The Singapore Free Press, of July 17, contains the following on this subject:— "On the 13th ultimo the Sarawak gun boat, Badger, arrived off Muka, on her way from Bintuls to Sarawak, and shortly after she had anchored heavy firing was heard in the direction of Oya, vhich it was subsequently ascertained proceeded from two Lanun prahus attack ing an Oya boat. About an hour after this two Lanun boats were soon in tho offing pulling up the coast. The sea breeze springing up the Badger get under weigh and gave chase, having on board Mr. Hay and some other persons who had come 3ff from Muka. The Lanuns, on seeing the Badger followbg them, waited for her, and when she was within a short distance she opened tiro on them with her 12-pounder pun, on which they pulled away, A running fight was then maintained for some time, the Badger firing some 30 or 4t rounds from her large gun, and a discharge being kept up with rifles. The pirates, how ever, made so much way with their sweeps that the gunboat could not get near them. Soon after a steamer appeared in sight, when the pirates exerted all their strength to get in shore. This they at last managed by crossing the Badger's bows, during which they were much cut up by her shot. The pirates succeeded in getting as close to the beach that they were out of range of the Badger'ss gun. The steamer then went ahead and lowered six boats which tried to cut the 'Araks off and drive them ashore;, but the Lanuns kept boldly on and ran the gaaiaaloa throne, ftC. beats, firing upon them with their lelas and muskets, and at last com pletely distanced them. It being now dark the pirates were lost sight of, and the Scout and Badger proceeded to Bin tutu, and next day the former vessels went on to Labuan; without making any further search for the Lanuns. It has since been ascertained from some captives who made their escape, that the pirates ran into a smal river and hid them selves, their boats being so much cut up by the Badger's shot that they could scarcely be kept afloat. They re mained for two days in their hiding places, repairing da mages, and then again proceeded to sea. Eleven captives succeeded in effecting their escape .'nom these boats, and they reported that in one of them there were nine men killed and wounded, the other also having suffered severely. Each prahu had a crew of 30 men, aad there were about 50 prisoners in each, chiefly Javanese, liugis, and Pontianak people. It was said that among the captives was the wife of Pangeran Bandahara of Soerabiya. These two boats left Sulo at the same time with the six destroyed by the Rainbow, but separated from than on an independent cruise. The Lanuns taken by the Rainbow and now in custody at Sarawak, state that thy were emboldened to proceed so openly along the coast of Borneo from there never being any steamers there on the look out for them, whereas the Spaniards have plenty, " For some years past the English naval authorities have chosen to leave the coast of Borneo entirely unpro tected, and the natural result has bsen that the pirates have resumed their former boldness, eru sing along the coast and actually making the colony of Labtan one of their stopping places, from whence they despatch 3missaries to Singapore, to dispose of the more valuable an' portable part of their plunder. Should the naval commander-in-chief think pro per to take proceedings against them there will be little difficulty in getting information as to their principal head quarters from the prisoners now ix the hands of the Sarawak Government. At all events, we trust that in future there will be a sufficient number of storm gunboats stationed on the coast of Borneo to intercept the pirates and give pro tection and security to the trade. If this is not done we may expect to hear:of English traders falling into the hands of the pirates some day, the case of the Lizzie Webber showing that they ate not disinc.ined to match themselves even with square-rigged vessels when the opportunity oc curs."

Baird, arrived in this port on the 18th inst. from Patras. She had been relieved there by the paddlewheel sloop Trident, 3, Commander C. J. Balfour. The screw gunvessel Foxhound, 4, Com mander the Hon. A. C. Hobart, also arrived here yesterday afternoon with despatches from the Com mander-in-Chief at Corfu and a taptil from that island. The Foxhound left Corfu at 545 p.m. of the 19th, leaving at anchor there the Marlborough, 131 (bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Fan , shave Martin, K.C.8.), Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., and the Algiers, 89, Capt. E. B. Rice. The Queen, 76, Capt. C. F. Hillyar, sailed from Corfu the same day for the Pincus, to relieve the Exmouth, 86, Capt. J. A. Paynter, erdered home to be paid off. The Algiers, it was expected, would proceed to Messina, in addition to the Doris, 32, Capt. Sir F. L. M'Clintock, and the Amphion, 36, Capt. A. G. Gordon, already on the coast of Sieily watching Gari baldi's movements. The Foxhound received orders to meet the Admiral at Zante, on her return from Malta with the despatches expected by the overland mail of the 18th inst. Having, how ever, sustained an accident to the coupling bolts of her shaft at midnight of the 20th, on her passage here, she will not be able to go up with the mail due to-night, and the Alacrity will take her place. At a Court-martial held on board the Queen, a Marine, named Francis titlynti-- charged with striking Sergeant Isaac Miller, R.M.A., was found guilty and sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. The Foxhound brought to Valetta a Marine, sen tenced to three months' imprisonment for prevari cating on the trial. I have also to report two cases of assault by soldiers on non-commissioned officers, which have occurred in this garrison. John M'Sweeny, a soldier of the 23d Royal Welch Fusi leers, was tried last week by general court-martial, for wounding with his bayonet in the chest in two places Corporal George Gay, of the same regiment, against whom he had some grudge. Fortunately, the wounds did not prove fatal. The prisoner, who bore an indifferent character, was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. The other case is that of a soldier of the 25th Regiment, who was to have been tried on Saturday for striking a sergeant, but, having been taken ill, the trial has been postponed until his recovery. The only ships of war in port are the Hibernia (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral H. J. Codrington, C. 8.), her tenders Growler and Boxer, and the gunvessels Alacrity and Foxhound. His Excellency Sir H. G. Robinson, Governor of Hongkong, and Lady Robinson arrived yesterday by the Ceylon, en route from Hongkong to Eng land. On the IGth inst. Corfu was visited by a violent thunderstorm, with heavy rain and strong wind from the north-west. Here we have had for the last fortnight very oppressive and sultry weather. During the whole of that period there has been nothing but one constant succession of siroccos, The health of the soldiers and sailors, nevertheless, continues good, and I hear similar favourable accounts from Corfu. Yesterday Rear-Admiral R. S. Robinson, Con troller of the Navy, went down to Chatham dock yard in order to inspect the works connected with the armour-clad frigate Royal Oak, 50 guns, which is to be launched in a few days. Admiral Robinson, who was joined at the dockyard by Capt. Fan shawe, the superintendent of the establishment, and Mr. Lang, master shipbuilder, first inspected No. 3 dock, in which the Royal Oak will be placed as soon as launched. In consequence of the great size and breadth of beam, however, of the iron plated frigate, which exceeds that of most of our line-of-battle ships, it has been found necessary to cut away several feet in thickness of the granite sides of the dock to allow of the vessel entering— an operation in which a body of masons and stone cutters have boon engaged for several months past. The work, however, is now nearly at an end, and before the 10th of September, the date fixed for the launch, the dock will be ready to receive the Royal Oak, it being intended to place her in dock imme diately, in order that no time may be lost in fixing the remainder of the armour-plates to her sides. Admiral Robinson afterwards proceeded to the eastern end of the yard, to the Royal Oak in the inspection of which he was occupied some time, every department of the vessel being minutely ex amined. The operation of plating the sides is sus pended for the present, the efforts of the 600 hands now employed on board being directed to the com pletion of the docks, the entire upper deck being covered with iron, and the general finishing off of the engine-rooms, decks, and the other internal parts of the vessel. At the termination of his in spection of the Royal Oak Admiral Robinson trans acted official business with Captain Fanshawe, and returned to the Admiralty in the afternoon. The paddlewheel steamer Argus, 6, 300-horse power, Commander Moore, fitting for service in the Chinese waters, received her armament on board Chatham yesterday. It consisted of two Armstrong and four smooth-bore guns, with the usual number of smaller guns and howitzers for boat service. The Argus has been selected to convey a detachment of the Royal Marines to Japan, the officers and men composing which have been specially chosen to per form guardand escort duty at Her Britannic Majesty's Legation, Japan. Preparations were yesterday commenced in Wool wich Dockyard, in clearing the thoroughfares, lay ing down an additional platform and stage, deco rating the gangway, &c., at the place of embarca tion for the Queen and Royal family on Monday, who are to take the steam tender Fairy from Wool wich to Greenhithe, and there j oin the royal squadron for Antwerp. The Osborne is under orders to return to Greenhithe after landing the royal family at Antwerp, and embark the Prince of Wales and suite, who will proceed to join her Majesty in Germany. The iron steam despatch vessel Caradoc was yes terday undocked at Woolwich, and the iron steam store vessel Buffalo was docked in her place. The crew of the iron steam store ship Supply, Master Commander Balleston, having been mustered by the Commodore Superintendent, the vessel left Wool wich for Greenhithe, to adjust compasses. She is laden with a general cargo of Admiralty and war stores for Bermuda, and is under orders to sail this morning. The steam sloops Prometheus and Alecto, in dock at Woolwich were yesterday ordered to be pushed forward for sea (most probably for duty on the West Coast of Africa) with the utmost possible despatch. The following promotions and appointments in the corps of Royal Marines Light Infantry have been announced at the headquarters of the first division, Chatham :—First Lieut. and Quartermaster T. H. A. Brenan, of the Portsmouth division, to be Capt. and appointed to the Chatham division, vice Capt. F. Walton, placed upon half pay ; Second Lieut. W. T.

A notice has been promulgated at Chatham that the prize money to the officers and troops engaged in the capture and sack of Delhi, in 1857, will be paid on and after the Ist September, on application at Chelsea Hospital. The regiments to whom the prize money will be distributed are the 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabineers), 9th Dragoons, 52d Light In fantry, Ist battalion 60th Rifles, 61st and 75th. A circular memorandum, addressed to the Royal Engineers, was yesterday received at Chatham gar rison from the Horse Guards, announcing that in future the period for which officers of the Royal En gineers shat; be allowed leave of absence from the corps without forfeiture of pay or servant's allow ance, shall be two months, of 62 days, when the leave is taken for two consecutive months, the rule being assimilated to that followed in the case of officers holding staff appointments. Major-General Stransham, Inspector-General of the Royal Marine forces, completed his autumnal visitation of the Woolwich division of the corps on Tuesday, by witnessing a course of rifle practice in the Plumstead Marshes, under the superintendence of Acting Brigade-Major Bruce, Royal Marine Light Infantry. Thence the Inspector-General, accompanied by his staff at Woolwich, proceeded to an inspection of the detachment doing duty at Deptford, under the command of Capt. Ellis. This brought the half-yearly inspection of the division to a conclusion. The Inspector -General desired the commandant to notify to the men his satisfaction of_ their steadiness under arms and their general move ments in the field. He also expressed his gratifica tion on the state of the several offices and depart ments throughout the division. In testimony of his satisfactory inspection of the schools, the General made several presents of money to the most merito rious pupils, and ordered them a public holyday. An order was also issued yesterday by the General's instructions that to mark his approbation of the efficiency which he had witnessed all divisional drills, parades, &c., for three entire days, would be dispensed with to enable the non-commissioned offi cers and men to visit the International Exhibition. Col. Mitchell, the commandant, was also pleased to forgive all men under his command who were con fined to barracks. The Inspector-General will pro ceed to the Plymouth division on the Bth proximo. LITERA7URE. Novel. Hurst andßy Bthiaeukett. author Measure o f : Gr f e o y r m .3 o l re ea .„ sur 3 e. vol A s. We find here, under an old title, a very clever and interesting novel, of which the plot is contrived with great skill—the reader's curiosity being largely excited, and true poetical justice is done in the end. The scene is laid in a quiet country village, called Wynthorpe, in which the chief residence, once an episcopal palace, had been taken by a wealthy London merchant named Clyde, whose daughter Beatrice, the heroine of the story, is thus intro duced :—" She was not exactly tall, though deci dedly above the middle height, and her figure was slight and elegant. Her head was remarkably well-formed, and beautifully set on; and her abun dant dark hair was so arranged as to show the tips of her delicate ears, and to mark the outline of her face in a graceful line, harmonising exactly with the perfect curve of her neck and shoulders. Her complexion was fair and clear, but not brilliant; her features small and regular, and her eyes large and dark, slightly shadowed by her broad white brow; the eyebrows almost straight, and forming a clearly-defined, slender line. Her mouth was flexible, and capable of relaxing into the most en chanting smile; but at present the lips were firmly closed, and an expression of mingled restlessness and discontent hovered over them." Of the society in the neighbourhood she soon monopolises the chief attention, not merely from her beauty and fas cinating manner, but from a certain air of mystery about her which is difficult to unravel- By tutog, reserved, or recklessly gay, she piques curiosity, gains numerous admirers among the opposite sex, and incurs the censure of the prudent among her own. Her mental state is thus described :—" It is in real life, as in books," thought Beatrice, " nothing but marrying or giving in marriage ; or, if not the realities, the shadows of them." They sickened her heart, yet she could not fly from them. Were they so pleasant, these realities, that people caught at the shadows and played with them ? How, if she, too, joined in the game ? It had been a dangerous one to many, she had been told, but there was excitement in it. Excitement and life ! and Beatrice thirsted for life, and chafed in the narrow prison in which she felt her whole being, outer and inner, fettered—and at the fate to which chance, or her evil genius, had bound her. Freedom ! Life ! Joy ! for these she longed. These she knew to be unattainable. But, oh ! to feel for one moment the reflected light of them ! To fancy, even for a little time, that which could never be real. To guess what happiness was like. To taste, but for an instant, the highest bliss that earth could give, though conscious all the while that the bliss was hollow, the imagination of it fleeting ! The secret of her unhappiness is that although ostensibly free, she is really fettered ; whilst neither of her parents have sufficient force of character to thoroughly sympathise with or aid her. One result of her position is, that she receives an offer from a Captain Denbigh, whom she is forced to refuse. He hurried from the room, and left Beatrice sitting, resting her arms on the table, her head bowed over them. She was wretched and humiliated. She had misled—if not wilfully, yet thoughtlessly—a man whose generous for bearance overwhelmed her with shame. lie might forgive her; but she could not forgive herself. Her love of amusement and excitement had led to this. Oh ! that the last two months could be blotted out of her life! Better the blank gloom she had endured before, than the feverish pleasure which had ended thus, in sorrow and disappoint ment to another—in dissatisfaction to herself. She had sought to catch a fleeting shadow, forgetting that what were shadows to her might be realities to others. Beatrice did not know how long she had been absorbed in her own thoughts, when a footstep in the room made her raise her head. It was her father's; and his glance, as she mot it, was fixed upon her in agitation and displeasure. " Beatrice I what is the matter 1 1 " " Nothing, papa ;" and she began, in confusion, to °Pen her desk. ^ -7 ‘ There is something," said Mr. Clyde, drawing a chair to the writing table, and sitting down exactly opposite to her, "and I can guess what it is. I met Captain Denbigh as I came through the lodge-gates. I asked why he was not staying luncheon, and received scarcely any answer. lie had a look on his face which I never saw there before, but which I have seen on other men's faces, and generally found to mean the same thing. He has been disappointed, and you are the cause, Beatrice." " Papa, this is hardly fair--" " Perhaps, and I want no confessions. But lam griev ously shocked and disappointed. I have given you wart ,- ings, Beatrice, but you have received them with pride; and knowing that I have forfeited the right to speak to you as some fathers might do, I have endeavour ed to root satisfied I with your assuran ces. But you have abused m 9 confidence, and you have used the privilege it so p I papa!" interrupted Beatrice, starting up, with glow i ng c hocks and glittering eyes, accu se me of anything but that. I have been wil ful and selfish/ but I have n ever d es pised your authority ; and I cann ot bear that y ou s hould think m e so ungene rous as to l e t any circumstanc es --" Whatever your notions way have been, you h ave ac t e d child of min e wou l d never in a way in which I trusted a have done. Perhaps I have no business to speak to you of honour ; but I did hope that, as a Clyde, you had some sense of it, You have shown you have not, by leading on a young man to propose marriage to you—to you 4, p apa, spar e 010 mo t s ay what I think, this time. I know that there are girlA who pride themselves upon the number of offers they receive; but you, Beatrice, I believed superior to van ity of that kind. You need no assurances to convince you that you are beautiful and attractive ; and yet you have acted as the weakest of vain girls—you, too, who ought to have felt yourself shut out, by an imprepable barrier, from anything of the kind. "Papa, you need not remind me of this," said Beatrice, clasping her hands passionately, 4 , My chain is for ever only too real and present, God knows!" So much of the interest of the story is dependent on the mystery connected with Beatrice's positions with the denouement, and that out of simple mate rials the author ha 3 contrived to produce most artistic effects. _ YOUNG WOITAN AN- 1 - ) HER BROTHER. -----4.--______ MURDER OF A placed i n ATTEMPTED thirty, a. labourer, of Manor-lane, n V do E wr -alrAadnAeclD:ltaAmoTtphiiTeoErri:Pai was;Ea the Seek at the Greenwich Police-court, yesterday, before Mr. Traill, charged with wilfully stabbin g Bridget Mary Hartnett and Alexander Hartnett. The parties wounded are now lying i n a dangerous state, the former in a room adjoinin g the police , court, being unable to be removed, and the latter in Guy's Hospital, both suffering from severe wounds ;afflicted with a large clasp knife in the left side, the wound on the female being imme diately under the breast, she also suffering from a similar inury on the right arm. Mr. Traill having been informed by Mr. Fisher, surgeon, who was in •attendance upeu the female, that she was in such a dangerous state as to render it necessary at once to take her deposition, his worship, accompanied by Mr. Boustred, the ch ief clerk, proceeded to the bedside of the unfortunate female when the examination took place in the hearing of the prisoner. The female, a young woman of pleasing features, about 25 years of age, stated that she first knew the prisoner six years ago, at which time he was a mar ried man. She bad seen nothing of him from that time until the second Sunday in July of the present year, when he sent for her to her sister's house, having inquired after her among hi s fellow-work men and found out where she was. He then repre sented himself as a widower and proposed marriage to her, the answer given by her bei n g that sh e thought it a hasty thing to do, and that she would, rather have time to consider over it ; but in con sequence of some persons saying if she married the prisoner she would never have cause to regret it, she was induced to have the banns published at the Roman Catholic church at Greenwich, the prisoner 'l44he-aatime _expressing a desire to tkoilrit't .. 0 be received as a member of that atififi him self. The banns having been twice pub lished, a communication was made to her that the prisoner had greatly ill-treated his wife, and that if she were married to him she could only expect to receive similar ill treatment. She and her brother told the prisoner what they had heard, which the prisoner said was not true, and expressed a desire to see his accusers face to face. The engagement between them was then broken off, but she afterwards visited at the prisoner's sister's at Rotherhithe, and was there on Tuesday evening when the prisoner returned from his work, and on her leaving to reach her home at Deptford by nine o'clock, the prisoner expressed his intention of accompanying her, which she ob jected to, reminding him of what she and her brother had before told him. He, however, per sisted in his intention, and having proceeded some distance on the road he induced her to go into a p , where the prisoner met several of his f e llow-workmen, and rema i ne d some time, when she public-house, d u h se er intenti on o f procee di ng home, at the expressed same time desiring the prisoner not to go further with her, as she was afraid of meeting her brother. The prisoner still refused to leave her, and they subsequently met her brother's wife's sister, who 1 remonstrated with her at being out at so late an hour (then after 10 o'clock), when she told her she had been endeavouring to get home during the pre vious two hours, but that the prisoner would not leave her. She afterwards endeavoured to get from the prisoner, who ran after her, when she remarked to him that his conduct towards her that night proved the truth of what she had heard of his pre vious history. The prisoner said he wished to have one word with her, and declared he would follow her until the morning. She and her brother's wife's sister then ran in the direction of the latter's home, to a spot where her brother was engaged on the Metropolitan Main Drainage Works. Here the prisoner was again remonstrated with, and was told by her and her brother that he would hear on the morrow what was intended, and on subse quently attempting to leave the prisoner he said he would have her life, followed her some distance and struck her in the breast three or four times, and also on the right arm; and finding herself stabbed she screamed "Murder," and " Police," and was afterward removed to where she was then lying. The prisoner declined putting any questions. Mr. Matson, omnibus proprietor, Deptford, de posed to hearing a female voice telling the prisoner that he might go his way and she would go her own, and the prisoner replied, " That cuts me to the heart." Witness then heard the sound of a blow, and saw the female fall, and afterwards saw pri soner and the wounded man scuffling together, and theyfeLli.d_he had The done prisonerw, h w aile intended.h tif hadtheknife in his hand, John Potter, watchman at the sewage *arks, ' gave confirmatory evidence of the occurrence. Po lice-constable 187 R afterwards came up, and with the assistance of three or four other constables the knife was taken from the prisoner. Inspector Saunders said he saw the prisoner and the wounded man together a few minutes previ ously to her running to him and saying she was stabbed. This being the whole of the evidence of the wit nesses in attendance, the prisoner was conveyed last evening to the bedside of the wounded man at Guy's Hospital, whose deposition was then taken, being the same in substance as that of his sister, given above. Mr. Traill remanded the prisoner, who appeared quite callous, and remained unmoved at the sight of his injured victims, to Maidstone gaol, THE CASE OF SHOO7ING A YOUNG WOMAN AT DALSTON. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Humphreys, the coroner, resumed the inquiry, commenced upon Saturday, at the Lord Truro, Dalston-lane, upon the body of Susan Dimmock, who was shot on the evening of Thursday last by Alfred Greave, under circum stances which have been already given. Mr. Horry appeared to watch the proceedings for the party so accused. Richard Greave now said that he went to the toll-bar upon the night of Thursday, at about half- , past 11. His brother was not there. The deceased came up soon after and stood at the door. Shortly afterwards his brother came to the door of the toll cur , box and, putting his arm round t he shoulders of the ' deceased, took up a pistol belong in g to the toll gate keeper, and saying someth in g to deceased, fired at her.

Thi s morning the two me n w h o have been, almost n d and fullyin a ' from the first moment, suspected of causing the d ea th of Wm. Elliott, Wh o was recently fou w heat-field, under circumstances reported which led t o an i m pression that a wilf u l and deliberate m ur d er h a d been committed, w ere again brought up before Mr. Edward Twopenny and the Rev. G. B Moore (sitting magistrates at Sittingbourne) by Superintendent G reen, of t h e Kent county i'olice, who, it may be remembered, had Band d charged with the alleged crime and discharged for want of sufficient evidence to convict them. The two men, William and Edward Johnson (father and son), coal, corn, and potato dealers at Sh eerness, having been placed at the bar, Mr. Superintendent Green called the attention of the bench to the previous circumstances of the case. Mr. S. G. Johnson, solicitor, Faversham, appeared for the accused parties. Mr. Goffit, a schoolmaster, of Queenborough, de posed that on Monday, the 18th inst., be went to a place named Pigtail, on the road to Minster, and on his road home a cart passed him, and he called out to the driver and asked for a ride home. After he got up to the cart, he saw it was Johnson, the elder, who asked him to jump up , a nd he did so. When ho had got into the cart Johnson asked about this murder, and what people said of it, and witness said that some people thought he was guilty, and some thought he was innocent; but on the day of the regatta at Sheerness he was spoken to by a man named Moss. He (Goffit) said he believed Johnson was innocent, and Moss replied that any ono who said so was either as bad or implicated i n the murder. On this Johnson jumped up i n the cart, and said with much emotion, "I did not know the man I shot." He (witness) said, " Hold your tongue, Johnson," and young • Tohnson also told his father to be quiet and mind what he said. After other evidence, Superintendent Green asked for a remand, which was granted. the river, the screw steam vessel rz er thy,., f ro m Waterford, SERIOUS COLLISION.—During with passengers and genera l cargo, ' wh ' i i st nea r Deptford s t o od by and rendered Dockyard, by some means ran down two coal brigs, named The ZephYr th e Martha and Icarus.
