THE BURMESE.
( From the Bengal Hurharu.)
We continue our selections to-day from the
sources before mentioned, and as we propose
giving our Pitalmis some twenty-four hours re.
spite, we shall avail ourselves of a few historical
notices respecting the Burmese, with which a
friend has favoured us, and which may be newer
to our Mofussil readers than those may imagine
whose opportunities of obtaining such informa-
tion are much better. As fur as the remarks
extend, we believe their accuracy ma,y be relied
on. The Burmahs are in general men of low
stature, but stout, muscular, and capable of en.
during great privation. They all wear long
hair, which they tie in a knot on the forehead,
and are generally clad in a silk, resembling plaid,
which they fasten round their middle, so as to
make a large lump in front of them. They are
almost all snore or less tatooed ; some from the
navel down to about a span below the knee, and
others on one leg only. They are possessed of
amazing activity and strength, and the postures
in which a Burmah throws himself, while en-
gaged in pugilistic and other athletic games, are
scarcely to be credited. In what we call bottom
they are not inferior to Englishmen, and they
resemble us likewise in their love of boxing, and
similar amusements. In true brave", they
take the lead of all other Asiatics, as no one who
has ever had an opportunity of seeing them at
Rangoon, will be disposed to deny---notwith-
standing the story of Mr. Royce regarding the
successful manner in which he exercised his
prowess, for the convenience of his less magna.
nimous fellow prisoner. It may be proper, how-
ever, to mention that the real Bunnah has a very
contemptuous opinion of the people of Arracan,
whom he considers much in the same light as that
in which an up country man does a Bengalleer—
Indeed the dialects are altogether different—
that of Arracan bearing a nearer resemblance
to the language of the Mugs than to Bur-
mese. e believe that by any one who had
a personal knowledge of the Burmah character,
no one has ever heard them accused of cowardice,
until Mr. Royce's statement, or the statement
concerning Mr. Royce (if it be not his own),
that appeared in the John Bull, and at all events,
we are well informed, that had his courage car-
ried him half the lengths at Itagoon which It
is said to have done at Anms, he would have
been allowed but little opportunity to have told
the tale of his daring. Touching their peculiar
mode of warfare, we have us yet been able
to learn hut little, though we are in hopes
of acquiring snore interesting and useful know.
ledge on that point ere very long ; but we
know that every man capable of bearing
arms is compelled to do so when the exigen-
cies of the state require his assistance. This,
however, is a regulation %bidets, with certain
modifications, has been common to almost every
nation where the art of war is yet in its in.
fancy, and regular armies unknown ; so that it
cannot be mentioned as characteristic of the
Burmese. Every European who may be married
to a native Christian is compelled to serve in
person, on like occasions, or to provide a substi.
tute ; and in prosecuting the present war; these
rules will doubtless be rigidly enforced. We
are informed, and we believe truly, that the
Burmahs are famous for stratagems, and that in
the execution of them they display a uouder-
ful degree of patience, coolness, and intre-
pidity. hence an ambushed Burma,* will not
move though the enemy's foot should be within
an inch of his person ; and it must be al-
lowed that there aro few who, at such a mo-
ment, would be equally still and collected.—
We think this a species of information by which
our troops may eventually benefit, us by small
detachments, in particular, too much caution
cannot be used, however quiet and appa-
rently free from enemies the part in which
they operate may be. One ruse was practised
with success at Doodpatlie, as appears by the
detail which a correspondent enabled us lately
to give of that affair ; and where a ear is likely
to be protracted, and similar stratagems em-
ployed in the course of it, we are not sure that
a slight check of the nature alluded to, at the
commencement may not prove in the end more
advantageous than otherwise by the necessity
which it inculcates of mingling discretion in a
due proportion with chivalrous intrepidity,—
The Bow and Arrow, and a short sword called
a dah, having a blade of about a foot and a half
in length, are weapons with the use of which
the Burmese are said to be very perfectly ac-
quainted, and they possess abundant courage to
Use them either in close or distant combat.
Their war boats are generally from sixty to one
hundred and twenty feet in length, but very
narrow, and rowed, or rather paddled, by men
who sit two a-breast the whole length.. They
are quick and dexterous in the management of
them, and to any other than British enemies
must be exceedingly formidable either on land
or water. Indeed we believe it is owing to their
former success in war, that they at present have
so high, and in our eyes, so ridiculous, a notion
of their own bellipotence, as was evinced by
their reply to our lute proclamation ; but we con-
jecture that their ideas on that subject will he
exceedingly qualified before the approaching
campaign shall be brought to a conclusion."

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY

Extracts from the Morning Papers, Dee. 24.

[NEW TIMES.I

We have elsewhere inserted- some letters (sce
Tut SUN of yesterday), extracted from a Cotem-
porary Journal, which go to elucidate some par-
ticulars in the late trial of " Foote against
Rayne." It is, perhaps, not very desirable that
the public attention should be at all occupied by
transactions of this kind ; but if it be so occu-

Pied, undoubtedly false impressions in matter of
fact should not he suffered to prevail. We feel
too that there is a difficulty in correcting errors
I-aim:treble to one party, without appearing to
'Wish to exonerate another party. It is necessary,
AherefOre, to observe, that in the following re-
marks our object is not to exculpate Colonel
'Berkeley, whose connection with Miss Foote is
'not to be justified, but we merely desire to clear
up a mystery which hung over the occurrences of
n certain period. Mr. Foote was for many years
the Manager of a Country Theatre, then he be-.
came a Iletel.keeper, and then a Bankrupt. In
1814 10 daughter, Miss Foote, being then only
six teen, came out on the London Stage. livApril,
1821, site" had an illegitimate daughter by Col.
—Berkeley. In June, 1823, she first saw Mr.
Payne, but nothing particular was observed in
his conduct till January, 18'24, when Mr. Hayne
• applied to Mrs. Foote (as the latter says) for
leave to pay his addresses to her (laughter ; to
Which she replied that Miss Foote was engaged
to Col. Berkeley, that her engagement was of
very solemn nature, hut if she did not marry the
Colonel before the end of June she would con-
' sider that engagement at an end. It is to be ob-
served, that at this very time Miss Foote was in
the fifth month of her second pregnancy to Col.
Berkeley, and that'she was delivered of another
daughter on the 2d of May, 1824. What ground
Mrs. Foote bad for believing that Colonel 13.
would marry her daughter under such circum-
stances is not very clear ; but the Colonel, in his
letter to Miss Foote, of June 16th, 1824, says,
4' they (Mr. and Alts. F.) presumed to ask me to
make you my wife—at the same time that they
gave positive encouragement to two other men ;
and you yourself told we that even to, become
my wife you would not give Up their society." 7---
And again : Now mark during the very pe-
riod that your family were making this modest
request that you should becotne my.wife (the de.
wand at least should have been sustained by per.
fect correctness of conduct on their part), your
father went to this other lover, Mr. Bayne, and
borrowed a sum of money of him." Certainly
neither this letter nor the former one of May
31st, 1824, implies the least intention of marriage
on the part of Colonel' Berkeley ; but if Mr.
Foote supposed he had such an intention, then
what was his conduct in borrowing 1,1501. of an.
ether man, who had already declared a passion
for Ma Foote, but who remained, at that time,
in total ignorance of the real nature of her con-
nection with the Colonel !—lt is clear that Col.
, Berkeley was offended at the very idett of being
asked to marry her hiMself. Ile demande(l to
kpow the truth as to Mr. Haynes ; but he said,
"-Deal With me honestly. If it is so, and you
think your happiness would ,be consulted by ac.',
cepting such proposals, I pledge my word that I
will throw no obstacle in the way." It seems he
was not dealt with honestly. Singularly. enough
he seems, from the letter of June 16, not oven to
!have been informed of the sex_of the second child
till upwards of a month after its birth. fl is idea
appears to hove been, that the object of Mr.
Foote's family was to form a connection (not a
matrimonial one) between Miss Foote and Mr.
'Payne ; and that his (Colonel Berkeley's) two
children would in consequence be brought up by
their mother while living under the protection of
another man. His letters of June 20th,
and 30th, all go to avert this evil; and it seems
a species of infuttiation 'in the Fdotes not to have
satisfied him on this head : in which event be
wodld have left into Miss Foote hesself to make
the disclosure of het-teal situation to Mr.llayne.

We cannot do better than recommend the sub-

The letters received from Dover yesterday
state that there had yet been no arrivals from
Calais and no departure for the French coast.

The town was full of passengers who were wait-
ing to cross the Channel, but the hurricane of
Wednesday x,w, not yet sufficiently abated to
allow of the attempt being made with safety. It
has seldom happened, that all communications be-
tween the two countries have been so long inter-
rupted. The occurrence is extraordinary, and
takes place at a time when the intelligence from
Paris promised to assume a greater degree of in-
terest than usual. For Charles X. was to open the
Session of the Legislative Chambers in person on
Wednesday, and his speech on that occasion being
the first public and avowed exposition of the
policy, which he intended to pursue, cannot fail
to prove important, as fixing the character
and tendency of the new reign. We have made
the necessary arrangements to procure a copy,
and are in the hourly expectation of an extraor-
dinary express with the official document, which
would no doubt have already reached our office
had not the difficulties of the weather interposed.
We shall keep the Press open to the latest hour
posssible, in order to comMunicate the ;mein-
gence to all our readers : but should it arrive
too late to be given in our first edition, it shall
immediately appear in a second.

[BRITISH PR 1.39.]
The Annual General Meeting of the Ship-
owners' Society yesterday, was rendered more
than usually interesting, by the references made
to the sound and liberal principles on which his
Majesty's Ministers are acting with respect to the
trade and navigation, of the country. On the
commencement of the New Year the important
Statutes enacted during the last Session of Perlin-
went will coine into operation; and it is highly
gratifying to find the, enlightened merchants of
the city of London offering the expressions of
their perfect. approbation of the course pursued
by Government ; indeed the great benefits that
will result from the consolidation and amendment
oldie laws relating to commerce, must be ob-
vious even to those who are not exposed to the prac-
tical inconveniences of the confusion and linear-
tainty formerly existing on this subject. The open-
ing of the Committee's Report adverted to the
bills introduced by Mr. Ilerries, at the close of
last Session, for repealing all the present laws of
Customs, and comprising, under four flew statutes,
all the legislative provisions which it is deemed
expedient to retain. The laws relating to the
Customs now in force are no fewer than 469 in
number. The consolidating of the Navigation
Laws, according to the statement of Mr. Towles
yesterday, has rendered them so easily intelligible,
that " any Shipowner may make his shipmaster
understand. the whole tendency of them in a
week." A similarly advantageous consequence
will accrue from the projected consolidation of
the Laws of Customs.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The exhibition in the Chronicle of yesterday,
of the landholders of a large section of the island,
stimulating to a violation of the laws which as;
Magistrates they had sworn to execute, and'
grasping at an addition to their incomes, ob-!
wined at the expellee of the morals and honesty
of the people over whom they are placed, affords
' an lllltrUclive lesson. I t teaches us that anon
are never to he trusted when their interests are
concerned, that when individuals have an in-
; tereSt 'Separate front that of .the public they will
a lmost invariably give the preference to themselves.
Committees of the House of Commons, Benches
of Magistrates, and other Bodies, have, over and
over again, shown us the omnipotence of self-inte-
rest, and how little regard is paid to justice when
interest is at variance with it. These truths
should be sedulously Inculcated, because the
knowledge of the: disease is often the half of the
cure. No man who knows any thing of human
nature ought, for instance, to be surprised that
the Magistrates of England have converted the
licensing of public-houses into a source of gain to
themselves, thpir relatiOns and eonnexions. Them
is, however, an audacity in the confederacy of
:the `Scotch Justices, to which English nerves
are hardly equal, and which may justly excite
n tittle gutprise in this part of the Island.—;
The English do not go so directly to' work ;
they are fonder of recurring to the help of fic-
tions, when they commit spoliations on their
neighbours; they would persuade you, that when
they put their hand in your pocket it is merely to
have the pleasure of counting what money you
have, and not to take any of it out. In England
no man professes to wish power of any kind fo'r
his own sake, but merely for the sake of others.
The,Magistsate as well as the Member of Parlia-
ment seeks for no compensation for his services,
but the esteem and gratitude of his fellow-
citizens.

CMOaNING lIERALD.I
It is a conscientious
,public duty, both moral
and political, to resist and expose an attempt
made at present by tA Minor' t )4; and a very small

perhaps an ominous pause!" Again, the Catholic
Association was, awhile ago, a handful of noisy
demagogues, without inflUenCe or consideration;
.and therefore:to be put clown 'with a strong hand.
Well, he it so. Let these agitatisre., disavowed
'by the great mass of Irish Catholics,' be put
down. But a little time has ilassedond these
demagogues have and are acknowledged to have
gained influence and eousideratiou—hi fact, the

support and confidence of the whole Catholic po-
pulation. Are the alarmists satisfied ? Not at
all. It is a good reason for putting it down
as an usurpation of the functions of Govern-
ment. But let us make one remark here
en-passant—Why have the functions of the Go.
vernment been, if they are, issurped ? Because
the Government has not properly exercised them.
The Government has in its hands the means of
taking the Catholics out of the hands of the As-
sociation. A Government that misrules the peo-
ple, like a husband thaoll-treats his wife, must
not complain of alienation and abandonment. In
the next place, the alaimists think it is beyond
question, that the. Catholic Association is running
full speed. to rebellion, though the Members
stoutly declare ,the contrary, and even have no
such intention. There is, it is true, a casein point,
in one of the Comedies of Moliere, cc Muir Ales-
SiC2l7'B," says M. de Porceaugnac, when the doc-
tors insist upon it that he is alarmingly ill,
though he has himself no idea of it ; "Mais, Mes-
sieurs, Je ire sects pas malude." " I.fh ! muuvais
signe," said the Doctor, 44 quand nn malnde ne
sent pas son mad." It is also said that the CathO-
lic Lords and Commoners may sacrifice their in-
terests for the tagury of an insurrection as rich
Lords and Commoners risked life and property
to rebel iu Spain. This is an unhappy analogy,
and cuts both ways—but more keenly against
the alarmists. The teal truth is that the pro-
gress of knowledge and liberality has left
the bigots and exclusionists not aleg to stand
upon. The same' progress of mind and dominion
of enlightened reason which broke the sceptre in
the hands of Catholicism, are acting' in turn on
the Protestants, dispelling their prejudices and
assuaging their animosities. What strides has
not reason made against bigotrinow in a very'
few years. Look at the laws repealed, the 'laws
enacted, and the doctrines professed in the short
period of six or seven years, on matters of agri-
culture, manufactures, navigation, criminal law,
and various other subjects. What masses of an-
tiquated prejudice swept away. Surely the penal
laws for reliion—the most odious of all—are not
alone to last for ever.

By the James Capper, from New York to Li-

new from the theatre of war in Peru, or, indeed,
from any other part of South America ; but they
have accounts from the city of Mexico to the

In the sOlenot Addresses and
on this occasion, the liveliest joy is expressed et

ardent devotion Is breathed to the cause of in-
dependence and union, On the sth of the same
mo oth the Supreme Executive Power issued con-
jointly, 4 bong 'MLIIII(PSO to the States .of
the Federation ; and
,on the 10th, President
Victoria. published a separate Address of a
similar character, in which he refers to the
examples, of Penn, Washington, and Bolivar ;
and exhorts the. Mexican nation to cultivate
liberty, as the basis of all real happiness and
power. Allusions of a corresponding character
are contained in the Address of the General Con-
gress to the Mexicans : and should the end only
correspond with this auspicious beginning, the
Mexicans would have ample cause to be grateful
for their separation from Spain. The elevation
of General Victoria to the President's chair up-
pears to have given. general satisfaction, Which
' has been enhanced by his predecessor in office
readily agreeing to act ender him in the capa*city

in this subordinate capacity, has fully con•
firmed the opinion of his probity and
patriotism,, which his previous conduct had
inspired, and has moreover consolidated the cause,
which from the beginning he seems to have em-
braced with .equal fervour and disinterestedness.
It was fondly -expected by the enemies of the
country, that piqued at the,preference given to
Victoria, he would refuse the post of 'Vice-Presi-

they judged in. this manner.. As to the ;new,
President, he enjoys the highest reputation
amongst his countrymen, both for 'vigour land
talents, as well as for his zealous attachment
to the independence and liberties of his.country.
He has, besides, an unextinguishable hatred
of Spain, or, more properly speaking, of her
claims to sovereigujutlsdiction. Ills elevation
is. a death-blow to the pretensions of that Power ;

punish them. As to open. violence, the very idea

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Dzc. 23.
THE LANCET.

_ .....
Mr,i-ROSE presented an affidavit from Mr. Abernethy, as
to tlie composition of his lectures, which he admitted to be orally
delivered, with the assistance of notes, intended for amplification
whenever he could find time to publish them.
HORNE thought that the affidavit was too obscure to be
the work of the author of the lectures. As to the manner in
which the defendant came by the copies, although solicited to
do so by the Court, he respectfully excused himself from mak-
ing any affidavit on the subject.
The Loan CHANCELEOR did not feel that he would be jus-
tified in granting the injunction upon this stage of the proceed-
ing. There must be sonic trial of the question, whether these
lectures were the same with those published in the Lama or
not, either before the Court, or by inquiry ,before the Mas-
ter. Before the Court, however, as he recollected, it could
not be; because there was no sufficient evidence to satisfy it
by that mode of inquiry: As to the cases, he was cleatly of
opinion that there was nothini.,o in any of them which determined
a right of property in an oral lecture. As to breach of trust or
of contract, either of those cases might be made out, perhaps ;
but until one of those cases should be made out, by showing the
express terms, or the implied contract or trust, he could not
grant the injunction. Of course there mkt be a complete re-
hearing of the cause upon one or other of those grounds, and so
far he was quite ready to comply with the inclination of the
plaintiff. Till then he could not grant the injunction. • In the
mean time, it was, perfectly competent to the plaintiff to have
that inquiry first-mentioned conducted before the Master.

HOWARD AND GIBBS.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the
sum of 1,4001. of the defendants, which lie had intrusted to them
to be invested in unnnities on good and sufficient security. The
defendants, .in the year 1814 or 1815, advanced this money to
Henry Mael Gould, for an annuity of 216/., charged upon
certain encumbered estates which he had in Ireland, and gua-
ranteed by a Mr. Edward Birmingham, styling himself Lord
Athenry; Premier Baron of Ireland. It was alleged, that at the
time of granting that annuity, the defendants knew that Colonel
Gould was in the ruleS of the Fleet Prison, and in circumstances
so embarrassed as to be obliged to apply for the benefit of the
Insolvent Act in the year 11317—that the security of Lord
Athenry was. utterly worthless and insufficient—and that no
peisons who had not some interested motives to gratify
would have taken the security of either of them for so
considerable a sum. The plaintiff; therefore contended
that he was entitled to recover this money of the defend-
ants, as he had lost it entirely through their negligence.—
On the other hand, the defendants maintained, that they
were not liable to the plaintiff, since the estates were fully equal
to the payment of the encumbrances upon them,.,and stated as
a proof of ther ignorance of Colonel (iould's insolvency at the
time.of the purchase of this annuity, that they had subsequent-
ly maile'eight half yearly payments of it to the plaintiff on his
account. There was a reat mass of evidence in support of the
allegations on both sides; but as the case has heen already
twice tried, and twice reported in our Journal, and as the evi-
dence Of to-day possessed neither novelty nor interest, we shall
merely state, that the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff--
