Smear or Fine Assts.—On 'Nesday an occurrence took
place in this neighbourhood, which displays at once the ventu-
rous lengths to which our Burma neighbours will go, to procure
offensive weapons, howsoever they 'nay intend to use them, and
the never relaxing vigilance of our Government in developing
and crushing such measures on the part of native visitants
might be converted to the prejudice of the British territories in
India. It is well known that the nannerous companies of Bur-
' mat who visit Calcutta for the purposes of trade, reside chiefly
at .Balliaghaut, where their boats remain during their stay. In
'the present instance a party of about three hundred in number
had completed to appearance their preparations for returning to
Sunderbund, and their boats were ready for an immediate de-
parture; secretly, however, they had made their arrangements,
according to which a large quantity of fire-arms, dints, ammu-
nition, &c. was to be embarked in the boats before they should
proceed on their return. Their secrecy did not prove impene-
trable, as the scheme was so completely disco rered and provided
against, thatbefore noon on the above-mentioned day, the boats
were visited by a strong guard of Sepoys, who were led to the
spot by the active and distinguished Magistrate of the suburb.,
Mr. &Lion

" The eager vigilance of the captors turned out to be unfor-
txnate, as they reached the pigmy flotilla before the greater part
of its intended stores and equipments had arrived, and only
found a few muskets, with upwards of 2000 flints stowed ~way
i very dexterously out of view in the boat belonging to the chief
of the party, which was accordingly taken possession of, with its
contents. The alarm of so early a visit enabled the Burmasrof
course, whO were approaching with the greatest bulk of their
munitions, to retrace their steps, and to save thems, lees from
apprehension ; yet although disappointment was experienced
from not making an entire seizure of the small arms, the object
of the trip was equally answered by preventing their being car-
ried off towards the shores of Arson."
