussars, second son of the Earl of Carlisle. His remains have been brought over to England. The whole afflicted family of the Earl of Carlisle were so anxious to recover, if possible, the remains of this their gallant relative, that the Duke of York wrote to the Duke of Wellington, requesting that every endeavour might be made to effect it. On inquiry, it was found that two serjeants of the 10th Hussars had interred him on the field. They were, in consequence, dispatched from Paris for this purpose, and on traversing the wide field of slaughter were fortunate enough to discover the place of sepulture, from which they immediately dug up the remains of their beloved officer, enclosed them in a leaden shell, with which they were provided, and took them to Brussels, from whence they were conveyed to England.

In consequence of wounds received in the battle of the 16th of June, Major C. SMYTH, youngest son of the late Right Hon. John Smyth, of Heath, county of York.

Major GRAHAM, King's Dragoon Guards, who fell in a desperate charge of that distinguished corps.

Capt. WINDSOR, 1st Royal Dragoons, son of the late E. Windsor, Esq., of Shrewsbury.

Capt. JAMES GUBBINS, 13th Light Dragoons, eldest son of the late James Gubbins, Esq., of Epsom, Surrey; was killed early in the battle on the 18th by a cannon-shot, which, striking his head, in an instant numbered him with the dead. He had been in the campaign under the command of the Duke of Wellington, in Portugal, Spain, and France. This gallant officer was as conspicuous for his intelligence and bravery in the field as for his gentleman-like and honourable conduct through his short but enviable career in this world, leaving behind him the most heartfelt sorrow and respect for his memory.

Lieut. JOHN GEALE, 13th Light Dragoons.

Lieut. JOHN PYM, 13th Light Dragoons, fourth son of F. Pym, Esq., M.P. for Bedfordshire. This gentleman, with the one immediately preceding, were both wounded in the upper part of the thigh, and were doomed to suffer an accumulation of misery: their cases, though utterly hopeless, were of that distressing

nature, that entail hours and days of lingering torture; but, eve in this state of deplorable agony, the knowledge of their country's glory was the dearest and most cherished theme of their conver sation and remarks, and they heard the tidings of Waterloounequalled victory!-with a joy that death itself sought in vain to strip their features of, so indelibly was the exulting expression marked upon their countenances. No two officers could enjoy a greater portion of unfeigned regret than those it is now our me lancholy office to record.

At Brussels, of wounds received at Waterloo, aged twenty-six, Lieutenant J. RALEIGH ELWES, 71st Regiment Highland Light Infantry, youngest son of the late Col. H. Elwes, and brother of Sir Wm. H. Elwes, Bart., of Tynemouth, Northumberland. He had been only ten months married to the daughter of Col. Aird, of the Royal Waggon Train.

July 29. Major W. J. LLOYD, Royal Artillery, died at Brussels, of the wound he received in his thigh in the battle of Waterloo, which afterwards turned to a gangrene. It was this noble officer's misfortune to be placed in a low, bad situation, and ground, where he could obtain little or no assistance, and exposed most severely to the enemy; but no one could behave better, or obtain more honour, than he did in his accidentally perilous

situation.

Major A. JOHN MACLAINE, 73d Foot. This officer died at Brussels, of the wounds he received in the battle of Waterloo. He was the son of Mrs. Maclaine, of Scalasdale, Isle of Mull, a lady who deserves to be celebrated for the heroism and the bravery of the sons to whom she has given birth. She had already lost two sons in the service of her country, and two yet survived, ornaments to their profession, covered with scars received in various memorable engagements. The late Captain Maclaine, who so gloriously fell whilst gallantly leading on his light company at the battle of Maida, as mentioned in Sir John Stuart's dispatches, was one of the former, and Lieut.-col. Maclaine, of the 7th West India Regiment, who made so gallant a defence at Fort Matagorda, is one of the latter. Major Maclaine, of the 73d, had signalised himself in all the actions in which this fine Highland Regiment were engaged in India, and particularly at the taking of Seringapatam. He had left the 1st battalion of it at New South Wales to come to Europe, anxious and ardent to join the second, and to "share their glories and honour," as he expressed himself, "on the Continent," His loss, in common with other brave men, his country will deplore.
