BURNIAII.

News from Burmah comes down to the llth ult.
from Rangoon, and to the 14th from Prome. This, I
am sorry to say, is of a disheartening character,
tending to throw blame on our authorities for
remissness here and harshness there, and overweening
confidence everywhere. The chief, lleah Toon, had
again appeared on the stage with:4,ooo troops, and
two other chiefs,:with upward, of 6,000 followers,
were reported to be within four marches of Rangoon,
which they had said they intended attacking.
Brigadier Dickinson, with the left wing 10th N.I.
in,two steamers, had gone up the river to watch
the enemy, and if possible get at them; but what
400 men could be expected to accomplish against
4,000 does seem rather strange. The force in the
country seems inadequate to the duties required
of it, and should be reinforced before worse comes of
it. A portion of the Arracan Battalion had been sent
up the Ilenzadah, as this was the place on which the
Dacoits seemed to have placed their longing eye;
and, after destroying it, they are reported to in-
tend extending their depredations downwards as
far as Rangoon itself. The country about Prome has
been overrun with plunderers, and is in as unsettled
a state as it possibly can be. The war party at Ana
is reported to be again in the ascendant, and the
King himself is believed to be anything but averse
to a renewal of hostilities in an underhand way
through the Dacoits, who swarm and infest the
country. The brother of the Ring, the heir app.-
rent, is reported by the Friend of India to be enlist-
jug troops in Ava.

Lord Dalhousie will, it is now reported, proceed
directly to Rangoon personally to learn the real
facts of the case. The people around l'rome are
said to be dying of starvation, owing to their
crops and their homes having been destroyed by
the Deceits. The troops, both European and
native, arc heartily disgusted with the country.
'Mere are only 800 men at Rangoon, and the
guard had been withdrawn from Dallah ;—and it
was feared the paucity of troops would encourage the
marauders to make an attack on the stockade. The
district of Bassein was perfectly quiet and free from
Dacoits. Captain Brown, a merchant of Akyab, had
died at Penang. A Chamber of Commerce had been
organised at Rangoon, consisting of Messrs. Grant,
Hannay, Hay, Cross, Godfrey, Fowle, Johnstone,
Fowler, and C. M. Crisp. Some heavy ordnance had
been received at Moulmein, and been sent to diffe-
rent posts.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

REPORT ON THE

tiZPTEMBEIL 28 TO OCTOBER 13, 1853.

We have little change to report in the state of the Money
Market since our last. Money continues to be ()binned on
easy terms, though we think it is likely to b come more
valuable ore long. In Government Secu.ities the principal
transactions have been in 4 per cent. piper, which advanced
to 3 per cent. premium shortly after the appears nee of the No-
tific.atiuu closing the Loan 01 1842.43 for cosh subscriptions,
but this high rate has not hem maintained, and we now
quote it at 21. The prices of Joint Stock Bank Shares have
rather receded, and we now quote them—Sant of Bomhayr
41 per cent. prem. ; Oriental Bank Corporation, 86 ; Com-
mercial Bank, 32; Agra Bank, 42. I ei re has been very
little doing since the date of our last 1n ket report, and the
scarcity of rain in ?deriver and some of the adjacent pro-
vinces is considerably felt. The Gulf traders not yet
having arrived in any number, the Mohan= festival nose
