PEACE WITH THE BURMESE: We yesterday stated that an overland dispatch, date:. Calcutta, April 7, arrived yesterday at the India House, announcing that a new Treaty of Peace between the Burmese and the British, similar in terms to the for mer Treaty, had been entered into, and was ratified on the 24th of Febvuary, at Yand*boo, within four days march of Ummerapoora. The official details have not ret arrived, but, according to the accounts which have reached us, the signing of the Treaty was preceded by some severe fighting. Sir A. Campbell, at the time the messenger left India ssith these dispatches, had quitted the Head-quarters, and bad arrived at Calcutta. • The following are all the particulars that have yet ! T.:lnspired, with respTct to this gratifying, though not .anespected event. Tne barbarians, who fancied that !'.eir characteristic perfidy would avail them in their egociations with Sir Archibald Campbell, as success • ally as in their transactions with the Native Powers, ';are been taught a salutary but severe lesson. It will lc long ere they again commit themselves to a struggle „•ith the British power. "CALCUTTA, Aram 7. " Sir Archibald Campbell, and Mr. Robertson, the Civil Commissioner, arrived in the Enterprise steam vessel, with the gratifying intelligence of Peace having been concluded with the Burmese.— The Treaty was ratified on the 24th of February, at Yandaboo, within four days march of the capital. The first instalment of 25 lacs of rupees had been dispatched from Rmgoott by his Majesty's ship ALLIGATOR, ten days before the Enterprise sailed. The main body of the force in Ava had returned to Rangoon, and several Regiments had embat ktd for Bengal and Madras. " An the troops would be ready to leave the Burmese territory by the time the second instalment of twenty-five lscs of rul'ees would become due, namely, the 4th June. "The Burmese, by virtue of the Treaty, give up all claim to Assam, Cachar, and Jyntea, and acknowledge Gunibeer Singh Rajah of Munnipore. " The British are to retain Ariac in, Ramree, Che duba, and Sandowey. The total amount of the indem nity to be paid by the Burmese is one crore of rupees. "'A Commercial Treaty is to be entered into between both powers, stipulating for freedom of navigation, including the commerce in grain." SURREY SESSIONS, AUG. 29. ?fen►y Norton, a half famished and deplorable look ing creature, was indicted for stealing a pair of trou sers, the property of Mr. Skinner, a pawnbroker. The trousets in question was hanging upon a peg in front of the pt osecutor's shop on the 23d of August ; the pri soner ran off with them, was pursued and taken. His plea was hunger, and it appeared that he had not a far thing about him when taken into custody, and was fa mishing for want of food. Guilty, but recommended to we: cy, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment. Elizabeth Lyons was indicted for stealing a watch from the person of Samuel Byford. The prosecutor, oa the night of the 31st of July, met the prisoner, and she induced him to accompany her to a house in Kent-street, Southwark. On his arrival there he said " his ss atch was safe in his fob," and he added, that when he was about to take leave of the " lady," he discovered " that she had f9b'cl l•im out of the watch." She denied all know ledge of the property, and he called in the aid of a con stable, named Kirby, who deposed that he searched her, as he thought, every where, but could not find the watch. At last it entered into his head to search another place, and there he found it. The Jury, to the sut prise of all the Court, returned a verdict of Not All accounts from Portugal agree that the Racine and her Ministers are popular with the bulk of the people. THE EA SLOOM OF CROM A RTY.—Thursday se'nnight ALEXANDER Maccawsio, Esq. eldest son of the late Colonel Risottos /dam's= of Nlilmount, of the Hon. East India Company's see mice, was served, at Tain, nearest and lawful heir male to Sir Gums* MACKENZIE of Tarbart, afterwards Visct. MAEDA KT, Lord Mact,cou and Casruisayss, and Earl of CROMARTY, the brother -German of his great-great-grandfather, ALEXANDER Moonstone of Ardloch. It is calculated that the annual harvest of grain, cf all descriptions, in Olio, is more than 50 million bushels. The accounts from Scotland and Ireland are in one :espect favourable. The late rains have produced a visible improvement in the condition of the potatoe crop, and a dreadful aggravation of the distresses of the peasantry and manufacturing- population is thus in :he way of being averted. Massns. Poole AND ELLISTOL—The avenues to the Court-house at Horsemonger-lane were thronged throughout the morning of yesterday, in expectation of the c)se of Poole and Elliston, for certain practices of the latter Gentleman in Vauxhall-gardens, coming on before the Surrey Sessions. The public seem to have forgot that Mr, E's trial cannot come on until next Sessiors; the present are merely an adjournment of the last, rot a new Sessions. JOURNEYMEN SILK WEAVER3.--A meeting took place at the Three Colts public-house, yesterday after noon. It was very thinly attended. The report of the Committee appointed to meet the Masters was read. After some discussion, it was agreed, 4 4 That an humble petition should be presented to his MAJESTY, praying that his MAJESTY, the Royal Family, and Nobility, wculd patronise the fancy and plain goods of Spital fields." A Committee was appointed to draw up the petition. Monday morning, about five o'clock, a detachment of Royal Engineers left Woolwich, and proceeded to the British Museum, for the purpose of removing the mag nificent remains of the capitals, columns, &c. which have so long lain neglected in the court-yard, to Windsor, to form a representation of an ancient temple in ruins. The detachment, consisting of forty men, arrived at the Museum about half-past nine, they succeeded in re moving three columns, one of which was understood to weigh seven tons thirteen cwt. and was drawn by twelve horses, which left at half-past one; they proceeded to Itounslow, and from thence to Windsor. It is expected It will take six weeks to complete the removal. During the awful tempest on Friday evening, as Mr. I.ld..vard Clay, of Greenstead Park, Colchester, and his t vu Mi . , were passing through Thorpe -street, on their . say home trom Walton Shore, a flash of lightning struck their gig, and instantaneously shivered it to pieces. Mr. Clay and his sons were thrown a considerable dis tance, and each received several bruises, but no mate rial injury. The horse being completely released by the shock, and much frightened, gallopped off at speed, and arrived safe at Greenstead. Several persons who %.itnessed the accident state that they distinctly saw the lightning strike the gig, the wheels and axletree of which are the oniy parts remaining unbroken.—Same evening, a boy in the employ of Mr. D. Sharp, of 31alsi.,n, was struck by the lightning, and great fear is entertained of his losing his sight. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

There was a Meeting this day of the General Com mittee for the Relief of the Necessitous Poor, at which the Sub-Committee closed their met itorious IThours, by giving in their ninth and final Report, of which the following are extracts : "In conformity with your direvions, your Sub- Committee discontinued the distribution of provisions, and withdrew all the tickets presented on Friday, the 18th instant. "Painful as this measure was, though, in consequence of the reduced state of the fund, evidently unavoidable, your Sub•Commitree have the high satisfaction of re. porting to you that the deportment of the applicants on this occasion has afforded a strong proof of genuine gratitude for the bounty you had bestowed, and for the kindness with which they have been treated ; for, though most of them could not but anticipate the accumulation of distress, which a privation of the accustomed pittance must bring on them, already suffering families, even this sad prospect did not prevent their expression of un. feigned thanks, or their prayers for a blessing on their benefactors. Your Sub-Committee conceive it to be a duty which they owe to their poor neighbours, to bear this testimony to their good conduct; and, recollecting also (what they before had occasion to commend) their patient resignation and patient endurance of the evil that has befallen them, they cannot but refer to such eaidences of right feeling, and readiness to acknowledge obligation, which, in the season of calamity, have been so generally exhibited, as most gratifying proofs that your contributions have not been indiscriminately la vished upon unworthy objects. " It only remains for the Sub-Committee to resign into your hands the trust which you confided to their management; and while they do this, they feel assured it will afford you sincere pleasure to be informed, that during the last period in which they were .employed upon this important subject, the most cordial unanimity has marked all their proceedings; and though it was your pleasure, in the selection of your delegates, to associate together persons differing most essentially in opinion upon subjects of the highest concern, it is with unmoved satisfaction and perfect confidence they appeal to the whole of their transactions, and to the compre hensive record of them before you, for a proof that nei ther party prejudice nor religious distinction has ever infisenced their decisions, or in ajyr manner interfered with the duties they had to perform." Petersburgh Journals to the 13th August were re ceived last night. The EMPERIM has conferred on Captain KOTZEBUE, 'the celebrated circumnavigator, the Order of St. Anne of the second class.—An Ukase of the Ist instant directs the removal of the President of the Criminal Tribunal at Nechni Novgorod, for ex treme indolence. By accounts from Mexico we learn that the Autho rities have lately made some new regulations concern• ing the admission of foreigners into the Mexican terri tory, repealing all previous laws, except that of Novem ber, 1825. The great object of which is to free strangers from unnecessary embarrassments, and at tke same time to keep all suspicious persons out of the country. Before landing in Mexico every foreigner will be required to give to the Captain of the Port a written declaration of his name, country, &c. He is then to produce his pass port, when the Captain of the Port will give him a writ ten permission to land. Strangers from countries which have not recognized agents from Mexico can land only with passports from the Governments, and those from countries which have, are required to present passports from those agents, but if they do not they will be per mitted to land under the security of the Consul from their own country: In any place where he stops more than three days the stranger must get his passport coun tersigned by the Authorities. The small pox is stated to be very prevalent in many parts of Mexico. The New York Papers state that the gold and silver specie and bullion imported into the United States, during the Commercial year, ending on the SOth of September last, amounted to 6,150,765 dollars. In the same period the export of gold and silver was 8,797,055 dollars, from which it appears that the export exceeded the import by 2,646,290 dollars. This enormous export is stated to be occasioned by the excessive issues of pa per, which drove the specie out of the country ; and the China trade in particular, which was so far overdone, that most of those engaged in it suffered a loss. This year, however, there was a re-action, and silver is stated to be brought in so abundantly that the men at the Mint had to perform what is called a day and a half work. —The expert of specie from the port of Philadelphia during the months of April, M ry and June, of the pre sent year, had only been 500,501 dollars.—From New Orleans we learn that two cases of yellow fever had occurred in June. This di eadfial malady was much earlier than usual, which was attributed to the excessive heat of the weather. Two hundred and twenty three emigrants from England had arrived at New York in one day, by three of the packet ships from Liverpool. Ft R E.—Between one and two o'clock yesterday morn ing, a fife was di•covered .to have broken out in the second floor of the house of Mr. Drysdale, the London Spa, at the corner of Rosamond-street, Clerken well, and, ' from the hour of the night, and the whole family having for some time previously retired to rest, very serious consequences were at one time apprehended. The very prompt means, however, adopted by Mr. Drysdale and his neighbours, prevented his family from accident, and ' confined the fire principally to the room where it burst I out, which, with the furniture and property therein, is destroyed, The fire was got under before the arrival of the engines and firemen.

Formerly, no use was made of the Spas, with the delightful walks and tide attached to them, after ten o'clock in the morning: but since the erection of the elegant rotunda, at the Mont pelier Spa, and which being so well adapted for an evening entertainment, a plan was followed similar to that of the Piermont and Carlsbad Spas, to which per sons may resort without restraint, only the Gentleme.i are expected to appear in dress; the Ladies appealing in what are called fancy hats. The following were announced as Ladies Patronesses: The Coun tess of Cavan, Viscountess Duncan, Lady Catherine Boiirke, Lady Elizabeth Bourke, Lady Louisa Bourke, Lady Burdett, and Lady Otway. The New Rotunda was set apart for dancing. A 'room was also appropriated for card., with the long -room adjoining the Rotunda for the promenades, as well as the two conservatories, which were filled with orange trees, bearing fruit, exotics, choice flowers. &c. which were brilliantly illuminated with or-molu lamps. The company began to arrive some time before eight o'clock, at which hour an instrumental concert com menced, stfter which quadrilles began. In the course of the evening Bishop's Airs were played most delighttully. Dancing continued till the time fixed for the close of the entertainment, viz. elevin o'clock. By this means, inva lids may view the gay and lively scene as they prome nade in the long room. Lady Riversdale, all the Ladies patronesses, and most of the throng of Nobility which grace this place were present, and the whole number was about three hundred. ENGLISH OPERA House.—After the Romance of the Death Fetch, the Comic Operatta Elvis to Die for Love was revived at this Theatre Monday night. The Captains were respectably re presented by BAKU. and Brim, and the two roguish servants very drolly by CHAPMAN and Miner, and the whole performance was received with laughter and applause. The melodrama of Tao Wo►ds followed, and we were again gratified by seeing our favourite Miss ICZLLY, as Rosabdle, the heroine. Her performance was re compensed by enthusiastic marks of approbation. Vat belle was ably sustained by PZARMAN, and La Fleur, by Kmar. Mr. W. CHAPMAN played 7insrsere very respectably, and it is needless to say Demmer made a good Sir Heldobrand. The House was well attended ROTTERDAM, AUGUST 26.—The demand for colo nial produce continues, and Sugars have advanced groot. A public sale of 1,500 bags inferior Java Coffee went off well yesterdiy-61 to 6! stivera were paid ; and a lot Of good ordinary quality fetched 61. Rice is wanted, and New Carolina is quoted 50 schillings. rie Trading Company's Bonds fell 1 per cent. to-day : various reasons are assigned for this. The English holders of these securities are said to be selling out—a meditated change in the direction is, however, generally asserted to have had the effect mentioned. M. Vander Pole, the President, it is said, is .to be succeeded by M. Schinime Gamninck. The French brig the Cantabre, captured at sea, and carried inte Goree by the French frigate Flora, was confiscated by judgment passed in that Colony, on the 22d of May last, for the contravention of the laws re specting the Slave Trade. The Cantabre having been sent to Brest, a proceeding has commenced before the Maritime Tribunal of that Port, charging the Captain with piracy and homicide, committed on board the brig in the course of her voyage.

The Correspondent of a Country Paper says, sickness prevails from the hot weather, and that two or three glasses of good wine a day should be drank by all who can afford it. Certainly no one can object to a pre ventive medicine like this. All accounts from the hop districts concur in repre. sensing the present crop as one of the very finest that ever grew. The effect of the great productiveness of this year's growth has completely destroyed for the present all idea of speculation in the dealers. aid hops are down at least 70 per Cent. _ The Navy Board has issued a series of new regola lions, to be observed for the messing of officers and sol diers on board transports, which must add considerably to the comfot t of such a valuable branch of his Majesty's service. The master of a transport is to keep a suffi cient and respectab:e tab'e, including breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper, and a pint of good wine per day for each officer. The entire charge for the mess is not tc, be paid until the termination of the voyage, when the master must produce a cert.ficate from the Command ing Officer, stating that he treatei the Gentlemen of the mess well, and the transports must not sail for their des tination until both the agent of transports and Com manding Officers of troops embarked are satisfied that the stock laid in is good and sufficient.

DUBLIN, AUGUST 26.—The reception which Earl FITZWILLLAM received among his numerous tenantry in the County of Wicklow has been of the most grati fying nature. On Tuesday week this venerated Noble man gave a most magnificent and sumptuous dinner to the respectable portion of his tenantry. The houses of most of the Gentlemen deriving under his Lordship were splendidly illuminated, particularly that of Cap tain Jorva,s, at Collatton. It deserves to be recorded, that his Lordship allows an annual pension to every 'widow on his eatensive estates, during the term of their lives. - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. - ••••10 .- • EGHAM RACES; Finn Fast, Attevelt-29.. . The minual sports of the famed Runnymede tonstherteed .pester day. It was expected that bis Majesty would have honoured the sports with his presence, and many hundtedi were doubtless drawn to Egbam on that accdunt ; but, whatever his Majesty's eriginal Intention might hale been, the spectators were not to-day gratified with the Royal pretence. The weather in the morning was showery, but not sufficient* , so to have any beneficial effect on the turf; which cotitinues haid. It Was exceedingly well attended, the equipages being unusually splendid and namerous. The Stewards' stand was occupied by Ladies bf titti and fashion; and had a very brilliant appearance. The booths, as temporary stands, were also filled with respectable females. Of pickpockets and gaming tables there was the Usual profusion; but the forma were too closely watched by the "robin-red-breasts" to be successful.

Yesterday a numerous assemblage of the admirers of this ancient English sport again assembled at tile Eagle Tavern, in the City road, at an early hour, to witness the double players contend for the prizes. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather in the forenoon, some matches were played, and two more double players were added to the list of the preceding day, vie. Perdue, Cornish; and Frost, Devon; making twelve only to compete for the prizes. While the double play matches were arranging, some vet y good private matches were played for different sums, raised on the ground, amongst whom Cann, a Devonshire man, was eminently conspicu ous, but was too late to be admitted as a double player. At four o'clock the double players entered the ring. Warren, I Cornish man, and Middleton, a Devonshire man. Warren threw Middleton ialhe most complete and decisive manner in two adulates. Warren is a favourite with the Cornishmen. Pyle and Avery, both Devonshire men, next entered c msl played much science for ten minutes, during which several falls were given, but none of them were decisive but the last, when Avery was thrown. Moyle, a Cornishman, and Clarke, a Devonshireman, were the next, and an excellent match they were ; both were alternately down several times, but no decisive fall took place for thirty minutes. At length Clarke was thrown.—(Great shouts from the Cornishmen.) Thorn and Babb, both Dcvonsbiremen, were next called on; and Thorn, a most excellent wrestler, found a troublesome customer in Babb. After fourteen minutes' excellent play, Babb was thrown. Batson, a Devoushireman, and Perdue, a powerful Cornishman, next entered, owing to the absence of Spargoe, when Perdue was thrown in about five minutes. Spargoe not appearing, which much displeased the Cornishmen, Warren, a Cornishman, and Pyle, a Devonshire man, were called in the ring for the standard play. Much betting took place on this rencontre, both being track men. Pyle was thrown in two minutes. Moyle, a Cornishman, and Batson, a Devonshireman, thep eft. tered, when Moyle was thrown. Thorn and Frost, both Devonshiremen, next entered, when Frost was thrown almost instantly. The contest was new reduced to three, viz.—Warren, a Cornish man, and Thorn and Batson, Devonshiremen ; lots were drawn, and Thorn and Batson were first to enter the ring, when Batson was thrown. Warren and Thorn Were now only to compete for the first and second prise, being the crack men of each county as we yesterday mentioned. Warren proved himself the stronger man, and held Thorn in his arms, and ultimately threw him, but much doubt was expressed as to its ►eing a fair back fall; two of the three umpires giving i: as their opinion that it was not a fair one, according to the Devonshire mode, the other umpire considering it was. Mr. Rouse, the proprietor of the Eagle, accompanied by a most respectable wit ness, then told Warren to come forward again, which he declining, the hrs: prize will be awarded to Thorn. ARCHERY. Saturday se'nnighr, the subscription prize by the Royal Company of Archers (King's Body Guard), was shot for In Hope Park, in Edinburgh, and won by James Tudy. Kau. W.S.

MARGATE, AUG. 28.—Tile season here will be soon at its height, as the steamers are constantly arriving crowded with visitors. Those floating places of amuse ment keep the company in constant good humour, and when the passengers land on shore it has no abatement. The entertainments are various, and health and hilarity go hand in hand. Scarcely a step you advance that you do not come in contact with some friend or acquaint ance whom you supposed you left behind in his count ing house in London, or following his ordinary business amidst the bustle and smoke of ti ,e Metropolis. The usual salutation is, " Eh, who would have thought to have ever met you here ?"—and the answer, if answer it can be called, is, after a hearty shaking of hands, " and what in the name of wonder has brought you to Margate ?" After some interesting colloquy of the same sort, all parties next fix on their round of amusements, to fill up the time which otherwise would hang heavy, during an absence from business.
