71,can rendering them available for any service on which they teuld be usefully employed. Brigadier-General 'M`Bean gaveeme the benefit of his judg ment and experience, anti the effectual aid of his directing su perintendence ; to offer a further remark on the known zeal of one who has so firmly established his claim to honourable Wee, would, I fear, in me be but an assumption—to his Ex cellency the claims of Brigadier-General M`Bean Are fully Aenown. The assiduity of Brigadier Grant, C. 8., commanding the brigade,—of Brigadier Richards, commanding the Ist bri gade,—of Brigadier Fair, commanding the 7th brigade,—and of Lieut.-Col. Lindsay, commanding the Artillery Division, demand that I should state to his Excellency, that-their ex ample and their directions materially contributed to the success of our operations. . . Did the limits of a dispatch allow of my mentioning sepa lately the Officers who commanded corps, I should feel myself most particularly bound to name them; and proud should I be in being the instrument of more especially recording their deserts, than, while bearing testimony to the merits of all, in swing ihat every officer, noti-cannnissioned officer, and private, performed his duty, equally by gallantry in the field, and by - the willing endurance of privations, that the division might move forward. . . I may, hoirever, 1 hope, be pardoned in representing, that 'the Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General, Lieutenant Scott, rendered the the most effectual . assistance, that the Ist Deputy- Assistant Quartermaster-General, Captain 'Drummond, con ducted the business of his department with judgment, with -the greatest personal exertion, and with the most indefatigable perseverance. The 9d Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster -Ge neral, Lieut. Paton, has also established his claim to a particu lar notice. The Assistant-Commissary-General, Capt. Banner man, has had no common difficulties to encounter in effi.ctually arranging, for the continued supplies for the troops, the means of conveyance by land, at his command; never exceeded a week's supply. The Superintending-Surgeon, Dr. Grant, has on every occasion provided for the comfort and relief of the sick and wounded, and with other medical officers, was ever forward, while the troops were engaged, to render immediate assistance. To Lieut. Wroughton, of the Survey' Department, I am parti cularly indebted, not only for the reconnoissances he made when we neared the enemy, but especially for the discovering the pathsby which Brigadier Richards, with the column under hie command, gained the right of the enemy's position. Lieut. Thompson; the senior Engineer Officer, displayed zeal and prac tical proficiency in the performance of his duty ; to Capt. IVilkie more especially, and to the other officers of the Pioneers gene rally, the advance of the division may be mainly attributed ; road of nearly lee miles in length has, by the labour of the pioneees, -under their judicious directions, been completed ; many morasses rendered passable, and innumerable nullaha - bridged. I much fear that the continued exposure to the sun will for some time deprive the division of the benefit of Captain Wilkie's services, who persevered in doing his duty till suc cess crowned our efforts, though suffering from severe indis position. If ever instances of mental energy triumphing over bodily infirmity were exemplified, they have been displayed by • Colonel 0., of the 2d Local Horse, who on each occa sion, when there was a probability of the cavalry being en gaged, caused himself to be removed from his palanquin to be plated on his horse, though so weakened by long sick -mess to lie unable, for any length of time, to prolong the exertion.. This dispatch will be delivered by Liutenant Bellew, my Military Secretary; he has entitled himself to 'my confidence, and is enabled to afford his Excellency the best information on many points connected with the country. For my Aide-de-Camp, Lieut. Hawkins, I beg to solicit his Excellency's notice, and to strongly recommend him for any mark of approbation; and 1 can confidently asiert, that both from talent and education, he promises to prove a credit to the profession. Enclosed are returns of the casualties that have occurredsbar ing the several actions with the enemy since the division en tered Arracan, and also of the ordnance found in position on the east front of the heights covering the capital the quantity captured is so widely dispersed, that there has not y e t been time to allow its being ascertained. Several Sirdars have surrendered themselves, and prisoners are hourly being brought to the camp. Grounding my opinion un the general assertion of the captives, I may venture .to sug geet the probability that not 1,000 of the Burmese ' who were serving under Atown Munja, will reach Ave, but by the per rei:sion of the Governor-General —I have, &c. - • ' - (iiigned) T.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED MOHATEE, SEVEN' MILES SOITTII-WEST OF ARRACAN, APRIL 3, 1825. " Arracan is in our possession.. I have not - time to state par iculars, therefore to the public prints I refer you for accounts. Brigadier Richards was the man that May be said to have done the work. Brigadier-General 21' Bean, With his brigade, re ceived a repulse . about, the 29th. The heights and positions of Arracan are so impregnable that a very small force of regulars could defend the place against any army. We mounted the heights on the morning of, the Ist, when the enemy fled, and scarcely a man was hurt on our side. When we entered the city, not an inhabitant was to be seen, excepting six or eight women. There was not much plunder,' and the little there was very properly directed to he delivered upp as prize property. Two thousand men are off' for Ramree on the sth. What Ge neral Morrison's plan' may be, I cannot tell, but I should not be suprised if he went into cantonments." • (From the Scotsman in the East.) " RANGOON, MARCH 30.—We have had nothing new from the army since Colonel Cotton's partial defeat in Donabew. This place has been in a great bustle sefitlin r , ,, up a reinforce ment to invest the place, which I am told is the strongest hold in the Burman empire, and not known to be ,so before. It is ciecunivallated with three intrenched stockades, and in the ap proach to it there are two others ; the first was carried by Col. Cotton's brigade of 700 Europeans, by a coup de main, with little loss, a great many of the enemy being bayonetted. They attempted the second with 200 men, and were repulsed with the loss of 150 men and several officers ' after which the Brigadier retreated to an island and intrenched himself, where he has been attacked incessantly by sorties from Bundoola's force at Dona bew. By some mistake, the main army, under Sir Archibald, passed Donabew 40 or 50 miles, before they were aware of it, and the enemy between himself and the Brigadier ; but on his finding he did not join him, he has fallen ,back to his assistance, where,,report says, he has arrived, and we are now waiting the .result ; some say a grand attempt is meditated by bombarding "it with the whole of the heavy guns and. Mortars ; otherS , say that he will attempt it by sapping. The Nerhodda -and East Indian are expected to sail in .a day or two for Madras." (From the Calcutta John Bull.) "A nn ACAN, AP R IL 3.—Two brigades of guns, four Com panies of his Majesty's 44, and tour companies of his Majesty's 34th, and the sth, or Madras brigade, under Brigadier-General M'Bean, are proceeding to Itaniree. Another force is expected to be dispatched to Talack : head-quarters to remain here for some time. The baggage is still in the rear, and, as the country, all round offers many obstacles to moving, it is feared that the present campaign will see us no farther on the road to Untra poont. Now and then we shall, no doubt, digress, in order to chastise the enemy, should he appear to annoy us. The greatest praise is due to the Quarter -Master and Surrey Depart ment. They have had a toilsome time of it." • (From our Caehar Col respotident.) " CACHA lt, APRIL Q.—To those who have relations, friends, or even acquaintances on this frontier, it may be satisfactory to know where the several brigades and detachments of this force are to put up for theensuingrainy season. Thefollowing,therefore, may be relied on. The artillery,when lines are ready,to Sylhet. The detachment of pioneers likewise to Sylhet. The 3d, or Blair's Local Horse, eventually to Sylhet, tempararily to halt at Bud derpore, until stables are ready for the reception of their horses. The 3d, or Brigadier Wilson's Brigade, to occupy the posts at which the 4th Brigade are now stationed, which latter, when received, will proceed, one regiment to Banga, and the remain ing two to Sylhet, agreeably to the distribution made by the Brigadier. The IGth, or Sylhet Local Battalion, to remain in boats at Doodputlee. Such are the arrangements ; and I have, since writing the above, heard that, of the 4th brigade, the 14th and 39th regiments will go to Sylhet, and 52d to Banga. You will perceive from the above, that the whole of the infantry are to remain embarked during the remainder of the rainy season,— an arrangement adopted, I hear, in consequence of medical advice on that subject. I have no time to give you any further news: if the foregoing be worthy of notice, you will make any use of it you please." (From the Indian Gazette, April 16.) " They opened and made April fools of the enemy. They commenced their fire on. the, third hill, while the attention of most of them was directed to a battery erected during the night of nine guns, including mortars ' playing upon their principal works on the 10th and 11th hills all the night and next fore noon, and with the remainder of the force drawn tip and under arms since day-light, the whole exhibiting a formidable appear ance. When the guns on the second hill commenced tiring, and our troops, which were reinforced in the morning with one regiment of Bengal Native Infantry, who had concealed them. selves hitherto behind the works, advanced, the enemy were panic struck, and fled in every diiection. Our troops pro ceeded from hill to hill, to no less a number than nine that day, without the least opposition, and amidst the loud huazaa of the force drawn up in the plains below, every regiment, playing the " British Grenadiers" after the possession of each hill was attained. In twenty minutes from the advance from the second hill, the whole of Arracan was in our pos. session. The fellows, however, took good care to carry away almost all their valuables and families, so that we found the whole town completely deserted, save a few wounded Bur mese priests and a wounded woman, who could not escape. A few prisoners have been taken. The force that stormed the hills advanced into Arracan, and occupy it now, while we, who were drawn up in the plains, are encamped a mile and a quarter or more outside; so that I had no opportunity (since plundering is , not allowed) of even picking up a few idols or curiosities. No time for more. The 16th and 10th Madras Native Infantry, and his Majesty's 59th, are ordered to Ram . ree. We march the day after to-morrow ; men going in boats, officers in ships ; so they say, &c." (From the India Gazette, April 21.) ". EXTRACT FROM A LETTER RECEIVED THIS DAY FROM ARRACAN, DATED 3D INST., BY THE SHIP HIGHLAND " I. have only just time to say to you by this conveyance, that I am in perfect health, and escaped being shot. in the late attacks and captures of Arracan. It would be needless for me to give the details of the battles, as you will receive a true state ment in General Morrison's dispatches, WhiCh this vessel con veys under charge of Captain Bellew, the General's mili tary secretary. A fOrce moves on Wednesday of 2,00 0 men by boats (to capture Ramree), under the command of General M'Bean, which of course will not cost them fighting, after the signal defeat and slaughter of the Burmese here. The city of Arracan contained 90,000 inhabitants two days before the storm, when they all fled. About 15,000 have since come in, and it is expected all but the real Burmese will return when they seethe kind treatment they are likely. toeceive.— Never was there a. man better adapted to quiet a cliturbed country than Gen. Morrison. He had several narrow escapes from the fire of the enemy, as his person and staff were well known to the Burmese. On the 29th, a shot struck the scab bard of his sword and knocked him off his horse, without injuring him in any material way, although his horse was much hurt. He throughout has sat a brave example to his soldiers." (From Me Scotsman 0f22r1 " We have received a letter dated the 7th instant, from Arm. can, but since the date a our last commtin!cation from that quarter nothing of interest has occurred.

Their destination was talked Of as being at Ramree, hut nothing was positively known at the 'date of our correspondent's letter.'.' The following intelligence nOpears in the Bout.' bay papers, and relates to events more imme diately- passing in the neighbourhood of that Presidency:— " B0)1BAY, Arnie. Is.—The political evils, of a season of agricultural sterility are beginning to be felt in the provines subordinate to this Presidency. Risings have taken place in parts of the Deekart and in Cutch, to quell which we perceive that Government had considered it expedient to equip a force immediately, at least for the' latter place. - We' do not mean to say that'the subjects of the Government have- become refrac tory, simply because they suffer hunger and thirst from the prevailing scarcity of provisions : the prime causes of revolt are rather to be traced to the disaffected spirit of certain chief, • tains ;,-f ;' but it cannot be denied (indeed history supports the assertion) that drought and famine, by driving the poorer natives to despair, render them easy dupes to the machinations of their qualidam leaders, and excite them to measures front which, perhaps, in times of plenty, their loyalty and - good sense would recoil. it appears frOm the Courier of Saturday , last, that- the insurrection in the Deckan has been quelled, but that the insurgents in Cutch are in considerable force. To this latter province the Ifith Native, Infantry are about to proceed, transports having been duly provided." " MAY_ 3.—We have hitherto delayed saying any thing about the preser disturbances at Bhurtpore, in the hope of being able to offer oureaders some circunistancial news regarding the ope rations in that quarter, arising out of the attempt on the part of the uncle of the' youthful successor of Bulder Singh to invest himself with the sole management of the country during the little boy's minority: An injunction having, however, been laid on the editors of Calcutta papers by the SupreMe Govern ment not to publish any thing regarding Bhurtpore,' we are deprived of our principal sources of intelligence.. We can therefore only acquaint our readers, from . the slender materials in our possession, that it has been . fbund necessary to equip an immense force, with eighty pieces of artillery, to. proceed against the self.elected Regent, and that it is very probable, from the determined hostility of the Jauts, there will be a little hot work before the monsoon commences. We only hope that the issue may be more like the usual result of our Italian cam paigns than the former attacks on the fortress of Bhurtpore.--, Our present opponent is a near relative of the warlike chieftain Runjeet Singh." , .

Friday, MANSLAUGHTER.—At seven o'clock yesterday evening an Inquest was held at the Triumphant Chariot, Pem broke-mews, Grosvenor-place, before Mr. HIGGs, the Coroner; touching the death of a young lady at present unknown, who was unfortunately knocked clown and run over near Hyde-park on Sunday night last. Mr. William Simpson, of Spring-place, Kentish-town, de. posed that at a little after twelve o'clock on Sunday night last he was on his rerurn from Fulham, and as he approached the turnpike-gate at Hyde-park, within a few yards from St. George's Hospital, he noticed a light chaise-cart driving With rapid fury towards Chelsea, and at the same instant he saw the deceased female, under the horses heels, he called to the driver to stop, but he only quickend his pace, and soon got entirely out of sight. A gentleman, came up and with the assistance of a third person she was conveyed to the abOve Hospital. where she was instantly attended by a medical Gentleman. The deceased appeared to have received a most severe blow, as her bonnet was found a considerable distance from where she was run over, and her reticule in another di rection. Witne ss ' s a tt en tion being solely. to the decased, the driver of the cart effected his escape. He did not mention the circumstance to the turnpike man, he was so alarmed and confused. Mr. William Cowley, the house-surgeon at the Hospital, stated, that he attended the young lady ; when brought there she was insensible, and there was a lascerated wound over the left eye, as if cut with a stone, and other evident marks on her head, as if she had received some severe blows. As soon as . she rallied, and the pulse rose, there appeared manifest symptoms of a pressure on the brain. The most active exertions were used to recover her, but without the desired effect, and she died from those consequences. Witness has examined the body since death, and found the skull fractured, the brain considerably lacerated, and an effu sion of blood was on the brain. ' Daniel Bates, of Bath Cottage, Old Brompton, §tated, he was the toll- c ollector at Hyde-park gate, on the morning of the accident but did not hear of it till Monday, when he remarked to the person who told him what had happened, that he recol lected about 20 minutes. before ten o'clock, a cart came through the turnpike -g ate very fast indeed ; there was a do g harking before it; thinks two persons were in the cart; they were pro ceeding at the. rate of 11 or 12 miles an hour. He did . not know the d r iver of the cart or to whom it belonged , it was paint ed a dark colour. Witness to avoid the dog opened the gate, and the cart went through at full speed, or without paying the toll. There being no further evidence, the Jury deeply lamented the sad occurrence ; they considered that great .iegligetiee was attached to the driver in so furiously driving, the death of the poor creature; and they unanimously returnedson a verdict of "Manslaughter against some person or per. s unknown."

The weather bore a very changeable and unsettled appearance, and threatened to spoil the festivities of the day. As the morning advanced some temporary showers gave way to a gleam of sunshine, again followed by a gloom which prevailed when the grand proces sion commenced its march from the Town Hall to the Church, which took place about eleven o'clock ; 'fears were entertained that the impending showers would not hold off till they had . reached their destination ; these fears, hoviever; ultimately proved groundless. The distance from the Town Hall to the Church, which had for some time been lined by spectators, became one dense mass as the procession advanced, and every spot likely to afford a view of the-novel spectacle was eagerly seized upon by the multitude—lndeed so intense was the inte rest of the moment that it was with considerable difficulty the order of procession was preserved.—The peculiar and hand some decorations made use of on the occasion, together with the different banners displayed, were of the most splendid des cription, and commanded universal attention and admiration. The subjoined is the order`Of the procession : A Tyler. Band of Music, partly composed of Brethren. Union Flag. • Visiting Brethren, from Lodges out of the Country, two and two—the junior Lodge first. Doarc LODGE (GRANTHAM). Banner. Tyler. Brothers out of 6flice; two and two. • Secretary.

Grand Director of Ceremonies. Grand Secretary. Grand Treasurer. Grand Architect. • " 'Grand Chaplain. Junior Grand Warden (Brother Williamson). Senior Grand Warden (Brother Cropper). Grand Sword Bearer. The Grand Master (Brother M. Barnett) Having reached the western entrance of the Church, the gates of which were specially open for the occasion, as we believe they at other times always remain closed,' the Freemasons form , ed a double line, through which the Deputy Grand Provincial Master, followed by the different officers and members in their order of seniority passed. On entering the Church the pealing again struck up " Clorious Apollo," and the Masons in the same order of procession they had hitherto observed, accom , panied by their insignia, proceeded to the seat usually occupied by the Corporation of this borough. The wish to obtain seats was very great, but we rejoice to state that no accident occurred in consequence. A considerable period elapsed before silence could be in any degree restored, when the Rev. R. Duckle read the prayers appointed for the day. At the close of the Liturgy the following hymn was sung Almight Sire, y our heavenly King. Before thy sacred name we bend, " Accept the praises which we sing, • And to our humble prayer attend. On thy omnipotence we rest Secure of thy protection here, And hope hereafter to be blest, When we have left this world of care. Grant us, great God, thy powerful aid, To guide us thro this vale of tears, • For where thy goodness is display'd Peace soothes the mind and pleasure cheers. Inspire us with thy grace divine, Thy sacred law ourguide shall be, To every good our hearts incline„ From every evil keep us free. And previous to the sermon the sub j oined h y mn, th e mu si c of which was composed specially for the occasion by Mr. J. F. p ß la ed ce di : e, organist, of Boston, was sung by some vocalists of this RECITATIVE. Let there be light!' the Almighty Spoke, Refulgent streams from chaos broke, To illume the rising earth ! Well pleas'd the Great Jehovah stood— The Power Supreme pronounc'd it good, And gave the planets birth ! cnottus. In choral numbers Masons join, To bless and praise this light divine. Parent of light ! accept our praise!! Who shedd'st on ❑s—thy brightest rays, The light that fills the mind 7;y choice selected, Ict! we stand, By friendship join'tl; a social band ! That love—that aid mankind ! Chorus--In choral numbers, &C. SEMICHORUS. The widow's tear—the orphan's cry— All wants—our ready hands supply, As far as power is given ! The naked clothe—the pris'ner free— These are thy works, sweet charity ! Reveal'd to us from Heaven ! Chorus—ln choral numbers, &c. It had been announced that the Rev. G. Oliver would preach a sermon on the occasion, but owing to indisposition preventing that gentleman's attendance, the Rev. W. Smith, of Grimsby, officiated in his absence. The text was taken from the 11th verse of the Ist chapter of St. John's Gospel : 4 The light shined ' i n darkness, hut the darkness comprehendeth it not.'—As we understand the sermen is , likely to be published in another form, we must necessarily confine ourselves to a brief summary of it. The first part of the Rev. Gentleman's observations went to show that the light spoken of in his text which he declared to be the light of masonry—had continued in bne uninterrupted stream froM the time of the ancient patriarchs to the present period ; and having observed that it Was an es tablished axiom that the pure principles which rlio nnrY i d ncli , 0 1 ; cited n e c r o a i t i a l could a oneo of t be m e n p , r e l s , o e r a v ta e d t ap thaton idolatrous , a o t n r o l i y i s r , o c ri e o rr d u i P ti te s ch t i e e r it . op doubt of its actual undefiled transmission Prophetsai nad %va s t thato the interval birth o f Jr w o l i i i i n c ht the Baptist.a s l fwrohmllo_setehc:enuedlotelarthe of dra t e h c a: o t to chew nien thateia existing gn amongdurin t t h h e i this iar doubtful ao p iit e oa period there - unimpeachable, religiouse rico ciples were founded upon masonry, whose moral c ondil t, being the only tribe„amongst the Jews who escaped h h re rageS and who preserved turcorru ted by the depravity 0 1 t 7:„ co p . those pure principles of duct of Moses and David, and shone out most Corispiet t l tt . to to reign of Solomon. Being transmitted through tile ine's Got. the period when our Saviour dwelt upon earth, the ley 'd o ur in made some forcible observations upon the peculiar se P aid - ta which it then existed, and the deference at that period ,01 9 its votaries. Ile afterwards proceeded to show that the sY o n ti leir made use of in the ceremony of admitting candidates t ortent society were emblematical of the greatest and most nn? . . ;cte st truths, and were of such a nature as to inculcate the a'• eye feelings of morality; to point the mind to the all-searclunigitica of Providence, the practice of the cardinal virtues. the I do hands of fellowship; at the same time that it taught him once fleeting nature of time, and that it was the duty of eve,ry pron to: prepare for eternity. He avowed that masonry al Hers' duced the most beneficial effects on the minds of its prat'', t he He hesitated not to assert that it at once went to strike a . 00 , root of atheism and infidelity, and that masonry !a,: ba a worthy its profession and false in its foundation whicf„.4 riot this effect upon its votaries.

How much more ought a p are'! ahof' to be concerned for the eternal welfare of his c hild, an t he • strenuous ought to be his exertions to snatch his child froruv,„ miseries of never ending torment. He concluded by obser ',' e ra that since the last assembled many of their brethren, had pAP., e; from time to eternity, and before they again met many thenpt, sent would be called to their final account.
