The BRITISH Pees comm fi enced publkhing yesterday moroirg at ve o'clock. LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1824. The official and other intelligence which we publish this morning from India, will be found to be highly im portant. The expedition under Sir ARCHIBALD CAMP- In LI. captured Rangoon on the 11th of May. This place is ...re principal seaport of the Ilunnese, and the chief mart for teek timber. A faint resistance only was offered to the British arms; the Burmese authorities, having been seized with a panic, fled, with nearly all the inhabitant s of the town, into the neighbouring jungles. The ra pidity of Sir AREIIIIIALD CANTRELL'S movements en abled him to save the lives of twelve Europeans, who had been thrown into irons at Rangoon, avowedly to be put to death, if the British General would not grant cer tain terms to the Ray woon of Rangoon. Only one Eng lishman now remains in the power of the barbarous Court of An. The island of Cheduba had also fallen into the bat e.z cf ;he British. The utmost vigour and prompti tude have been displayed by our Indian Government, and we may, confiding in the success with which superior skill and valour are almost invariably crowned, look upon the capture of these places as the harbingers of our certain t-iumpli over the haughty Sovereign of the Burman Empire. From the private letters from Bombay, it ap pears that an opinion prevailed, that the war would be pro longed much beyond the duration which it was origitially expected to have, and consequently that the expenses of the contest would be greatly aggravated. This opinion seems to be founded on the obet:nate resistance made by some detached parties of the enemy in the vicinity of Rangoon. A report was also in circulation when the advice. left Bombay, that the Burmese bad succeeded in surprising Dacca and Chittagong. We have no confirmation of this tcpui t from any quarter, except that two large ships be longing to Bombay had been ordered to proceed from Madras to Chittagong, with troops to meet thevnemy iu that quarter. It was said that the British had sustained a lon of 500 men in defending Chittagong ; there can be no doubt that this is at any rate a gross coaggeration. Chittagong will soon again acknowledge its subjection to England, and the enemy will be driven back with a severe chastisement within the limits of his territory. We regret to find, by our private letters, that that dread ful disease, the cholera morbus, had carried off great numbers of our countrymen in India. At Calcutta, Sir CHRISTOPHER PULLER, the new Chief Justice, was parties, and seem determined not to submit without a struggle. The contest is likely to be !urger than was anticipated, and the Bombay ships will probably not return here for sonic months. 'Clic Cambridge. shout to bad for England, has procured the cnorniens freight of 1 .7. a ton. The warlike measures on the other aide of India have not had any effect on the money market ; nor are likely to bare any, unless they an! protracted beyond the expected time.

Ji•Nr 20. Sir John Macdonald, K.C.8., a Lieutesiant•Gentral in the lion. Company's Service, died in llalcutta on Saturday last, aged iii. Ilia remains were intents! yesterday evening between Live alld aix o'clock, attended by his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, all the General Staff, and a large body of Civilians, who assembled to poy the last tribute of respect to one of the oldest officers of the Uormarable l'ornrany's Service in India. llf our private minces from l'aletitts, we learn that Major John Mac Donald, of the Military Establishment of Fort St. George, had been appointed Envoy to the Court of Persia. Capmin Henry Willed, of the same establishment, had been appointed Secretary and Assistant to the British :Mission; Lieutenant J. R. Campbell, of the same establishment, to be the Second Assist. ant; Mr. Assistant-Surgeon Mageath, of the same establishment, to be Nlediral Officer attached to the Mission; and I.inster , nt R. Mac Donald of the belt Bengal Native Infantry, had been ap. pointed to command the escort; Lieutenant Strong of the Bom bay European Regiment hail been appointed to command the es cort, attached to the political agent in the Persian Gulf, and is di. meted to proceed to ltushire by the tirst opporrunit. P.ovin•Y y , Jr NE 21. I shall not repeat the accounts respecting the capture of Rangoon, which rust will hare front other quarters. The fcors of the inhabit ants of Cale:lt:a for their property are much abated, and we hope will not he renewed. The charm 'wrings continues to make great ravages here, but as yet principally among the natives. A Parsee family of live, the man, wife, and three children, fell under it in twenty. four hours. A Sepisy, his wife, and two children, in four hours. Two of our servants have fallen vietinia. These few instances will convey an idea of the degree in which it prevsils, and of its appalling chase. ter. As yet it has not prevailed among ourselves to any extent, though there has been a satious aria or two. One of the pursers was rear:7 lost. Last ni i .lbtt we received the Brussds Papers of Friday From Tritstc we learn, that the GUANO I.TAN is urging the States of Birbary to s.md their respective contingents to augment the Turkish navy. The successes of the Greeks compel the Mahutnctans to consolitlate their strength. The Poss.': is manifestly unable of himself to withstand the revolted Christians. The following arc ex tracts : [From the Oracle Ile Bru.relies.l AtOt , BrIIII,SEPT. 30. We learn by letters from Trieste that - news has been received there that the Semi' aw has sent positive orders to the Barbary States to finish immediately a certain number of ships of war, to join the CarITAN PACIIA. The Bey of ALGIERS. who at the begianing et the mummer could not furnish his contingent, has been warned that he must now send a more considerable number, WU' that the St:l.Tarl will not listen to any excuse. On the other hand, it is affirmed that the British Ambassador at Constantinople had obtained from the SuLTAN a finnan, positively enjoining the Barbary Powers to rettaingfioni all hostilities towards Laropean vessels. This finnan is said to have arrived at Algiers some days after the Pry had declared war against Spain, and threatened other secondary Powers, such as Naples, Sardinia, and the Netkilands. It is thought that the DET. who has no interest in embroiling himself with the Porn; will return to mar,: pacitic sentimints. The PostrE will insist as much as possible on the execution of its lirri.an, for the AI Brine pirates might easily attack the weak Austrian marine which cruises in the Adriatic ; and Austria, so near a neh_ffibuur to Turkey, would not want means to make the Ottoman Government indemnify it for the injitty done to its ma line by the Barbary pirates. BRUSSELS, OCT. 7. The Countess of Sustettstras and her family, after baving . so long resided in this city, is going, we hear, to settle at Rome with Luct Ex llowaraate, who inhabits the capital of the Christian world. JOSETIII BOWATAIITE scents resolved to remain in Arne. rico, where he cultivates the tine arts, improves his estates, and on all occasions remembers his unhappy countrymen whom fate has tarried to the coentry where he can be useful to them. The States of the Port and Tuscany are the parts of Italy bi which those who have fallen from their former greatness prefer seeking hospitality. ITURDIDt, iii.StiVised, left Leghorn blow. to go and meet his I fate in Mexico ; rind the ex.Qucea of Hayti is going to reside in the flue climate of Florence. Letters have been received in the City from Canada, giving an account of the feelings of the inhabitants of that colony on the subject of the Canada Company. All these accounts seem to agree, that it will have the most bene tidal effects on the colony, and many of them entertain the most magnificent ideas as to the wealth, splendor, and improvement it is about to introduce. Truth, we sus pect, holds case, as iu most others, lies in the medium. The following is an extract from one of the most reason able loters we have seen on the subj,•et : •4 We are all very much pleased here with the intelligence you have seat us of the propased Canadian Company; indeed it now seems astonishing to the good people in these parts, how the large capitalists at home were so long of thinking of so feasible a scheme fee investing their property; but the fact bt, that though this is the most important colony Great Britain poetesses (?), you folks at home know nothing at all about it. The Company, if conducted as proposed, will, by furnishing capital, and giving an impetus to industry, advance us in improvement at least half a century beyond what we would hare been without such a stimulus." Though we have not guile sa high an opinion of the importance of Canada to tireat Britain as this gentleman entertains, we have no doubt that the Company will be highly advantageous to that rising colony. Let tcrs have been received bv a mercantile house in the City, from Batavia, via Amsterdam, dated stli May. They state that every species of produce is remarkably dear. Cof fee, on board an English ship, Ii dollars and a half; sugar, seven dollars 66 c. ; freight to England, U. 10s. per ton. They complain of the l)utch celciiial regulations, which we formerly adverted to, and state that the markets are completely overstocked with European articles, particularly piece-goods, of which the sales are slow, but not much lower in price than formerly. At this rate, including freight and charges, we can purchase coffee cheaper in England than in Java. Did the uselessness of our present Corn Laws require to be exposed, nothing conld do so more forcibly than a fact which is at this moment patting under our immediate ob servation. Every one knows that two months ago, with the prospect of one of the finest harvests in the memory of man before us, the speculators of Mark-lane managetl to raise the price of oats so high as to open the ports for that. grain: Tile result is, that the influx of oats from Holland and other parts has been so great, that the market will be inevitably overstocked ; and the consequence of this exces sive supply must necessarily be, that the home-grown oats will not riford to the cultivators a remunerating, price. An eft ct of their cheapness will be, that oats will be used extensively for the purposes of distillation. Bar- FASHIONABLE INTELLICEACE.

Ile has upon one oeca. ,ion, and one only, iwesided in the Supreme Court at the heating of a cause, when, indeed, it must have been OM one to all present, that he possessed, in no ordinary degree, high qualities for the judgment s cat ; a clear and qu i c k perception, and a calm and dign ified temper; es:Meetin g facts u ith most patient investigation, and deckling upon them with prompt judgment. In this Presidency much of the business of the profession of the law is transacted be fere a Judge at Chambers ; and many subjects of com plaint are there laid before him in she shape of petitioes. Sir Christopher l'uller sat two whole weeks at Clis t e ce „ , in his turn, as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; sL m the facility and readiness of his despatch of the Ix:sisa l s brought before him excited observation. The professimal gentlemen, who have bcen in attendance before this cacti lent Judge, will do justice to his merits ; their habits of business will have enabled them to appreciate his qualifi cations, and I sin sure that they can have but one opinion, that these qualifications were of the highest order. To the supplicant by petition he was at once the kind friend and righteous judge, lending li:s aid in all casts within his ju risdiction that appeared to require it, and dismissing with kindness thew which he hail no power to redress. N o one has preferred a petition to him without the satisfaction, either of obtaining the relief he was entitled to, or of being conscious that his coinplaiut had been carefully considered, and was dianiissed only for want of the means of applying a remedy by summary jurisdiction. Thus had the late Chief Justice, in the short space of five weeks from his arrival in Calcutta,' established a cha racter which gave a happy restage of the benefits the p.th lic were likely to have derived from his strict admitaistra- thin of justice, if it had pleased the Almighty to here per mitted him to mouth) amongst us. But be has thouOit proper to call ibis pure spirit from the Tanitila of 'hi world to place it, as we may surely hope, in those regions, where " is a reward for the righteour. Sir Christopher Pullet was a scholar of high attainments: in his boyhood he gained early el:stifle:ion by his profi ciency at Eton College, of which he was one of the many illustrious ornaments; from this school high character fof lowcil him, and kept pace with his career at the Univesity of Oxford, where, as a member of Christ Church, be gaited high academical honours, and established a repute. Lion for morality, integrity, industry. and ability, wllith he sustained throughout his meritorious life. Ile became first known to the public as the joint reporter with his • friend Mr. Sergeant Besanquet, of caws decided in the Courts of Common Pleas, Exchequer Chamber, and House of Lorde. This was before he was called to the Bar, and during his pupilage under that eminent and virtuous Juke Mr. Justice Bayley. The superior merit of the reports has uniformly been acknowledged, as well from the Bench as from the Bar. For many loam he had maintained a high rank as an Advocate in the Court of King's Bench, and on the Oxford Circuit ; and of late had become King's Counsel, anti one of the leaders of the Circuit. His pro tlissional course in England was such as justitied his frienes in the expectation that he would he in due time called to the Bench there. Of such expectations he must be sup posed to have been in some degree conscious ; yet he did net hesitate Ed forego them, in the hope of being useful upon a more extended spite cin India. As soon as he h3d beta appointed to the high station which his Sovereign I ad selected hint to fill in this country, he set about acquiring knowledge of the history, laws, customs, and languages of India: and he pursued his inquiries with to much perre verance and discrimination, that he soon laid a foublation fur the more extended research which his residence in this country would have cpened to him. His great object and aim was to be useful in India!--to aid the great work of disseminating knowledge and religious instruction—mil to preserve and continue to the millions who look up to this Government for protection, the benefits of British juris prudence. This is but an imperfect outline of the public character of him whose light has beamed for a moment only in our horizon : happy had it been for us if the dimensaticeis of the Almighty had permitted him to run his course through out the perfect day. Let us, however, humbly bur eur heads to the will of God, for he "is the Judge ;Ile pout th down one,and seteeth up auother," and " His footsteps are not known." If the writer cf this had thonght that it would be proper cn the present OCC3gOD to disclose the private character f the late Chief Justice, he must have declined such a duty, from a consciousness of his unworthiness to do justice to it. Let it suffice here that he was A man of singular piety, vir tue, and benignity. His religion was not in the mowli alone, but was deeply and permanently settled in his mind. Well versed in the Ilk Scriptures, (which lie was in the constant habit of reading, and considering with that sing . e. mai and simplicity of mind, which is b. et fite d for the reception of the truths of Divine Revelatine.) he was a Christian in Ftith and Practice. In him, all who kn him, could "mark the perfect man, and behold the up right," and " the end of that man is peace." • He arrived in Calcutta in the night of Wednesday, the 13:h of April, and was taken ill on Tuesday the 113th inst.

Parts, OCT. P.—The English Journals seem to attach much importance to the movements of our tro ,ps in the Colonies, and yet nothingis enure simple. It is in execu tion of the Ordinance of the 31st of December, 100, con fiding to the rand forces the service in the Colonies. Tha movement caused by the exchange of marine troops f land troops, which is now everywhere taking place, will cease as soon as it is efrected. There will then be only regular changes. Our squadron of radiation has returned to the Nlediterrancet.—letede. • The Journal des Dcbats mentions in a letter from Nfselriel of the i/th ult., that keen discussions wen: carried on in that capital respecting the financial operations of M. Z.A, which were said to have failed. The two preinninary pro positions for a new loan could not of course be entertained by that power which hail 'brow /4y so peremptorily rejected 111021. These propositions were the acknowledgment of the debra of the Cortes, by acc:pting them to the Imo• nt of twenty per cent. in a new loan, and the security of the church property for the repayment of both. As they could not be agreed to, M. Zea was obliged to declare that he could not, on any other terms, obtain a luau in Frame or England. t;rreler the date of Berlin, October 4, we find it stated in the Ilamburgh papers received yesterday, that the reported reductions in the public expend►ture of Prussia have et yet been decided upon.

The performances at this Theatre continue to attract respectable and crowded audiences, at which, indeed, we are not surprised, as the Managers get up their entertain ments in a very superior manner, and they, generally speaking, arc of a very interesting and pathetic nature. The ILruba, or Me Indium Pirate, now performing here, belongs to this class, although the story is somewhat too intricate for detail ; vet we may say that the acting of Mrs. Young and Mr. /1. Kemble in some of the scenes ex cites an almost painful interest. We ought not to omit ncticiug the marine scenery of this drama, which is singu larly true and beautiful, on which evidently a ereat deal of attention has been bestowed. The 11.;euba was followed last night by her Freisehutz, of which as we have before spoken so largely in commendation, we shall only now add, that its attractions contmue unabated. We were glad to see that the state of the house last night was such as abundantly to satisfy the hopes of the proprie tors of this theatre. We wish that this encouragement may continue, as we feel assured that the exertions of the pro prietors deserve it. ADELPH I. During the recess this Theatre has undergone consi derable alterations and improvements. A dress circle has been formed, and the whole has been entirely re-decorated in rather a novel and tasteful manner; the gilt ornaments to the front of the boxes are laid on a ground composed of race-colour and white stripes, giving it a pleasing appear ance of lightness and elegance. The private boxes are lined with rich crimson flock paper, with silk draperies to correspond. The proscenium gives the appearance of a variegated fan, most richly embossed with burnished gold, and the scenery is equally superb. The orchestra has been enlarged, sufficiently to contain a band of upwards of forty performers, it being the intention of the proprietors to open with a new musical piece, from which they have great ex pectations, and on which no expellee has been spared; the chorusses in it being on the same scale as those of the Italian Opera: and we are happy to say the other parts of the Company have been equally attended to, as, in ad dition to the numerous favourites of last season, many new and approved performers have been added ; in fact, nothing which could contribute either to the amusement or comfort , of the audience has b:en neglected. On Sunday Morning, between twelve and one o'clock, his Royal Highness the Duke of York arrived at his residence, Stable Yard, St. James's, from Newmarket. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Feodor, honoured Covent-garden Theatre with their presence last evening. Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, the Duke of Mciningen arrived in town from Bushy. In the evening his Serene Highness also honoured Covent-garden Theatre, with his presence. Mr. and Mrs. Canning gave a large dinner party on Saturday at Gloucester Lodge, Brompton.

" why should the charge be 'higher' elsewhere than in Germany? should the German glass manufacturer, for instance, undersell the Englishman in any foreign market?" This writer, had lie been well acquainted with his subject, would have known that the Germans can neither produce cut-glass of equal brilliancy with the Eng lish manufacturers, nor bring any article of that manufacture into competition with it at a lower. price. They can only attempt this in the articles of plate-glass and common win dow-glass, and even here this country can come into the foreign market on equal terms. But without stopping to inquire whether the fact be as he states it, he proceeds forthwith to account for it. "If the sale of the article," . . . says he, "be checked by an excess of price beyond that of the foreign manufacturer, must not the reason be looked for in some different cause than that of scarce materials, insufficient capital, or inferior skill? At the Custom house, we dare say, Sr. instructive explanation might be af forded of this preference given to German industry over British. Enormous excise duties, it is notorious, arc levied here on this beautiful and most useful fabric under coma-' &ration ; and not having the thick volume of Custom-house law before us, we do not bear in memory how much, or whether any, drawback is granted upon the exportation of the article; but the mortifying fact is, it seems, recorded, that Germany—poor, slow, clumsy Germany—beats Eng land out of competition with her in a manufacture which England has brought to as high perfection as any other country on the globe, and in a country which it behoves the British nation to occupy before every other." But the writer who talks so familiarly of the Custom house and Custom-house law, and who indirectly ascribes the successful competition of the Gennan over the English manufacture, in the article of glass-ware, to the " enor mous excise duties," is confessedly ignorant of the im portant fact, that not only is this duty not paid on this article when exported, but a bounty is in effect given upon it, which enables the English manufacturer to enter the' foreign market without any dread of being undcrsol.i. He is constrained to acknowledge his ignorance as to how much, or whether any drawback is granted upon the export ation of that article." But what can induce any writer to enter on a subject, for the discussion of which be is, upon his own showing, so completely disqualified? The first fact which he ought well to have known, before lie des canted on the effect of " the enormous excise duties" on this article, in enabling " the poor, slow, clumsy German" to beat England out of competition, should have been, whether these duties were token •:lis upon exportation or nut; because if they are, the whole of his argument, with all its invective, falls to the ground. Now the fact is, the DUTY is V. Ns. per sot., and the drawback is 61. 35., thus giving virtually a bus 'sty on exportation of H. Ss. per cwt. From the article of glass he proceeds to the other article, that of broad cloths. "How conies it," lie asks, "that in one of our grea t staple manufactures, the Saxons should outstrip us in the favour or taste of the South Americans?" And, not pre- suming that his readers have sagacity enough to solve so important a question, he answers it himself, and he does it in language as remarkable for its elegance as its perspi cuity :—" Why, it is the paradox and humbug that have been played if by our system of taxation upon the various growths of wad !" This intelligence will no doubt greatly enlighten the commercial world ; but if, peradventure, they should not understand the sublime flight, he has other causes at hand. " The foreign journeyman," he informs us, " eats at less expense, and can, therefore, manage to work for less wages than tint more dexterous and intelligent Englishman. But the advantage on the side of the foreigner is, in its nature, permanent, while that of our countryman diminishes every day. The German acquires more knowledge with expe rience, and emulates the Englishman, at last, in skill and dexterity ; while, unfortunately, the English workman con limns pretty stationary its point of stomach : experience does not refine his appetite mas to content himself with a smaller loaf; he cannot, therefore, the price of bread being the same, retrograde in the price of labour, as the foreigner advances with rapidity. This comes of the Coast Laws." The Journalist then proceeds, in a style which rivals the Black Dwarf, to talk of " those well-born monopolists, the Country Gentlemen," and to assure us, that " never will the proprietors of land themselves ascertain the true and in trinsic value of their acres, until the clogs and barriers raised with so much barbarous ingenuity between the loaf and the poor man's mouth, shall have been abolished." Did it never occur to this sagacious politician that the price of bread is, in the end, made cheaper by insuring a I remunerating price to the Agriculturists, and thus encou raging the home cultivation? Did he ever ask himself' how the " well-born monopolists," as he is pleased to call the Country Gentlemen, are to bring their grain into the market at the same price with the foreign grain, which pays neither tithes nor poor-rates? What does he think, more over, would become of the grain of Ireland, which looks for its consumption to the English market, if the Corn Laws did not exist, anal an unrestricted importation were al lowed? That the low price of bread is a great benefit to the labouring classes is a truism, which, taken in the ab stract, and without reference to its cause or its continuance, no one will dispute; but what it most behoves us to inquire I is, can the fanner continue to cultivate corn at a price which does; not remunerate him, while he is thus under sold by the importer of Continental grail'? Because if he cannot continue to do so, and is induced to throw the greater part of his arable land in pasturage, the inevitable consequence must be, that the home market of supply will become so contracted, that either the price, from scarcity, becotnts enormous, or we are lett at the mercy of the spe culators, who will import what quantity they please, and will sell at a monopoly price. Thus situated, a year of scarcity on the Continent would subject us to all the evils and misery of famine, and the dogs and hairier. between the loaf and the J'lor man's ',south, would be something more than, as here it is, a foolish and unmeaning metaphor.
