On Thursday last the Fourteenth Annivergary of the Weymouth- Branch Bible Society was held at the -Assembly Room,- Royal Hotel ; The Chair was taken by ROBERT WILLIAMS, Esii. M.P. Vice-President. It appeared from the Report that 100 Bibles and 100 Testaments had been distributed among the poor sufferers from the late calamitous storm in the island of Port land ; these were a free grant from the Parent Institution. • Some• pleasing statements were given relative to the Ladies' Bible Association, which has been re-established during the last year. Sixteen Ladies have been actively engaged in supplying the want of Bibles among the poor in these towns, and the adjacent 'villages of Wyke, Chickerell, Rodipole, Preston, and Sutton. It appears that they have sold 135 -Bibles and 39 Testaments to the poor at reduced prices, col lecting their weekly pence, - and making up the deficiency by free contributions.. The num ber of copies of the Scriptures. distributed by this "Branch Society during the year was 487, nearly double the number dispos'ed of at any former period, and making a total" of 3,390 copies of the Scriptures since the' fthrnation of the Society ; 1301. was voted to tlieTtrunty Auxi liary .Society. The Rev. Jo p 0 AnottEs tended from the Parent Society., and addressed the Meeting at Considerable length, in which he combated with peculiar ability .the argUMents which had been brought forward against the. So ciety. He particularly.alluded .to the distin gukhed names whickwere enrolled, in it, and in mentioning those of the Archbishop of CA NTt it- BuRY, the. Earl of LivErrpoor.., and the Earl of . HArtßownt, the steady supporters of . the Insti tution, he thought that,a sufficient answer was given to all the clamor]?" which had been raised :rainst it by. the simple fact of these eminent per sons being members of it. On Saturday the corner stone of the Girls' National School ROOM, (bearing a suitable, in scription), was laid with appropriate ceremony. At eleven o'clock upwards of 600 boys and girls, accompanied by the Rev. Dr. _DUPRE, Rev. WILLOUGHBY BRASSEY, g s ev. Mr. HoPKINs, the Churchwardens, and the Gentlemen of the Coma rnittee, went in procession to Melcome Regis .Church, where an'excellent Sermon was preached by the Reverend W. BRASSEY, the officiating Minister. After Divine Service, the whole, pre ceded by the town band, repairing to the spot, where the ceremony of placing the stone was per formed in Masonic order by MASTERTON ORE, Esq. M.P. After which he addressed the nu merous Assemblage in nearly the following terms :-- 44 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—In laying the first stone of a School for the Education of Young Females, 1 cannot avoid expressing. my approbation of an Institution from which so much advantage is likely to arise. There can be no object more important in any country than the education of youth. Nothing tends more to the attainmentof civilization and refine. ;rent than inStructin ,, youthful minds, and training them in good principles. The progress winch has been made in Eng. , land by means of the yarious benevolent institutions in educat ing the children of the poor, and thereby rendering them useful members of the community, does honour to the country. We have already seen the beneficial results of a similar Institu tion for the education of boys in this place. The great number of those who have been instructed and brought to a state of mental improvement in so short a time, must be satisfactory to all who have had opportunities of observing it. Similar advantages may be anticipated from this 'branch of the Institution. It is a most important circumstance that it is founded on the principles of the Established Chur c h ; b e i ng so formed, it holds f or th th e c h ee ring prospect of the young being trained up in the pure principles of the national religion. The attention which I have no doubt will be given to their morals, as well as the instruction bestowed on their) in those branches of education which- come within the scope of this establish ment, will improve a rising generation, and.render them use ful and virtuous members of society. No Seminary can be so useful as that which combines ' o•ood education with religious in. struction. By Such mean s th e happiness of individuals as well as the welfare of the sta%: , are essentially promoted." A most curious natural production was dug. up last, week, in a field on the Andover-road, called Gallows-field (being the site of that instrument of death, before the invention of the present drop). It is a turnip, which, without the le as t modification after its discovery, presented the ex act form of a human and, with the four fingers, thumb, wrist, knuckles, p a l m , &c. completely shaped, except that the thumb (correctly tuated) is rather smaller in proportion . to the rest of its parts. It is now in the possession o f the man who found it, whose name is Gab', are: sident in Winchester, and well worthy of at tention. I N i) I A. ( From the Calc;,,tta John Bull of March 18.) From Rangoon further satisfactory intelligence has been received, and we have much satisfac tion in publishing the following account of the proceedings o f the water column of Sir Archibald Campbell's army, under the immediate command of Brigadier-General Cotton : _ - - _ • The troops of this column left Rangoon on the 16th of Fe.. bruary: •On the 17th they reached Teesit, where they found three new s:tockatles.unoccupied, anti destroyed them the same evening. The advance division, two miles above, were fired on from the bank, and lost two sailors killed, and ' one wounded. They burnt on the left bank a strong breastwork of timber , and a stockade; early on the morning of the 18th they de stroyed another stockade on the. right, nearly opposite. an the 19th the tide carfied _the ad , 7atice to the two outer stockades of Paulang (placed on opposite banks of the river), but too late fully to _reconnoitre them. The main body anchored about six miles below. The. reconnoissance was completed early on the 20th. Whilst the steam-boat and Satellite were coming up, a battery of three mortars and two six-pounders were erected on a point, separated from the left stockade by jungle and swamp, and which also commanded the right one. I t opened at less than 3.5 minutes, and immediately the shells *caused confusion, and made the Burmese lie in their holes. This time was alto' taken, while the tide was running out, 'to arrange the column of attack on each'side of the river, formed under ti< banks out of shot, and prepared to make 'the at tack on a given signal, when the steam-boat and Satellite had anchOied and produced the desired impression—the column on the right pulling oft' to carry the stockade on the right bank, and the left column to carry that on the left. The title turned at half-past three, but owing to the Satellite grounding, the steam-boat, in which Captains Alexander and Chadds were, did no: come up till five. The attack was instantly made, and both stockades were in our possession in five minutes, without any loss on our side. The practice of the mortar bat tery was excellent, and the rockets were of the most material use. The enemy ran instantly. The columns advanced im mediataly on each bank, and Brigadier-General Cotton, who had joined the steam-vessel in passing, and hoisted the signal on seeing the impression made, proceeded with the right co. • lumn, under Lieut.-Colonel O'Donoghue, in Captain Chadd's , gig ; a flanking party was then thrown out to protect our ad- Vance up the banks of the river, , and the troops instantly moved on, diScovering the. great stockade of Paulang di rectly in their front, situated on a point of land commanding the El Euchinnaer branch, and the other running into the Dallas creek. It looked very strong and extensive. The Tantabien branch was also between the two columns • but as ,some Burmese were seen fording it, our men were ordered to put their ammunition on their bayonets and do the same. It was not higher than the armpit, and the column got easily over. The steam-vessel was coming up at the same time, and the right column was immediately opposite the Paulang stockade , separate by the river. The enemy could not stand ; agcy after a very weak and con fused fire,..they instantly evacuated it at each angle. The boats having kept parallel with the troops, both columns were in stantly embarked and posted ,at it, and gained it without the loss of a man. The Burmese had 4,000 or 5,000 men in the three places. 1 Brigadier-General Cotton's force was to have moved next morning but the Satellite was still a-ground, and not likely to be got -.)fr. The people of the country (the Cariens) were flocking in ; and the most positive direction had been given to .prevent plunder. The large stockade of Pandang or Paulang is said to be re.' markably strong—built of new timber, and 16 feet high, with regular parapets 'and projecting angles. Immense quantities of gunpowder, broken jinjalls, and a few brass guns, were taken. All the men lost by the enemy were killed by the shells., and rockets, to which circumstance is to be attributed our tri vial loss. The use of these projectiles previously to running up the troops is of the first importance in saving the lives of our men. FEB. 23.—The following is the substance of intelligence ob. tained at Lyne, regarding the distribution of the enemy's forces, from two Burmese prisoners : Nameealay says he is an inhabitant of Puzindoon, from whence he fan on the English arriving at Rangoon ; that whilst staying at Bliolah, four days ago, 50 men arrived there on their way to join the Chekeya Nirhoon at Pegu, with orders from Bundoola to return with his force, and rejoin him at Denoobew. Heard that there are 600 men at Pegu with the Chekeya Whoon, and 2,000 or 3,000 with Bundoola, at Denoobew, fighting men; has not been there himself; but hears there are very few guns, and a large proportion of muskets ; heard of our advance when at Bholab, fbiir days ago, and that Maim Silwah had gone oft' to the eastward, but knows not to what place ; heard of Paillang being taken three days since, and with little resistance. The Kee Woongee had retreated to Naizlie, half way to Yangain chena. The garrison of Patelang fled in great disorder, leaving every thing behind them : knows not if there were any guns.— The prisoner intended to have gone to Pegu with 50 men, sent by Bundoola in search of his wile and family. Neeneeauhoo says lie was _proceeding (to find his wife and family) with a chief and 50 men sent by Bundoola to Pegu, Jim days ago, for the purpose of recalling the Chekeya Whoon, who proceeded thither two months ago with 600 or 700 men. Two days before he left Denoobew, 400 infantry and 100 horse men were dispatched by Bundeola to this place, and he under. stands they are now at a Carrian village, called Amawhe, 84 miles hence. Bundoola has upwards of 16,000 fighting men with him, and from 40 to 50 guns, 100 jinjals, and 10,000 mus kets. The defences at Denoobew consist of a timber stockade, composed of very large round timbers planted in a double row (one close behind the other), each three deep ; a dry ditch round the laud faces, about 72 feet broad,' and. from 10 to 12 deep • not quite finished. Had heard of the advance of the English towards Lyne, and in consequence the party before mentioned was dispatched here to occupy it—about 100 horse are at Denoobew r—heard a rumour, before leaving Denoobew,- of the English having taken Paulang ; but little intelligence is allowed to transpire at that place 4—heard on the road that the rumour in question is time, and that the Kee Wongee had fled with his force on the English ships arriving at Paulang ; heard nothing from Arracan of the English having advanced in that direction. A great many war-boats at Denoobew ; but their guns ure all inside of the stockade. No certain intelli gence where Noonshoe-za now is; Prince Surrawuddee is at Surrawuddee, with 500 men (soldiers.) The remainder of his men have been made over to Bandoola. No force at Prome whatever ; does opt know what number of men are at Bassein. We mentioned yesterday that we had letters from Cheduba to the 28th of February. Supplies do not seem to be very abundant. . No spirits, wine, nor beer to be had, and fowls are scarcely procurable at two fora rupee. Neither ducks nor sheep are to be procured. Captain Hardy, iq the Pldnet, ac companied by the Henry Meriton and two gun-boats, proceed ed, about the middle of January, up the Ramree river or har bour. They got up to the creek leading to Ramree, without the smallest appearance of danger, carrying water enough for a ship of the line. The entrance however to the river is rather narrow, owing to two ridges of rocks, which do not leave any very extended opening. There is plenty of water ; but from the narrowness of the entrance it cannot he passed without a leading wind, the tide and eddies setting very strong. It •was a few days after this that Captain Hardy tookthe Hastings, and all the gun-boats in, abreast of two villages, which it had been 'determined to destroy. The whole of the boats, manned and armed by the Ilastings, were dispatched, under the com mand of Lieut. Windham, first of that ship. The first village was found deserted and burnt. The second was about a quarter of a mile distant, the road to it being through a thick jungle between two hills; Our men were, however, suffered to pass without the smallest annoyance, until they .reached the village; when a fire from three jinjals and musketry was opened on them from all. quarters. The village was burnt—six of the enemy killed, and two prisoners taken ; one of them said to be a man of - some consequence, who had come from the Ramree the night before with 100 men with muskets, for the protection of that part of the island. The villages are situated about two miles and a half from its south end. On this occasion not a man was hurt on our side. The frigate and brigs kept up a fire on the second village while our men were passing through the jungle. This success, it would seem, induced the further attempt, which failed, owing to the incapacity or treachery of the guide, who is said to have been the Dohashee of Colonel Hampton. The troops destined for the attack were embarked on Ward the Francis Warden, and the gun boats. The Planet took the European attillesymen. The whole got to the creek, which is about 28 or 30 miles from the entrance of the river, or harbour, on the 2d of February ; when a reconnoisance took place in the PRICE - SEVENPENCR. boats of the frigate. About three miles up the creek it" was found to be staked across in two places—the first very 'slightly ; but the second in the strongest manner, and on these litter the briefs could not make the smallest impressian : heyrind - the stakes were a breast.werk. and stockades, with a fortified hill in the rear. On the 3d, at eaylight. the whole of the troops proce.?dr up tie 'creek the Matchless cutter—the Fletcher keteh—and ten gun-boats, together with theliotts belonging to the Hastings, Warden, Henry illeriton, alld Planet, the latter vessel bringing up the rear, as soon as there was water enough for her to cross the bar. The force consisted of about 500 sepoys, 45 artillery, and 50 of the crew of the . Hastings : they carried with them four pieces; two of Which, however, - o tly were landed, and two howitzers, which, owing - to the bad land ing;* could not be got on shore. The landing.was covered by the vessels and boats; and the troops pushed on through nullahr' and jungle, continually exposed to the sniping shot of the enemy; not one of whom could be discerned. One villa:v was destroyed; but it became apparent that the guide had missed them, and that instead of approaching the enemy they were increasing their distances It thence became necessary ti return, which was done in good order, until reaching the nul l:ills, When' considerable confusion Wok place. The reserve, however, at this place, consisting of about 100 men, and the ar tillery, covered the retreat effectually ; but the killed, consisting of four sepoys and one man of his "Majesty's 54th Regiment, with a Waterloo medal, could not be brought off. A seaman of the Hastings Was also killed. - (From the Calcutta John Bull, March 22.) A letter we have been favoured with, of which the following is an.extract, gives a forcible idea of the difficulties encountered by the Cachar force CACHAR, MACH 11. " The state of the road through the forest now beggars all attempt at description ; the rain which fell during February made it so soft, the cattle sunk and could not extricate them selves without assistance. Attempts were made to repair the road by putting grass and reeds over the worst places ; in the mean time, we have bad several successive days of heavy rain, which has made it infinitely worse. The necessity of supply ing the Local Battalion and pioneers with provisions became daily more urgent; and as many of the elephants were already done up, and about 300 Bunjarrah bullocks lost in the mud, is supply was sent forward by the Coolies,—a thousand arc said to have been sent, out of which only 250 reached their desti nation. It is most distressing to the poor Bunjurrahs—it must be seen to be adequately felt. Fancy the bullocks up to their backs in a quagmire ; some that succeeded in throwing their loads, struggled out of the mud, and only escaped a miry grave, to die on the road-side. Many elephants, piiblic as well as private, have been lost. No means that could be de vised, in such weather, would be any avail. Troops accom panied by artillery and dependent on cattle for the carriage of their supplies, cannot move Idler such a deluge of rain. A few days ago the weather cleared up, and held out the most flattering prospect of enabling us to cross the forest—when, suddenly the weather changed and rained incessantly. There is yet a month or six weeks before the regular rains set in, dur ing which it is barely possible to reach Illunnipor lightly equipped ;—the thing seems quite out of the question with a force ,on the present scale. The 16th Locals are 'near to a place called Noonshy, beyond the forest; the pioneers are re pairing the damage done by the heavy rain ; and the third brigade, Blair's Horse Artillery, and the Head Quarters, remain at Banskandy. The loss in elephants has been - very severe to individuals who have preceded the third bfgade. The weather to-day promises to clear up, but it will require a considerable time of dry weather to make the road passable." From some papers of Captain Cox, one of the officers Ale ,puted by Sir John Shore to the Court of Ara, in 1796 (we be lieve), a friend has kindly extracted for us the form of the Burmah oath of allegiance, which, at a period like the present, we doubt not will be interesting to our readers. Pulong was one of the three unfortunate men given up by our Government, in 1795, and for whose apprehension a Bur-- man force of 7,000 men crossed the Naaf and stockaded them- Selves at Rutna-pulong, near to Ramoo. General Erskine, with a regiment of Europeans, three battalions of Sepoys, and some artillery details, was detached to repel them, but matters were amicably adjusted by the surrender of les trois malheureuse Arracanese, or Mugs, who had sought refuge in the country of the Sahib Logue, from the vile tyranny and. cruelty of their Burman conquerors. Here follows the form of the oath of allegiance that was administered td Pulong, by a Priest of Ava, in presence of the Rajah of Ramree. A book of religious institutions, and an image, with a bowl of water, were place before hina ; when Pulong, kneeling, took the bowl in his hands and held it up before the, image, he repeated these words :-- " I, Pulong, in he presence of the Creator of five thousand worlds with all the Saints therein ; five large tiVers and 'five hundred small, the seas,_ and all therein ; call all the saints and angels, in Heaven and Earth, to bear me witness, that I wish to be a true and faithful subject to the King of Ava. May God grant that if I should desert his service, I may not pass in safe ty by water, but the fishes of the ocean may devour and tear me to pieces. May God grant that if I should desert his ser vice, I may not pass in safety by land, but be devoured by Wild beasts of the earth. May God grant that if I should not keep his oath, never to • rebel _against my King and country, the above may happen to me ; and that I may he afflicted with the scourges of the Almighty and die an ignominious death." • The oath having been taken, and thrice repeated, the paper on which it was inscribed was btirnt, and the ashes put into a bowl of water, when Pulong, laying down the book, was pre sented by the Priest with a bowl, in which the muzzle of a musket, and the points of a sabre and lance, being dipped, Pulong repeated as follows .—" May these weapons become the instruments of any destruction if ever I swerve from the oath I have just taken." After .which he drank the water. The time came, however, when the poor wretch swerved, not withstanding all this ; from his forced oath ; and with one other delinquent was consigned to a capital punishment of the most dreadful kind—impalement, we believe, or something equally horrid. (From the Calcutta John Bull, March 25.) The following letter, written by a young officer to his friend, contains some interesting details i "LAIN, FXB. 23. " On the 4th of this month, the Kernrnendine Native In. fantry marched out to Komarood, taking with them great part , of the public stores. On the 19th they moved on to the plain of Menge (distant about 21 miles from the Kernarood), and encamped. On the same day, the division under Major Sale embarked for Bassein. On the 11th, all the infantry moved out ; and on the 12th, the cavalry, horse artillery, and rocket troop. marched. On the 13th, Sir Archibald Campbell quitted the town under a salute. On the 14th, at 6 A. At., we moved off, ]eft in front, on a good road cut by the poineers, and en camped at 10 o'clock on an extensive plain, after a march 'of 4 ' miles. In this march we passed a large village and stockade, entirely deserted, but whiii.h would have proved a strong posi= Lion, as there is a deep nullah to cross in approaching: On the 15th, we moved at 5 A. at., and after a tedious march, oe. easiotied by the roughness of the road, (the distance being only five miles), encamped at 10 A. On a large plain, nearly one mile distant from any water. On the 16th, we moved on a shocking pathway, running parallel to the course of a serpen: tine river, and'encamped again at noon amidst grass seven feet • high, in the rear of a small Karrian village, whoSe inhabit. ants are the first natives we have seen since leaving Rangoon. The pioneers were employed during the evening in construct= ing scaling ladders, as we expected to attack an old PeOu for. tress, called Mohpi, about five miles in advanc. On the I7th, at 3 a. m. the advance guard and pioneers started in or. der to make a bridge across a nullah, which,• after rtihnine round 3lohpi, 'strikes off in a southerly direction. At 8 a, tn.' the troops moved, leaving the baggage behind ; and proceeded, on a miserable bullock track, as the General' deserted the main road in order to cross the said nullah, out of gunshot of the. place. At 7 a. m. we overtook' the advance, and crossing over the bridge, found ourselves on -an extensive plain, at the - ex.. - tremity of which, and girt by jungle, we distinguished the pagoda of Mohpi. G and 1 rode on to recrunoitre,' and dismounted at tbedistance of 600 yards to view it with the te. ' lescope.' Through this it bad the appearance a pucka fort, with ditch, &c. We plainly discovered a number of horsemen • Moving about; however, upon nearing the - place, we found it to be a deserted village, with the remains of an old Pegu fort, which, when we entered, a few muskets were discharged fron`i the houses without effect, and the &Rows' then Tan. The whole-' of this plain is indented to such a degree with the marks of elephants and buffaloes' feet, that the horses were nearly crippled in gallopping over it. My steed cast three shbes.— My best bullock departed this life on our last march. - The trunks, &c. were therefore brought upon a spare hackery, and arrived at 3 p. m. Then we rested until the 19th, and started at 6 a. m., and moved on a pretty good road through a jungle, and after a march of 6i miles, again encamped in part of a de. --.Li s or me said IY2 Speci a l B on d s, 1 9 4 4701 6493 9084 13 77 4719 6525 9086 9 72 5466 6,530 9134 23 54 6 719 75329135 25 37 6721 7534 9136 • 25 N 6722 _ 7535' 9138 3 760 5001 - 553 9 9139 3 761 5802 '4 7 54 8 9141 ' 1 :i.lr. . 5803 7 54 9 9142 39 7 3 6 5809 9 4 5810 7614 9143 7 7 05 9145 3!..)8 1 seol 7 7 10 9146 403 e. 5085 40 33 6240 7842 9147 40 31 62756273 7903 9143 4128 801 7 9149 43 3 i 627 820 5 9150 6 886 8 9182 433 2 6307 ' 836 9 9138 43 33 6320 9052 9457 L em 433 6448 9053 6484 9055 "Dll, Sept. 13 1025. 4 is • HULLETT, BROTHERS, and Co. ti, er.
