526 appointments, notably that of deputy assistant-adjutant- general of the forces in Burmah till the peace of Yandabo, of which he, with Lumsden and Knox, procured the tatifi- cations at Ava from the ‘Golden Foot,” who bestowed on him the “gold leaf” insignia of Burmese nobility. His first command had been at a stockade capture in the war, and he was present also at the battles of Napadee, Patanago, and Paghan. He had also held during his lieutenancy various interpreterships and the adjutancy of the king’s troops at Chinsurah. In 1828 he published at Serampore Campaigns in Ava, and in 1829 he married Hannah Shepherd, daughter of Dr Marshman, the eminent missionary. About the same time he became a Baptist, being baptized by Mr John Mack at Serampore. During the first Afghan war he was present as aide-de-camp to Sir Willoughby Cotton at the capture of Ghazni, Jnly 29, 1839, and at the occupation of Cabul, After a short absence in Bengal to secure the publication of lis Memoirs of the Afyhan Campaign, he returned to Cabul in charge of recruits, and became interpreter to General Elphinstone. In 1840, being attached to Sir Robert Sale’s force, he took part in the Khurd-Cabul fight, in the celebrated passage of the defiles of the Ghilzees (1841), and in the fighting trom Tezeen to Jellalabad. Here, after many months’ siege, his column in a sortie en masse defeated Akbar Khan, April 7, 1842. He was now made deputy adjutant-general of the infantry division in Cabul, and in September he assisted at Jugdulluk, at Tezeen, and at the release of the British prisoners at Cabul, besides taking a prominent part at Istiliff. Having obtained a regimental majority he next went through the Malratta campaign as Persian interpreter to Sir Hugh (Viscount) Gough, and distinguished himself at Maharajpir in 1843, and also in the Sikh campaign at Mudki, Firozeshah, and Sobraon in 1845, For these services he was made deputy adjutant-general at Bom- bay. He exchanged from the 13th to the 39th, then as second major into the 53d at the beginning of 1849, and soon afterwards left for England, where he spent two years. In 1854 he became quartermaster-general, then full colonel, and lastly adjutant-general of the troops in India. In 1857 he was select2d by Sir James Outram for the command of a division in the Persian campaign, during which he was present at the actions of Mohummarah and Ahwaz. Peace with Persia set him free just as the mutiny broke out; and he was chosen to command a column ‘to quell disturbances in Allahabad, to support Lawrence at Lucknow and Wheeler at Cawupore, to disperse and utterly destroy all mutineers and insurgents.” At Futtehpur, July 12th, at Aong and Pandoonudee on the 15th, at Cawnpur on the 16th, at Onao on the 29th, at Buserutgunge on the 29th and again on August 5th, at Boorhiya on August 12th, and at Bithoor on the 16th, he defeated over- whelming forces. Twice he advanced for the relief of Lucknow, but twice prudence forbade a reckless exposure of troops wasted by battle and disease in the almost impracticable task. Reinforcements arriving at last unler Outrim, he was enabled by the generosity of his sup2rior officer to crown his successes on the 25th of September 1857 by the capture of Lucknow. There he died, November 24, 1857, of dysentery, brought on by the anxisttes and fatigues connected with his victorious march, and with the subsequent blockade of the Bricish troops. Ee lived long enongh to receive the intelligence that he had been created K.C.B. for the first three batiles of the campaign; but of the major-generalship which was shortly afterwarls conferred he never knew. On Novem- ber 25, before tidings of his death had reached England, letters-patent were directed to create him a baronet, and a pension of £1000 a year was voted at the assembling of parliament. The baronstcy was afterwards bestowed upon his eldest son; while to his widow, by reyal order, was given the rank to which she would have been entitled had her husband survived and been created a baronet. To both widow and son pensions of £1000 were awarded by parliament. See Marshman’s Life of Lfavelochk, 1860.

There he remained till 1721, when he succeeded Gronovius in the Greek chair at Leyden, becoming shortly afterwards professor of history and rhetoric also, He died at Leyden, April 23, 1742.

1em  HAVERFORDWEST (in Welsh Hwelefordd), the chief town of Pembrokeshire, a seapoit, market-town, parlia- mentary and municipal borough, and county by itself, is picturesquely situated on a hill overlooking the West Cleddau river, 8 miles N.N.E. of Milford, and 276 miles W.N.W. of London. The town is clean and well built, though somewhat irregular, owing to its position. Its principal buildings are the guildhall and the markct-house, both modern, and the church of St Mary, one of the finest churches in South Wales. The old church of St Martin is close to the castle, of which, built on a rocky eminence overhanging the river, only a wall and the keep remain, the latter with considerable additions being till lately used as the county prison, It was built by Gilbert de Clare, first earl of Pembroke; and during the insurrection of Owen Glen- dower was defended for Henry IV. against the French allies of the Welsh. Jn the civil wars of the it was held by the royalists. The castle was visited in by Giraldus Cambrensis and Archbishop Baldwin. Below the end of the Parade, a public walk overlooking the river, are the ruins of a priory of Black Canons of the order of St Augustine, dedicated to St Mary and &t Thomas. Dating from the it was endowed though not founded by Robert de Hwlffordd, whose liberal grants were confirmed by Edward UT. The old wall and fortifications that formerly surrounded the town have totally disappeared, On the north side of the river is the suburb of Prendergast, containing the remains of an ancient mansion, formerly occupied by a family of that name. Haverfordwest is the seat of an assize court and quarter sessions, and with the contributory boroughs of Fishguard and Narberth returns one member to parliament. The river is navigable as high as the bridge for small craft. Timber, tea, and spirits are imported, and coal, cattle, butter, and grain are exported. In, the Flemings, who had been driven from their own country by inundations, were settled in this locality by Henry I, and the Flemings who had served under Stephen afterwards increased the colony. Their influence is still to be traced in the non-use of the Welsh language among the townspeople, and in the peculiar shape of the cottages in the surrounding country. Population in 1871, 6622; area. 1430 acres.  HAVERHILL, a in , , , is situated on the north  of the  , 18  from its , and opposite the s
