Born 1758. Killed at Waterloo 1815. THE veterans of the Peninsula are hourly dropping away from us, like the falling leaves ofO ctober; but amongst the few survivors, the names of Picton and the fighting third division are still in their flowing cups freshly remembered, and familiar in their mouths as household words. Forty-one years have elapsed since the last shot was fired at Toulouse in the long struggle which carried anE nglish army from the banks of the Tagus to those of the Garonne. The present generation remember the deeds of their fathers, and the recollection of Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajos, andS t. Sebastian, has animated the stormers of Sebastopol. We have seen that want of practice is not accompanied by any deficiency in noble daring. There is much in the career of Sir Thomas Picton for the young soldier to study with advantage.
