• • 77 11 q ;~-- -- Moult with ascertaining the number of children exist ing, might be widely misled. in adverting to the fruitfulness of marriages, your Committee will Ike dentally observe, that although they hive sonic vain. I able evidence as to the number of children resulting from marriages, to which any children are born; they have none as to the number of mirriages which do of do not produce any children at all. In regard to sickness, there are no extensive data in England : and though the sufficiency of Dr. Price's, and tbe Southwell Tables may be said to be con fi rmed by sufficient experience, it is doubted' whether the esti mate of sickness upon which they are founded is ac curate, or whether it is not rattier by the operation of other causes, not contemplated by the framer, that the amount of the contributions turns out to be sufficient. It will be seen in the evidence, that all persons are not agreed in the basis of Dr. Price's hypothesis, namely, that sickness, and the probability of death, in crease always at the same rate. It is said that there are occupatinns which produce a degree of sickness that requires support from a society, but which do not shorten the li'e of the member. To this and other spe culations your Committee advert, with the view first of exhibiting the doubts which still hang over the mat:ers of their inquiry, and of inducing a copsidera• tion of the several questions which it is desirable to re s•ilve. From speculations of their own your Committee have purposely abstained. (To be continued). EAST INDIA PAPARS. -~ FROM TIIE CALCUTTA JOHN BULL, MARCH 18.. From Rangoon I urther satisfactory intelligence has been received, and we have much satisfaction in pub the following account of the proceedings of the waver calumn of Sir Archibald Campbell's army, under the immediate command of Brigadier-Gen. Cotton: The troops of this column left Rangoon on the 16th of February. On the 17th they reached Teesit, where they found three new stockades unoccupied, and de► stroyed them the same evening. The advance division, two miles above, were fired on from the bank, and lost two sailors killed, and one wounded. They burnt on the left bank a strong bt eastwcn k of timber and a stockade; early on the morning of the 18th they destroyed another stockade on the right, nearly opposite. On the 19th, the tide carried the advance to the two outer stockades of Paulang (placed on opposite banks of the river), but t•co late fully to reconnoitre them. The main body anchored about six miles below. The reconnoissance was completed early on the 206. Whilst the steam boat and Satellite were coming up, a battery of three mortars and two six.pounders were erected on a point separated horn the left stockade by jungle and swamp, and which also commanded the right one. It opened .at less than 35 minutes, and immediately the shells caused c9nfusinn, and made the Burmeselie in their holes. This time was also taken, while the tide was running out, to arrange the column of attack on each side of the river, formed under the banks out of reach of shot, and pre pared to make the attack on a given signal, when the steam-boat and Satellite had anchored and produced the desired impression—the column on the right pulling off to carry the stockade on the right bank, and the left column to carry that on the left. The tide turned at half-past three, but owing to the Satellite grounding, the steam-boat, in which Captains Alexander and Chadds were, did not come up till five. The attack was in stantly made, and both stockades were in our posses sion in five minutes, without any loss on our side. The practice of the mortar battery was excellent, and the rockets were of the most material use. The enemy ran instantly. The columns advanced immediately on each bank, and Brigadier-General Cotton, who had joined the steam-vessel in passing, and hoisted the signal on seeing the impression made, proceeded with the right column, under Lieutenant-Colonel O'Donoghtte, in Captain Chadd's gig ; a flanking party was then thrown out to protect our advance up the banks of the river, and the troops instantly moved on, discovering the great stockade of Paulang directly in their front, situated on a roint of land commanding the El Euchianaer branch, and the other running into the Dallas Creek. It looked very strong and extensive. The Tantabien branch was also between the two columns; but as some Burmese o ore seen fording it, our men were ordered to put their ammunition on their bayonets and do the same. It was not higher than the arm-pit, and the column got easily over. The steam-vessel was coming up at the same time, and the right column was immediately op posite the Paulang stockade. separated by the river. The enemy could not stand; and after a very weak and contused fire, they instantly evacuated it at each angle. The boats having kept parallel with the troops, both columns were instantly embarked and posted at it, and gained it without the loss of a man. The Bur mese had 4,000 or 5.000 men in the three places. Bagadier•General Cotton's force was to have moved nest morning; but the Satellite was still aground, and not likely to be got off. The people of the country (the Cariens) were flocking in; and the most positive direction bad been given to prevent plunder. The large stockade of Pa u lang or Paulang is said to be remarkably strong—built of new timber, and 16 feet high, with regular parapets and projecting angles. Immense quantities of gunpowder, broken jinjals, and a few brass guns, were taken. All the men lost by the enemy were killed by the shells and rockets, to which circumstance is to be attributed our trivial loss. The use of these project;les previously to running up the troops is of the first importance in saving the lives of cam men. Letters horn Cheduba have been received to the 28th—of February. Supplies do not seem to be very abundant. No spirits, wine, nor beer to be had, and fowls are scarcely procurable at two for a rupee. Neither ducks nor sheep are to be procured. Captain Hardy, in the Planet, accompanied by the Henry Meriton and two gun-hoats, proceeded, about the mid dle of January, up the Ramree river or harbour. They got up the creek It ading to Ramree, without the smallest appearance of danger, carrying water enough for a ship of the line. The entrance, however, to the liver is rather narrow, owing to two ridges of rocks, which do not leave any very extended opening. There is plenty of water; but from the narrowness of the en vance.it cannot be passed without a leading wind, the tide and eddies setting very strong. It was a few days after this that Captain Hardy took the Hastings, and all the gun-boats in, abreast of two villages, which it had been determined to destroy. The whole of the boats, warmed and armed by the Hastings, were dispatched, under the command of Lieutenant Windham, first of that ship The first village was found deserted and busnt. The second was about a quarter of a mile dwant, the road to it being through a thick jungle betwss n two hills. Our roeh were, however, suffered ~:.~: S . rim". .: illli '4llt - to pass •without . the smallest annoyancl•, until they -reached th• village; %then a fire from three jinjals and musketry was opened on ,them from all quarters. The village was burnt—s 4 orthe enemy killed, and two . prisoners taken ; one of . them said to be a man of some consetrence, who had come from Ramree the night before with a hundred cued' with muskets, for the protection of that part of the island. The villages are situated about two miles and a half from its south end. On this occasion not a man was hurt on our sde. The frigate and brigs kept up a fire on the setond vil lage while our men were passing through the jungle. This success, it would seem, induced the further at tempt, which failed, owing to the inkapacity or treachery of the guide, who is said to have been the Dobashee of Colonel Hampton. The troops destined for the attack, were embarked on board the Francis Warden, and the gun boats. The Planet took the European attillerymen. The whole got to the creek, which is about 28 or 30 miles from the entrance of the river, or harbour, on the ild of February; when a reconnoissance took place in the boats of the frigate. About three miles up the creek it was found to be staked across in two places--the first very slightly, but the second in the strongest manner ; and on these latter the boats could not make the smallest impression: beyond the stakes were a breast- work, and stockades, with a fortified hill in the rear.— On the 3d, at day-light, the whole of the troops pro ceeded up the creek in the Matchless cutter, the Fetcher ketch, and ten gun boats, together with the boats be longing to the Hastings, Warden, Henry Meriton, and Planet, the latter vessel bringing up the rear as soon as there was wa•er enough for her to cross the bar. The force consisted of about 500 Sepoys, 45 artillery, and 50 of the crew of the Hastings; they carried with them four pieces, two of which, however, only were landed, and two howitzers, which, owing to the had landing, could not be got on shore. The landing was covered by the vessels and boats; and the troops pushed on through nullahs and jungle, continually exposed to the sniping shot of the enemy, not one of whom could be discerned. One village was destroyed ; but it became apparent that the guide had misled them, and that instead of approaching the enemy they were increasing their distance. It thence became necessary to return, which was done in good order, until reaching the nul labs, when considerable confusion took place. The re• serve, however, at this place, consisting of about 100 men, and the artillery, covered the retreat effectually ; but the killed, consisting of four sepoys and one man of his Majesty's 54th Regiment, with a Waterloo medal, could not be brought off. A seaman of the Hastings was also killed. EPP ••• 11, ~' :•a,~, LIT• 74 4- 7 was dispatched here to occupLit—about 100 horse are' at Denoobew ;—heard a rumour, before leaving Denoo bew', of the English having taken PAulang; but little intelligence is allowed to transpire at chit place; heard on the road that the rumour in question is true, and that the Kee Woorigee had fled with his force on the English ships arriving at Paulang ; heard nothing from Arracan of the English having advanced in that direc tion. A great many war-boats at Denoobew ; but their guns are all inside of the stockade, No certain iutelli• gence where Noonshoe.za now is; Prince Surrawuddee is at Surrawuddee, with 500 men (soldiers). The re. mainder of his men have been made over to Bundoola. No force at Prome whatever ; does not know what number of men are at Bissein. •" RANCOMW, Firs. 14. " Having a little time to breathe, I will endeavour to give you some idea of this extraordinary place. On our first approach to Rangoon we were struck with the number of King's ships, gun boats, and other vessels with which the river is crowded opposite the landing place ; then with the appearance of the stockade, near the water's edge, which is now merely a wooden wall, with an open work at top. being sixteen or seventeen feet from the ground ; be hind this wall is a platform to stand or kneel upon, made of bam boos. These wooden walls are supported by heaps of clay and mud, and outside them are often eight or nine trenches, four feet from each other, and nine feet wide and deep, and in the bottom are stakes of bambco hardened by burning, which are alto very much scattered about, giving great trouble and many serious wounds, for though not longer or much thicker than the blade , of a common knife, still they penetrate th e thickest shoes.--' While passing all these obstructions, the Burmese have an oppor tunity of firing with every security, but having passed these trenches, they do not wait for the bayonet, but scamper off. Their mode of attack is very strange; they extend in line, each man taking five or six feet, which be burrows in, and makes himself perfectly secure from all sorts of shot : he bads, pops up his head and fires, earths again, and repeats this as lor.g as his ammunition serves. In this manner hundreds may be near you without any sign of them, except the earth they may have thrown up. Rangoon, I should imagine, to he one of their holy cities, front the number of buildings, to which we have given the name of pagodas; but they appear to be tombs or monuments. At the base they are square; these are hexagonally pyramidal,with a slender spire of tapering form, crowned with a filigree work of gilt iron, resembling the Papal crown, with the addition of a number of small bells, which give a not unpleasant tinkling as the zephyrs pass. 01 these buildings there are thousands, particularly near the great one, the approach to which on one side is through a lane of them, occasionally mixed with colossal figures, in a sitting pasture, with legs crossed, the right hand pointing downwards in the peculiar manner which is to be observed in all the figures sent to Calcutta. The great pagoda is a pile of brick work, similar to the rest, but greatly exceeding them in dm and beauty. A side of the base. I think, should measure one hundred feet, mabing the area 10,000 feet square, from which it ascends 200 in hexagon s , o c t agons , d ecagons , site. the whole from the base is gilt. Its position is very elevated, commanding an ee 1-naive view, and is well calculated for a fortifica but we have no woke of moment about it. By some dance ' a fear of those gilt or plated images were found in a pagoda, and fine that every other has been defaced by a breach sufficient to admit a man. This reminds me of the spoliation of the Grecian temples by the Turks. To these principal objects of notice here, I may add one more, namely, the wharf at the landing place, which is yeleped Scandal Wharf. It is the mane, tfii moll, the general rendezvous, where are liberally dealt out reports true and false, and anything not cre dited is called a shave, which one tells another, without giving of fence, saying that's a have." THE EVENING STAR . ... FROM THE CALCUTTA JOHN NULL, MARCH 22. A letter we have been favoured with, of which the following is an extract, gives a forcible idea of the dif ficulties encountered by the Cachar force: " CAMAS, BIARCII 11. " The state of the road through the forest now beg gars all attempt at description; the rain which fell du ring .February made it so soft, the cattle sunk and could not extricate themselves without assistance. At tempts were made to repair the road by putting grass and reeds over the worst places; in the meantime, we have had several successive days of heavy rain, which has made it infinitely worse. The necessity of supplying the Local Battalion and pioneers with pro#isfns became daily more urgent; and as many of the elerthanto-were already done up, and about SOO Bunjarrah bullocks lost in the mud, a supply was sent forward by the Coolies, a thousand are said to have been sent, out of which only 250 reached their destination. It is most distress ing to the poor Bunjarrahs—it solisciptseeo to be ade quately felt. Fancy the bullocks - ttp to their backs in a quagmire ; some that succeeded in throwing their loads, struggled out of the mud, and only escaped a miry grave to die on the road-side. " Many elephants, public as well as private, have been lost. No means that could be devised, in such wea ther, would be of any avail. Troops accompanied,by artillery and dependent on cattle for the carriage of their supplies, cannot move, after such a deluge of rain. A fen; days ago the weather cleared up, and held out the most flattering prospect of enabling us to cross the forest—when, suddenly the weather changed and rained incessantly. There is yet a month or six weeks before the regular rains set in, during which it is barely possi ble to reach Munnipoor lightly equipped ;—the thing seems quite out of the question with a force on the pre sent scale. The 16th Locals are near to a place called Noonshy, beyond the forest; the pioneers are repairing the damage done by the heavy rain • and the third brigade, Blair's Horse Artillery, and the Head Quar ters, remain at Banskandy. The loss in elephants has been very severe to individuals who have preceded the third brigade. The weather to-day promises to clear up, but it will require a considerable time of dry wea ther to make the road passable." FEB. 23.—The following is the substance of intelli gence obtained at Lyne, regarding the distribution of the enemy's forces, from two Burmese prisoners : Nanieealay says he is an inhabitant of Punzindoon, from whence he ran on the English arriving at Ran goon; that whilst staying at Bholah, four days ago, 50 men arrived there on their way to join the Chekeya Whoon at Pegu, with orders from Bundoola to return with his force, and rejoin him at Denoobew. Heard that there are 600 men at Pegu with the Chekeya Whoon, and 2,000 or 3,000 with Bundoola, at 13.1190bew, bew, fighting men; has not been there himself; but hears there are very few guns, and a large proportion of muskets ; heard of our advance when at Bholah, four days ago, and that Maha fl lwah bad gone off to the eastward, but knows not to what place; heard of Paulang being taken three days since, and with little resistance. The Kee Woongee had retreated to Naizlie, half way to Yangain Chena. The garrison of Paulang fled in great disorder, leaving everything behind them : knows not if there were any guns. The prisoner in tended to have gone to Pegu with 50 men, sent by Bundoola, in search of his wife and family. Neene-auhoo says he was proceeding (to find his wife and family) with a Chief and fifty men sent by Bun doola to Pegn, four days ago, for the purpose of re call.ng the Chekeya Whoon, who proceeded thither two months ago, with 600 or 700 men. Two days before he left Denoobew, 400 infantry and 100 horsemen were dispatched by Bundoola to this place, and he under. stands they ate now at a Carian village, called Amawhe, 8 miles hence. Bundoola has upwards of 16,000 fighting men with him, and from 40 to 50 guns, 100 jinjals, and 10.000 muskets. The defences kt Denoobew consist of a timber stockade, vonposed of very large round timbers planted in a double row (one close behind the other), each three deep; a dry ditch round the land faces, about seventy-two fret broad, and from ten to twelve deep; not quite. finished.— Had heard of the advance of the English towards Lyne, and in consequence the party befoiernentioned LON DON. --. 41 .--- THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1825.
