ill • we can affirm, upon authority on which we ean entirely i rely, that Sir Artenteatn Cameezt.t and his pliant ' lowers lure entered Pitons, and that the subjugation of the Burmese Empire is complete. We have seen that these warlike natives were not a people whose hostility was :o be despised ; we have bought this experience dear ; 'alit! we cannot turn it more profitably to account than by bringing the Burmese territory wtthin the circle of the British dominion in India. The native woeld soon begin to find that their allegiar.ee was well exchanged. They would become the subjects of a protective supremacy, in steni of the slaves of a destructive despotism. Governed, se they would be, with wisdom, paid in the spirit of con ciliation, they would lose, aftir a time, their habits of pre datory warfare, 'and settle down into an intercourse to which they would insensibly mould their opinions, man ners, and modes of thinking. This is a point which de mands the most serious deliberation of the India Company, They have at present the• ball at their foot, and any other course of policy would, we think, be deeply hazardous, and would risk the throwing away the glorious result of that skill and valour, which has led to the attainment of a victory as important—looking to the crisis in whieb it was gained—as any which distinguishes the annals of British warfare in India. The eminent services of Sir Aseartaato Courant. will naturally recite inquiry as to his previous military history. We have therefore thrown together the follow ing partially, for the information of our readers. Si: iiacktsiazzi went first to India, we believe, in 1787, in tharYth, and after continuing there in active service dur ing tidrteen, years, he purchased into the 88th, and came home in 1100, and got upon the staff of Sir T. Kerr- LAND, and shortly after obtained a majority in one of tte reserved regiments. We find him next in the 71st, 41th which regiment be went to Portugal, and served with Sir J. Mooat till after the battle of Corunna, When he again returned home. The great skill in mill • attics, and his known personal intrepidity, occa tdassi him to be selected by Marshal Lord Brarsrozo :a *e taost4t iiilirer to assist in organizing the Portu guese are 4 on the British system ; his distinguished me rit raised him at this period to the rank of Lieutenant- General; he aratl under Lord UactroaD till the close of the peninsule war, during tii•vebolk of which his services were most conspicuous, and he was, in con sequent!s of them, created Gaud Cross of the Bath by his Marary, and a Knight of .the Tower and Sword by the Kato of . PORTVO•L. When the revolution brokel out Ins . that kingdom in 1820, he offered to quell it singly with his own brigade of about three thousand men. But those who ruled in the ab sence of Marshal Brazsroxo—who was with the Kure, at Rio Janeiro—bad not that firmness of purpose which the prompt acceptance of so spirited an offer required, and it was consequently not accepted. When the Coarse was appointed, they immediately ordered Sir Ariel:rearm out of Portugal, being aware of his influence with the army, and being themselves desirous to be relieved from the pre sence of a ‘ man, the energy of whose mind they feared to ' resist, and dared not venture to control. The peninsular war being etmcluded, he returned again to India in 1821, in command of the 38th regiment ; immediately on his ar rival, Lord lIAITINCIS placed him in the command of Barrackpow, in which station lie remained until he was se lected—for be was not the senior officer—to the command of the Burmese expedition. That he should have been so chosen, does great credit to the Governor-General, Lord AMHIRST, of whoa talents mad judgment it seems the fashion to speak lightly, but of whom it may be enough to remark, that he has the good-fortune to stand highest in, the adoration of those by whom he is best known. CITY, FRIDAY EIrtNIRO. This was a very inactive day in the English Stock Mar ket; and jobbers seemed inclined, after yesterday's heavy account, to take breathing-time, before they commenced new transactions. For the November account, the opening and closing price was the same, Stli I. Exchequer Bills were Si. 4s. premium, and money was easy throughout the day ; so much so, that it was lent on some securities at S per cent. Money Stock is getting extremely scarce, although the Commissioners are buying very scantily ; making their principal purchases in Exchequer Bills. The settlement in the Foreign Market to-day was a very light one, as might naturally be expected, from the limited portion of business that has been done in it since the last account day; still prices were for the most part firm— a strong evidence of returning confidence; indeed, several securities improved in value this morning. The chief business to-day was in settling balances ; but some trans actions took place in Colombian Bonds at 741 S ; in Mexican Scrip at 131 discount ; and in Guatemala ditto at 41 1 4 discount. Brazilian Scrip was reported at Si 8 discount; and the last price of old Spanish Bonds was 19, buyers. Greek Bonds were as low in the early part of the morning as 97E ; but at the end of the market a re action occurred, and they closed at 281. Danish Scrip being now all paid up, the late Loan becomes Bonds, which were to-day done at 661 7. In the Share Market there were scarcely any bargains completed, although an improvement in it appears to be confidently anticipated. Coffee continues exceedingly depressed, and no price near its value ern be obtained for it. The price of Sugar did not altogether give way; but purchases were not made with spirit, and to a very limited extent. A public sale of 37 puncheons of pure spirit from Jamaica, 39 to 37 per cent. overproof, was attempted, but it met with few buyers. Some puncheons were forced off at about Yd. above what Rum of the same strength would bring, and the rest were bought in. The supply of Grain in Mark-lane to•day was scanty, and the quotations were the ante as Wednesday. There' were two Oat and Barley vessels up this morning. Extract of a letter from Demerara, dated the Vita of August :—" The eastern coast of this colony continues to sway much from the long drought. We have lately, however. had some showers. President Wray is very ill, which retard■ the business iu our Courts. Several oihers are in the same situation, end, generally, Demerara must be stated rather sickly, but not seriously so." The following was yesterday posted at Lloyd's:—" The . Ellen, Simpson, sailed from Guayaquil 141 h March, with troop and Colombian stores, and was captured near Cape Blanco by a cutter privateer from Chiloe, and sent for the galtapigos, but the crew of the Men, assisted by some of the privateer's crew, retook their own vessel and cat-i -nn', d the privateer, and both arrit•esi at Guayaquil the 14th of April' It will be recollected that considerable interest was ex- cited in the Netherlands some time ago by the proceedings against several clergymen whose papers were seized by the police. The prosecution against one of diem, M. Muynck, has ceased, it being found that the charge was not correctly founded. The StockAolnt amette, of Sept. 27, contains an official article relative to the claims of the late Royal F dmily (mm which it appears that the su•n paid, in liquidation of all claims whatsoever, amounted to 721,3 t) rix dollars, which, at the rase of esehange, 60 scheilings, as it was at the time, made 377,133 dcllats, banco money. _ - The Corfu Gam e of Aggigast itith contains the Decree of the Oeveretsnt .. tiledlebtsCeirfu &free port.

(From the Cambridge Chronicle.] At a grand common day of this Corporation, held on the 6th of September last, the Freedom of the Borough, ac companied by a loyal and respectful address, was voted to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, for his firm and patriotic declaration against granting any further conces sions to the Roman Catholics; and his Royal highness having appointed Friday last (during his animal visit at Clieveley Park, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Rut land) to receive the same, the Mayor, (John Purchas, Esq.) with several Aldermen, Common Councilmen, and a number of respectable Burgesses, occupying thirteen carriages, arrived at Cheveley about half-past eleven o'clock, where they were kindly welcomed by his Grace the Duke of Rutland, High Steward of the Corporation, and the Marquis Graham, and Colonel Trench, Members of Parliament for the town. The rocession, consisting of the High Stew a rd, th e M a y or , Al dermen, &e. ,ireccdcd by the mace-bearers carrying the maces and other insignia of office, was then introduced into the audience chamber, where his Royal Ilighnots, with her Grace the Duchess of Rutland, and a number of noble visitera, were assembled. The Duke of Rutland then addressed his Royal Highness as follows: • hiss—The Corporation of the loyel and ancient borough of Cambridge, deeply sensible of the many private virtues which adorn the character of your Royal Highness, and cordially ad miring the principles which hare invariably ac•usted your public conduct, more especially upon that great question. which, in their estimation, involves the best interests of that key-stone of ou r glorious Constitution—the Protestant Ascendancy in Church and State, have unanimously resolved to tender to your Royal Highness anhumble and respectful tribute of their attachment; devotion, and gratitude, by soliciting you to accept the freedom of their ancient borough. Concurring moat fully in the feelings and sentiments which hare brought the Corporation of Cambridge into the presence of your Royal Highness, I cannot help expressing my aatiafitction that the present ceremony should occur at a time when your Royal Highness is permitting me the honour, and pride, and gratification. of exercising toward/ you the ditties and attentions of hospitality at this place. And at is also particularly gratifying to me, that, in virtue of the honourable ofk: %shin I hold as High Steward of the borough of Cambridge, it should be my province to read to your Royal Highness the following Address, which I can assure yen has been voted by acclamation : • To his Royal Highness Prince Frederick. Duke of York and Albany, Earl of Ulster. and Bishop of osnaliurgh, &c. &c. " The loyal and respectful Address of the Mayne. Aldermen, Common Councilmen, and Burgesses, of the Town of Cam bridge, in Common Hall assembled. " May it please your Royal Highness, " We, his Majes:y's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Mayor, Al dermen. Common Councilmen, and Burgesses, of the town of Cambridge, beg leave most respectfully to offer to your Royal Highness the tribute of our sincerest thanks for your firm, patri otic, and constitutional resistance to Catholic Emancipation evii;ced by your Royal Highness's speech upon that subject in the House of bores.

MARINERS" CHURCH SOCIETY. On Wednesday, pursuant to public advertisement, a meeting a the friends of the above Institution at Liverpool, wan held is tit Chapel of the Blue Coat Hospital, School-lane, in that town, tit Lord Bishop of Chester in the Chair. }iis Loa Della commenced his speech (on taking the Chair) by observing that it was with mingled feelings of satisfaction ire concern that he was called on to preside at this meeting—ne e faction as a Minister of the (impel, placed in the responsible s (tuition of diffusing religious instruction among the class of per sons for whose benefit this Institution was forming. end con cern at seeing AO small a number of persons before him. It was also with much regret that he had perceived a difference at opinion on so interesting, so important a subject, and he he endeavoured to conciliate all parties, and to preemie the crepe ration of all, but he had not been altogether 'successful; he how. ever looked forward to the conciliation of all the ministers oriel'. scion in this measure. It might have been expected that from the Imam number of merchants in this populous town, whose power and affluence are derived by the means of the sailors, a much greater number could have attended for the purpose of furthering the ote jects of an institution for the use of that invaluable clan of own, whose lives are risked in their service. The minds of the Christian public are awakened to s sense of that most important tenth. that vie are all bound to watch user the salvation of our brethren, more par. ticularly those with whom we are conn ec t e d by c i v il an d soc i a l ties. It would be only dealing out a series of truisms were be to coterie I on the fact of the merchants being indebted to the seamen for their opulence and prosperity. and this country for the proud station it it present occupies. Vet how miserably, for the most part, have those men been neglected, until of late years! It was the duty of oath a Oovernment as ours to make provision for those brave men; and in proportion, the merchants were also bound to make a provision for the seamen employed by them. With regard to seamen, they are a body of men who had their peculiar advantages and disadvantages in obtaining religious instruction. Their disadvantages were great ; they were debarred from the cots. forts of attending divine worship on the Lord's day ; add to this there were peculiar tempt:ilium to the life they led ow-board ship, and their personal restraint, during a long and frequently perilous voyage. rendered them liable and prone to break out into every excess ii they were not bound by religion. Their advantages were in being debarred from many of the vices and follies of shore, by being restrained on board under strict discipline. In a recent public journal, his I.ordship observed, whose columns are generally used for the propagation of morality, he had seen an article on the un. reasonableness of instilling religious instruction into the minds of this class of persons, and he was astonished to find that a journal would so far pollute its pages. [lie Lordship next alluded to the dig. *enters' ffoatine, chapel, and said that our dissenting brethren had done their duty in providing the means of religious instruction for their seamen. as it accorded with their tenets; by so doing they were saved froM neutrality' and indifference on the or,. hand, and from enthusiasm and superetition on the other. His Lordship therefore called on the meeting to provide that religious instruction for the seamen which accorded with the forms and dig. cipline of the Eeteblialteo Church. 11'as it possible to conceive that by en doing the courage of the seamen would be in the feast diminished ? or would they be less inclined to do their duty Surely not, the question answered itself ; no danger can accrue to this country by the diffusion of Christian priceiples the most minent success had attended it in the port of London, although the beneficial results would be still greater had the promoters of it made more exertione. It was a circumstance not to be lac sigl.t of that the character of the community as a Chri,trian people in foreign parts wan a matter of the utniost importance. The channel, through which the light of Christianity is diffused in many parts abroad, see, by the sole means of our seamen, and therefore it was important that the conduct of our seamen in foreign cowers , " should do justice to the exertions of the British people. Considering this was a great nautical or commercial country, the religious da ter of our seamen was of the highest importance. Ot all classes of the community sailors were most exposed to sudden death, and whet a was considered that even the longest life was still too short for prepe ration. what as awful fact to know that Po numerous a class of met, should be without the aid of religious consolation. and perhaps is the state of ignorance would be plunged into eternity. His bordsbia then commented on the beneficial results from a floating chap,; which was established at Dublin, under the auspices of the earte bishop of that city, by which numerates seamen were imbibing t s b en e t o i7 Os el pe 'ts l % of4 l nU gth d re a g r erd to the interest drationlleiri'i his Lordship took in chi t Institution, ministefrie Institution, he thought it right to say lie entered into it with perfect good faith from the beginning; he often had (wasted to lament that the subject had not been taken up with sufficient warmth by the ministers of the Established Church generally •he was bound in Joe-ice to the Committee to ley that he thou „ ht the regulations which haul been proposed by them were sufficient to obviate all objections, and he should cc' tninly give them his support. A question had arisen whether' floating Chapel was more expedient than a free Church on shore: he certainly thought that if a large commodious church multi be both near the docks where seamen and their families could mon. and it could lie consecrated, such a place of worship might per* , be preferable, but the expense of such an undertaking, and tae length of time that would necessarily elapse, were very mate , mules to this proposition ; at all events there could be no 'leer• don to proceeding in the mean Clint with a Boating chapel. 'Pte present floating chapel in this port was principally supportad by seceders from the Established Church; his Lordship did not wall to detract from the praise due to his dissenting brethren, but be wished to allude to his opposition in the }!Dose to a chest is 50 Act of Parliament, exempting floating chapels from dock does: be did it from principle, and if that were allowed, Dissenting Chapels would in time get exempted from the payment of parish retie or tithes. It was not from want of charity, for he would biased sooner pay the doek does, but it was • sense of duty which obliged him to oppose it. Regarding the conduct of the Committee of 0 ' Institution, his Lordship was afraid there was a want of a fell and confidential communication between the Clergy in large cane there gentlemen ; he did not blame the Committee. because dim had been sonic sort of notification made to the Clergy, end, if they bad attended to it, it would have been as well. If there were any curacies in the Committee's proceedings, it was to be attributed le accident and not design. His I.ordehip condoled a long spee , by earnestly calling on the public for filar asif in establidurg &sit supporting a measure of such vast benefit to our fellow creaturea At his Lordship's request, the proceedings of a former day eve read, with the regulations of the institution. In the reel" Yi SM.e observations his lemiship said he had waited on Lord Ild• trifle, who had wont/tied to present the Trustee' with a noted el% to be fitted up u a Floating Chapel. A Clergyman, with whose HIM! we were not acquainted, waled whether the Chapel sae to lie consecrated. The Bishop replied, that it amid not be consecrated : hero* the law only anthorieed consecration when they had a freeheld or an entlovenone and he presumed that • Floating Chapel meld ho t be called freehold. He should merely license the Chapel. His Lordship's answer caused some merriment in the Meettleh e A long dasultoey conversation then took place, ea the queetkr M adjournment. for the purpose of procuring the co-operation of 1' dividuals who had withdrawn themselves from the Institution: among whom are most of the Clergymen; one party it germed . wittier' for a tree church on shore, and the resent Mit tirlf i o . .; evidently in favour of a Floating Chapel.
