THE MAJORITY OF ONE !

During the division by which the House of Commons
decided this morning that the further continuance in
office of her Majesty's present Ministers is at variance
with the spirit of the Constitution, there-was a great as-
semblage of persons in Palace-yard. After the result had
transpired, Sir R. Peel, on leaving the House, was re-
cognised by the multitude, who accompanied the Right
Hon. Baronet to his house, :in Whitehall-gardens, with
deafening acclamations.-4forning Post.
Our fashionable Contemporary mistook the
cabs for the cads that cheered the victorious
Baronet. The fact is, that on a late division
almost every cab in London goes to Palace-yard
for a late fare, and this morning, it being (unfor-
tunately for the cabs) a fine morning, nobody
wished to ride, and so the cabmen kept roaring
out, " Cab, Sir! cab, Sir ?" which noise the
Morning Post converted into cheers for Sir
ROBERT PEEL, who was hurrying away to his
house to escape the nuisance. The Right Hon.
Baronet walked so quick, that he left every other
Member in the lurch with " Cab, Sir?" " Cab,
Sir?" echoing at their heels. As Sir RonEwr
turned the corner into Privy-gardens, one of the
Irish Members (a repaler), smarting under his
defeat, exclaimed, "There goes numb;r one? I
wish him joy of his sole majority !"

MANTMAIN, liANCOON.—Accounts have been received
that on the night of Sunday, March 7, the greater part
of the town, and part of the walls of Rangoon, were
destroyed by fire. About 570 houses, it is said, were
consumed, and several of the English merchants there
have sustained great loss. The soldiers, and palace-
builders, increased the calamity by spreadinc, the fire,
robbing, and plundering, and even killing the inhabitants.
It is said some forty were found murdered.
Information has reached us that a party that pro-
ceeded from Calcutta in the schooner for the purpose of
visiting the Assam Company Tea plantation have at
length arrived at Gowahatty, on the 19th of March.
We understand the steamer experienced great difficulty
in making its way up the Assam river, in consequence of
the shallowness of its water. Mud banks were met with
frequently, on one or two of which the steamer struck,
and was not without considerable difficulty extricated.
