IV. have received Bombay Papers to the 13th
of Aut,7nst inclusive, Nyhich bring the Intelligence
of the death of Sir Divan OCIITERLONT. This
eyent occurred at Meerut on the 14th of July.
The Bombay Gazette, speaking of him, says-7-
" As a public 'character, we are not aware of
his parallel its the annals of British India. Dur-
ing a most active service of 47 years, its the
double capacity of statesman and soldier, his
unremitted exertions and unerring judgment con-
tributed largely to the stability of Government
and prosperity of the country."
The Supplement to the Calcutta Government
Gazette of July 10, contradicts the report of the
Siamese having joined the Burmese in the fol-
lowing terms :
" ARRACAW.—The erroneous pronunciation of a name by
a native new monger, who furnished the information for Arra-
can, noticed in our last, gave rise to a curious mistake. Shoum
and Siam indeed are not easily distinguished from each other
when uttered by a Mug, and this accounts for the private re-
port alluded to about the Siamese having joined the Burmese.
It is a fact, that a small body of the Shanmese, tributaries to
the King of A va, and inhabiting the northern provinces of the
Burman Empire, have been drawn to the southward. They
are, however, understood to be quite contemptible in a mili-
tary point of view. We received the communication at a
late hour, otherwise we might have pointed out at the time the
improbability of the Siamese having joined the Burmese, from
the fact of 400 bullocks being on their way from Siam to Arra-
can, a messenger having been previously sent to ascertain whe-
ther trade could still be carried on during the present occupation
of the province."

'FRE is boasted that the present
machinery at the Mint will throw off seven hun-
dred thousand sovereigns in a week. This is
esteemed as an immense exertion, yet, even at
this immense exertion, it would occupy 22 years,
or nearly so, to coin sufficient to pay off the na-
tional debt. As gold is in such demand, and time
for coining wanted, we would recommend the
coinage of '2l. 31. and 51. pieces, a plan by winch
a great deal of time might be saved.
GOLDEN LANE BREWEIVT•—The anxiety mani-
fested by the proprietors of the Nations Joint
Stock Companies to inspect the real slate of their
affairs, has not been without its beneficial influ-
ence on the shareholders of the above old esta-
blished concern. It is reported, that already
several plans have been suggested, and offers
made by persons of influence and fortune, to
undertake the Rianagement on a more popular
system, and as the premises are freehold, and the
capital all paid up, the profits of the business will
not be diminished, by the payment of rent or in-
terest, lint divided in proper proportions, amongst
the shareholders, which will have the effect of
speedily placing their value in their former ele-
vated rank in the Price Current List.
