The Persians, whom we expected for the fair, arc already ar.
rived, with money and bills of exchange.
To the failures already mentioned we regret to add that of the
house of Richter, which has exited for 170 years. It is one
of the first in the lather trade, and the chief of it is very much
pitied.

EAST INDIES ---By the following letter from Colombo,
in Cqlon, it appears that the Burmese hare accepted the
terms offered by the British :
Extract of a letter dated Colombo (Island of Ceylon), Sown..
ber 18, 1825:—" The day before yesterday as official communica-
tion was said to hare been made to Government of the cessation of
hostilities with the Burmese. They have accepted of the terms ot-
feted by the Company, who are to receive two craves of rupee,
besides what have already been plundered from the several mosques,
&c.. and the English are to have possession of Rangoon, Pegu,
flit t than, Arracan, and of course the island of Cheduha : sore.
port says. The Government Gazette contains nothing more than
that peace is established in the Burman country."
The following is an extract from a letter in the Calcutta
ilti,i.ura of Nov. 3:—

" In advertance to the paragraph In your paper of to-day, In
which you notice the report of the conference between Sir A. tamp.
bell and the Burmese authorities, and which. you cnoclude by
saying that you admit the pleasing hope of a speedy termination of
the war, I have to acquaint you that I have read a private comma.
nicat,on, of credible authority, from Rangoon, in which it is stated
that the armistice had been already broken in Pegu, and that a
force was about to be despatched from Rangoon against it. The
date of the letter is early in October."
•`November 2, 1825."

SMELLS' AND JODN'S DEVONPORT BANE—The Com-
missioners under the bankruptcy of the above firm, have
been occupied for two days in the last week at the Royal
Hotel, Devonport, in hearing and determining proofs of
debt, when upwards of 9000/. were proved. The debts of
this estate are about 70,0001., 5,000/. of which are owing to
Sir John Perring and Co., fur which they hold ample
security. About the middle of next month the Commis-
sioners again meet, in order to hear and determine on the
claim of J. Carpenter, Esq., several years since a partner
in the bank, and on which day we understand a dividend
will be declared of Is, 6d. in the pound. We are informed
from pretty good authority that the estate will not pay full
3s. in the pouml.—Devou Paper.
MORE FLUCTUATION IN THE STOCKS.—The Stock
market having been for some time in an agitated state, our
Commissioners seem determined that the market stocks,
which ornament our Court-hall, shall not remain long
quiescent, as they hove this week experienced another rise
and as sudden a depression as was felt a few weeks since.
This sanctified resting-place of "naughty varlets," both
great and small, has again changed its position, and is in
future (till the next alteration is determined on). to face
the town pump, that the sins of the delinquent may be
washed away by the corporation fountain of Jordan !
Huntingdon Ga%ette.
On the evening of Wednesday last was observed from
this city, between the hours of eight and ten, a most grand
and unusual electrical phenomenon, consisting of a bread
zone of white light, almost entirely encircling the heavens.
To the west it passed between the two stars in Orion's
shoulder; after then sweeping through the zenith of this
place, it proceeded through the tail of Ursa Major, and a
little to the north of Corona Borealis; thus forming nearly
a great circle of the heavens, which, as far as the eye could
judge, was perpendicular to the magnetic meridian. It did
not appear, either to the east or west point, to reach quite
down to the horizon ; but, radiating from a point a few
degrees above it, gradually increased in breadth and de-
creased in brightness to the zenith. Its greatest breadth
appeared to be 4or 3 degrees. The likAtt was steady aud
regular, resembling the tail of a comet • but when seta
through a telescope was scarcely visible.---!DarLani Atka-
User.

IMPORTANT SAVING IN TOR Wonxixa of STE."
ENGIN Es.—There was, about three weeks since, an engine
made by Mr. George Vaughan of Sheffield, under his pa-
tent, put up in the manufactory of Messrs. Nell and Over-
ton, merchants at Louth, in Lincolnshire; called twelve
horse power, to work a one mill, which ground in to
hours 800 bushels of bones, with only nine hundred weight
of coals ; and it is said to be as handsome an engine as any
in the kingdom. By this engine Messrs. Nell and Overton
will now save between 3/. and 4/. per week, as the engine
they had before, which was made upon Bolton and Watt 6
principle, and used to work a bone mill, consumed twenty-
seven hundred weight of coals to grind not so much as eight
hundred bushels of bones, which was two days work for
the latter engine ; therefore the saving must be quite char,
since there is the same work done with nine hundred weight
of coals, as there used to be with twenty-seven hundred
weight. .

LANCASTER ASSIZES.—We understand that Martin,
Smith, and Simpson, who were left for execution, for ut-
tering forged notes, are minted to the 29th of May. The
respite a:rived on Sunday Wt.—None/testa Guardian.
