Lieut.-Colonel Hardy, late of the 19th Regiment of Foot, whose death we have previously recorded, entered the Service in 1800, at the early age of 15, as Ensign in the 12th Regiment of Foot, and joined that corps in the East Indies the year following; he was promoted to a Lieutenancy in 1802, and to a Company in the 3rd Ceylon Regt in 1804. In 1809 he exchanged into the 19th Regt. of Foot, then serving in Ceylon, and on the arrival of General Sir R. Brownrigg as General and Commander of the Forces, he was appointed principal Aidede-Camp. In 1814 he was promoted to the rank of Major by brevet, and was appointed by Gen. Brownrigg his Military Secretary; in which important and confidential situation he obtained the entire confidence and sincere esteem of that distinguished officer. In 1815 General Sir R. Brownrigg was compelled to invade the territories of the King of Kandy, which, after the capture of that tyrannical monarch, were annexed to his Majesty's maritime provinces, and on that occasion, at the recommendation of Sir R. Brownrigg, this Officer, with a few others of his rank, obtained the rank of Lieut.-Colonel, and to show further the regard entertained of this officer by Sir Robert, he was soon afterwards appointed Deputy Quartermaster-General in Ceylon. About two years after, the most formidable rebellion, and the most alarming to Government, from the extraordinary difficulties of that country, which baffled all former European powers to conquer, broke forth quite unexpectedly, and at a time when Government was so ill prepared to put it down, from the small force upon the island, and the impossibility of receiving any reinforcements from the Continent of India; but all these difficulties were surmounted by the strong, active, and energetic mind of Sir R. Brownrigg, with such a Quartermaster-General, who proved on this occasion how deservedly General Brownrigg placed so much confidence in him. His intrepid conduct on that service, and able management of the department over which he presided, tended in the highest degree to the crushing of that rebellion, and the complete conquest of that most difficult country, which, till then, had certainly not been conquered. In 1820, he was compelled from ill health to accompany Sir R. Brownrigg to England; and having been appointed to a Majority in the 16th Foot, by purchase, he exchanged to half-pay, to allow of his returning to his situation of Deputy-Quartermaster-General; but in 1826, he was again obliged to leave Ceylon, for the recovery of his health, which had suffered so severely by his exertions during the Kandyan rebellion. On his return to England, he was appointed to a Majority in the 9th Foot, and in 1828, was promoted to a Lieut.-Colonelcy in his old Regt., the 19th Foot, upon which he embarked for the West Indies, and took the command of that corps, with which he continued till his lamented death. The estimation in which the character of the late Lieut.-Col. Hardy was universally held where he was known, cannot be better described than in a letter addressed by his Excellency the Governor of Trinidad, (of which the following is a copy) to Lieut.-Colonel Doherty, who by the death of Lieut.-Colonel Hardy, succeeded to the command of the troops serving in that island. Government-House, Trinidad, April 17, 1835. SIR,-In consequence of the death of Lieut.Colonel Hardy, of the 19th Regt., the command of his Majesty's troops has devolved upon you. The first duty in that capacity I am anxious you should discharge is, to express in Orders the estimation in which, as Commander in-Chief, I held that excellent Gentleman. His Majesty has lost in him one of his most loyal subjects, and one of his most valuable military officers. The officers of the 19th have lost their friend, their adviser, their hospitable, cheerful companion, whose courteous manner and moral example secured the well being, and much contributed to establish the character, of that corps for all that is correct and gentlemanlike. The non-commissioned officers and privates of the 19th Regt. lost in the lamented death of Colonel Hardy, a humane protector, a charitable reliever of their wants and difficulties, and a generous contributor to and superintendent of the education of their children. Society at large has been deprived of a truly honest and honourable member, and I have to deplore the loss of a sincere friend. I well know your liberal mind, and am confident you will feel pleasure in giving publicity to these sentiments, in which you fully participate. I have the honour to be, &c. &c. G. HILL. Lieut.-Col. Doherty, Commanding, &c. &c. METEOROLOGICAL REGISTER, KEPT AT THE OBSERVATORY OF CAPT. W. H. SMYTH, AT BEDFORD. GREENWICH AND CHELSEA. Go with old Thames-view Chelsea's glorious pile, A nation's grateful tribute to the brave.-ROGERS. SINCE the accession of WILLIAM THE FOURTH, his Majesty, in the kind and patriotic spirit of his illustrious race, has directed his fostering attention to those National Institutions created to reward or educate the defenders of the country. Appreciating the justice and policy of the principle upon which these Establishments have been founded, and satisfied by repeated and scrutinizing personal inspection of their zealous management and useful results, the King, permitting no cold-blooded suggestions of a perverse and partial parsimony to cramp his heart and understanding, has continued to extend the stimulating influence of his royal patronage and presence to the retreats of war-worn valour and the seminaries of youthful emulation. The British people need no additional arguments at the present hour, to rivet their respect for the United Service, or to confirm their sense of obligation to the devoted instruments of their national salvation. No nation on earth is more justly proud of its Fleet and Army; the exceptions to this feeling are of a class too degenerate and contemptible to excite any stronger sentiment than scorn in the breasts of brave men. No State, in fact, whatever may be the form of its government, is insensible to the paramount importance of its armed force, or niggard of the means of rewarding and sustaining its devotion and efficiency. The bloated Democracy which, bursting the conventions of law and society, retrogrades on the track of the savage till it wallows in anarchy and Lynch-Law-even the "United" States, we repeat, see cause, amidst their grovelling dissensions, to provide by special institutions for the encouragement and instruction of the National Force. Need we advert to the elementary establishments, on the same wise principle, which consolidate the discipline and nurse the patriotic enthusiasm of the Continental armies? Or can a retrospective glance at the military systems of the ancients-systems by which Civilization was made to march in the train of Conquest-add weight to the general conviction of the uses of Greenwich and Chelsea, and the abuses of "Political Economy?" The King, in pursuance of a characteristic resolution to assist in the commemoration of our great Naval Victories by attending divine service at Greenwich on their anniversaries falling on Sunday, proceeded, accompanied by his august Consort, to that noble Institution, early on Sunday the 11th of October, being the thirty-eighth anniversary of Duncan's triumph at Camperdown. Their Majesties were received in the quadrangle of the College by a Guard of Honour of the Royal Marines, commanded by Major Wright, and having alighted at the door of the Governor, Sir Thos. Hardy, who, with Capt. Larkin, Lieut. and U. S. JOURN. No. 84, Nov. 1835. U |
