DEATHS.

1843.

JUNE.

17. Killed, at the age of 40 years, in the massacre of Wairaee, New Zealand, Richard England, esq., formerly of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge,_late Captain of the 12th Regiment of Foot, and one of the magistrates of Nelson. Protracted ill health obliged him to retire from the service; but being of an enterprising disposition he visited New Zealand, and arrived at Auckland about

DEATHS.-1843.

Christmas 1840, soon after British sovereignty was proclaimed. He took with him from the Mauritius two discharged soldiers of his own regiment, and after residing at Auckland (where not a single house had been erected on his arrival) more than twelve mouths, the superiority of Nelson in climate and agricultural capabilities led him to fix upon that settlement in preference to the Government capital. The genial and splendid climate of New Zealand, during a residence of two years and a half, so completely renovated his health, that he determined to make the colony his adopted country. At the time he joined as a volunteer the ill-concerted, and illconducted, though well-intentioned expedition to Cloudy Bay, he had made arrangements to return to his native land, to bid, probably, a last farewell to an aged mother, and only brother, the sole survivors of his family. Captain England was remarkable for his mild and amiable disposition, gentle manners, and unexcitable temperament. He was unmarried, and having inherited an ample independence, the "res angusta domi" was not the cause of his becoming a pioneer of civilization, nor did he engage in land speculations. No one took a greater interest in the welfare of the native population; and no one of the many victims of the miserable catastrophe could be a greater loss to the infant settlement of Nelson.

OCTOBER.

23. At the College, Salisbury, aged 70, Wadham Wyndham, esq., for many years one of the representatives of that city in Parliament. Mr. Wyndham was born Oct. 16, 1773, and was the eldest surviving son and heir of Henry Penruddocke Wyndham, esq., M. P. for Wiltshire from 1796 to 1812, (author of Tours in Wales and the Isle of Wight, and translator of the Domesday Book for Wiltshire,) by Caroline, daughter and heiress of the Rev. Richard Hearst, Canon Residentiary of Sarum. Mr. Wyndham was first a candidate for the representation of Salisbury in Parliament in 1813, when he was defeated by George Purefoy Jervoise, esq.,who polled 28 votes, and Mr. Wyndham 21. He was elected without opposition in 1818, 1820, and 1826, and 1830. On the agitation of the Reform Bill he was op

posed in 1831 by Mr. Brodie, and the result of a poll was-Hon. D. P. Bouverie, 31; Wadham Wyndham, esq., 27; William Bird Brodie, esq., 7. After the passing of that measure he was again returned, but was unseated on a petition. In 1835 and 1837, Mr. Brodie and Mr. Wyndham were returned without a contest; but at the last general election in 1841 they had a competitor, but who was outvoted as follows:-Wadham Wyndham, esq., 366; William Bird Brodie, esq., 293; Hon. John Ashley, 234. Mr. Wyndham was for many years an officer in the Wiltshire Militia, and was Major of the regiment when he retired from it. He was held in the highest esteem by a large circle of friends, for the strict integrity of his conduct, his popular manners, and the extreme benevolence of his disposition. Mr. Wyndham married, March 1, 1821, Anne Eliza, second daughter of Lieut.-General Sir John Slade, Bart., who survived him without issue.

NOVEMBER.

1. At the Mauritius, aged 36, Sir Robert Andrews Douglas, the second Bart. of Glenburnie, county Kincardine, (1831,) Major commanding the reserve battalion of the 12th Regiment. He was born April 25, 1807, the eldest son of the late Lieut.-General Sir Kenneth Mackenzie, K. B., Colonel of the 58th Foot, who assumed the name and arms of Douglas by sign manual in 1831, and was in the same year created a Baronet. He died Nov. 22, 1833, and was succeeded by Sir Robert, who was appointed Ensign in the army Dec. 20, 1824, purchased a lieutenancy in 1825, and a company in 1828. Sir Robert Douglas married, in 1835, Martha Eliza.. beth, eldest daughter of Joshua Rouse, of Southampton, esq., and is succeeded by his eldest son, Robert, born in 1837. Lady Douglas, with their infant children, arrived at the Mauritius from England only two days before Sir Robert's decease.

29. At Neuwied, on the Rhine, of apoplexy, Lieut.-Colonel Sir Wm. Thorn, K. H., formerly of the 25th Light Dragoons. This officer entered the army at the age of eighteen, March 17, 1799, by the purchase of a cornetcy in the 25th Light Dragoons. That corps having been sent in the preceding year to India, he joined it soon after its ar

rival in that country'; and in 1801 was promoted in the same regiment to the rank of Lieutenant. In this capacity he served under Lord Lake, Commander-in-Chief in India, through the whole of the Mahratta war, which broke out in the middle of 1803, and finally terminated with pre-eminent lustre near the Altars of Alexander, on the banks of the ancient Hyphasis, at the commencement of 1806. In all the achievements which were performed under the personal observation of his Excellency during that arduous contest, Lieutenant Thorn bore an honourable part, especially at the memorable battle of Laswaree, 1st November, 1803, where his corps particularly distinguished itself by its repeated and gallant charges. After discharging for some years the duties of Adjutant and Riding Master to his corps, he was promoted to a troop in 1807, and appointed Brigade-Major to the cantonment of Bangalore in the Mysore country, whither the 25th Dragoons had been sent on the departure of the 19th regiment from India. Here he continued until the expedition against the Mauritius in 1810, when a detachment of cavalry being ordered on that service, he volunteered with his troop, an offer which was readily accepted by General Hewit, the Commander-in-Chief, accompanied by a flattering mark of approbation of Government, in declaring that the staff situation at Bangalore should remain open for him to resume at his return. After the capture of the Isle of France, on which occasion he received the thanks of Major-General Sir J. Abercromby, Captain Thorn proceeded on the important expedition against Java, being nominated Brigade-Major to the division under Colonel Gillespie; and in the brilliant affair on the 10th August, 1811, when the strong advanced position at Weltervreeden was carried, he was wounded by grape shot: but, though still suffering from its effects, he was present with the advanced brigade forming the main attack at the memorable storm of the fortified lines of Cornelis, defended by two hundred and eighty pieces of cannon, on the 26th of the same month, and for his services received the public thanks of the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Samuel Auchmuty. On the completion of the conquest of that valuable island, he was appointed Deputy-Quartermaster-General to the British forces serving in Java

and its dependencies, with the brevet rank of Major. The year following he proceeded with the expedition against Palimbang in Sumatra, where the Sultan had committed atrocious outrages upon the European settlers. In this perilous enterprise Major Thorn accompanied that intrepid little band, who, with their gallant Commander, Major-General Gillespie, on the night of the 25th April, successfully surprised the fortress of Palimbang, defended by 242 pieces of cannon, of which they held possession till reinforced by the remainder of the British troops in the morning. On the termination of this expedition, Major Thorn was employed in the heart of the island of Java against the strong fortress of Djocjocarta; which was carried by assault after a severe contest on the 20th June the same year. In this service he obtained the public approbation of the Supreme Government, and of the Commander-in-Chief, Sir G. Nugent, as well as of the local authorities, civil and military. Major Thorn returned to Europe for the recovery of his health, which had suffered much from his exertions in a long and very varied service, and from the effects of a tropical climate. Notwithstanding these circumstances, the interest he took in that momentous crisis of European politics, united with professional zeal, incited him to hasten to the Continent, and march as a volunteer with the British army to Paris. He afterwards employed himself in arranging the notes taken by him of his military career, and as the result gave to the world two important works, one entitled "Memoir of the Conquest of Java, with the subsequent Operations of the British Forces in the Oriental Archipelago, 4to, 1815;" and the other, "A Memoir of the War in India, conducted by General Lord Lake, Commander-in-Chief, and Major-General Sir Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, 4to, 1818," both illustrated with numerous engravings. He was promoted to the local rank of Lieutenant-Colonel on the Continent, October 13, 1825.

Lately. At Bath, of malignant scarlet fever, Miss Ellen Pickering. Miss Pickering had attained considerable popularity as a novel-writer. She was the authoress of "Nan Darrell; "The Fright; "Friend or Foe; "The Expectant," and other works,
