NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1858. Interesting from Burmah. WEW CAPITAL—RECEPTION OF 4 LETTER FROM YRESIDENT BUCRANAN—ENGLISH MONOPOL! seribed > — ‘The new city of Mandelay derives its name from a moun- tan which stands at the northeast corner, and about half a mile distant. Besides the ordinary name by which it is called, it has recently received a historical and royal title by which it may be distinguished in after ages from al ether royal citics in this empire which have preceded it in ‘the annals of Burmese history. The title is, “‘Maha-bong- gbyce-nay pyee dau-ghyee,’’ which signifies, “The great, great, great glory, and place of the rising sun.”’ d entry of the King and Court into the new place on the 7th day of the waxing of the moon ing to our month of July, 1867, and by all the pageantry and display usual The city Wahso, was accompanied ‘on state occasions. Within the period of cight short months a prodigious amount of work deen accomplished here, and with wonder and astonishment a stranger may now behold a mew city of about three bundred thousand souls, risen, a8 Mt Were, out of the ground. A littie overa year since the site of the present city ‘was one Succession of verdant fields, yielding a rich and fruitful harvest of grain for the immense population of the neighboring city and villages. earth, about een fect bigh and twenty fect deep, and spreading over & FUrface of two miles, has been raised up as a defensive work. The city is laid out in the figure of @ square, with @ Lempo: e in the centre, aud the streets, which are over a hundred feet broad, rin at right angles. Along the sides of the streets have been cut narrow channels for conducting a stream of water, which is a great im- provement over the late city. Rows of trees have yet to be planted, and efforts are being made to macadamize some of the public thoroughfares. The honses present considerable uniformity, not only in ‘the materia!s of which they are constructed, but in the style of building and size. The king, princes and noble- men are al! living within the walls, and all appear to Ihave spacious premises. The new palace is rapidly going ‘up, and around it is a brick wall, six feet thick. All the fo reeide on the west gide of the city, and the domesticated Chinese population on the south. As 8001 Moule, De the intention of the govern- ment 0 complete the digging of a deep trench outside of ‘the city walls, and to face the walls themselves with a strong brick work. On the four sides of the city, im- mense suburbs have already sprung into existence, anc are destined to be considerably. age Nothing can be better than regularity with which the public roads are laid out: and in every di- rection whole ranges of well constructed teak "and Damdoo duildings may be seen. A plan has been adopted for supplying the city with water by a canal er embankment leading from the river; and, in order to procure the necessary level, the embankment ex tends over a distance of sixteen miles. ‘The main channel of the river, which flows toward the southward, + three miles distant from the city; but half a mile vearer smaller branch hasto be crossed. Countless numbers of carte are hauling bricks and other building materials m different directions, and the great extent of public ‘works in progress renders the whole atmosphere of the region exceedingly dusty and unpleasant. The great moase of the population appear industrious and contented. In regard to order, quiet and the public peace, this city ‘6 a6 free from all rowdyism, public turbulence and street broeils as many of the cities of enlightened Christian na- Hons, if not freer.

The pockete of la- veg and gentic fe picked every day in the streets of London, under the very eyes of one of the best constituted police forces in the world.

Several months since the King of*Burmah sent to this country a friendly commu: tion, desiring friendship and comity, to the President of the United States. The com- munication was respon ied ur government in Gtting terms, and in due time arrived in Burmab. The manner of ite reception by the Burmese authorities is suficientiy ubique and interesting. The letter from the President of the United States to the address of his majesty the King of Bormah, brought to (his country by Mr. Kincaid, was received with every de- moustration of respect and honor. Expreasly for its reception, a royal zayat, or “thanday,”’ was built at the lower end of the city, and on the day of its delivery into the hands of the Burmah officers who were appointed to reeeive it, a long and imposing procession was formed to convey it a distance of five miles into the reval city. The procession Was organized in accordance with the usual style of oriental spleudor, comprising mounted horsemen seated on gilded saddiet, a le of fanbearers, dressed in flowing white robes, royal elephants decked with gilled howdahs, and, closing the whole, a crowd of government ‘offciais, some mounted on ponies and others walking, and attended by their followers, carrying various umbrellas and utensils The chief magistrate’s letter was opened at the zhootan, or royal court of the kingdom, by order of 4 woondouk, or under secretary of siate, where it war translated into Barmese by the kallowoon, who is am Armenian. In the evening it was presented by the woongyee, or great minister of state, to bis Majesty, who wae very, much pleased with it, Being the first communication of the kind ever received from the American government. and froma functionary of corresponding rank with the sovereign of any of the great Puropean nations, his Majesty was apparently anxious to mark the event as one of unusual interest to his govern ment.

A PEPLORABLE PICTURE—MISSING G1RI.—HRART- BROKEN WIFE—CNHAPPY FAMILY. [From the Wisconsin Mirror Last week Monday, about two o'clock P. M., Miss Ame a Dutcher, sister of Mrs. Bright, of New Lisbon, came in ‘the stage from Quincy and stopped at the Tanner Hovse in this place. She took room, and raid she wished to stay Over night and go to Baraboo pext morning. She was in the sitting room mort of the afternoon, took tea about dark, and nothing unnatural wae noticed in her conduct.

In the afternoon, while at Tapner’s, she asi some one where the depot wor, and it has been supposed that spe might have done so for the purpose of going to the railroad in the evening, and following it to the river. But to thie time (Monday forenoon) no new discoveries have been made, The prevailing opinion is that she threw herself into the river, and was carried, per hape, far down stream by the current Ab thie ie probabPy the sad termination op her part of # feries of criines in which another was the chief actor, we feel \t our duty towards bim and an outraged family, and our duty to the public, tostate the facts as we have learned them from good authority J.

(who had always borne a good reputation in the community, and stil! maintains it) felt obliged to open the whole matter to some of her friends near by, and ask for advice. From her and from Mr. B. the following {note were gathered The difficulties commenoed five or ex years ago in Ouio, when the sister went into the family wlive Mr. B's conduct was euch towards bis wife an’ such towards the fister, that Mre.

Last spring bis tyranny over his we hie intimacy with her slater, attracted the at, i A i a she goon left for Quincy, where Mr. B. occasionally visit In regard to the report, we do not jearn that it is known to be true. ‘Yn this state of things, Mrs. B. was advised to apply for adivorce. Upon learning her intention, Mr. B. forestalled her by getting out a petition himself for a divorce. But finding that there would be no chance in that community he abandoned it, and went to Indiana and commenced proceedin there to obtain a divorce. Returning, and earning that his schemes had been found out, he pro- fersed penitence, went to his wife and asked her forgive- ness, said he would live a new life if she would live with him, that if she would consent to sale of their place, he would withdraw his di- vorce suit in Indiana, that they would go to Indiana, where he had made arrangements for a law partnership, and to edit a paper, and that they would there live hap- pily together. Thus he again obtained his ‘8 confi. dence, and lived pleasantly with her a few days, till he procured her signature to the deed disposing of their home in New Lisbon; and now he has left her again, and it is supposed has gone back to Indiana. Under this state of things the sister came here from Quincy, aud disappeared as before stated. In regard to this disappearance there are some other circumstances which go to strengthen the belief that she has destroyed herse!’ It ie said that Mr. B. bad pretended to give her a title to come land near New Lisbon, which title proved worthies:. From that ‘and various slight circumstances—especially his attempt to procure a divorce from his wife—it is believed that he had promised the sister that he would obtain such divorce and marry her. It has been further understood at New Lisbon that he has lately written a letter back from In- diana, to some crony, stating that he is living with an- other’ woman there.” Then, too, Miss Dutcher’s re- latives, including a sister’ who lives at Baraboo, had condemned her coursg Under these cir” cumstances it is natural t6 suppose that if she started to go from Quincy to Baraboo, on arriving at this place, the thought of the reception she would meet there, and from all her relatives, should she go to them, and es- pecially the thought that her last friend, Mr. B., had de- serted her, would prove sufficient w arive her to a sad re- solution of self-destruction. Mr. Bright, we understand, was formerly » Methodist minister. He is easy in his address and familiar in his conversation, and many of his editorials were bold in con- demnation of drinking saloons, gambling and other vices. But no one of ordinary perception can be in his company, even for only a short time, without discovering that he is coarse and vulgar, and almost entirely destitute of moral principle. The probability is that he made a profession of Christianity and even preached the gospel in order to weave a thicker cloak for his deviltry. For the credit of the editorial profersion we will say that he never was a professional editor. He only edited the Republican a short time, as a secondary buainess, til! some other editor could be procures Tar INTERNATIONAL CrickeT Matcu.—A New York correspondent of the Boston Adlas says:—A national cricket mate! ¢ of your “eleven of Canada against eleven of New York”’—but a regular top-lotty aifair, be tween the United States and England, is now on the tapis, as the public will now for the first time learn through yourcolumns. Although this match has been for some Lime talked about in the cricketical circles, it was not until onday, November 1, that a formal meeting was held to take it into consideration. The St. George's Club was con yened on Monday evening last, for the purpose of taking the initiatory steps to bring about the proposed match, Last summer the secretary addressed a note to the “Lords’ Club, Marylebone,” to ascertain whether and upon what terms the best eleven of England would visit the United States for the purpose of playing friendly match. An answer came that they would come over for one hundred pounds sterling per man—enough to Pay passage to and fro and expenses—the party to consist of thirteen persons—eleven players, one umpire and one scorer. Your English readers are aware, though your Puritan readers probably are not, that the eleven of the Lords’ Club are regarded as the best in the realm. They do nothing but play cricket, and earn, on an average, from four to five pounds a week. It is understood that if the proposed match comes off, the eleven will be composed of six or seven professionals and four or five young sprigs of nobility. The St. George’s Club propose to raise seven thousand dollars to defray the hospitalities, aud have re solved to do it. Letters were directed to be written to Lord Napier and Mr. Archibald, the British Consul, solicit ing their donations and co-operation. Should favorable answers be received they will impart to the affair addi tional eclat. Superior Court—General Term.

Entered at the port.$84,624,266 86,700,043 53,146,673 Thrown on market, 83,710,710 79,553,874 60,879,520 By the above statement it will be seen that the amount of dry goods entered at this port the past week is below that for the same week in the two previous years, while the amount thrown upon the market was in excess of that for 1857, but under the amount for the same week in 1856. The aggregate amounts singe the 1st of January last are under those for the same period for the two pre vious years. The autumn trade is over, and no revival of moment is looked for untii the opening of the spring trade in February. The supplies of goods will be in ample stock and Variety to suit the wants of the trade. A good trade from the Southern and MidvJle States is anti cipated, and active preparations are being made to pro: vide for it. The older States of the West promise to do better the next season than the past, while the new States of the Northwest are still embarrassed from the effects of speculation followed by the panic of 1857. ‘Owing to a want of a good export demand, flour and grain sell at low rates, which tends to postpone the recovery of that part of the country from its financial difficulties. The crop of corn, however, as a general thing, has been goo, and being largely fed to hogs and cattle, the supply of pork and beef promises to be large, aud will likely command remunerative prices through the season. This fact will tend to improve the resources of the people, and likely add to an increased consumptive demand for yous, ae itis known that supplies in the hands of dealers are quite moderate. At the South what cotton lacks in price promises to be made up in quantity, which will keep the people supplied with ineans to consume an amount of goods fully equal if not in excess of that of last year. Clothing houses are busy in making up stock to meet the early spring trade of the South. In domestic cotton goods we have no im- portant changes to notice. The demand for cotton piece goods was light. About 500 pieces of drills were taken for China, on private terms, supposed to have been at a slight concession on previous prices, There was some demand for bine drills for export to South America, which were steady at 10'\c. All woollens and mixed ‘goods, except all wool Indies’ reversable mantle shawls, were dull Blankets and flannels were heavy, with little doing. Foreign® aple goods were quict, ag usual between seasons. Fresh importations of faucy silks and printed goods find eales at ful! prices. Velvots were in fair request. Black silks were in fair request, but without change of moment in prices. Some inquiry existed for linen goode, alpacas Italian light cloths, &c., from manufacturing’ clothing houses, and from the near by trade. The last public sale of French goods for the season was hel! on the 10th inst. It drew a good company, and the bidding was spirited. The line of dress goods was sold through at satisfactory prices. Mersre. Haggerty & Co. held a sale on the 12th inat., which comprieed 864 lote of hosiery. The sale drew 4 fair and spirited company, and desirable knit goods brought fair prices CITY COMMERCIAL REPORT.
