IVA n IN INDIA.-It is not considered by persons in this
country, competent to form a correct judgment upon the
subject, that the war in India, with the Burmese, will be
of long duration. The adequate protection of our frontier
in that quarter, and the Inaki.:g these restless people feel
what they hare never yet felt, our power, wit!, it is ex-
pected, bring them to prompt submission. The Burmese
displayed their hostile disposition during the administra-
tion of the Marquis of Hastings, at.l it was then thought
war must ensue. There it not the slightest apprehension
entertained of a rupture with any other of the Native
Powers.—Courier.

Anse NT'. EI S 11.—A Noble Lord who lately cat upon the
Committee of Inquiry into the propriety of continuing the
Insurrection Act in the disturbed counties of Ireland, was
given to understand that the principal cause of the die-
turbances alma ot•se.,frt ism. The winless further conveyed
an intimation that his Lcnbillip who was a member of the
Committee, was an ahscalec. " What!" retorted the Noble
Lord indignantly, " you mean t' insult me, Sir; I will
report you to the House of Lords." " All I know," said
the witness coolly, "is, that I hare been in the county in
• which you nozhe to iaaiiee, for the lint five yearn, and I
never saw your Lordship there, or heard of .our having
paid it a visit." Lord L.—" Why, Sir, I have a house
there." Witness—" I did not say your Lordships house
was as absentee." His Lordship did not reply, and tile
conversation here closed; but it is undc.rstooil that thi•
mode of plain speaking to a Peer of the realm will form a
subject of grave legislative conversation in the next Session
of l'arliament.
