Brush forces down to The ION of Feb.
last, were making considerable progress
in the Burman territories. Assam was
province of The Burmese Empire, and
the inhabitants, by Inc Aslaic right oil
conquest were held as slaves. When
the British troops landed al Rsngoon,
the Assamese, through their RaIah, re.
quested military succors, tor their de

King OF Ava. These succors were col

Isaac B.. DEsHA, has again been
brought to the bar, tor the murder of Ba-
ker. On Thursday, 18th inst. inrors
had been obtained, and some Of the pa
pers state, " that the sheriff was out en-
deavoring 10 obtain as many as would
complete the pannel," andthat il was pro-
bable the trial would progress on the
Monday following. 1t also stated, that
Desha had " determined not to claim his
privilege of challenge, SO as TO prevent
trial." We gave II, as our opinion, some
six or eight months since, that Desha
would not be tried previous to the lato
election, and that he would ultimately be
acquitted. Ii win soon be known whe-
Their the opinion we then expressed was
correct. 9F
The Western Citizen states, that one
OF the jurymen, son being asked what
he knew relative to the murderer and tho
proceedings heretofore, in the case, re-
piled, that he had not SO much as heard
the name Of the culprit, or any circum-
stance concerning the affair !" With
such jurymen, Desha need not wish to
avoid a trial.-PubHc Ady.

exhibition of Manufactures is unusu-

Ell animals, we understand, exceed any
before collected, both in number and
condition. The farmers from distant
sections of our state, and from neigh
boring states, begin to appreciate the
utility of "the Maryland agricultural
society,"" and its efforts to collect and
diffuse Improvements, in all the various
of agriculture, by its an
