Detail  At Cawnpore, in consequence of his horse falling with him in a gallop, while the Corps was exercising, Lieut. A.W. Bureau, of the first Regiment of Native Cavalry; an officer whose zeal and professional merit rendered him an honour to the Corps of Cavalry; and whose amiable private character caused him to be esteemed and beloved by all who knew him, but more particularly by his brother Officers, all of whom individually lament him as an irreparable loss to their circle of private friendship and society. His remains were attended to the grave by Gen. St. Leger and most of the Station-staff, all the Officers of the 8th Light Dragoons, all the 53rd Foot, and all the Officers of the first Regiment of Cavalry. The early and untimely fate of this most deserving young officer has cast a melancholy gloom over the whole cantonment.
