The Bunhese were beaten by a flaok movement , which rendered their preparations for resistance from the centre of their position useless . General Godwin takes due notice of two novelties in the warfare of the Burmese , they attacked in flank , and threw out skirmishers to the front ; beside this , he bears testimony to their steady and well-directed fire . These are ominous
° i the future difficulties of the war . Almost simultaneously with the publication of " > e Indian despatches in the Gazette , appeared those from the Cape . Sir Harry Smith landed at Portsmouth on Sunday , and was feted by the Ports mouth burghers on Monday . He considers the war as virtually at an end ; but that is not so a pparent from the despatches . Certainly the witis h troops have been successful in the capture
cattle , and in driving the enemy from p lace to place . Several daring feats have been performed , Jp general hunt conducted against the Kafirs . ut this , though less vigorously , had been done "Wore , a nd so tenacious are the " fickle Kafirs , " 0 incorri gible the " ungrateful Hottentots , " that ^ expect to hear more of both before cither are JJined .

also followed in the Manchester wake ; but in ^ different as may be the Parliamentary conduct of Mr . Wakley and Mr . Duncombe , they are far superior to Mr . Wyld , who has been tried and found wanting , and Alderman Challis , who has not been tr ied at all . Liverpool promises a fierce contest ; Edinburgh goes a hunting for a candidate ; while Bristol , in a fit of barbaric enthusiasm , unyokes
the horses from the carriage of the liberal candidates ; " independent" electors taking the place of intelligent brutes . County Down proposes to signalize its independence of Londonderry;—to elect Lord Castlereagh for Belfast , and Sharman Crawford for Down ; while nearer home , West Surrey , in the person of Colonel Challoner , finds a Radical and Free trader willing to contest one of the seats . Ministers were rather severely handled by Sir
James Graham ori Thursday . There was no ostentation of opposition , but it was all the keener for being covert . The Maynooth debate is again adjourned to Tuesday ! These shuffling tactics are getting intolerable ; and Sir James broadly hints that the reputation of Parliamentary government itself is degra ded by Ministers , llathcr a smart cut at the Caucasian leader !
Ireland is now bound to England by a submarine telegraph from Holyhead to Kingston . The first message which passed through tlio wires was " The Irish Submarine Telegraph is completed . " This is a more perfect bond than the Treaty of Union . . .. On Friday week the Booksellers' Association honoured the pledge of its committee and dissolved itself . It was obvious that , notwithstanding tho disclaimers of Mr . Secley and the dissentients , the
feeling in favour of the dissolution was very general . Thus free trade conquers another department of commerce , and unrestricted . supply and demand' * rules over an additional territory . The more the merrier . Competition , like mor nopoly , , witt wor ^ tts Own cure . S : t . v ¦ ' > X - >^ j | i Hi $ ! i ^^ * Fr ^ to ; ^ b ^^ : || ggtii £ y ^ l 3 & - ' ^ ¦ * f

The financial crisis looms daifcly ; th 6 Legiblatiye Body , mindful of the fate of Assemblies , declines to be the scapergoat of licentious extravagance ^ and to cover dilapidation with imposts . It has , we are told , " strangled the Budget with amendments !"
Switzerland has threatened another war of the Sonderbund : but for the moment the danger has passed , and we only hear of a dynastic restoration of Neufchatel to its " rightful owner , " the King of Prussia , under signature of the Five Great Powers sitting in Downing Street , Lords Derby and Malmesbury , the pacific non-interventionists , are determined to let England feel , and Europe acknowledge , the full force of a Tory Government , by rushing headlong into the toils and trammels of a new Holy Alliance . This is one side of
Malmesbury ' s foreign policy : the other is . to appraise England ' s honour at 250 / . ! May England bear Malmesbury in grateful remembrance ! How is it that American citizens , with the scanty aid of a frigate and a steamer or two , can make even despotism respectful and courteous , whilst we , with our imperial taxation and our royal navy , are buffeted , and sabred , and dragged to the felon ' s gaol in the very ports where the British Ensign is flying ? We forbear to press the inevitable answer , but let Conservative Ministers look
to it betimes . Early in the week , news reached Town by the Scotch papers that gold diggings had been revealed in the Lomonds by the letter' of an emigrant shepherd boy ; and a rush was made to the spot indicated , accordingly . Alas , it turned out that the supposed gold was sulphurous limestone of a pretty yellow colour ; and so ended the bright visions of the diggers I In the real gold fields , however , " the root of all evil" still yields a plentiful crop .
