March 19. At Chowringhee, in India, Lieutenant-Colonel Archibald Campbell, of the 26th regiment of native infantry, son of the late Dugald Campbell, Esq. of Kintarbert. We extract the following paragraph from a Calcutta newspaper announcing his death :-" Died on the forenoon of the 19th instant, at his house in Chowringhee, Lieut.-Colonel Archibald Campbell, of the 26th regiment native infantry, after a short but extremely severe illness, which he bore with that placidity of temper and resignation to the Divine will which characterised him through life. Gifted with excellent natural abilities, and always conspicuous by an active and intelligent discharge of the duties of his profession, this officer was at an early period of his service in India selected for situations of high trust and responsibility, and preserved throughout a long and distinguished career of public life the strictest integrity and the most unblemished honour. Combined as these superior qualities were in this instance with a remarkable warmth of heart, and a disposition so uniformly humane, considerate, and kind, that it was felt by all with whom he had any intercourse. It may be safely asserted, that it has fallen to the lot of very few to live so ge

nerally respected and beloved, or to die so deeply and sincerely regretted.
