It now appears, how ever, that the county y is in a miserable state, and its Go vernment in complete disorganization. kis estimated that when the war commenced, the Burmese army con sisted of not less than 100,000 men, and that after the battle of Pegham, it was doubted whether 10,000 could be collected together in the country. The remains of this force appear to have dispersed, and formed them saves into bands of robbers and marauders; as, since the peace was made, the people of Per had been most severely harassed by them, in violation of the treaty, which declared their sovereign, the King of Ave, inde pendent of the Burmese empire. The country of the Peguese is the most healthy and fertile of any is that part of India, and therefore has always been a jealous object of prey to their ferocious lawless neighbours . It will be the business of our shipi of war to see to the quiet cession of the provinces of Martaban, Mergui, Tavoy, and Yea, which territories are in future to be a part of the kingdom of Ava. The dispatches brought home in the Arachne were in charge of Lieutenant Smith, R.N. who was absent from his ship, with a party of seamen, fourteen months, living principally during that time in open boats, and exposed to the deleterious miasma of the prolific vegetable matter of the low swampy maysher which almost cover the country.— Hampshire Mlegraph.

The Berlin Gazette mentions, hut merely as a report, that the Emperor Nicholas, after his coronation as King of Poland, will pay a visit to Vienna, and that on that occasion there will be grand reviews in the neighbour hood of that capital. The Middeihurg Gazette says, that the English, of whom there was a great number at Ostend, at the mo ment of the explosion, nave assembled to return thanks to GOD for their escape from the disaster, and to pray for the victims of this unfortunate accident. M. Adr. Van Deinse, the Protestant clergyman, preached on Thursday a sermon suitable to the occasion, the text of which, was Psalm 46. v. ix. On the following day there was a charity sermon, which was very numerously attended, and a handsome sum Was collected.

The parties fired, and Mr. P--$O-1 was slightly wounded in the arm. The East India Company's ship Berwickshire arrived in the Bengal river the ed, and the Thames the 6th of May. The caveat entered against the proof of the will of the late Mr. FAIIOOIIAR is, we understand, withdrawn; and letters of administration will be granted to Mr. ?Lam, one of the nephews of the deceased, in November. The tax upon the probat, in the first instance, will amount to upwards of 13,0001. and eventually the whole duty to be paid to Government under the administration will be between 40 and 50,0001. Lord PALMERSTON is employing a number of his tenantry in bringing into cultivation a large tract of waste and un cultivated bog and morass near Mullaghmore, where his Lordship and the Fishery Board are building a pier to afford protection to vessels in Donegal Bay; from thence his Lordship proposes to have a rail way to Belleek, which will connect Enniskillen with the shores et the Atlantic.

I MPORTAN T IMPROVEMENT IN THE NAVY.—Thursday all the Naval Captains of the ships at Portsmouth assembled en board his Majesty's ship GaLaxa.a, at Spitbead, to inspect the work ing of her boat guns (carronades), which had been fitted by Lieut. HAMAN...I4 R.N. ea his new plan, with springs, to do away the ne cessity of tackles,and consequently the labour of running therms out. The pinnaces of the GALATZA and Pv maims had their guns mounted, the former according to the present invention, the latter on the usual plan. At a signal given, both boats commenced firing together, and continued to de so for about four minutes and a half, during Ma& time, the PYSLAWDeII pinnace fired eight rounds, to do which the mil were obliged to lay in the three foremost oars on each side, whist the GAIATZA'S boat fired 15 rounds, and the men had on meadow to lay in more than one oar on each side. The advantages of Lieut. HALANAes plan, therefore, was most evidently proved, espe daily also as the boat can pull and work the guns at the same time. Besides, the gun recoils so easily, that during the thirteen rounds that were fired, it did not once come back to the breeching, so that any boat capable of bearing the weight of a gun, may have one mounted. and fire it as often as may be wished, without the least risk of either shaking or straining the boat. Moreover, the machi nery is so very simple, that it can be taken yr, replaced in two minutes, and when off, the gun is the same ai any miter. The in specting officers were unanimous in approving of this important im provement in Naval gunnery. DRURY LANE THEATRE ..-71te Wonder was repeated on Saturday night. Mr. HoOPER played the part of Colonel Briton, fur which be had been announced on a former occasion. His figure is sufficiently good, and his deportment is easy; he appears accustomed to the business of the stage, and, from his manner, seems to have been usually engaged in representing tops and whimsical characters, riher than in the personation of the fine gentlemen of comedy. He was well received. WALLACE and Miss E. Tate* played with increased effect as Don Felix and Violente. The play was fol lowed by A Kirland for an Oliver. The novelties in the cast were Miss A. TREE as Maria Darlington, Mr. 1100111111 as Highflyer, and Mr. L. Titorarsos, from York, as Fixture. Mr. THOMPSON has a strong accent, and remarkable rusticity in aspect and deportment.— He is probably better suited to humourous than to pas sionate characters. DowroN, in Jir Mark Chase, was, as usual, natural and effective. THE ARMY IN IRELAND.

It has been reported to the Commander-in-Chief, that strict attention has not, in all cases, been observed to the Orders issued on the 45th of April, 1822, relative to the dress and uniformity of Regimental Officers according to patterns approved by his Majesty, lodged at the Clothing Board, and explained in a descriptive book circulated with the said order. His Royal Highness desires, that the attention of Gloat's and Commanding Officers may be drawn to this subject, and that they may be apprized of his intention to take the most serious notice of any unauthorised deviations or expensive additions of embroidery or lace to the dress of Officers as detailed in those regulations; which were framed to support general uniformity, and to protect Officers, and particularly Infantry Officers, from the weight of Unnecessary expense. By Command of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General.

It is impossible for us to read the accounts received from the Manufacturing Distr,icts during the last fort night, without congratulating ourselves anJ our reader e upon the consoling picture which they present. From Manchester we are informed that the improvement in trade generally has been steady through the week, prices are obtained beyond those of last week, and the stock of goods on hand is greatly reduced. From Hodder s. field the accounts are still more cheering. The mar ket day preceding the date of our information was well at tended, a demand of ten per cent. advance in the price of goods was made by the seller, and five per' tend. was given by the buyers in most cases, and the trans action wai accompanied by a remark on the part of the seller that no more would be sold so cheap. From Leeds also the accounts are equally favourable. For the last six weeks the change for the better has been of the most decisive character, the number of unemployed is gradually diminisMing, and malty of those who were par tially employed are getting into full work without any material reduction of wages. From Glasgow; Bradford, Macclesfield, Halifax, and other manufacturing towns, similar accounts have been received, presenting a pros• pect of returning prosperity for the master manufactu rer, and comfort for that numerous class of our fellow subects, the workmen, who have for some time been suffering so severely, in consequence of the privations to which they have been subjected, and who, so much to their credit, with but few exceptions indeed, have bo.ne those privations with a patience and forbearance en• titling them to the highest praise and consideration,. PROVINCIAL BANK OF ENGLANWAND WALES. , Saturday, Mr. Wilks appeared before the Lord Mayor, to oppose the bail offered on an attachment laid by him against Mr. Frederick Verbeke, the brother of his former partner, on an action, to recover the sum of 241. 10s. 6d. being the alleged share of expenses incurred in the attempt to forth a Provincial Bank for England and Wales. As far as we could learn the nature of the transaction, it appeared that Mr. Wilks, when he pro jected the plan for the Provincial Batik of England and Wales, got mend persons to sign an agreement to pay a share of expenses incurred in carrying it into execution. Mr. F. Verbeke was one of the persons who signed. The plan, as every body knows, failed, after Mr. Wilks had sent circular letters to all the Members of Parliament, and had got a petition in its favour presented. He then, alter these services had :seen performed, brought in a bill for 2431. ss. 3d. against the parties for the expenses.— Nearly all refused to pay the charge, alleging that it was exorbitant, and they required a specification of the items, which,-we understood, he refused to give, or at least refused to give in a manner which they deemed satisfactory. In consequence of their refusal he gave notices of actions; and, to ensure his 241. 10s. 6d. from each, actually issued attachments from the Llrd Mayor's Court against the money in the hands of their bankers. This was the case with Mr. F. Verbeke, rho defendant, who now appeared to bail the attachment, and to un dertake to resist the demand ir. Court. Mr. Dickentoo, a respectable Solicitor, resident in New Broad. street, and Mr. Walford, the Secretary of the Welsh Iron Com pany, and brother-in-law of Mr. Wilk+, appeared to give bail. Mr. Wilk, opposed Mr. Walford on the ground that, as Secre tary to a Company, he was not a householder, hot a mere servant to the Company, and would not be entitled to give bail. The Loan Mavoa asked Mr. Wilford whether he resided in the house? Mr. Walford replied in the affirmative. The Loan Mayon was decidedly of opinion that the Secretary of a Company, resident in the house, might give bail. lie *retort. admitted Mr. Walford. Mr. Wilke opposed Mr. Dickenson. as bail, on the ground that he had the other day borrowed a guinea. The Loan MATOIL smiled at this objection, and said that he had the other day actually occasion to borrow one himself. The bail having been sworn tbat they were worth the sum of itsi. each, after having displayed some uneasiness at the opposition, as a piece of sharp- practice, were admitted. Mr. Verbeke tendered a protested bill of Mr. Willis's for £9.8 15s. as bail, but after having excited some amusement, it wai re -1 jetted as irregular. They write from Vienna, 19th September, that great bores were entertained in that Capital, of the journey of Mr. Secre buy CAIOIIIIB to Pad, as it Is supposed hb project was the pacibca • tlon of Turkey, combined with the limited emancipation of the Greeks. Quebec Papers to the 26th of August have been re ceived. but dry contain nothing of any importance. The Acasta, American packet ship, which arrived on Friday, has brought over to the ho.use of Messrs. BAIIINGS and Co. four hundred thousand SpaniTh dol lars, which was shipped on board at New York. Accounts from Puerto Cabello, dated the 22d of July, state, that the Province of Venezuela wears a gloomy aspect, that there was not a cent. in the T 1 CA. sury, and great dissatisfaction prevailed. Tice Contrac• tor of the Province was under arrest, and the merchants were all selling off at prime cost, being afraid of di.. turbances. Not less than thirty merchants , have eh:bed their doors within a few days. Ti.e private letters from Lisbon this morning state, that there was a great stagnation of business in that capital, and Mit the accounts front the different provinces state that they were in very unsettled state.
