Watkins,' and re plete with misrepresentation, is now in course of distribution in Lon don. This handbill charges nineteen omissions and fourteen other errors—in all thirty-three actual mistakes in a work containing up wards of ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN THOUSAND distinct names or firms. In the handbill F. W. Watkins' charges the ' Post office London Directory for 1853,' with having improperly omitted, in Cannon-street. City, the names of various persons or firms, which, in truth (although inserted as at Cannon-street in Watkin's Directory for 1853), are not to be found in Cannon-street at all. And by the somewhat extraordinary process of multiplying the one thousand five hundred and eighty-four columns of print in the Post office Street Directory,' by these blenders in Watkins's Directory, Ise arrives at the conclusion, and actually represents that there are thirty thousand errors of omission' in the Post Office London Directory for 1853: The following are extracts from F. W. Watkins's band- JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary. ;11h1ITSTMAS PRESENTS AND NEW - YEAR'S GIFTS. I .Q4S SRS.

These offices remain, as stated in the • Post Office London Directory for 1553,' at 10e, King's Arms-yard, Moor gate- street.

Another firm, charged as ' omitted' in the ' Post Office Directory,' is thus stated in the handbill :- 64. Perkins and Sharpus, tin and japan manufacturers.' How F. W. Watkins could blunder as to the locality of this emi nent firm is not easy to conjecture. But the following Certificate will prove the accuracy of the Post Office Directory —" We have seen a handbill signed' F. W. Watkins,' in which an attack is made on the Post Office London Directory for 1853' for not having given the address of our firm at 64 Cannon-street, City. It is not true that our establishment is, or is intended to be, at 64 Cannon-street: it remains, as stated in the 'Post Office Directory for 1853,' at 6, ell court " The insertion of our firm in Watkins's Directory for 1853, at 64, Cannon-street is, therefore, a blunder. " (Signed) PERKINS & &WIPES. " 6, Bell court, 9th Dec. 1852. ' nother well-known firm, charged to be omitted in the Post Office Directory,' is thus stated in the handbill 23. Sterry, &terry & Co. wholesale oilmen and dry salters: Thus disposed ' of by the following Certificate :—" When the col lector for the Post Office Directory ' called here, we directed that we should be described for the year 1853 at this address, where we still carry OTI our business. STEM, STEM & CO. " 143, Boro' High-street, 18 Dec. 1852." Another name. charged by F. W. Watkins' as improperly omitted, at 64, Cannon-street, in the Post Office Directory for 1853,' is thus stated in his handbill : Shindler, Robert, solicitor.' This false charge is disposed of by the following Certificate : " There Is no person of the name of Robert Shindler in practice as a solicitor, or holding offices at all in this house. " 64, Cannon-street, City, 9 Dec., 1852. (Signed) B. PERKINS." In the belief that we have, for the present, sufficiently disposed of F. W. Watkins's' calculation as to the 30,000 omission, we pass to some others of his statements included in the THIRTY-THREE names. It is within the knowledge of every one possessing any experience in commercial affairs, that many firms or trades, after the decease of the original proprietors, continue to be carried on in the same names—as & C 0.," Child & Co.,' &c., &c., &c. " Aston I, box and ivory rule maker, 25, Old Compton Street, dead eight years; still this name appears in the Post Office London Directory for 1853: " Certificate thereupon :—" In a circular recently issued by F. W. Watkins,' it is stated that the name of I. Ashton, 25, Old Compton street,' is an error. I hereby state that it was inserted by my authority, the business being, like many others (such as Pickford & Co.), carried on in. the original name. " (Signed) "25, Old Compton-street, 6 December, 1852" GEORGE MAWDZE.

Conne is inserted in error in the Post Office London Directory,' I beg to state that it was inserted at my particu lar request, the business being still carried on under that name by myself and the executrix.

KELLY and CO. 19 and 20, Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar, 14th December, 1852. AN IS DIR E C E T I ° :RY E S W E e hav ir e for T ab i o ° nt a month lV past, rr observedl,3 ii in several newspapers, prefixed or affixed to our announcements of the " Post Office L randon Directory for 1863," an advertisement in which it is al eyed - that " ' Watkins's General London Directory and Court Guide for 1553' contains upwards of 127,000 names, being 27,000 more than yin be found in any other Directory of London ever published." It is not the fact that " Watkins's Directory for 1853" contains 27,.000 more names than the "Post Office London Directory for 185 3," or even so many names as that work. The arrangement, termed in the Post Office " STREET DIRECTORY." and In Watkins's " imam KEY." The " Street Directory" in the Post Office Direci.ory contains 114,048 names or firms, while Watkins's contains. but 113,410. In the other divisions of the work, containing names distinct from those in the Street Directory, or information of a • ttifferent character, the disproportion is more marked. In the na atnes of Government Officers, for instance, the Post Office has 7,000 r ames, while Watkins's has very much less than 3,000, and Watkh ts's contains no Alphabetcal List of, or Index to these names, so I hat one name cannot be found without wading through the entire . In the Postal division the disproportion is still greater, while in Watkins's Directory this division is devoid of any Index ; nor is the re any Index to the Street Key, or to the List of Trades, or to the Legal Directory. We should not have made this announcement but: for the misrepresentation that " Watkins's Direc tory for 1853" cont :tins 27,000 " more names than any other Direc tory of London ev ser published." ." Such a statement repeated so fre quently as it has b een in public alvertisements, might, if allowed to pass uncentradiete 0, obtain some amount of credence.

ON all hands arrangements are making to celebrate the anniversary of Christmas. To create novelty for a festivity so ancient requires some degree of ingenuity, and to Introduce fresh sources of comfort and enjoyment claims more than ordinary talent. For a great number of years novelties in Dress have been an important item in Christmas preparations. What, then, must be the amount of skill possessed by those artists whose introductions are new on each recurrence of this festivity? It is those only whose success has long been the admiration of all c'assesi. and whose seasonable productions have gained lasting celebrity, who can provide articles of ATTIRE worthy of universal patronage. The DRESS prepared for Christmas by E. MOSES and SON embraces variety, surpassing all attempts at imitation, and exhibits novelties w hich only the first Tailoring Establishments in the universe can device. To maintain this distinction, E. MOSES and SON'S Christ mas Preparations present ATTIRE for ADULTS and JUVENILES in the widest range of taste, the nucleus of their most celebrated steles, DRESS for Christmas parties, the most splendid materials and the neatest workmanship. OVERCOATS and WATERPROOF CLOTHINJ in the most gentlemanly and comfortable styles. HATS, CAPS, and HOSIERY, unequalled for qualily and beauty, and all Goods charged considerably lower prices than at any tither house. N.B.—Christmas eve being Friday, E. MOSES and SON'S Esta blishments will be closed at half-past tour o'clock. ON THE DEPOSIT SYSTEM.

See pagess and 7 in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. College: SECEETAUY.—George Jackson, Esq. OFFICES.-3, Copthall-buildings, Bank. This Company proposes to take possession (under a conveyance in fee) of ono thousand acres of land,upoa the freehold estate of Alfred Clapp, Esq., in the county of Mariposa, California, and to work, on the cost book system, the gild mines thereon. ;,ituAted in the rich est part of that famous region, the Burns' Creek range of gold depo sits stands unrivalled in the land of unlimited riches. Through the centre of this estate, consisting of upwards of 2,000 acres, from south east to north-west, a ridge of hills, the great basis of which is the gold-bearing quartz rock, discloses to the observer at intervals, veins of rich ore cropping out at the hill sides in manifest splendour. From the bed and banks of the clear stream called Burns' Creek, which (in summer unfailing and in winter unfrozen), flows through the estate at the base of these hills, it is known by miners of that locality that nearly a million and a half sterling of fine gold box been tas en in ' " thelast two years, and the placer gold cligginesof that stream are as certained to be but the washings of ages from the masses of gold-bear ing quartz above. To blast these rocks, to sink shafts, pursue the hori certained to be but the washings of ages from the masses of gold-bear zontal veins, crush the rich ore by powerful steam engines, and ex tract and remit the gold is the great object of this Company. For such purposes the most improved *machinery must be purchased, transmitted, and fixed; skilful miners, quarrymen, and engineers engaged; stores furnished for their sapport, and dwellings erected for their habitation. To command these things and success, large capi tal and skilful direction is required, and in theformation of this Com pany, those leading objects have will be attained. Situated in latitude north about 37y., with the climate of Italy, and with the woods and natural pastures abounding in cattle, deer, and other large game, S miles from the gold mines and quartz-crushing works of the Noveau Monde Company, and between the Mercede and Mariposa Rivers, steam-power has placed this splendid mining property within 6 weeks' journey of London, and (excepting only about 25 miles not yet railed, on the Isthmus of Panama), railways and first-class mall steamers convey the traveller and treasure with the safety, punctuality, and speed of the iron train, between London, San Francisco, and Stock ton, on the San Joaquin river, whence a good road runs through this estate, 70 miles from Stockton, to the county town of Mariposa, 20 miles distant. From the Burns' Creek, one piece of pure gold was taken, weighing 17 pounds, and was sold for 7501. This fact is voluted by an eminent geologist, D. Charles F. Spieker, of New York, who, in his report of a survey, made in 1850, on the spot, voites thus : " The most important feature In the geology of this district, how ever, which gives it such great value for milling purposes, is the ex istence here in the diorit formation of such an astonishing number of veins of quartz, tor nowhere in the auriferous districts of California have I seen such quantities of quartz veins accumulated within an area of such comparatively small extent. Nearly every one of the hills and ridges above described contains the outcropping of a quartz vein sometimes of very large dimensions." And again, `• On my examining them in reference to the proportion of gold they contained in comparison with other veins which I 'had seen in California, I found them to be of the best and richest kind witch hat come under my observation there. One of these veins was distinguished by great quantities of cellular quartz, which inclosed a very large amount of native gold in small particles, presenting altogether some of the most beautiful and richest specimens of that kind of auriferous quartz found in Californ a.." - (See Report.) Average specimens of the gold quartz brought by the proprietor from the veins ti ansferred to this Company, have been submitted to ameltirg arid assay at the Bank of England, and the great result is shown in the following TO EMIGRANTS.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA, with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treattent and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.

The author lashes with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying on the credulity of the public. The tribe of • Quiet Symathisers,' and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the bands of those who saffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money --This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Seermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis.

In most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. In the former of 10/. is. 6d., with 10 shillings Per cent. entrance fee, would be the rate to insure 500/. at 20 years of age. In the latter Si. 13s 4d., to insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of the DEPOSIT system. t Money laid out at compound interest DOUBLES ITSELF every four teen years. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., lat. For a leis sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2ndly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company , by tae above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, hi s Policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number o f y ears ; whereas on tile ordinary system, he gets nothing:. 4th iv. Should he require to i ncre ase or decrease the amount of his policy he can do so at pl ersure. H e can , a t any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11 up to the Payments and with interest. After he whole amount of his previous has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even irs former amount ; and by tills system he can at all times regulate his annual saving s by his annual exp en di ture, w ith ti le facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in cas e o f neces sity, the same as palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte in a bank, with this rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do DO such thing, but his policy at slice lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, an d, i ns te a d of having any fund to fly to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only System of assurance which can be universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater adventures than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few 'egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative , system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and Inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the, treatment of these cases.

"London, Sept. 13,1852." By these certificates it is seen that from 45 ounces of the quartz rock, when melted, crushed, and washed, one ounce and nine-penny weights of gold,value Si. Is. 3d. sterling, was obtained, and this under the immediate sanction of Mr. Hainan), and personal inspection of Mr. rixley and Mr. Wood, at the smelting works in Wood-street, employed by the Bank of England.. At this rate of yield, one ton of the quartz rock would produce gold value 3,4001. and upwards • but assuming that, instead of this malt (viz , 11. bs. Ved. per lb.) an average of only Is. per pound troy was produced, as thirty tons per day can be readily separated, crushed, and washed at these mines, and the yield of gold would be, at that rate, 1361. per ton, which, multiplied by thirty, gives 4,0801 as the result of each day's work ing, being 24,4801. per week of Six days, above 100,0001. per calendar month would be the gross produce. Estimating, therefore, the average yield of gold from these hills, rocks, and places as only 6d. to the p,,und weight of quartz, an in come of six hundred thousand pour ds per annum will be afforded — enough, alter allowing amply for all expenses, to repay the capital I five times in one year's actual wording. A late authentic paper (republished in the "Times" of Sept. 14) from Hussey and Co.'s Circular, of San Francisco, July 30, 1852, shows the gross produce of Californian gold, from the official reports, to be in the first six months, 1852, to this let July, 33,849,774 dollars, or about seven millions sterling," and this when the development of the rock gold is but commencing. It is not the desire of the Din•ctors upon such data to excite exalted hopes of delusive profits, but they feel the highest confidence that this undertaking, vigorously and honestly conducted, must quickly produce enormous returns to the shareholders in the Albion Gold Mines. The Directors have entered into a contract with the proprietors of the Burns' Rancho Estate, which entitles the Company to enter immediately upon posse ssion of one thousand acres, free of royalty or reservation, on which four opening have already been made in the gold-bearing veins, and splendid specimens extracted. The terms of this purchase are most liberal en the part of the pro prietor, who, excepting a very small proportion, takes tie whole consideration of a third interest (chiefly in shares), to be delivered at periods subsequent to possession and working by the Company. No director or ste,scriber to this Company will be liable beyond the amount of his shares subscribed for. The title to this property is tired isputed, and possession held conti nually by the resident agents of the p ro p rietor occupying the estate from February, 1851, to the present time. (ace Report.) Specimens of the quartz rock may be seen at the offices of the Com pany, as taken from the vein by the proprietor, which is in exhaustible; and it is a remarkable characteristic of the vast wealth of this estate, that the gold-heating veins, though but three feet wide near the surface, run through the 'whole property, and in depth are richer in descending and without any known termination.

BOMBAY, Nov. 17. The termination of the Burmese war still seems as far off as ever. "Since our last dispatch," says the Cal cutta Englishman, "we have no further acquisitions in Burmah to report, but our correspondence will show the state and expectation of the army there, and the general disappointment felt at the needless inactivity which has characterised the whole campaien." It has, however, now become evident that the Indian Government have no intention of terminating the campaign at Prome. 250 elephants have been dispatched from Calcutta over land to Prome through the Aeng pass under the charge of Captain Baugh. They have been furnished by the Calcutta Arsenal with cradles for carrying the guns and apparatus of the batteries over ground where it may be inconvenient to drag them. The Aeng pass is at pre sent held by a small Burmese force, but troops have been dispatched from Arracan to clear them away. The arrangements are certainly indicative of an advance if not to Ava, at least beyond where river navigation is available. The season during which the Irrawaddy is navigable by large steamers is now over. On the 10th of October the river at Prome began to fall so suddenly and to such an extent that it is currently reported that the larger steamers now there will be imprisoned for eight months, or until the next rainy season. We have, however, about five steamers in the Burmese water of less draught than the old Diana, and, consequently, able to navigate the Irrawaddy at all seasons of the year ; an equal number of the same description might possibly be obtained from the Ganges ; those at present available, with a few flats in tow, could take up a force that would possibly suffice for a dart at Ava ; but such an expedition would be diametrically opposed to the Fabian tactics of General Godwin. The elephants he is expecting from Calcutta can scarcely reach Prome for two months to come. General Godwin is again on his way up the river to Promo, with the second division of his force. Reinforcements for Burmah are being daily dispatched from Calcutta and Madras. A regiment of irregular cavalry was among the last departures from the former presidency. It was not at first intended to send any cavalry ; one of the newly raised Sikh irregu lar regiments that volunteered for Burmah now awaits embarcation. It is commanded by Major Armstrong, and has excited much interest and admiration at Cal cutta. The Englishman says, "We have seen the regiment both on and off parade, and a finer body of men can hardly be wished for . ; they are tall, strapping fellows, with the limbs of Europeans. The Governor - General. who evinces a warm interest in all that con cerns the army of Burmah, has visited the Sikhs in their quarters, and has gained their hearts by offering them his good wishes, and expressing his sense of their con duct and bearing . " They are as accustomed to the use of spirituous liquors as the Europeans themselves, and have accordingly preferred a request to Government to have grog served out to them while on foreign service, in proportions equal to those granted to Europeans, on the grounds that the sale of spirituous liquor being for bidden in camp, they will be no longer able to supply themselves in the Bazaar. Their request has been granted. They are said to be very well inclined to fra ternise with the European soldiery, but to look down on the Hindoo Sepoy as an altogether inferior animal. The detention of so many of our steamers in the Burmese waters occasions very great inconvenience to the Bom bay Government, and to the community generally, as regards the arrangements for the conveyance of the Overland Mails to Suez. Commodore Lambert say he cannot spare a single steamer, and, if this is really the case, some temporary arrangements must be made for the transmission of the Bombay mail by hired steamers. The Bombay steam flotilla is now principally used for the conveyance of troops and stores between Rangoon and Calcutta and Madras. General Godwin . s voluminous dispatches regarding the capture of Prome have met with well-deserved ridicule throughout India. The fighting appears to have been much exaggerated. An officer engaged at Prome writes to the Chronicle immediately after its capture as fol lows : " Here we are all safe at Prome, and, thank good ness, we have bad no more alarms lately at night, as we had for the first few nights after we took the place ; and a nice take it was. I wonder what kind of dispatch the General will make out of this affair, as, except the first day we came here, and were in the steamers, and just after the 80th landed, there was not a shot fired. We kept walking on—walking on the next morning, every now and then asking where are the Burmese, and ex pecting them to open fire on us every moment ; but no, we quietly walked up into their principal pagoda, and then the halt was sounded, as the General determined " In fact, the troops had nothing whatever to do ; attac of p" there was no enemy, an d no fighting, and General God win's dispat c h, w hi c h occup i es 1 5 paragra ph s , a pp ears , therefore, k if i l tw a a s gr e great t designeddea deal showo out of the no t fallacy of There that most venerable ax i om, aex ng° nihil fit,' for he has contrived o to fr a makenever was so begg ar ly an account of empty b oxes as th e capture small pagoda,:yetithas afnudrncisahpetduread it '—on olcas o i n onfor recording the brilliant servi ces of Captain Christie, of her Majesty's 80th R eg i ment, who led his company to the find ing it empty ; of Captain Welsh, who drove the enemy out of their position; of Major. Mayhew, Deputy-Adju tant-General ; Major Allan, Deputy-Quartermaster -Ge neral ; Captain Smith, interpreter to the force ; and Cap tain Burne, Military Secretary ; and Lieutenant Chads, Aide-de-Camp, who were active in rendering every as sistance !' No doubt all these officers would have be haved most gallantly if Promo had been as Sobraon or as Goozerat, but there was literally nothing to do, and we therefore make over the dispatch to our immortal contemporary, Punch.' It will be remembered that, on the capture of Prome, the Burmese General retired to a stockaded position, about seven miles distant, called Yea-they-Mow, and that General Godwin resolved not to follow him there until reinforced by the second division. The force at Yea-they-Mow was in all private accounts rated at from 4,000 to 6,000 ; in General Godwin's dispatches at 18,000, and subsequent information has proved the for mer estimate to be more correct. On intelligence of the capture of Promo reaching Ava, the King sent down orders to dress up G-eaeral Bundoola in old woman's clothes, and forward him to Ava for decapitation. Bun doola thereon escaped to our lines to save his head, accompanied only by a son of the unsuccessful ex-gover nor of Prome. He is now a prisoner on board the Se sostris, and has freely communicated all the intelligence in his power. He states that the force of Yea-they-Mow amounts only to from 5,000 to 6,000, and that even this sinsil_ force contains a laitge - number of villagers and tradesmen, whom nothing but the dread of immediate execution could retain for an hour within the retrench ments. Both parties, moreover, whether soldiers or rustics, aro said to be in the greatest state of trepidation. From the day on which the troops landed they have re mained in perpetual expectation of an attack, and are only waiting, with their ponies saddled, for the first shot to give them a decent excuse to fly. If they ran before an engagement of some kind, they would be accused of disaffection, and probably massacred to a man, for the insane despotism of Ava has reached a point at which wild acts of cruelty are believed to be indications of strength. " It appears, in short, then," says the Friend of India, "from every account which has reached us, that mat ters have gone much further than we expected, and that the giant Strength of Ava' is even more hollow than we had believed. From one end of the country to the other there is actually no strength to resist our progress. Army there is none—out of Ava, at least—and, of the bands of armed men who are so denominated in letters and dispatches, one-half are undisciplined, and the other half do not care which side is victorious, and think only of preserving their own lives from the vengeance of their own King. It was said of the French Convention that their generals conquered—they marched to battle with the guillotine behind them ; but the Burmese Generals, under precisely the same circumstances, find it more ex pedient to trust to the forbearance of a generous enemy. It will readily be understood that an army, in which half the soldiers are villagers taken from the plough, and the officers consider the enemy's camp a welcome refuge, cannot be formidable in the field. Our march to Ava will in all probability be almost unopposed, and we shall have only the natural difficulties of the country to con tend with lt has been, we believe, sug- gested that an attack upon Ava would result in the flight of the King, and that, as he cannot be hunted in the eastern jungles, the Government would have no respon sible authority left with whom to conclude a treaty, and would perhaps be compelled to annex territory to a greater extent than it is the present policy to contem plate. We do not consider such a contingency very formidable, but, as we are informed by those well ac quainted with the country, it can never arise. The King cannot leave Ava. It is the stronghold of the fac tion which supports him on the throne, and which even now can scarcely keep down its powerful oppments. The flight of the monarch from his capital would be fol lowed by his immediate destruction and the elevation of some scion of his family, on condition that he should make peace with the invaders on any terms." Extensive barracks are being built at Prome, and everything looks like permanent occupation ; b u t th e long expected proclamation for annexation has not yet appeared. "The only news from Rangoon," says the Friend of India, " refers to the constant dispatch of troops to Prome in the smaller steamers, and the exces sive anxiety for annexation. This feeling is not confined to the natives, with whom it is a question of life and death, but extends to the officers, and from brigadiers to ensigns, the first question asked on the arrival of a steamer is, 'ls the decree out r generally followed by some unpleasant wish about the home authorities, as the authors of the delay." What is to be chine with Burmah has now become a very serious question. The young King of Siam has dispatched a large army, drilled and organised by two experienced British officers (who being defaulters had deserted from the Bengal army), to watch the course of events on the frontier, and immediately north of this most powerful of the tributory Shan's States has assem bled a force said to amount to 50,000 men and 250 ele phants for the same purpose. It is reported that the Shan States have thrown off their allegiance to Ava, and assembled their force for the purpose of co-operating with the Siamese army, but the assemblage of the large bodies on the frontier occasions more anxiety. It is considered certain that the Shans and Siamese will at least take all we leave, and that it would be more conducive to the ultimate security of our frontier that they should take such territory as a gift from us than as a conquest of the wars from the Burmese. I again quote from the Fr i end of India -- "At any rate the Indian Government must accept one certain fact. As in every other instance, since we became a military power, so in the present, the second collision between us and the Oriental Monarchies shakes them to pieces. No orders from England, no caution, and no forbearance on our part can reconstruct the edi fice of the Burmese Monarchy. It is the nursery legend of Humpty-Dumpty turned into a political reality." The brigade are under orders for operation against some refractory tribe on the Peshawer borders. The state of anarchy and civil wars in the Nizam's dominions is even worse than usual.

ALLEGED GAROTTE ROBBERY AT ROTHERHAM.— ATTEM HOAX— On Sunday evening, a m an named • PTED Go of Brinsworth, gave informatio n t o t h e h rg Rot erhair e pOlice that he had been w a yl a id on the e Brinsworth-road, and robbed of his watch a n d two sove reigns, by means of the garotting system. H e gave a ce rtain description of the two men by w h om he said he George had been robbed. The police were on the track forth with, and after a long and unsuccessful search, Serjeant Handley was returning to Rotherham with Mowe, and having some suspicion, from his informant's demeanour, he politely requested Mowe to allow him (Handley) to search him, which he did, when he found the watch in its proper place, and the money in his pocket. Mowe was brought before the Earl of Effingham on Monday, when the circumstances of the case were laid before his lordship, who ordered Mowe to pay 135., being the expenses incurred i n searching after the visionary ro bb er —a decision which has given great satisfaction to the township, which would otherwise have had to pay the costs so incurred. MONUMENT IN GLASGOW TO SIR ROBERT PEEL.—On Wednesday afternoon a public meeting was held in the Trades'-hall, to take measures for erecting a statue in Glasgow to the late Sir R. Peel. The Lord Provost, who was called to the chair, briefly introduced the ob ject of the meeting, accounted for delays that had taken place, and intimated that already a sum of 2,0871. had been raised, of which 64/. had been subscribed by a limited section of the working classes. The Earl of Glasgow moved a resolution, to the effect that the emi nent public services of Sir R. Peel, new universally ac knowledged, ought to be recorded by a suitable memorial, to be erected in the city of Glasgow. The motion was seconded in an able speech by Mr. Hannan ' the Lord Dean of Guild, and u nanimou s l y agreed to. A commit tee was appointed to carry out the resolution. RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT WORTLEY, NEAR LEEDS.— A pointsman, named Edward Billington, in the service of the London and North-Western Railway Company, was so seriously injured on Monday last, at the Copley-hill station, that he died yesterday at the Leeds Infirmary. He was turning the points when some carriages lan off the line, and a piece of iron penetrated his thigh, which was broken. It is alleged the accident was attributable to the neglect of some of the servants of the company, 1 but the matter will, of course, be investigated. _ ~: :: g jCII grig'' v " - t i f, 3° or iod' he Of j'il 0 0 05 ; ras th W° °l' 1 9,6, ;0° 0 P °. 4 0 1; )seP c / 1 t & • - tilt , Vf
