Campbell, Lieutenant-General Sir Colin,

St. James's, 13th June. This distin-
guished officer was fifth son of John
Campbell, Esq. of Melfort, in Argyllshire,
and brother of the late Admiral Sir Patrick
Campbell. He was born in 1777, and
joined the army in 1799, when he almost
immediately entered on the active duties
of his profession. His gallantry in the
Peninsula soon won for him the notice of
his illustrious Commander, and his name
and exploits occupy no inglorious space
in the official despatches. For a con-
siderable time he held the appointments
of Assistant-Adjutant-General and Assis-
tant-Quartermaster-General; and for his
eminent services at Talavera, Busaço,
Fuentes d'Onor, Badajoz, Salamanca,
Vittoria, the Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nives
and Toulouse, he received a Cross and
Six Clasps. At the consummating vic-
tory of Waterloo, Colonel Campbell
commanded the Royal Scots and so
conspicuous was his conduct on that me-
morable occasion, that the officers of the
regiment testified their admiration by the
presentation of a sword valued at seventy
guineas, and the Sovereign conferred, in
recompense, the insignia of the Bath.
Sir Colin was also invested with the orders
of Maria Theresa, St. George, the Tower
and Sword, and Maximilian Joseph of
Bavaria. Subsequently, after acting for
several years as Lieutenant-Governor of
Portsmouth, and holding the command

of the South-West District, he was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, and finally, in 1840, made Governor of Ceylon, in which island he remained until the recent appointment of Lord Torrington. In 1836 he became Colonel of the 72nd Highlanders, and in 1838 reached the rank of Lieut. General. At the period of his decease, Sir Colin Campbell had just completed his 70th year. He married Miss Harden, dau. of Henry Harden, Esq. but was left a widower in 1838, with three sons and three daughters: the former are Col. Fitzroy Camphell; Lieut. A. Campbell, Aide-de-Camp to Sir Charles Napier in India; and Capt. F. Campbell, R.N. Of the daughters, the eldest, Maria Louisa, married first to Hon. C. F. Norton, and second, to the Hon. Edmund Phipps.

Capher, the Rev. George, Vicar of Wher

water Treatise," and his "Lectures on the Romans." Altogether his published works form twenty-five (volumes: their circulation has been very large. In 1843 the Doctor resigned his Professorship in the University, and became Principal of the New College. The death of Dr. Chalmers was very sudden. He was found on the morning of the 31st ult. dead in his bed, to which he had retired the previous night in apparent health. As the intellectual leader of the Free Church of Scotland, as an able writer and preacher, and as one of the best of good men, Dr. Chalmers leaves behind him an undying reputation. The spiritual and earthly welfare of all men was the mainspring of his thoughts and actions. His love and care extended to every class, but his heart was chiefly with the poor of his people. He devoted his great and comprehensive powers to their enfranchisement from sin and suffering. Under his influence, virtue and happiness have become the inmates of many, many cottage homes in Scotland. Chandler, William Botsford, Esq barrister at law, eldest son of the Hon. E. B. Chandler, of Dorchester, in the province of New Brunswick, 11th June. Chichester, Sir Arthur, Bart. of Greencastle. Accounts from Ireland announce the decease of this gentleman.

This eminent divine was born in 1776, and towards the beginning of the present century he commenced his distinguished theological career as Minister in the parish of Kilmany, in Fifeshire.

During this time he produced his work on Natural Theology, and his "Sketches of Moral and Mental Philosophy." His "Evidences of the Christian Revelation "Colvin, James, Esq. of 71, Old Broad street, were originally published in the "Encyclopædia Britannica," under the management of Dr. Brewster. In Glasgow his astronomical and commercial discourses, so sensible, so profound, and so Christian, proved of incalculable benefit to the moral and social improvement of his fellow citizens-aye, and to many thousands of his fellow men, both in and out of Scotland. His work on the civic and Christian economy of large towns is of inestimable value. In 1823 Dr. Chalmers accepted the Chair of Moral Philosophy in the New College of St. Andrew's, where he remained until 1828, when he received the appointment of Theological Professor in the University of Edinburgh. From the period of his settlement at St. Andrew's until his removal to Edinburgh, he published his works on "Endowments," and Dalton, Charlotte Amelia, wife of Mr. on Political Economy," his "Bridge- Francis Dalton, surgeon, and third dau.
