The BURMESE RUsr.-A correspondent Of
the Calcutta Citizen, speaking Of the recep
tion of tho English Embassy by the Burmese
King, says:
The only thing remarkable at this inter
view was an insnimate object, and that was a
ruby IN the centre Of the pagods crown of his
majesty. 1t was as large If not larger than a
hens egg, and far more valuable than the
great Kohinoor. Ii was beautifully cut, and
almost round az a marble. Ii was torn of the
ear Of the Karen Queen by Alomprs. 1t was
a pendant, being suspended by a wire casing
through her right ear. 1t is Of the purest
water, and more than two thousand years old,
if the traditions concerning il are 10 be be-
lieved. 1t came originally from Assam. and
belonged to the great king Houng- who
ruled in the whole Of Chin-1ndia This ruby
will, iprophesy, in ten years, be worn by our
queen and without any compunction Of
conscience, OF course. John Bull has little
respect for the command against coyetous
ness.
