The Lahore Akhbar of the 7th ult. contains, we observe, the following intelligence : Rajah Rungeet Singh was still encamped at Wuzeer abad, on the Chunab or Acesines. An Arzee arrived from Sirdar Huree Sing, at Durbund, stating that the Zemindars of that quarter having risen in great force, to the number of nearly 10,000 horse and foot, he, with Sirdars Jumiyat Singh and Moolraj, marched to attack them at a place about two kps from Gund Gurh. The insurgents were prepared for battle ; but on thcarrival of the troops fled, and in the flight several were killed and wounded. After this success, the Sikh troops occupied the ground deserted by the insurgents; and all the Sirdars, without about one thousand horse and foot, encamped in one enclosure, the-remainder of the force being dispersed over the adjacent villages.— At night the rebels re• assembled, surrounded the en closure, and commenced a vigorous attack on it. The fight lasted from midnight until morning. Sirdar Ju miyat Singh, his nephew, Moolraj, commandant of horse, Bodb Singh and the commander of Dhunna Singh's contingent, and Sudda Sookh, were slain ; and of the 1000 horse and foot, only about 200 escaped. The remaining Ace were killed by the insurgents. On hearing cif the heavy loss thus sustained by the Sikh forces, the Maharaja dispatched a Shookkeh to Sirdar Huree Singh, desiring him to strengthen his position at Gund Gunk and keep up his spirits, as the Maharaja proposed to join him without delay.

There has been some hard fighting, and the Burmese are certainly a formidable enemy ; there is, however, little fear but the war will be soon ended. The Nuremberg Correspondut of the . 3d inst. con.: •ins the following account of the new preparations making by the Turks against the Greeks, who, it is added, do not fear them: "MEDITERRANEAN COAST, FEB. ie. " In a letter from Pera the following particulars are given of the plan of the campaign against the Greeks, which is said to be finally adopted, and for the execu tion of which preparations are now making. Ac cording to this plan, the Porte will employ no less than four armies to subdue the Mot ea and the continent of Greece. The first of these armies is to consist of the troops assembled along the Asiatic coast, and will he conveyed from thence to the Peloponnesus in European transports, escorted. by the Turkish fleet.

The residence of these parties having beta discovered, they were served with notice of what had taken place, and Which seas noticed in the &ran of Tuesday; the consequence is, that answers have been put in, expressing. a readiness to resign all pretensions to the Lady'ss property during her life, and to bow to whatever order may be made. The result has been, that a marriage settlement is to be drawn up, and the order for committal stayed: BELGRAVII V. BELGRAVE. . ---- - In this case the writ of I%e ma Regain having been served on the guardian, Jacob Be!grave, his departbre has been stayed; and in order, to prevent more action,' consequences, an answer is in course of drawing up,consequently the cause will be heard at the nextSeaL BrusseJs Papers to Wednesday have reached us. The Session of the States General closed on Friday last. The Royal Speech was read by the Minister of the In terior. It congratulated the Chamber, generally, on theJtate of the' country, and on their legislative la bours, and expressed the deepest regret at the melan choly consequences of the late inundations. It is stated that the King had in a great measure recovered from his indisposition. Our Indian Finance never was in so high and palmy a state. The estimated Revenue of 1823 amounted to 22,213,6231. while, five years before, it was only 18,375,8201. shewing an increase in that short period of no less than 3,837,8031. nor has the charge increased in proportion; for, after paying the whole interest of the Indian Debt, there is a clear surplus of above Two Millions and a Quarter Sterling. The following is an extiact of a letter dated Frank fort on the Maine, February 23 :—" Messy. Rothschild, of this city, have now received the collections made by Mr. N. M. Rothschild, in London, for the relief of the sufferers by inundations in the South-West of Germany, amounting to 23,590 florins, which were distributed in the following manner :—To the authorities of the 'Grand Duchy of Baden and the Grand Duchy of Hesse, were allotted each two•sevenths, or 6,740 fl nins ; to the authorities of the Royal Bavarian 'and Royal Wurtembetg States, as also the committee appointed at Dusseldorf for relieving the poor sufferers, to each one seventh, or 3.370 florins." STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.—Monday the steam-boat Alice, the property of Mr. Parry, of Seacombe-ferry, Liverpool, took fire by some accident, whilst at anchor off that place. As soon as the fire was discovered, the men endeavoured to extinguish the flames ; but, finding their efforts unavailing, they determined to scuttlethe vessel, as the only chance of saving her from total de struction. Sire was immediately scuttled, and sank opposite to the Hotel. As she lay on the bank, the ebb tide; which was remarkably stiong, forced her over into deep water, where she now lies. Masmorry SOCIETY.—The Anniversary Meeting of the Subscribers to this Institution took'place yesterday, at Freemasons' Hall. The mischief arising from pay-, ing attentigp to begging letters and giving alms in the streets was again clearly :hewn, and proved to be a for niidable means of frustrating thelaudable objects of the Society, whose indefatigable labours, if duly seconded, would not fail to produce the total extinction of Men dicity in the Metropolis. A ,Morning Paper states, on the authority of a letter from Big&swade, that " The ancient family seat of Sir JOHN MONTAGU BURGOYNI, Bart. at Sutton Park, was entirely burnt to the ground on Wednesday night, the 2d instant. It is particularly unfortunate, as the house had undergone a thorough repair during last summer, and had a large sum of money expended on it." A very serious accident nearly took place at the Sun derland Theatre, on Saturday night last, between the play and farce. A dense smoke pervaded the whole house, and the people from the gallery called out " Put the fire out—put the fire out !" A wood partition in the staircase leading to the gallery, was at last discovered to be in flames ; but fortunately for the gallery audience, the door-keepers succeeded in extinguishing the fire. The Celtic Society held their annual dinner at Edin burgh, on Friday, the 25th ult. Sir WAVrart SCOTT, Barr. presided, supported on the right and left by Lieut. Col. D'Errg, Sir WILLIAM' MACLEOD BANNATTNR, Bart. Major STraten, .Ist Royal Dragoons, the Very Reverend Principal BAIRD, and Mr.LEONARD HORNER, as guests of the Society. The crotipiers seats were filled by Mr. MACDONALD of Staffa, and Sir JOHN SCOTT DOUGLAS, Bart. of Springwood Park. After the usual toasts had been given with their accustomed honours, and sever al Gentlemen present had addressed the meet ing, Mr. LEONARD HORNER proposed the health of the Author of Waverley. Sir WA LT,ER SCOTT then rose and said—" I 'cannot say that I am particularly acquainted with the Gentleman ; but' he is very strongly recommended to us, and, if you phase, 1 shall.g►ve the time to his honours." Right loudly *ere the honours ;ing ; and thus Sir WALTER SCOTT may be said to have conferred his public honours on the au thor of lirarerley. GLASGOW Carrot; coosequence of an immense speculative business having been done in London and Liverpool, we have had a very animated and extensive demand for Cotton during the week. The sales and re-sales amount to nearly 6001. bales, whieh is :ortsiderahly more than the stock in the market. Greeks will be confided : thii is in cohformity with IC Firman of the Sultan, long ago addressed to Ibrahim Pacha, and which is now to be renewed. The second army, under the command of Ibrahim in person, is to consist of the Egyptian troops, and to land in the, Mo , rea. The third and most numerous army is to be or -1 ganized by Rechib Pacha, at Larissa. and to , consist of all the troops that can be spared in Romelia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and on the Danube. A part of the garri son of Constantinople is to join this army, the nucleus of which will be formed of the troops now in Tliessaly, which made the last campaign under Dervisch Pacha. —The fourth army, which is intended to co-operate with the first, is to consist entirely of Albanian troops; for which purpose negociations are now . carrying on with the Albanian Chiefs. This latter army, to be com manded by the Pacha of Scutari, will advance to Etolia, while Rechih Pacha penetrates into Uradia. After the subjection of these two provinces, all these troops are to be conveyed to the Morea. In this plan of the cam paign, whiih certainly seems to have much to recom mend it, neither the Greek naval force nor the .Greek - army is taken into acconnt. The Greeks are no mere afraid of the Pacha of Scutari, than of the Captain Bey. They hope to be a match for Rechib and Ibrahim, wh o cannot Co-operate with each other. In the STA R of yesterday, we quoted from the Journa du Commerce of Tuesday, an article on the supposed in .terferenze of Russia in the affairs of Greece. The Etoik of Wednesday, which we have since received, contains the following observations on the subject : • PARIS,. MARCH 8. The Journal du Cods:race repeats, after a letter from Bremen, inserted in the Con:Maier:net two days ago, and which evidently comes from Paris, that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has replied to the commu nication made by Mr. Stratford Canning on the part of England, that Russia would act according to its own views and interests with respect to the affairs of the East, in the same manner as England had acted ac-' cording to its own peculiar interest with respect to South America. We are well aware of the degree of confidence which the correspondence of the Constitution net merits, espe cially with regard to Russia ; witness a certain famous Proclamation which it ascribed to the EMPEROR, and which was a base fabrication. Its correspondence at present is not more correct. The conduct of Russia, for many years past, proves that she acts only according to general interests, and in conceit with her allies. What ever answer it may have given, we do not doubt but that it is conformable to the principles which have uni formly guided its policy for these ten years past. We learn from London (says the Journal du, Cow mew), from persons who ought to be well informed, that the great Powers have declared, that they recognised nothing of ail that has been done in America, and that in this affair they will do' nothing but in concert with Spain; but that on the other hand they do not intend to afford any succour to that Power, to recover by force its Power over its ancient colonies. England, it is added in reply to this declaration, has announced its intention to pursue the line of conduct it has laid down for itself, and which the commercial interest of the country pre scribed; and it has profited by this occasion to renew , its previous declaration, that it will not permit any armed intervention between Spain and the new States." We would remind the Journal du Commerce, that the first and second parts of its piece of news are at variance with each other. If the great Powers had answered that they did not intend to assist Spain in recognising its Colonies; it is not probable that England should have repeated such a declaration. FASHIONABLE PARTIES: The Marchioness of- Hertford entertained a large circle of dis tinguished Fashionable' yesterday evening, at her house, in Man-' chester-square. The Dowager Duchess of Richmond entertained a distinguished party at dinner yesterday, at her hone, Waterloo•place. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson Stuart entertained a distinguished patty at dinner yesterday. Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart. had a grand dinner party yesterday, at his•ltpttse in St. James's-square. The SPEAXER'S Parliamentary Levees will not take place this Session, in conserence of the death of near relations. Princess SOPHIA visited the Duke of YORK yesterday. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND. have sent 5004. fur the relief of the distressed HanOverian sufferers by the late inundations. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.— Monday se'nnight, by special license, at Garbally, the seat .f the Earl of CLAPICASTY, THOMAS KAVANAGH, of Borris, county .f Kilkenny, Esq. to lady HAUSA= TIMM'S, second daughter of the Earl of CLAIICAMTS.

The Duke of Yoax has conveyed to Mr. WILSON his pleasure that the Work shall be dedicated to his Royal Highness. • 'f wo new Companies have been started in the Foreign Market : the one is a Chilian and Peruvian Trading Company, and the other an Irish Trading Company : the Shares in both maintain a trifling premium. CREDITORS or MARSH AND Co.—There was another meeting yesterday, bat nothing new occurred. A Return has been ordered to be laid before Parlia ment of the establishment and effective strength of Of ' ficers,Non-commissioned Officers, and privates; serving in the British Army on the 25th of January last, with the number of horses, &c. - The extreme briskness of trade last year atLiverpool, is evidenced by an offical account just published. The excess of 1824 over 1823 is more than 4 500,000/: The export of cotton-manufactures and yarn are estimated at the vast sum of thirty millions! General MINA, who has been invited to publish. some of the curious papers of the Urge' Regency. which he found on taking possession of that strong hold of rebellion, has written a letter to state, that though there are certainly' very interesting documents in this collection, yet neither his delicacy nor his regard o peblic convenience ,will permit him, at present, io give them to the world.'

Mr. MATHEWS, whose irPesistible humour and versa tility of talent have so long rendered him an idol with all the lovers of frolic .and fun, was " At Hoare" last night, at this Theatre, and was honoured with as mirky visitors as the House could hold. His entertainment for this year is called The Memorandun, Book, and con sists, as usual, of three parts. It chews up, with perfect • good humour, a host of characters, and thus happily displays the varieties of life. One of the most curious characters with which he makes us acquainted, is Mr. Theophilms Outline, a man who " has an eye for every thing, and a pupil in that eye who never forgets any thing." He commences the character of every person he comes in contact with, but finishes nothing. Mrs. Tinsel is one of those common and venomous• creatures, but two frequent a disturber of the harmony of society. She deals in insinuations, but never ventures an asser tion. Mr. Alum is the portrait of a well known prac . tical Chemist, with a kind of alembic face, and.a sort -of crucible body. He mars the happiness and appetite of all, by his exclamation of " Beware," " Poisonous," " I'm analysed it, and I know it." The anchovy sauce he declares to be red paint and pickled . sprats ; and, is fact, every article of food or drink conceals some mis chievous ingredient, which is guarded against by " Be ware." For his own part, Mr. Alum declares he never eats, he tastes but to analyse. The character of Mr. AUladt is humorous, and affords a very laughable hit at the speculating mania of the day. He is always upon the point of making a fortune, by some lucky expedient. —Amongst other ingenious devices, he raises a com pany, with a capital of a million, for the purpote of working a machine for curling hair of twenty bather power. .He declares the City to be absolutely choaked with specie, and considers it incumbent upon him. to swallow up a part of the floating capital. The new Milk Company is complained of for having aimed all the pumps in the neighbourhood. The Mining Com panies undermine every thing. The Water Companies pour in upon us on every side, excepting in cases of fire, when they never intrude. He proposes to dig for a silver mine on Primrose Hill, and to establish a Bri tish Mousetrap Company, which is to repay the sub scribers by the saving of toasted cheese. Mr. Methusa. km is well worthy our attention. He is incessantly la menting the melancholy changes that have taken place since the days of his youth, at which period there was a newspaper once a week, but now he declares the times to be so altered that it requires a week to get through a daily.papee. A very humorous anecdote is related in the second part of the entertainment, of a Watchman who has long been teased by various Performers, who at all hours of the night, disturb his literary amusement of reading novels, by demanding " What's o'Clock?" The scene at , the police office, wheie the guardian of the night prefers his charge, produced much laughter and applause. Kama, and the poisoned Ghost in . Hamlet, is, also very ludicrous, and excited great amusement. In the third part we have all the cha racters united, and Mr. MATHEWS has fall scope for .the versatility of his powers and .the rapidity of his changes. The German Cook, who " weeps u ith ex cessive sensibility and skins eels," is not perhaps much ' overdrawn, and affords one of the most humorous sketches in the latter part of the entertainment, which is denominated " The Crown Imn—Danger," from the circumstance of an inn called the Crown, having been kept by a man of the name of Danger. Such is a very brief sketch of Mr. MATHEWS'S "At Home" of the present season. It is enlivened by many humorous and effective songs, and Mr. biat THIWS was hailed with the most cheering applause at • the commencement, and throughout his performance. le DRURY LANE THEATRE.--A new Farce was pro duced last night, called Change Partners. The plot is founded upon one of those slight mistakes, which, of however rare occurrence in real life, are of infinite utility to dramatic writers. A Lady writes love-letters for her servant -girl, and a Gentleman conducts the amatory correspondence of his Yorkshire fr otman. Unknown to one another, they both believe themselves the passionate adorers of a person of inferior...rank, until an eclaircisseinent takes place; and the confusion ends, as usual, in matrimony. WALLACK, KNIGHT, HARLEY, and Mrs. YATES, played admirably ; and the piece was announced for repetition amidst geneml applause. ARGYLL Rooms.—Madame CATALANI gave her se cond Concert last night, to a very numerous and fa shionable audience. the concourse was so great, that by eight o'cluck.every seat and box in this spacious Concert-room was occupied. Madame CATALANI maintained her power' unimpaired throughout the even ing, though the number of pieces in which she sang must have required from her no ordinary exertion.— They were all received with the warmest applause from the audience; but that which produced the deepest impression was her execution of the few simple note; contained in Luther's Hymn, which were expressed with a force truly sublime, and, we might almost add, little' short of inspiration. A repetition was unani mously called for. The other singers exerted t' ern solves to please, not without success, and the orchestral parts were well supported. CORN EXCHANGK, MARK-LANE, MARCH 11. The arrivals of all sorts of Grain this week are tokrabiy lane. There is not much business doing in the Wheat trade to-day, and prices remain the same as on Monday. There is a dull tru a for Barley, unless the samples are superfine. Beans sell very heanily at last quotations. Peas have uo variation.
