The force collected by the Burmese, between Ran-' goon ind Ummerapoora, was estimated at 100,000 ton, under the command of the Prince of SABRA WADDY, the King of AtrAt's brother. The reports of a kevolution in Ava are not confirmed. Mr. GOUGER, ivho was taken prisoner some time ago by the Burmese. remained in their custody, but had not suffered any further molestation. A number of fire-rafts, filled with Warious combustibles, which hail been constructed by the Burmese, for the purpose of floating down the Irra waddy, and impeding the progress of the transports, had been destroyed by -Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL. Upwards of 5,000 barrels of oil had been blown up. —For further details of the operations of our army, we refer to the East India intelligence in another column, a; well as for the official account of the events at Bar rackpore, which seem to have been much exaggerated ; Vie private letters are very contradictory as to the num ber of sepoys killed, though they all seem to concur in ta a important points—namely, that the mutiny did not arise from disaffeition to the Government, and that, from whatever cause it did arise, it has been suppressed by the decisive, though painful measures that were adopted. The mutiny, as we stated yesterday, took place in the 47th Native Infantry ; and the cause of discontent is said to have been some real or imaginary privations of mat citing allowances, and bullocks and coolie. for con veying their baggage to Chittagong, where they were onlered to march. The first symptoms of insubordination were evinced on the morning of the 2d Nov. on the muster of the47th Native Regiment on the parade at Barrackpore, prepa rator y to their being marched to Dacca, on their road to the seat of the campaign, in the Burmese territory . , Barrack pore is distant about 16 miles from Calcutta. On this occasion it was remarked, that the troops ap peared on the parade without their knapsacks ; and on being questioned why they did so ? avowed their deter mination not to march unless allowed bullocks and coolies to carry their moveables. Colonel DALZEL, the English Officer commanding the mutinous regiment, expostulated with them on their conduct, and on their remaining refractory, rushed for ward and attempted to seize one of those who appeared to take a leading part in the mutiny. 'He was warned, however, by some of the others to desist, they declaring their intention to shoot him if he persevered. lie then required that all those who did not participate in this mutinous conduct should separate from their coals odes, when one whole company detached itself, and was followed by the native Officers in command of the other companies. There was not, in fact, one Officer, even so low in rank as the havildar, sr serjeant, who took any part in the mutiny. Colonel DALZEL., finding the remainder im movable in their resolution, and fearing the conse quences that might ensue, as they were well supplied both with arms and ammunition, dispatched couriers to the artillery station at Dumdum, and to the Commander inaCtrief, who was at Calcutta, who repaired w ith his guard, and the body-guard of the Governor-General, which are cavalry and Mahometan troops, to the neigh bourhood where the mutineers kept their position —At this time there was in garrison at Fort William, the Ist Battalion Royal Scots, and the 44th Regiment; and, by great good fortune, the 47th (British) Regiment had dropped down the river in boats. on their route to Chittagong, only the evening before. By considerable activity, all these troops were collected near Barrack. pore by day-break on the Sd, hut their approach was managed with so much caution, that it remained un known to the mutineers. These men were then once more addressed by their Officers, and advised to a vo luntary submission, but continuing refractory, the ar tillery and troops were brought to act upon them, first by a single gun shotted, being fired over their heads (intentionally) ; next, by a general discharge of grape. —The mutineers do not seem to have been aware of • the presence of the artillery, which, however, did but little execution, owing to the intervention of the trees, huts of the cantonment, and the other impediments. It however caused them to break, when the light compa nies dashed in and did considerable execution. The greater part however escaped, facilities to fly being in tentionally afforded. A great many precipitated them selves into the river, numbers were killed by the fire of l the trcops,and about fifty were secured in their attempt to escape. In the accounts of what ensued at this period of the affair, there is a singular discrepancy ; some letters stating the killed and wounded of the muti nous regiment at 600, and others at no more than 40, but there is every reason for believing that the smallest number given is the nearest to the truth. The exaggeration is, without doubt, owing to the i . alarm which prevailed at Calcutta at the time, that place having been left under the protection of no more than 400 European troops during the period occupied in putting down the mutiny. A Court-Martial had. ' . been formed to try the mutineers, and it is asserted in some accounts that fifty had been hanged ; but we are inclined here also to take the more moderate statement, from which we learn that five only, and those well known to be the ringleaders in the mutiny,had been put to death. —No search after the fugitives had been instituted, with the exception of two or three, well known to have excited the discontent of the remainder, and for whose apprehension rewards had been offered. On the inves , ligation that took place, some of the troops who were questioned respecting their motives for refusing to match, are said to have assigned as a reason, that they imagined t h e B urmese dealt in witchcraft, an d conse quently that other t roo p s cou ld h ave no c h ance a ga in s t magicia ns — a reason wh i ch is sufficiently character i st i c I , of the superstitious inorance of our nativelndian troop's. Too mtic t i frail* eitenot be given to Mr. Secretary Pan for so early in the Session bringing in a Bill to , amend and consolidate the laws relating to Juries, which are at present scattered oter sb many statutes' and those of so different a Charicter, that every periOn must wonder-how they became mingled together. We trust, with the Bight Honourable Secretary, that the advantage of the measure will be so clearly felt, is to induce a speedy extension of the principle Of consoli dating the scattered statutes ott every subject Into one general law.

THE SOUTH LONDON DOCK DILL This'Bill was introduced in the last Sessi(in of Parlia ment, but tob late to pass through its several stages be= forethe House adjourned'. The Cortitbittee whiCh sit no the Bill specially re ported to the House the evidence produced; and " that they were strongly impressed, from the 'eiltience, with the important benefits that would result; sho uld the sanction of Parliament be given to the conttrtictiort of the South London Docks.' The South London Docks will comprise St. Savionel Dock, and the adjacent warehouses, wharfs, and grodnds near to Loudon Bridge; and among other prominent Advantages to the public and to the port and commerce of London by the formation of .the Docks, will be the • following :- 1. Security to the Reienue.' s. Security to Merchants. S. Re lief of the crowded state of the river Thames. 4. Celerity in loading and unloading ships. 5. Reduction of Dock charges. 6. Com mencement of business within twelve or eighteen months after the works are in operation, in consequence of the existing Dock and Warehouses. 7. Less capital and greater proportionate accommo dation than are required and afforded by any other establishment. 8. Superiority of situation, on account of the depth of water being greater than on the North side of the River, the ground being be low high-water mark, and much of it already excavated, with an extensive and unobstructed opening to the River ; and also on ac count of its being nearer to London Bridge and the Custom (loose, than any other public establishment. 9. Saving of comiderable expense in Land Carriage, the principal manufactories, and a great part of the coasting-trade being carried on itt the Borough and on the South side of the River. 10.

The Lot ds Committee to enquire into the State of Ireland assembled yesterday (Wednesday), at twelve o'clock. The Earl of HARROWBY was in the Chair, and there was an unusually full attendance of the Com mittee. Mr. O'Corttrzt.r. was the first witness called in. --------- - - He continued under examination till four o'clock, when the Committee adjourned. Mr. O'C. gave, in many iestances, long and elaborate answers, and evidently ezcited a good deal of interest in the Committee. By a curious coincidence, he was passing down the passages of the House, from the Committee-room, just as the Royal assent was given to the Unlawful Societies' Bill. PORTSMOUTH; MARCH B.—The Diadem, transport, has gone out of harbour this afternoon, and will pro ceed, as soon as the wind permits, to Falmouth, to take on board the Officers and men of the 31st regiment saved from the Kent, to bring them back to this port. Saturday evening, by the express permission of his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, the celebrated Sig nor CUCCUIANI exhibited his most astonishing feats of Legerdemain to the children of the Royal Military Asy lum, at Chelsea. That surprising effort of his art, by which a real eatable pancake was actually made, flied, and turned out from one of the young Gentlemen's hats, called forth the loudest applause.; as did also his other astonishing feats. Sunday evening, a small building in the rear of Mer chiston Castle was burnt to the ground, which occa sioned a rumour the next day of the Castle itself having been destroyed by fire. Friday, the Governors of Heriot's Hospital, Edin burgh, disposed of a most unprecedented quantity of building ground. Feus to the extent of 30001. a year I were sold to the builders, which averaged about 175.6 d. per foot, which would produce a line nearly equal to the whole length of Prince's-street. The whole of the Royal Terrace was taken off at 14s. Joha Fisher, alias Smith, who was some time ago apprehended by Shergold, the constable, and taken before the Magistrates at Union-hall, charged on suspi cion of having been implicated as one of the party who shot a gamekeeper in the service of Mr. STNACILY, of Rackheath, in the county of Norfolk, was a few days since sent down to Norwich, in the custody of the offi cer who took him prisoner. On arriving at Norwich Gaol, Fisher was immediately identified by the turnkeys as the accomplice of the man who had already suffered the penalty of the law for the offence. Fisher under went an examination before one of the Magistrates, the result of whisk was that be was committed. for trial at the ensuing Assizes. The importation of cotton wool this year, beyond the importation in the same space of time last year, amounts to ten thousand bags, which is at the rate of more than a thousand bags a week increase.

It appeared that the deceased was a mar ried woman, and • resided at No. 3; Princes -street, Vauxhall; -that on Monday night last, smoke was observed issuing from the room in which she lodged. On opening the door of her apartment, a vast quantity of smoke filled the room, and after it had subsided, the body of the unfortunate woman was discovered lying close to a cupboard, which was on fire when some of the witnesses entered the room.— She was lying albng the floor with her face downwards, and on examining her person, it was found to be burnt in such a dreadful manner, particularly her face, that made it impossible to discern a single trace of her fea tures. One of her legs lay at some distance, separated from the body, and almost burnt to a cinder. It was stated, that the deceased was alone at the time of her death, and that the accident most probably happenedin consequence of her clothes having taken tire while sit. , ting near the fire-place, and the deceased being unable to escape out of the room, had fallen a _victim helot e assistance had anived.—Accidental Death.

VANSANDAU v. 16 IdOitt AND MITCHELL, CHAIRMAN Attp • si.cuEYARY OF Title BRITISH ANNUITY COMFANY. Mr. KNIGHT to-dal argued in opposition to the de murrer, and in support of the bill ; that the demurrer could not be maintained, on the groUnd of insufficiency of parties. That this Court would only carry On a partnership with a view to its dissolution, he admitted; bin an application to the Court by a partner to restrain his co-pa. tners from doing au act contrary to the sti pulations of the partnership, would not he calling upon the Court to manage the partnership from time to time. But was this an ordinary partnership? LORD CHANCELLOR— By the Act, the Chairman, or Secretary, may sue a stranger, and vice trersa, but the Act dims not authorise them to sue each other, and if the Company take the semblance of a Corporation, this Court ought to give no relief n hatever. • Mr. KNIOUT resumed—if it were competent for one patty to dissolve the partnership, the Act would be at an end. Lotto CHANCELLOR—The question is whether, if the plaintiff were to give notice . of his intention to dissolve the partnership, any Court would support it against him? It is either a Company of a corporate character, which would be illegal, or it is a partnership according to the rules of the common law. Would it not be com petent for any person, sued by the Chairman or Secre tary, to chew that the Company was not a legal one ? It is also a question how a decree can be made against the absent Shareholders? Ought not the plaintiff to bring before the Court, at least, all who are known to be Directors and Proprietors? Mr.ICSItoliT said, there had been a change in them. He was not aware that the Company had assumed a corporate character. There was no common seal. if there were an assumption of that character by other partners, in matters to which he was not a party, he was not bound by it. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that it was 'very soon found that if you sued the Secretary, and he could not pay, you had no remedy, and that gave rise to an enactment, that the person who recovered against the Secretary might sue out execution against any indivi dual of the Company. It was then discovered that you could not tell who were the Members, and an enactment was added, that a -memorial of the names of the Proprietors should be enrolled. The Court could only enforce its order by a committal to the Fleet, but how could that be done with all the Members of a Com pany? He believed it was the intention of the Legis lature to pass an Act, to make the original shareholders answerable for all the acts of the partnership. He per ceived in all the Bills for Companies before the House 'of Lords, some clause in them to take those Companies out' of the Bubble Act, 6 George I. but he hoped Par liament would not allow such clauses to stand. • Mr. SUDDEN was then heard in support of the de murrer, after which the CHANCELLOR again reviewed the circumstances of the case, and laid it down that if these CoMpanies are not Corporations, they must be dealt with as common partnerships. His Lewin, finally .hewed the demurrer. Tffe plaintiff must therefore either amend, or Me a new MIL POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Tuesday, Mr. Humphreys attended to tender bail in behalf of Pearson, who was committed for lurking about Mr. Waterhouse's Inn Yard, in Lad-lane, with intent to rob the mails, and who ap pealed against the conviction. Mr. Waterhouse's solicitor objected that the notice only set forth as the ground of appeal, that the party felt aggrieved, and not the specific injunction or informality that was-to be the matter of complaint; and this notice being in formal, a fresh one was offered ; he should take time to inquire into the bail. Mr. Humphreys replied, that he had served exactly such a notice in a similar case, and one of the clerks in the City Solicitor's office had started the same objection, but the City Soli citor himself knew better than to persist in such an opposition, and no objection had been taken to the notice by M. Rolland, or the Recorder. He would, however, amend his notice now, by adding " the evidence being insufficient." With regard to Mr. Water house having notice of bail, be was not in a situation to require it. His complaint had been finally adjudicated by the Magistrate; and the question now lay between only the Magistrate and the prisoner. Neither had the Magistrate a right to time •for inquiry, for if he had uncle:red good bail immediately, before the expiration of the time allowed for appealing, as he had a right to do, the Magistrate would only have had an opportunity of judging of the suffici►ncy of bail, by their examination upon oath.—Mr. Alderman Woon did not agree with this law, but proceeded to examine and reject one of the baiL Yesterday new bail were proposed, and the claim to have their sufficiency decided instanter, renewed, but after some d scuesim the business was adjourned. MARLBOROUGH-STRERT. Daniel Maluntia alias Wiliafris, were charged with attempting to pick the pocket of Lord blentford of a silk handkerchief.— His Lordship stated, that between one and two in the afternoon he was passing along Duke -street, Manchester-square, with a Lady leaning on his arm, and saw the prisoners together on the opposite side of the Street. In a few minutes he felt a sudden pull at his coat pocket, and, putting back his hand, he caught the pocket before the handkerchief was extracted, and turning round, he saw Mahony running. • His Lordship left the Lady and pur sued the prisoner into Brown-street, where he entered a house, and was taken by his Lordship, in a room on the third floor, who gave him into the custody of a constable, who shortly after took Mea gan. His Lordship said, he bad seen the same two, a few day. before, in Regent-street, watching him, but finding he observed them, they sheered off.—They were committed. The Deputation' of West India Merchants and Planters waited on Tuesday on the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, with their memorial, praying a reduction of duty on Rum, proportionably with that on British spirits. They were favourably received. Yesterday evening. Mrs. Jameson, an elderly widow Lady, residing in Adam's-place, Edgewate-load, while in the act of placing same coals on the fire, had bee apron drawn into the fl Imes, which communicating to ,the rest of her dress, she was soon enveloped in the blaze. Her screams brought the other inmates of the house to her assistance, who, with some difficulty suc ceeded in extinguishing the fire, but, not before the 'upper part of her body was burnt in so shocking a *manner, that notwithstanding every medical assistance was rendered her, she expired this morning, alter .en= &lin , . the most acute agony of body. 117 - 4 4.11 O
