The intelligenco for the put ten days is unim-
portant. The Burmese embassy arrived at Rangoon
on the 28th December, and the miserable manner in
which they were received in their own country con-
trasted strikingly with the magnificence with which
they had been welcomed at Calcutta. In the account
prepared for the information of their sovereign, they
are said to have omitted the reply of the Governor-
General ; their excuse being that they dared not
communicate to the " golden foot" the peremptory
refusal of the cession of the conquered provinces,
which they were instructed to request. fhe 46th
Native Infantry reached Rangoon from Madras by
steamer on the Bth of January. One wing proceeds
to Prome, and thence to Poungday and Taphoon ;
the head-quarters to Henzadah. Tranquillity is con-
sidered so completely established in Burmah that
officers on the staff have been permitted to quit
their regiments and rejoiu their appointments.
We have been engaged on an expedition to put down
piracy in the Persian Gulf. The Chief of Amaieer
had since 1831 been constantly engaged in outrage—
two vessels had of late been captured and plun-
dered by him, a portion of the crews murdered,
the rest sold into slavery. In October last the
Hon. Company's sloop of war Falkland proceeded
to Bushire to join the Clive and Constance
under the command of Commodore Robinson. The
brig Tigris having been despatched to demand satis-
faction, was followed by the vessels just named. The
expedition was completely successful. An expedi-
tion is about to proceed next week from Peshawar
into the Meeranzaie Valley, a long, narrow, deep
defile parallel to the Kohat Valley, and through
which the principal trade to Cabul used to
be conducted. Nominally a portion of the
Punjaub, it became British territory in 1849,
but the inhabitants of it in reality never owned
a muter, and have lived the lives of free-robbers and
freebooters. Now that our hands are at leisure, it
has been resolved to bring them into subjection.
The tidings of the abolition of Haileybury have
occasioned universal gratification. The seminary
had not only outlived the exigencies which had called
it into existence, but its mechanism was unsuited to,
the age.
The concession of the railway guarantee by the
Court of Directors over 3,000,0001. of additional
capital, comprising that required for a railway in
&nide, will probably be the means of transferring
the balance of a quarter of a million sterling, which
the country has hitherto cost, from the debtor to the
creditor side of the account.
The last mail brought the tidings of the demise at
Cairo, on his way home, of Mr. Goldsmid, secretary to
the Bombay government in the revenue department.
His appointment will not be tilled up, but the de-
partment over which he presided will be entrusted to
a board or commission.
The tree producing gotta percha is said to have
been discovered in the Madras Presidency,and is sup-
posed to abound in many parts of India.
The 10th Hussars, with their horses, nearly 400
strong, have just quitted the Presidency for Saez,
and will probably be at the scene of action by April,
in about the same time as they would have reached
by the Cape, and at about one-fourth the charge.
Large detachments of infantry. and cavalry are under
orders to follow them, under circumstances still more
adverse to expedition and economy. There are at
present 27,000 Queen's troops in India, or 7,000
more than the act of parliament allows; with peace j
so universal as it is at present, and prospects of tran-
quillity
so favourable,lo,ooo or 12,000 might be spared
without iosonvenience.
The electric telegraph opens to-morrow for the
general us of the public, communication betwixt
Bombrsy, Lahore, Agra, Calcutta, and Madras being
now 'completed.
The Governor-General and the governors of Bom-
bay and Madras are at their respective presidencies.

anrrad throughout India ; the subscriptions at Bom-

THE WAR AND THE MINISTRY. . 1
Yesterday afternoon a general meeting, convened
the Liberal Registration Association, was held, at the I
orlon T , in reference to the approaching election for
City of London, which will take place to-morrow
turday).
dr. H. J. PRESCOTT was called to the chair, and was
ported by Mr. S. Oregson, M.P., Mr. T. Hankey, jou., il
P., Mr.T.A. Mitchell, M.P., Baron de Rothschild, M.P.,
W. A. Wilkinson, M.P., Mr. W. Williams, M.P., Mr. '
Prendergast, Q.C., Mr. R. W. Crawford, Mr. W. J. • ,
if, Mr. John Dillon, Mr. Thomas Christy, Mr. Acton S.
rton, Mr. George Walter, Mr. J. Montefiare, Mr. J. A.
nkey, Mr. W. Kirk, Mr. Francis Bewitch, Mr. M. Ba-
rd, Mr. Samuel Morley, Mr. Douala Nicoll, Mr A. J.
ylee, Mr. W. 11. Ashurat, and other gentlemen. •
the CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceeding', said that
present were acquainted with the circumstances
der which the meeting had been called. Lord John
mull, who had been for some little time out of
ice, had accepted an appointment in Lord Palmerston's
ministration, and was consequently under the necessity
appealing t his constituents for re-election. It was for
e electors to determine whether they would again give to
e noble lord their support. If he (the chairman) might
allowed tot :press an opinion, he would say that it was
vital importance to the interests of this great country, in
present critical position, that Lord John Ru-sell should
returned to parliament without opposition. (A voice,
No.") The noble lord held an appointment in Lord
berdeen's government, in virtue of which he assumed the
..
sponsible post of leader of the House of Commons, but
dog dissatisfied with the manner in which his colleagues ,I
ire conducting the war, he retired from the service ut the
own. Since that time the Aberdeen ministry had Wien
pieces, and the new premier had, as one of nis first acts,
trusted to Lord John Russell a mission of most serious 'i
Iportance—a mission involving the fate of the whole
raised world, the lives and happiness of millions. (Hear, '1 •
•
sr.) If tbu electors were on this occasion to reject Lord
.his Russell, it would be fetal to the negotiations mwhich
was engaged, while it would completely destroy the
lidence of Lord Palmerston's government in the House . ,
Commons.
Mr. It. W. CRAWFORD moved the following resolution: :
That it is the opinion of this meeting that Lord Palmer-
on, is undertaking the responsibility of forming an ail-
inistration and carrying on the government in the present
reumetances of the country, is entitled to the confidence of
e nation, and this meeting pledges itself to support the
turn of Lord John Russell, a member of his cabinet, as
presentative for the City of London, and to use its best
Lotions for that purpose." He apprehended that there
mild be very little difference amongst the liberal electors I I
' the City of Loudon on the point. contained in the reser-
Aion. Whatever he (Mr. Crawford) might think of the
ours° which Lord Joho Russell had on many recent
suions taken in parliament in reference to those cono
ercial interests with which the citizens of London were I I ,
. intimately bound up, the return of Lord John Russell for I
.
re City of London at the present juncture was • political ,1
ecessity. The liberal party were bound on this *cession .1
o sink all minor differences, to dismiss from their minds
insiderations to which, at another time, they might attach
reat importance, because if Lord John Russell lost his • .
.
sat the failure of Lord PAmerston's government would be .
meltable, and the Earl of Derby would, as • matter of .
.
oars, he lolled upon to administer the affairs of this . .
ountry. (Hear, hear.) It, on the contrary, Lord John il
1 i
Lumen were aiumphautly returned, it would clearly show
eat Lord Palmerson's government had the 00tifidenhe of
be meat enlightened, and the most influential, censutuency
. 1
a the British empire. (Cheers.)
Mr. W. PUROCOTT, in seconding the revolution, raid he
id not wish by tot course to express his full approval of
11 that Lord John Russell had done in conaezion with
,rd Aberdeen's administration ; but se the Goble lord had
een called upon to fill an important position in the present
/ I overnment, he thought the electors would net be doing
ight if they rejected him. . (Hear, hear).
1
C. BATMAN did not think it would DO prudent is Lila
resent state of the country to refuse to re-elect Lord John
(lessen ; bat be thought it would be a crying shame it that
muting, a portion of the great constituency, should be
'Willed to express an opinion that Lord John Rusted ought ,
obe re-slatted, and 'to say nothing about the disastrous
1
Car in which the country was engaged. (Low cheers.) He
oalieved that it was the imperative duty of the citizens of
London, to express, through Lord John Russell, if he should
main be their repeesentattee, their extreme discontent with
the moaner in which the war in the Crimea had hese
londected. That the citizens of London, and at such a
meeting, should utter Do word of warning or of sympathy
would indeed be strange. It would be a sad exhibition if
the citizens of a tree and mighty city—citizens so
poworal, so enlightened, so independent of extraneous i
influence, should pus such a resolution as had been sug-
gested, and in the midst of a disastrous and mismanaged
war have nothing to say upon the miseries which that mu-
management had caused. (Hear. hear.) Ile did not say
that under any circumstances he would oppose Lord John

of attempting to procure peace on the basic of the four
points—a basis which this meeting can only describe as
isjurioss to Tutkey, encouraging to Russia, and degrading
to Great Britain. That this meeting pledges itself to oppose
the return of Lord John Russell by every moans within its

POWer."
Mr. BAONDIES seconded the amendment.
Mr. BASOIL MORLEY said that,
he although he could sot
support the amendment jest read, could he
not allow t
original resolution to pees whitest protest, for he thought
that sothing could be smaller or misuser than the way in
which Lord J. Knoell netted out of the government. Mr.
Gladstone stated in the presence of Lord J. Russell, and the
statement had been contradicted, that his colleagues
had retained their offices on the smurance that the objections
he had entertained to the management of the war liad been
removed. He trusted that the meeting would emphatically
protest against the utter disqualification for Oahe of many
of themes who bed been appointed to high Cations. ap-
pointments which in the ease of the war 114 led to most
disastrAte results, and to such a lamentable loss of human
life. He was not sure that the return of Lord John
Russell to the government would be any guarantee that all
the evils which had been complained of would be re-
moved, for he remained in the late goomuneut
after all the mischief had been done, and was hhoeit a
party to it. lie thought the citizens of London would be
seriously reflected upon if at that meeting they sell

time to express an opinion that the new Prime
=ter should, through Lord Jobs Russell, be called
Wm to act upon principles by means of which they would
be able to seat their fourth member. (Cheers.)
Alderman SALOKONS approved of the original resolution,
as it pledged the meeting to bothiug more than the return
of Lord John Russell. It bound the meeting to no opinion.
If it did, he should object to the policy of the war. He did
not think they ought to expects any opinion upon the cos-
duct and character of the war, or upon the desirableness of
seating their fourth member, but he thought they ought to
do all they could to impart strength to her Majesty's/1w
'cerement In the present crisis, and to enable them sailente.
folly to e rry out that peace for which Lord John Rowell
bad proceeded to Vienna.
Mr. BENNOCH suggested that a common hall should be
held for the purpose of affording the citizens of London an
opportuoity of proclaiming their opinions on the manner in
which the government had conducted the war. It would
be the means of giving ezpreesion to the slumbering, or
rather halt atifiiii thoughts of the community. The City
of London, which had always taken the foremost rank in
questions involving the security of civil and religious
liberty, had in the present momentous crisis of our national
history made no sign, had uttered not a word. (Hear.)
While he disagreed with Lord John Russell on many points,
and condemned much of his conduct during the last two
months, he thought his return should not be encumbered
with any conditions, for that return would be • most em-
phatic protest against those who had recently, in a most
scandalous manner. Needed from the cabiset.
Mr. WEITZ.= gall it was somewhat remarkable that
while their reprowntasive had gone abroad to negotiate a
treaty of peace, not a single meeting had been held in the
City in reference to the question of what the terms of peace
should be. He did not believe that the ministry could stand
without the assistance of Lord John Russell. He was not
satisfied that peace should be made upon the basis of the
four points, for he thought that the Emperor of Russia
should be curbed in any attempts he might be disposed to
make hereafter upon the liberties of Europe.
Mr. WILLIAMS, M.P., said the meeting had been called
for the pupae of considering whether Lord John Russell
should be elected, and he thought it should be confined to
that. If the amendments which had bees proposed should
be carried, they would be of no avail, for Lord John Russell
would not be present at the election to sower them. It was
very important that • public meeting of the citizens should
be called, for the purpose of taking into consideration the
questions involved ; but they had nothing to do with the
meeting that day. The only question they had to censider
was, whether Lord John Russell was worthy of their confi-
dence. The noble lord was the only man is the cabinet
who, as far as the country was acquainted with the facts,
had expressed any dissatisfaction with the conduct of the
war. All found fault with him, that he did not resign his
seat in the late cabinet earlier, but it was better that he
should do it late than never.
Mr. Viii.xissow, M.P., thought it was highly desirable
that the country should speak out on the pretest condition
of affairs; but still he thought Lord John Russell was not
to blame for what had occurred. He (Mr. Wilkinson) was
anxious for peace; but be thought it would be a great
calamity if Eoglaod concluded a peace now, for she ought
to show that she had not fallen into that effeminate state
which had been represented, and that she was still able to
manage her own slain. (Hear, hear.)
Baron ROTHSCHILD, M.P., did not see why the meetlig_
should amine itself to the question of the election of Lewd
John Russell. He thought the citizens of London had a
perfect right to declare their opinions; and he believed,
moreover, that that opt.' sties of their views would be very
serviceable to the noble lord. He would be the last man to
wish to damage Lord Palmenton.s government or Lord
John Russell's mission. He thought they might
have every confidence in the noble lord that he
would conclude an honourable peace, or that he
would come back with such statements as would satisfy
even the peace party that it was neesseary Is carry on
the war with vigour. If, then, they passed the resolution
of confidence in Lord John Russell, it would be bard if the
citizens were not allowed to pass • resolution—not oedema-
log the war, bat expressing a hope that the wax, if necessary
at all, may be carried on in • manner worthy of this great
country, so that England might be placed in the position
which she ought to enjoy among the great powers of the
world. An expression of such an opinion would, he
thought, be agreeable to Lord John Russell : and if a reso-
lution tiling that view of the ease were proposed, he would
give it his support.
Alter some further discussion, Mr. Bateman's amend-
ment was put to the meeting and negatived ; Mr. Taylor's
shared the same fate.
Mr. 8. MOILLIIT said he bad no objection to the original
resolution, but he would propose as sn amendment that
some words should be added. It would then stand thus :
" That it is the opinion of this meeting that Lord Palmer-
ston, in undertaking the responsibility of forming an admi-
nistration and carrying on the government in the present
circumstances of the country, is entitled to the confident:sof
the nation ; and this meeting pledges itself to support the
return of Lord John Russell—a member of his cabinet—es
representative for the City of London, sad to use
its best emrtions for that purpose. In so doing it expresses
the hope that his lordship's return to altos may be regarded
as • guarantee that such arrangements will be made as will
effectually p a recurrence of the lamentable
disasters which have disgraced the late campaign ;
and, further, this meeting considers it to be its
duty not to allow the re-election of Lord John Russell
to pus without declaring its continued interest in that civil
