BLTRNFSE WAR. RHURTPORE. The followitm extract of a letter contains a detailed ac count of military operations against lihurtpore, up to the latest period of our intelligence from that place:— BIIPPITPORE, Ore. 13. The day before yesterday Lord Combermere advanced on the place from the Malt:ewe side, just ahout the time our cavalry bri gade appeased on the west point of Bhurtpore. A corps of cavalry, partly Bliartporeans, being seen a little way nut, a few of the Lan. cent were sent atter them, and killed and wounded several of them. Tali occasioned come tiring, and drew the guns of the plate on the bp• of cavalry, thus settling the question as to peace or war. One of the officers was slightly wounded by a spear. We lost one man, and I believe a few were wounded. The reconnoissance ass then extended to the ninth, and our troops name upon a party of the enemy, endeavouring to cut the bond which confines a beautiful sheet of water to the northwest, from which they can till their sown ditch. At this time, and probably for a day before, they had mapped a sluice, Rhone live feet broad , through which the water was posting in torrents. in this our men could do nothing, and our Cavalry brigade come back to camp. It is to be regretted that Lord Cfmbenuere shcold apparently have been overruled, Ps his advance *as with the means and intention of seising the bond and stopping the water issuing; and, in fact, Lord Combermere had just at that Wipe cent* to a Weight on the north-east of the place, about one mle and a half distant., and pushed terwi.rd a brigade of infantry and some cavalry into the jungle, to go on till they had seen the plat*, and then matintid to the right towards the bond. They ad. vaned on till they saw and were discovered, and a heavy fire open ing betore their guns, they were withdrawn. After MIN another party TM pushed forward, which succeeded in stopping the sluice, and secured the bond. We have, in consequence, a very goal post, on which the right and flank of the army rests. Yesterday one troop reconnoitred the north-east face angle of the fortress, whilst another was placed at the smith-west angle, where .I.:twd Lake's last breach was, and came round the whole of the south front, and half.way up the east face. In doing the latter. the troops suddenly broke out of another thick jungle, into a wide open space, exposed to about a dozen of their batteries, the nearest not 300 yards off, with a crowd of ;heir cavalry under their walls. Those who were oataide were driven in, but the flee soon because so brisk from their guns, that we though t it advisable re retreat, and leave off . foe the day, as they were so much on the alert. The same night orders arrived for the troupe to join Lord Com bermcre's camp. The enemy in general do not seem to like leaving their walls. and have little enterprise. floe party of horse yesterday made • sort of dash. which about 20 shots stopped t hut as the fellows be gan to thicken and draw out from one of their nnmernus gates to the *met of us, we retired, after having had air view of them. The walls of the town cannot be less than tire miles round, and crowded, whenever we appear, with • great number of horsemen. 'The town wall appears to rise about 20 feet and is crowded with bastions of a large sire, all supplied with artillery, hut the parapets are weak. The point we shall probably Attack is the north-east saes, end this wilt perhaps, be decided tomorrow. ()or train will be in to-morrow, when we shall commence preparing materials; but I do not expect we shall break ground before the 20th; I he not, se, if we do, we shall be brought up tor want of stuff at the nest important time whereas, if we are not hurried, we shall have everything nearly reads to carry us into the town. I think them lately to snake • goo I defence, and suspect they hate abundance of powder and shot, by the number they have thrown away upon tes in the last three days : their powder is good. and their practice tolerable, and ta.day they treated us with a novelty in the shape of grape and shell; the latter they must hare collected from our mogszines. THE BURMESE WAR. EXTRACT Or A LETTER DATED TR9ME, 6TH DECEMBER. OR the first day of action, 2110 Burmese were left dead on the field, 290 no the second. and on the third 400 in one breach t while err Ipaa in killed and wounded amounted to 150. He hoped in •0 or Se days more they might be in powessinn of Ara (Usarnera poor.), and that now they might proceed there quietly. As yet nothing has been &me el Burt pure, but in two or three days inure we am!! have account.. (From the Calcutta Government Gozettc of Dec. 13. 18•23.) Plto3lC.—We have teccived • furth.•r portiw.i of intelligence, dersed limn serious sources, in the neighbourhood of Prome, not otherwise important than being illustrative of the confusion, caprice, and tyranny that continue to prevail at Ava. The manner in which the king of Ava received the news of the late confer:nee being about to take place is here more particularly report ed. Whe n . he first heard of the intended meeting to treat of pike, he sent off two war-boate loaded with carpets. sweetmeats. and other proteins for the Englis officers, and was much rejoiced at the prospect of settling affairs amicably. Shortly alter this, however, it was*diacovered that the King had given orders to ateembte another force, to consist of the reserved men of his first conscription, to join the main army. Whilst Na.shomeee, the person who communicates these particulars, was at Ava, the King, ittlapeeting aloon.shoorar of holding secret correspondence with the En gliuh, had him and his whole family pat in Irons, and tal'en out to bo exeetited. Ile was, however, saved by some intercession, but be still remains in close confinement. It was also understood that Bundoola's brother had been beheaded, and also the Oovernor of Punkawli. NA-shoo-ace heard that the Burmese armies amounted to 11,1011 men. hoo,tnoh„ who was the Deputy Shahbunder before the con_ M nt Rangoon. states, that when the news first arrived that the Egglisla were about to make peace, every one rejoiced. Afterwards it eras rumoured that four entre oerupees were demanded, together with Rangoon and Chedubs. The king, it was said, was willing to the money, but positively refused giving up any territory. The beifigefent Queen and her brother . , however, declared it would inr better fo give the money to their own people, and fight it out. 'LIR King's son, a lad of 14. entreated his father to make peace on any terms, but the Queen's interest prevailed. In consequence coleys were immediately given to levy 30.000 men, and • proclaim. tics issued, declaring that every moldier should receive six tickets in gold. Slii.o.moh saw 3,000 of tins force at Meeactoy,and the remainder watt to follow. The positive commands of the King and Queen were. to snrround the English at Prome, and cut them oft'. The Xre..Weonghee win very reluctant in obeying this command, but, Aker consulting with the officers of the army, two of the chiefs volunteered to lead the att.tek—ris. Keoukamboo and 31outhamboo, who declared they did not fear the English ! report prevailed among the Burmese that the whole strength of she British army was 40.1100 men, and, it was said, that on the 4* of Novembq they inten6ed to retreat to Rangoon, in which are the Burmese were to remain quiet, but if not, the invaders Wert to be driven from Prome. Shoo.moh makes out, by a detail of the different corps, that the Burmese army consist, of about 114,000 -wen t but from the number of deaths and desertions; lie thsplut it may be estimated at 70,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry. Lenshego is said to have petitioned the King to be allowed to go with 3loon.shoozne and expel the EngliSh. The shrewd Queen, however, instantly suspected that Lenanego would side with the English, and he was consequently arrested and executed. Moon. ahssiar was put in irons, and all his property confiscated. The Burmese expect the English to march on t4entbegoun from Arracao. Shoo-moh being in the service of the Prince of Sans. 'Addy, he heard him say that when the English took Ave, he would join them ; but if the King conquered, he would aide with hint. 'The following information woe communicated early In noTem. bee. by a Buruit.c, named Ne.shoo•Vouk " When the English army came to Prome, I van away with all the people; a hen I arrived in Au, I heard the King lad ordered • levy of 30,000 men, each man'to receive lOU tickets. A new ; fie. nowt was eppointed to command, viz., the Mawonn of Punkawn, who was shortly atter put to death as a rebel. Bundoolah's bra titer was killed, too, for deserting his post at Donabew. The King then made Alemiaboo. his half brother, Commander-in-Chief, who is in Alaloon now with about 10,000 men. The Priem of Serra paddy is at Alemboo, with 3 or **followers, in boats, under his pertectioo. Whet% I was at Ave, all the imprisoned foreigners were taken from Ava and sent above Ummerapooralt to the' King's Ohmary,' named Lin-Bcin-leh, except one merchant, whose name knew not ; he remains at Aye, in irons. I left Ave about twenty-six days ago—near Ava I met the nwasengers with the petition about the news of the conference with -leafttlialt• ' , Prised M Ideearlay, where I remained seven days. The Kee-Worm/elms was there with 1,000 men. Its KuntelthrS there were 600 howemen : at Neounb urs i c k there was a porquet JO men. The commanders of the art lance armies are, Alone-bo• moo and Pinzala Woon, next Kim-Kam-how with 15,000 men I from Boolah and Patin to Neounbursick there are several brow. works and stockades; likewise at the west side of the river, with Sindawoon, there are about 2.000 men, sent cast of Prome to Aleontloun, Shoelay, ice. to plunder. Anti ,the Kee-Woonghee sent a confidential man of his, named noshes. with 70 men, to join this 2.000 men. I accompanied this party, and made my escape At t'hoclay to my family in Prome. " It *as said that the English were advancing from Arracan, and A uswoon 111ountsah ass sent by the twimbeghinin road to a plate called Silhe, to atop then, with 3,000 men, and 1 hear that Mesas goe was coming from Ave with upwards of 20,000 men. I heard that the CaresaT nation was rebelling againat the Burmese. and had advanced to Niukouauti.ntie to tight. The King had sent 10.1100 aeon against them. commai.ded by Nu-Alloo.woon. The Burmese gam will advance on Prnme, on account of the King's order'. I th ink they will be afraid to attack the English. The general wish sf the people is, that the English may advance, that they may have en otiportuni , y of running away to their homes. Numbers are now drsertutg. Rice is a rupee and a half a basket at Al testier." Amounts from Java were yesterday received to the 4th of December. They give the most melancholy details of the Situation of that rich hut unhappy settlement. The insurzents were in possession of the whole of the eastern side of the island, and had committed great excesses ; they lied destroyed the viilages of l'ackalanga and indermago , entirely, and incendiaries had been sent from the camp indSamarang, who had set fire to the town in several pieces. One rich China aserclotnt lost 40,000 pekula of coffee in one conflagration. The letters represent the Dutch troops u so weakened by continual services, that they now are entirely confined to strong and fortified pines; anti as the Go►ernment in Holland send only fire' ' or six, hundred men at a time, they are cut off by the natives, or reduced by the climate and fat; pie so much, that each of the reinforcements has to commence the war fats anew.

In addition to this inconveniency. a strong current of air is felt by those who are seated on the benches behind.

This was en action for work and labour done by the plaintiff. a surgeon, residing at Malden. in Essex, for the cure of a pauper; and the action was brought against the overseers of the parish of ;At. Mary. Malden. At the trial before Mr. Baron GRAHAM, at the last Chelmsford Assizes. it appeared that the pauper, - whose settlement was in it. Mary. Malden, was run over about eleven o'clock at night, in the adjoining parish of Heybridge. She lay in the roal fur some time calling for assistance, but in vain. At length a contoable of Malden came to her relief ; but at that late hour of the night, he did not know whither to take her. Ile ap plied to the parish surgeon of Heybridge, who declined interfering, as the Me did rot belong to his parish ; and finally, at the en. treaty of the unfortuete pauper, the constable took her to his own house, where she was attended by the plaintiff, at the solicitation of the constable, and ul'imatcly cured. It appeared, however, that the overseers never interfered after the plaintiff had been employed, nor did the constable of Alalden ever take any further noti:e of the case. Mr. Baron GRAHAM was of opinion that the case was more properly chargeable to the parish of Heybridge; and aunt elle that the circumstance of the plaintiff•ttending the pauper, without the privity or direction of the overseers of Malden, excused them from any liability. The Jury found for the defendants. .Mr. NOLAN now moved for a rule nisi, to have a new trial, on the ground of misdirection by the Learned Judge, and cited Lamb v. Dunce, 4th Mettle and Selwyn, 475, in support of his applies. Lion.—Rule granted. FOSTOCK T. BLAKLOCK. This was an action, brought by a Sheriff's Officer against the executor of an Attorney, to recover his fees. The defendant pleaded, first, the statute for limitations, secondly, he pleaded piens. udhlimistravit. At the trial before 111 r. Sergeant Cross, at the last Assizes at York, it appeared that the deceased Attorney was in the habit of employing several Sheriffs' Officers, and the plaintiff among the rest, with whom he had • running ac count, and he furnished the deceased Attorney with a statement of the amount of his bill shortly before his death, including tees for captions on nicsne process, poundage for captions in execution, ex penses for conveying prisoners to different parts, &c., in all amounting to 57/., to which account the deceased Attorney made no objection. It was objected that, upon the authority of Dew v. Parsons, 2.1 It., and A. Rep. Z 2, a Sheriff could not maintain his 'llion for his fees, and therefore the bailiff could not be in a better situation than the Sheriff. Mr. Sergeant Caoss, however, was of opinion, that this cue differed from the one cited, and the Jury found for the plaintiff, damages 57/. Mr. WS HITEMAN now moved for a rule to chew cause why there should not he a new trial, or a nonsuit entered. He cited the case of Dew v. Parsons, in which Lord Ellenborough had said that there were many duties incident to the office of Sheriff, for which the law had apportioned no reward, arrests among others; and, therefore the action in that case was decided not to be maintainable. The Learned Counsel contended upon principle, that if the Sheriff could not maintain his action fot fees, certainly the bailiff could not ; and he grounded this proposition upon the plain fart that there was no reciprocity of' responsibility. ft the huliff defalcated in his duty, the remedy was only against the Sh er i ff ; an d not against the o ffi cer. Ile further contended, that if any one was re sponsible, it was not the Attorney, but the party suing out a writ. The Coral' were unanimously of opihion that they ought not to grant the rule applied for. They perfectly agreed that a Sheriff could maintain no action for fees beyond those allowed by the statute, viz., 20d. for a caption, and perhaps not fur them-- neither could the bailiff recover from the party arrested more than four pence. That was the restricted fee specified by the statute to be taken from any defendant for his arrest; but if an officer were specially employed to arrest a party, he was entitled to a fair re munention for his trouble, and usage had fixed that remuneration at a guinea, which was always allowed on taxation of costs ulti. matelv, though a defendant arrested could not lie compelled to pay it to the officer in the first instance. A kind of implied contract existed, when a bailiff was employed, that he should be paid the fee established by custom ; and as he could nut know therein. denevs„ though he might know the names of the plaintiffs. the attorney employing him was the party responsible to him. If it were otherwise, all that .the Masters of the Court had dons hi then°, in allowing caption fees, on taxation of costs, would be il legal. With respect to fee+ for Sheriff's poundage. the plaintiff was also entitled to recover that ; for, as the Sheriffs always looked to their taws foe the payment of such dues, no doubt the plaintiff had accounted to the Sheriff for the amount specified u•ller that head in the account rendered, to which the decease(' Attorney had made no objection ; and that latter circumstance took the case out of the statute of limitations. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FRIDAY, APRIL IS. • . The C ain was occupied the whole of the morning Is hearing motions of no public interest.

This not having been done, a motion was this day made tor a monition against the Committee to enforce the payincnt ofthe same. Dr. Li•IHINGTOX opposed the motion, on the ground that an applilation was at that very lime before the Lord Chancellor, praying an order to the !IIIDO. effect. Sir C.

Pearrou about 71.1 years of age. who had lived with Mary Ann Clarke, of infnnious celebrity, was charged by his present master, Mr. Marsh. a wine-merchant, with stealing wine, linen, &r. The master said that he believed the old man was badly con nected, and that he had stolen from him above 101 1 bottles of wine. The linen, the prisoner said, he had received t'rom his former master; and as to the wine, he had certainly taken half a bottle cow and dun. with an old relative, of his (Mr. 31211101 . /4), whin that old gentleman had thought he had not had enough. Ile added that he had been in Mrs. Clarke'r service Inc 14 months. The LORD MAYOR—And what did you leave her service for ? —1 stroke rather favourably of his Royal II ighners in her presence, ' and I suddenly gm my dismissal, but why I was discharged I never learned afterwards. r. Marsh said, the prisoner had declared since he had been dis missed from his (Mr. Marsh's) service, that he had been Mrs. Clarke's factotum ; that but for him she never would have got over the business of the House of Commons, as he was obliged to ma nage it for her altogether. The Members of the House thought, he said, to have the ran off him for perjury, but they found not a match for him after RH. (A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—Pearson. I believe you are a very sad fel low.—My Lord, I atn as innocent all through as a bolo.. The Lotto Mavon—Do you say you did not coniwit the theft upon Mr. Marsh of which he has spoken ?—I do say that I did not steal any linen.

The Loan M A TOW—Well ; I'll discharge you, beicsuse nothing can be brought home to you, and I'll discharge you WO without giving you a word of advice, for I know it would be useless. The prisoner bowed very low and retired. GUILDHALL. - - . ........ Mr. Jackson, of the firm of Chaffers and Jackson, Manchester warehousemen, Row-lane, appeared to show cause why the refused to pay the sum of 24. 2d. for the carriage and porterage of a small parcel from Yarmouth. Mr. Jackson said that when the complainant. Garrett, who is the porter at the White Horse Inn, Fetter-lane, first brought the parcel he demanded 2s. 4(1., which he thought an extravagant charge, and at once refused to pay. The porter returned with a second ticket, In whi h Is. 841. instead of Is. Mi. was set down for the carriage and fid. for the porterage. They offered him 24. but he refused to receive it. 31r. J. further said, that parcels and passengers being booked to go by the coach in 9uestion. at the Cross Keys, in Wood. Street. the parcel should have been Witt that inn as the nearest to Bow-lane, instead of being carried on to Fetter-lane. by which the charge for porterage had been increased from 3d. to 6d. Garrett produced the way-bill to show that Is. Bd. was the actual charge made for carriage; and %lib regard to the porterage, said, the coach could not be unloaded until it arrived at the inn where it puts up in Fetter-lane. It merely stopped at the end of Wood. street to pick up a package or a passenger. Mr. Alderman ill austay would give no opinion about the 2d., but decided that the parcel should have been left in Wood -street, and he therefore reduced the charge for porterage from 6(1. to kl. This sum Garrett refused and threatened to seek redress elsewhere. BOW-STREET. _„_ ...... _ Laxly norrymore made her hundred and fifty-second appearance this seism) at the office this morning, on the old charge of being found tip,y, " her engiom always in the afternoon," in the streets on Thimaday. The Worthy Magistrates ascertaining that she was only liberated from the House of Correction on Thursday morning, would not deprive her of her newly•acquired freedom so anon, while any hope remained of her amelioration ; and as there was no particular charge of violence against her, dismissed tier with a re primand and caution. which " poor Mary Anne" promised to ob. serve rdigiously. The improved appearance of her ladyship'. wardrobe, the consequence, we understand, of her good behaviour in her late habitation, where, the seducing liquor being perforce kept from her, she is a model of propriety. and gets many presents. A brace of Israelites nest made their appearance before Mr. Halls, rejoicing in the etiphormus names of Zink and Rliar. Mr. Zink is a tiddler, who flourialses away in the new enu..ic of Carl Maria Von Weber at Covent-garden Theatre. Mr. Minx, who, on being questioned as to his calling, said, " he was nothing," ac cused Mr. Zink of striking him in the street; to which Mr. Zink rebutted, that Mr. Minx was in the habit of making faces at him while he was fiddling; and that the night before last his grimaces from an adjacent side-box were so intolerable, that human nature could not put up with them. A long argument took place, in which the respective addresses of Messrs. Zink and Minx were as difficult to unravel as those of their all-but namesake, the Sphinx, and they were ultimately referred to settle their dispute at the sassions. Mary Cousins, a young woman of rather superior address, was charged with ob'aining several small Rums of money from a Cor poral in the Blues named Leader, while in confinement in Cold klath.fields prison for refusing to maintain an illegitimate child, which had been sworn to him by a young woman named Margery Cole, of Alnwiek. Northumberland, by representing that the said Margery Cole was then in London in distressed circumstances, and had sent her to hint for assistance. She obtained a sovereign from him, and also front two other non-commissioned officer. in the same corps a sovereign each, by stating that she was Miss Cole, and was about to be married to their eon - trade Leader. _ _ The prisoner denied having obtained money from Leader for Margery Cole. and said she had asked him for assistance for her self. She also denied having represented herself as Miss Cole to the other non-commissioned officers. Another individual preferred;;harge against her of obtaining money from him by pretending to be intimate with his relations, who reside at Bath ; and she was fully committed for trial. HATTON-GA R DEN. `BASE INGSIATITUDE.—Yesterday Edward Robertson, Esq. a gentleman of considerable property, made the following rather no vel application, requtsting magisterial assistance. P.lr. Robertson stated, that he resides in Regent's Park, and some time ago formed an association, with live or six other gentle men, for the purpose of visiting the abodes of distressed Irish fa. milies, with a view of ameliorating their situation. They had taken several houses in Hampden-street, Somers-town, which they furnished with good flock beds, sheets. blankets, Ac., and had placed in them those families from St. Giles's who appeared to be the most deserving, upon an understanding that they should have the use of the furniture for nothing, but that they should pay the rent of the house, which did not amount to more than a third of the weekly rent formerly paid by them in St. Dikes. The gentle men appointed a receiver of the weekly rents, which for some time were regularly paid ; but latterly it would appear that tht Inmates of these houses had one and all come to a determination :5t to pay any more rent, and threatened to stab the agent if he intruded hint self in the premises. 31r. Robertson concluded his statement by requesting the Magistrate to assist him in ejecting these unruly people, if the law allowed him so to do. Mr. Latrit; deplored that so humane and charitable an object should be so shamefully abused, and that he could not afford any assistance; but said, if any of these ungrateful people had assaulted the agent, he would instantly grant a warrant fur their appre hension. Mr. Robertson said they had threatened to stab him, but beyond that he feared he was not prepared to prove any assault. Then, maid Mr. Lai wia, I ant afraid I cannot interfere. Mr. Robertson added, that he had reason to believe these people had also pledged the household property. The agent asked, it he should be justified in removing the win dow sashes, as in all probability that would be the means of eject ing them ? Mr. ?mist° said, he could not. as a Magistrate, give any advice in the business. Mr. Robertson had bow consult his legal ad viser. IF there hatl been anything like a case An him to act upon, he would most willinglr have rendered aaaistance. MARL 110 H 01:6 H —STREET. Yesterday Eliziteth Pearl and o:lln:trine Byrne, two good. looking young women, were charged with stealing a card of lace, value Sm., from the shop of Mr. IVilliam Taylor, hosier, of High Holborn. Mrs. Sophia Taylor deposed that the prisoners came to her shop on Thursday evening, about half-past seven o'clock, to make a purchase of edging ; after looking at several, and talking of the price and quality, she observed Karl slip the card in question under her cloak ; they were about teasing the shop without making a purchase, when she called her husband from the parlour, anti told him of the circumstance. Mr. Taylor said, when he seized the prisoners they had nothing of his property on them, but the card of lace before the Magistrate was lying at the feet ni the prisoner Pearl. Tnere were seven yards on the card. The prisoners, who wept and protested their innocence, were fully committed for John Career was lulls , committed for robbing the stables of Mr. Joseph Read, of No. 39, 31ornington.place, Hampstead-road. of two born-cloths, two bellysbands, three bridles, a saddle, and other property. The property was identified by Mr. Read. Ills stable was in a mews a dimatice from the dwelling.house. The prisoner had unbuckled the horse-cloths and left the animals naked. On his first examination die pnsoner salt] a man named Bird, 'Mtn he met near the Load of Bay, at Hampstead, had agreed to give him eighteen peace for carrying the saddle and sack to Bar bican . • and he had told the patrol who stopped him, that he was ,going for a sick horse. and did not know the contents of the sack. The stable being detached, Mr. Co WANT committed the pri soner for larceny. -. In the old Roman }calendar the lucky days were marked with Silver Letters: in 'fish's Kalender of Fortune they are marked with Capitals of Gold, and in the propitious month of April they hkve been marked with Showers of Gold ; for in April Bish sold all the Prizes of 310,000/. ! and having, in the post year, sold five Prizes of Thirty Thousand, and eleven Prizes of Twenty Thnusand Pounds, i t is n ot too muc h t o presume that Blatt will sell, in the present April, at least three or four out of the six Prises of Twenty Thousand Guineas, which must all be drawn on Wed. nesday, the 3d of lay. An evident proof of the change which has taken place in the building line is, that on Thursday, the 13:h inst., the sale of six millions or bricks of t he fine s t quality, at Grays, in Essex, was very heavy. The highest price bid for the best stocks way 31s. per thousand, at which price, however, only 20.000'were sold, whilst a year ago the same were selling freely at 3/. The Imperial Plate ()lase Company were the largest buyers, having purchased between 100,000 and 700,000, at so average price of about Cs- per thou sand. COAL MARKET, APRIL 14. Ships at Market.

Yesterday a a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the Merchant Seamens' Auxiliary Bible Society tonic place a! the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the eighth annual Report of the Committee. About 12 o'clock Admiral Viscount EXMOUTII. G.C.B. Pre. trident, was called to the Chair. His Lordship briefly opened the proceedings, by stating that he was happy to see so numerous and so respectable a meeting, and requested 3lr. Suter, one of the Se. cretariert, to read the Report. The Report, which was extremely voluminous, stated that within the last year 27/. Bs. 9d. had been received from the Ladies' Association. at Westminster ; and from the produce of sales at Gravesend and London. the sum of 208/. 2s. Id. The annual sub. acriptions amounted to 1851. 194. rd.. and the donations to 51/ 4s. 6d. But that after paying the British and Foreign Bible Society 1001. on account of books received, and al:.o the Society's Agents, and other incidental expenses, there remains a debt to the former of 144/. I Is. 2J. while the balance at the bankers amounts to no more than 1131. Os. sd. The Report further set forth, that within the last year there were 22 bibles and 315 to ships at Gravesend without payment; anti that there were sold at the same place, to seamen, at half cost, 817 bibles and 2211 testaments, and th seamen in the coasting trade at three fourths cost price 286 bibles and 318 tegta mem, making a total distribution since the commencement of the Society, of 10,430 bibles, and 11,380 testaments, of which 668 bibles, and 1871 testaments, were paid fur by the merchants in London. The Rev. A. BRANT/RAM. after stating that he had been lat terly much engaged in drawing up the Report of the parent So ciety, adverted to the benefits derivable from it ; and instanced the great moral improvement in the seamen of Bremen and !Ism burgh. The merchant service of England was, he said, the nursery of England's navy, and of course England's representative; and although the previous conduct of the seamen might have been such u to draw from other States on England the epithet of an unchristian country. let, from the Report just read. it would be seen that a highly desirable improvement had, since the formation of the So ciety, taken place. The Reverend Gentleman concluded by moving, that the Report now read should be received, and adopted by the Meeting. J. IBI;SPRATT, Esq., an East India Director, seconded the motion. The resolution wax carried unanimously; ar was a vote of thanks, moved by Mr. PARK!R and sceonded by Captain R.N.,GAM nir.R,to-the Ladies' Association, under the patronage of her Grace the uchess of Beaufort. The Rev. Mr. SHEDD, a professor, from New Orleans, In rising to propose a vote of thanks to the Committee, Treasurer, and Se. cretaries. said it should be recollected that the present was only the Eighth Annual Meeting, although it was the Christian era of 1826. He considered seamen a clan of men who had the strongest pos sible claims upon society, and were the most neglected. Who. he asked, had formed the connecting chain between civilised nations and barbarians ? Seamen. Who discovered the new world ? Sea men. When in Europe no alternative was left between despotic sla very and liberty, who preserved them in the struggle? Seamen. What would be one manufactories without seamen ? Were vat the writers of the Sacred Work themselves in their own way (fisher men) seamen ? _ . ! • - - Captain PARRY, R. N. then rose, amidst loud plaudits. He declared that he had had the honour of commanding British seamen, all of whom he would wish to see instructed in the Holy Scriptures. It had been asstrted by the enemies of morality and religion, that a sailor so educated would neglect his worldly duty. Thts he rose to emyhatically deny, for in the moment of danger or in the hour of difficulty he never saw more c o..l neas , nor mor e con. rage than that displayed by that part of his crew who were the most religious. He had had the misfortune to be locked up in tile! ice for one year, and during that period, not only were the Sacred Writings introduced, but ,chrmis were established, and he could with confidence appeal to his brother officrrs, in proof of the visible improvement in both morality and discipline which tollowerl. The gallant Captain concluded amidst great cheering, by becooding the resolution, which was carried unanimously. S. CLARKF., Esq. an East India Director, then moved the thanks of the meeting to his Lordship for his conduct in the chair. Thia being seconded by Captain BAZELOETTI, the question was put and carried with deafening applause. His Lordship briefly returned thanks, after which the meeting separated. A considerable collection was made at the doors ; and Zachary ill'Cauley, Esq. Capt. Tarbut, and Joseph Wilson, Esq. were added to the Committee fur the ensuing year. MARKETS. [From the Loudon New Pricy Current.) Fatimv, Airlift 14. The stagnation In the commercial affairs of the country Is without pre cedent. in addition to the distress from the already depressed and ruin ous prices, we have this week to state a further decline in all the leading articles of trade :—Cotton, Sugar, Coffee, Rum, Brandy, Indigo, Tea, and Indeed every other article of importation. are henry, and the prices again giving way. Brithh Staple Articles—Lead, Iron, Tin. Copper, are also dreadfully depressed ; yet provisions of every description continue at nearly a war price. COTTON.—The purchases of Cotton this week ate limited to 000 bags, chiefly Surat; at 411 d. a 50.; Pernuns are 1014. At the Castors-house sale some Pernams sold so low as 10d. Some good Demeraras offered at public sale were withdrawn at Rod. no offers above Old. The letters from Liverpool this morning state the Cotton market heavy, and the prices again giving way. SVGAR.—The Sugar market became heavy early in the week, and there has been since n complete cessation of business ; brown Sugars are at 50s. and are exceedingly difficult of sale ; the good and strong ;mantles are still scarce, and rate high in proportion. The Itetined market ha- given way in price, notwithstanding the reduced stock ; low brown Lumps are today 71s. and good brown may be purchased at 775.6 d. ; goods from 113 s. to it6s. are scarce; all others are plentiful and lower In price. Molasses 26.. 6d. The Mauritius Sugars by public sale went off Is. Cd. lower than last week . • the colonry and dry sold high fa proportion to the inferior. COFFEE.—The public sales lately have been few ; the demand being so limited, that thegreater proportion of the quantity brought forward has been withdrawn, without any bidding. St. Domingo Coffee sells at 50s. fair quality, which is a reduction of 3s. a 41. within two weeks. 'There were no public sales this forenoon, and no purchases by private contract were reported. TOBACCO—There continues to be some demand for Tobacco ; within the last few days nearly 900 hhds. are reported to be .old, chiefly ordinary Virginias, 3d. to s4d. per lb. I1l:31, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The low price of Rum attracted the attention of exporters this week, but the purchases are limited to small qoantitles, and generally they have been enabled to purchase at prices again lower ; proofs Ia lid. per old gallon • Jamaica qualities are very heavy. Brandies are again lower ; the be st marks 2.. lad. to 2.. I Id. per old gallon. Several sales of pale Geneva are reported at Is. 111 d. SlLK.—There are no alterations in the prices, but there are more in quiries, and a trilling business has already been reported. IN 11100.—The East India Company's quarterly sale of Indigo, which commenced on 11th Inst. terminated yederday. The quantity brought forward, vit. 4914 chests, consisting of 1132 Bengal, 547 Madras, and 3235 Onde, being those withdrawn from the January sale last, excepting 1443 chests arrived since that period. The qualities of the Bengal were mostly middilog and :ordinary, ger.erally mixed and of unclear texture, also a good dear broken ; the Madras tine, good, middling and ordinary, In abort equal proportions, and the Dude mostly ordinary and middling. From the general stagnation of commerce, the continued want of con& deuce, and the scarcity of money in the manufacturing district., added to the indifferent assortment of qualities, it could not be expected the sale would go off with much spirit, and a fall of 30 a 40 per cent. so compared wish the October sale of last year, has been submitted to for what has been actually sold, which is about 10 a 15 per cent. lower than the Jan nary sale last, the better qualities selling relatively the highest. The proprietors generally have been unwilling to submit to such heavy sacrifice , , and have bought In a large proportion, via. 2924 chest., which, with 1216 chests with drawn, being put up at prices at which no advance was offered, leaves the quantity actually sold er 4 chests ; however the sale prices have been bid for several of the bought in parcels, and refused, and upon the whole the market looks much better. SALTPETRE.—Notwithstanding the warlike news from India, there la no alteration In the prices or in the demand for Saltpetre; the quotation is 21s. 64. a 225. patTIT.--o n Wednesday an attempt was made to sell by public sale abont 10.380 packages Turkey Figs pulled and flat, fur which scarcely an infer was made ; the whole appeared to be bought in at very low prices : also 100 barrels Black and about 400 barrels Red Smyrna Raisins, which were also bought in : the Fruit market continues in a very languid state, ■nd the attempts mede to force it off by public auction, in its present state, is certain to throw a still greater damp on it, by exposing the large stock on hand and not selling. One or two small parcels of Currants have been sold this week privately. HOPS.—The quotations of Hops continue nominal ; the purchases re ported being too inconsiderable to constitute a market price. The ac counts of the new crop are rather unfavourable ; the fly has made its ap pearance. but the plant. are too backward for them to do injary. IRISH PROVIAIONS.—There la no alteration Is Provision* since MY report of last week. TALLOW and HEMP.—The price of Tallow by private contract is 31s. 611. a its. ; Hemp 411. a 42/. By public sale this forenoon-333 casks St. Petersburgh yellow candle Tallow (bankrupts' property) 284. lid. a 295. TEA.—The request for Tea has subsided, on account of the declaration of the quantity , for sale by the Company being more than generally anti cipated ; the market is to-day very dull. CORN-FICFIANGE, FRIDAY, APRIL 14. We hare had a very moderate arrival of Wheat and Flour this week ; the Mealier trade, nevertheless, 19 dull, though anything of fine quality folly supports Monday's prices. Barley, Beans, and Peas sell on much the same terms ; but we consider the Oat trade heavy, and rather lower than otherwise. In other articles we have no alteration to notice. SMITHFIELD, FRIDAY, Avail. 14. The supply of Beef this morning bring but a moderate one, the trade has rather improved : very prime small Beasts fetched 4s. Bd. per stone, and an early clearance Is expected. The number of :Sheep Is sufficient for the demand ; small prime Wolters are a shilling it-head dearer than on Monday : but Lamb Is a little on the decline, and 7s. per stone In the out side price.

A finer day's sport we have never seen than the one described in our account of yesterday ; it at least equalled Monday's. The company on the course was much more numerous than on either of the two preceding days, and lac:tided—Rut Royal Highness the Duke of York, who was mounted on his beautiful gray cub; the linkes of Port land, Grafton, and Richmond; blarquirses of Exeter, Graham, sad Rankly ; Earls of Sefton, Lowther, Jersey, and Orford; Lords Hendrick, Huntingfield, Clarendon, Fitsroy, &c., and nearly the whole of the fashion able, mhos. names have been mentioned in oar former reports. In the evening Mr. Douglas entertained Ina Royal Highness the Dike of York and a dulcet party at dinner. His Grace the Duke of Richmond, Lord Anson, and Lord Sefton, also had parties. At' the Rooms were—The Marquis Graham, Earl of Veru'am, Earraf Orford, Earl of Stradbrooke, Lord Dunwich, Lord Huntingtieid, Lord b. Dentine*, Colonel Russell ; Measrs. Rush, Aubrey, Mulony, Hunter, Agar, Campbell, Waddington, West, Newton, ac. BErrING. The alteration in the odds, inconsequence of this day's races, will not be such as at tint would probably be imagined. Waterman guts little by beating Norman, who, it will be recollected, was also beat easy by Ad vance. If he can run first a dead beat with Waterman, and then run him home by a head only, Waterman cannot be good for ranch; and in tbis we are borne out by the present betting, which if quoted at 40 to I spinet him, higher odds than were offered last week at TatterealPs. The race between Paraplule and Rachael In calculated rather to advance Problem than Paraplute, the former being by at least half a stone better than the latter ; and this opinion is corroborated by the state of the odds against Problem. Butterfly is of course got up, and there is little doubt but she will rise much higher. The betting this evening has been very strong on the Port Stakes, Derby, and Oaks.
