Respecting tho cabled news of tho death at tho front of captain \Vauer Russell, it is interesting to recall (telo-gr.-.plis our Wellington correspondent) that whilst serving in New Zealand the lato Sir William Russell (father of tno late Captain Walter Russell) was a Captain of tho sSth Jf'oot and tho 14th Foot. These regiments, on the reorganisation of tho British Army, somo years ago, became the..Northamptonshire and West Yorkshire Regiments, which two of Sir William';; sons respectively joined. The son that held a commission in th*> AYcsf Yorkshires was killed in tho South African .var, and the other, who held a captain's commission in the Northamptonshires, has now also given his life for his country. The third son succumbed to an attack of typhoid fever, so there is now no heir left in the i'amilv.
