The Rajah of Sarawak was bound from Calcutta for Whamposa. The particulars of the attack are thus described in a letter from Capt. Giles to his friends : "The ship was attacked by pirates coming up the river. We, however, beat them off without losi n g one of our men, but killed eight of the pirates. There were 40 men in the pirate pros, 32 of whom made their escape, though their boat sank before reaching the shore, from the effect of our nine-pound grape." BLAST OF 12,000 TONS.—The great limestone quarries at Penderry, in the Vale of Neatb, have been the scene of a blast which has detached the enormous mass of 12,000 tons of solid rock. An old obamber was cleared out to an extent of 10 yards, and half a ton of powder was placed therein. The match having been lighted, in 11 minutes the explosion took place, which drove out a mass of rock 20 yards square, and immediately the whole face of the rock, 120 feet in height, rolled down and filled the quarry below. The calculations range as high as 15,000 tons, stones 250 tons being detached sepa rately. These quarries are the property of Mr. Wm- Crawshay, and supply great quantities of limestone to the adjacent ironworks. FINLAND.—A letter from Wiborg, in Finland, of the 29th ult., says :—" One of the most collossal enterprises ever undertaken in Finland, the construction of a canal rom Siama to Wiborg, bas just keen terminated, after twelve years' uninterrupted labour, though sixteen had been considered necessary. This immense canal, which has innumerable branches, places the interior of Finland, where there are scarcely any roads, in fired communi cation with the Gulf of Bothnia. The length of it, in cluding the branches, is equal to a third of the total ength - of Finland. PEMBROKE DOCKYARD.—Great additions and altera tions are being made at Pembroke Dockyard. The pre sent dry dock is being widened and lengthened, so as to meet the requirements of our new class men•of--war. Two now slips for ship-building are in course of erec tion ; these are being made of huge blocks of limestone, with copings of granite. Other slips are being length ened to meet the increased size of the ships, and the consequence is a great increase seaward of the establish ment. The lengthening and widening of the dock this year cost 10,0001., and the new slips and beat basin will take 14,0001. The entrance of the dock is to be widened, at an expense of 5,0001.

BOW-STREET. ATTEMPT TO SMOOT A POLICEMAN BY A BOY.—A. la , ' named Beaumont, aged 15, was this morning placed at the bar, charged with attempting to shoot Police constable 4 F. Mr. Thomas Naylor stated that last evening he, with with his wife, went to Chancery-lane, the residence of the prisoner's mother, who is a relative of his (witness's) wife, to ascertain the state of her health, she being in the last stage of consumption. While be was there the prisoner began to use very bad language, which had a very serious effect upon his mother, who was in bed in the apartment. He remonstrated with the prisoner, and told him he ought not to act in the way he was doing, for the sake of his mother. He continued to use dig gusting language, and be (witness) boxed his (prisoner's) ears, when he turned round and attacked him with a knife, which he took from him. The prisoner then stooped down and picked up the poker, with which he was about to strike him, but he closed with him, and knocked it out of his hand, but not before he received a blow on the temple, the mark of which was visible. The sister of the prisoner was so greatly alarmed at his outrageous conduct that it was deemed advisable to send for a policeman. He went down stairs with the intention of getting a policeman to frighten the boy, as bethought if he gave him in charge it would have a fatal effect on bis mother. A policeman came up, and he mentioned the circumstance to him, and the constable went up stairs. In a very short time after, while at the foot of the stairs, he heard a slight report. Police constable 4 F said he was on dirty last night in Chancery-lane, and at about half•past eight he passed the house in which the prisoner resided, No. 30, and saw Naylor talking to a constable. He stopped, and he then heard the first witness say he had taken a knife from the boy, but he did not wish to charge him as his mother was so ill. While he was at the door Naylor's wife came down stairs and said she must give the boy in charge, as it was not safe to have him in the house, and she then asked him to come in and take him into custody. He entered the house and went up stairs, and saw the prisoner standing in the passage of the first floor, and the female said to bim, " That's bim." Ho was about to take the boy into custody, when be said, "Wait a minute," and he then ran into the kitchen, and his sister screamed and said he had got a pistol. Before he could get the weapon from him he levelled it at him and pulled the trigger; bat, fortunately, the percussion cap only exploded. He then seized the prisoner, and the pistol having been secured by his father, he (constable) asked if it was loaded, and the prisoner said "Yes." He was standing about a yard and a half from the boy when he shot at him. The prisoner was then taken to the stat'on house,and on his being searched a sniallquantityof gun pow der and a box containing some small shot and percussion caps was found on him. The pistol was a double-bar relled one, and on the charge being drawn at the sta tion-house it was found to have been properly loaded, and contained about 30 small shots. On his way to the station-house the prisoner said that either his brother or sister would have been served the same way if they had been first. He also said the powder was damp, and that he only acted as he bad done to frighten people. Mr. Jardine asked the boy what he had to say in Answer to the charge. The boy, who during the hearing of the case had evinced the greatest indifference, declined saying any thing. Mr. Naylor asked the magistrate if he would deal in a summary manner with the case. Mr. Jardine—You might as well ask me to deal sum marily with a case of murder. The offence with which the prisoner is charged is nest to it. If the pistol had gone off, the officer would no doubt have been killed. Mr. Naylor.—l think his intellect is not so clear as it might to be. _ _ The father of the boy, a very respectable man, being in court, the magistrate desired him to come forward, and he then put the question to him whether he thought the mind of his son was disordered. The father said he had not the slightest reason to think so. 158 162 The depositions were then read over and signed, the witnesses were severally bound over, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A SUSPICIOUS CASE.—Joseph Howard, a middle-aged man, who described himself as a metal dealer, residing at No. 5, Liverpool-road, King's-cross, was brought be fore Mr. Bingham, charged with having a large quantity of metal in his possession, supposed to have been stolen. Police constable 75 F deposed that about ten o'clock that morning he was on duty in Crown•street, when he saw the prisoner approaching him with a bag con taining something heavy across his shoulders. Witness watched him for a few minutes, and saw him, e iter a marine store shop in the same street kept by a man named Church. Witness followed him and saw him shoot a quantity of brass taps, bellg, and pewter measures into the scales. Witness asked the prisoner where he got the metal from, and he then said he was a metal collector, and had bought it in the usual way of business. Not being satis fied with that answer, he took the prisoner into custody. On examining the articles he found a quart pot, with the name of Argent, Cock and Bottle, Strand, engraved thereon, several pounds weight of run metal, and a number of bells and brass taps; the whole of which he now produced. The prisoner denied that the metal was stolen, he pur chased the run metal of Frederick Knowlton, a marine store dealer, in the Broadway, Westminster, for 61d. a pound, and the pewter pot be bought of Knowlton's brother, in Holles-street, Clare Market ; the rest of the metal he picked up in the regular way of business. Mr. Bingham said the case was full of suspicion, and remanded the prisoner till Friday next. take them up it turning. She then took of their pinafores, rolled them up under her shawl, and left them. Witness stopped her, and asked her what she had been doing, with these children, when she replied that they were her own, and she was going to take them home to 41, Union-street. 'Witness looked under her shawl, and found the two pinafores produced, when they went back to the children, who were too young to tell their parents' address. They, however, told him that the prisoner was not their mother. James Thomson said he resided at No. 21, Horsley place, Belvedere•road, and that the children, Richard and Robert, belonged to him. They strayed from home on Monday afternoon with their pinafores on, and in the evening he found they had been stolen from them. He identified the two pinafores produced as his pro perty. Elizabeth Miller, 8 years old, raiding with her parents in Paradise-street, Lambeth, was next sworn. She said that one day the week before last the prisoner met her and two other girls in the Westminster•read, and asked them to accompany her to Kennington•park. They all went there, and while sitting on one of the benches the prisoner took off their shoes, bonnets, and shawls, saying that she was going to show them to a lady, who would send them back new ones. She then went away, but never returned. The two other girls here identified her also, but they were too young to be sworn as witnesses. The mothers of the children said that they sent them out with all their clothes on, and the poor things were brought home nearly naked and crying very much. The prisoner, who laughed nearly all the time the ex amination was going on, said in the most impudent manner that the children, as well as all the other wit nesses, were liars. She knew nothing of them. A former conviction having been proved against her for similar robberies, the magistrate fully committed her fur trial at the ensuing sessions.

The committee f consultation, appointed on the 29th ult., at the half-yearly meeting of this company, for the purpose of consulting with the board of directors as to the retirement of four of their number, to make rcom for four gentlemen to be selected by the committee of consultation, subject to the approval of the shareholders had their first interview with the Eastern Counties Board on Thursday, the 4th inst., Mr. C. Fano presiding. It appears that the reception was by no means in accordance with the views of the committee. At the request of the chairman of the board, Mr. Malins, the chairman of the committee, handed in a written proposition, which was to the effect " That four members of the board should resign, agreeably to the reso lution of the general meeting of proprietors passed on the 29th ult." The committee report that to this proposition a verbal reply was sent out by the secretary (Mr. Owen), "that an answer would be forwarded." The committee feeling that they were entitled to "confer" with the board, remonstrated at such summary treatment, and were again ushered into the board-room, when, after considerable pressure, Mr. Fane, to the astonishment of the committee, consented that the draught answer of the board should be then read on the following condition —"provided there was no discussion upon it." The secretary then read the fol lowing resolution :—" Resolved, that this board does not consider itself authorised, and therefore declines, to take any step in reference to the retirement or appointment of directors, the regulations relating to their retirement and appointmeut having been prescribed by Parliament." Mr. Malins then endeavoured to ask a question, when Mr. Fane replied, " You may ask any question you like. I shall not answer you." The committee then withdrew, not a little surprised at the discourteous treatment which they had received at the hands of the chairman of the directors. The committee now call upon the directors to summon a special general meeting for the purpose of carrying out the resolution passed at the last half-yearly meeting with reference to the retirement of four old, and the appointment of four new directors, and they protest against such resolution being set at nought. should the board decline to accede to this request, the committee of consultation state that they will take the necessary - steps to present a formal re quisition to the board, according to the act of Parliament, calling upon them to convene such meeting. The com mittee conclude their report by expressing an opinion, in which they trust the proprietors will concur, that the treatment which they, as a body delegated by a large meeting of shareholders, received at the hands of Mr. Pane was not such such as could be tolerated by gentle men under a prosperous state of affairs, much less under difficulties mainly attributable to an improper and reck less management.

THE SWELL MOH AND THE REV. MR. SPURGEON AT TRINITY CHAPEL, POPLAR.—Tohn, Thomas, Edward Reynolds, and Alex. Fitzwilliam, three well-dressed and active young men, were brought before Mr. Selfe charged with being at Trinity Ch a p e l, East India-road, , Poplar, for the purpose of committing felonies. Police-constable Copping,'No. 379 K, stated that the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon was preaching at Trinity Chapel, East India-road, Poplar, last night, and the place was crowded to excess, and it was necessary to have a large force of police to preserve order and to prevent rob beries. About half-past 7 o'clock the prisone:s came up the portico of the chapel, where many persons were collected who could not gain admission. They stopped a few minutes and then went into the East India-road. A. few minutes afterwards Fitzwilliam came to the chapel again, and mixed with the crowd at the door. He asked him what he wanted there I To which he re plied that he came there for the same purpose as others, to hear Mr. Spurgeon preach. He took him into custody. Christopher Lloyd, 297 K, saw Reynolds and Thomas mix with the congregation close to the door of the chapel, when they came there a second time. Their movements were very suspicious, and, he took them into custody. Thomas Townshend, 54 H, knew Reynolds and Fitz william. The former was convicted for pocket picking, at the Mansion-house, a year ago, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour, and was sub sequently convicted at the Worship -street Police-court, and sentenced to 3 months' hard labour. He knewthem to be the associates of thieves. A few days since Fitz wit liam and two others jumped out of a Black wall omnibus, and ran away without paying the fare. Directly after wards a gentleman in the omnibus complained he had lost his watch. The prisoner Fitzwilliam was afterwards captured, but the gentleman's watch was not recovered, and he was dismissed. William Barry, 77 H, was present several months ago when Reynolds was convicted. Inspector Weakford, H division, saw Reynolds in custody three weeks ago, in company with two females, on a charge of picking pockets. Several officers knew Thomas to be the constant associate of thieves. The prisoners, in defence, said they went to the chapel to hear a sermon, not to commit felonies, and the police could nut take them into custody for going into the chapel while it was raining. Mr. Selfe—But you are in custody ; and sentenced Fitzwilliam to three months', Reynolds to two months', and Thomas to one month's, imprisonment with hard labour. SOUTHWARK. ROBBING CHILDREN.—COMMITTAL or AN EXPERT THIEF.—Emma Smith, a young female, well known to the police as an expert thief, of light complexion, and weak eyes, was brought up for final examination, charged with robbing a number of young children of their clothing. The Court was densely crowded with parents and their children to identify the prisoner TI ere were no less than thirty cases against her, but only three were entered into. John Meek, 48 N, said that on Monday afternoon last he was on duty near the Blind School in the Lon don-road, when he saw the prisoner leading two yourg o'lildren along the Lambeth-road Having some susp - cion as to her intention he watched her, and saw he MARKET NEWS.—(This D ay.)

TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK. NAME OF RAILWAY. Receipts. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. Yesterday, a meeting for the despatch of a very full general paper of ordinary business was held in the Coun cil•chamber, Guildhall ; Mr. Thwaites, the president, in the chair. The chief-engineer, Mr. Bazalgette, presented about five-and twenty reports in reference to complaints, memorials, and applications on the subject of sewerage. The majority of these reports presented no features of general interest, and were disposed of without much discussion. The engineer reported, inter alia, that he had received a letter from the clerk to the vestry of Ber mondsey, calling attention to the foul condition of St. Saviour's Dock and the discharge of sewerage into it. In reference to this, Mr. Bazalgette stated that the sewer which had formerly discharged its contents into the dock had recently been diverted, and that the only remedy that would now thoroughly free the dock would be either main drainage or the construction of tile Thames embankment. Mr. DREW remarked that if the vestry of Bermondsey had to wait for effectual relief until either of the works specified were carried out, he feared that they would have to wait until they—the members of the board— were all dead. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Oa the recommendation of the engineer, the board agreed to pay over 4001. to Mr. G. Axton upon his covering over a portion of the Stamford brook sewer, which work, it properly executed, would amount, in the opinion of the officer, to 1,0001. I❑ reference to a complaint from the Seaman's Hos pital Society of the discharge of offensive matter in the river at Deptford Creek, near the Dreadnought Ship, a report was read from the Engineer, from which it ap peared that the nuisance most probably arose from the sewer of the adjoining gas works. . . A memorial was some time since received from the inhabitants of Elanover-square, Clapham•road, request ing the board to arch over a portion of the Effra sewer, in that locality. Upon this Mr. TURNER said he thought an answer ought to be returned to the memorialists, stating that their applica tion could not be granted, and informing them, at the same time, that the board had acceded to a similar peti tion from another quarter only on the parties themselves undertaking to pay the cost. A long discussion took place upon the proposition of the chief engineer, to construct 2,600 feet of main brick sewer in Kensington, at a cost of 3,5001. The recom mendation was based upon the complaint of Mr. Dolman and others, of the flooding of houses by the insufficiency of the sewer in Pembroke-road, Kensington. Several members thought that the board ought not to decide upon sanctioning so large an expenditure, when an understar.ding had been come to among the members that no large work should be undertaken before Octo ber. Mr. LESLIE more especially opposed any immediate action, on the ground that the great question of pipe and brick sewers was involved in this matter, and that the board ought not to proceed to construct so costly a brick sewer without a full inquiry into the cause of the failure of the old main pipe sewer. _ _ Eventually the further consideration of the report was p istponed for a fortnight. ------ THE REPORT ON THE MAIN DRAINAGE. The PRESIDENT stated that the engineer hoped to be able to bring up his report on the main drainage on the 26th inst., and thus enable members to have the report in their possession a fortnight before the day appointed for its discussion. (Hear, hear.) The board then adjourned. Advices from Valparaiso mention the failur3 of the firm of Mickle and Co. ; liabilities 400,000 dols. The partner of Mr. Mickle was so distressed that he com mitted suicide in prison. BANK OF FRANCE.—The returns of the Bank of France for the past month are discouraging. Noiwith stsnding tho extraordinary expenditure of 60,0001. for premiums on bullion, the total stock has experienced a alminuti in of 460.0001., and now stands at 9,400,0001. The recovery of 620,0001. shown in the last retuin from the loss in the previous, month of 2,000,000/., and which wss obtained at a cost of 46,0001. for premiums, is there fore rapidly disappearing, although the efforts to Fuoply the drain have been greater than ever. The only favour• able feature of the present return is that, instead of showing, as has sometimes been the case, an increaae of circulation in the face of declining means, it exhibits a large cont rac ti on under that head, as well as in dis counts and loans. Thus there is a diminution of 757,0001. in the notes issued, 910,0001. in the discounts, 456,000/, in the advance on stocks, and 70,0001. in the advances on railway shares. This withdrawal of ac commodation has, of course, affected the deposits, which show a reduction of 1,860,000/. In till Treasury ba. lances there is an increase of 667,0001. 1856. 1855.

Pazzoletto was struck out of all his Doncaster engager ments yesterday (Friday) at 9 o'clock a.m. THE CESAREWITCH AND CAMERIDGESHIRE STAKES. We have been requested to remind owners and train. ers of horses that the acceptances for the Cesarewitch and the declarations of forftit fur the Cambridgeshire must be made to the Messrs. Weatherby, in Lcndon, on or before Tuesday next. It is unnecessary to signify non -acceptance for the Cesare witch Stakes, which being a free handicap only those horses will be left in whose owners specially accept by the time fixed. For the Cam. bridgeshire Stakes all horses w hich are not ordered to be struck out by the time prescribed will be left in. DONCASTER RACES. DONCASTER, Friday Night.

Thispopular tradesmen's club intends winding its sea son up with two matches, making four of this season, which is an unusually large number, and displays the rising prosperity of the club. All interests, as will be seen below, have been studied—one having as great a chance as another, and we may, therefore, confidently say that both the races, which are paired-oared ones, will be most capitally contested. The following is a list of the competitors, viz.:— First Race.—Among First a n d Secon d Class Men. Blue.—Messrs. R. Ayckbourne and G. Jones. Red.—Messrs. J. Amor and G. Hirst. Black.—Messrs. C. Lockett and R. Bains. White.—Messrs. T. Day and R. Miller. All the above are very evenly matched-; but, if there is any advantage, Mr. Robert Bains (the celebrated rower) an d his partner have got it. Second Race. —Among Tnird and Fourth Class Men. Red.—Messrs. Woodbridge and J. Borrows. White.—Messrs W. Mitts, jun., and E. Tuttle. Blue.—Messrs. R. Whittaker and R. Judham. Yellow.—Messrs. W. Mills, sen., and F. Knight. Green.—Messrs. F. Miller and C. Glenister. As the distribution is so capital, we may also safely say that this will be a good race. The matches are for silver cups, and will be started respectively at three and four o'clock on Thursday the 25th inst., the distance being from Battersea to Lrmbeth Palace. Mr. Morton, of th• Cants' bury Hall, has, with his usual liberality, given Si. towards the prizes. GROUND TO LET. 111 an account of a bankrupt's final examination, recently published, it appears the petitioning cre ditor, who was the mortgagee of nearly all the bankrupt's property, had agreed to lease some land to the bankrupt, had induced him to expend 4,0001. of his own money on it, to get largely into debt in covering the land, and had proposed to the bank rupt to assign the whole of his property to him, and then to go through the Bankruptcy Court, promising him, after he should have obtained his certificate to give him " 1,000/. to begin again" with. Without going into the truth of this matterf it would be a great benefit to the building trade if you would warn them against such machinations, as it is well known there are many who press upon poor and industrious builders, and serve them in the same way. The plan adopted by these worthies is to take a large 'plot of land, and then underlet it, not by advertising it, but by getting an agent for building materials to " look up" customers at a premium of from 11. to 31. per plot. He meets with an industrious man o has been a few years in business, and has hitherto paid his way and is in tolerably good credit ; and as a great secret to the victim, tells him a friend of his has some very eligible land to let, and that he (the agent) will iniradme him ; that he can get him a couple of houses to build at a fair price if he will take ground for six ; and that his (the agent's) friend will advance from 751. to 801. per cen•. on the buildings, which will be sufficielt to finisu them, as he (the agent) is in a position to get his (the builder's) materials for him at a cheap market—will be happy to serve him in that or any other way, and will make no charge for his services ; but if he (the builder) can come to terms with his friend, and can afford A few pounds out of so good a thing, he will " of course" take it. This is often paid on the signing of the agreement, the usual fee being Si. from the poor builder, and 1/. per house from the landlord. The builder begins his operations, and if able to finish the first pair, and let them, the landlord advances on the leases, and so keeps on until all his (the builder's) money and credit are exhausted, and then advises him, through the agent or by himself, to go to the Bankruptcy Court, with a promise to make it all right when he has passed through the ordeal. If all the builders who have passed through the court for the last ten or fifteen years dared to make it known, three-fourths of them would ac knowledge the truth of these statements.—ONE OF THE VICTIPLISED.—Tht Builder. GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. GLOUCESTER, Friday.—Last night's concert at the Shire Hall was crowded by a most fashionable and dis- tinguished company. There was lull choral service at the cathedral again last night, and to-day at 8 o'clock a.m. There was a general rush this morning to listen to the "Messiah" of Handel. Not only was the whole area of the spacious nave of the cathedral filled, but numbers 'gag to find sitting room in the choir, where the singers were invisible. The number of tickets sold to-day was 2,770. Mr. Sims Reeves open'ed this sublime oratorio in a most commandirg and impressive style. The difficult song, " Thus saith the Lord," was allotted to Mr. Thomas, who impressed the audience most favourably. Mrs. Lockoy's fine voice told with great effect in "0 thou that teflest," but, unfortunately, there was a detrac- tion at the commencement mused by an omission in her copy. Madame Novel!o's singing it is quite superfluous to praise. The performance of the oratorio was brought to an end about half•past four, at h four hundred of people were collected at the College-green to witness the depar ture of the visitors of the cathedral for the last time. The collection at the doors of the cathedral to-day in aid of the charity amounted to 3191. ss. 81. The amount col lected at the cathedral doors will be increased by further donations yet to be received, and it will, no doubt, ex ceed the amount collected last year. It is also pretty certain that there will be a surplus of receipts f6r sale of tickets, which will, of course, be devoted to the charity. There is a grand full-dress ball this evening at' the Shire The Limerick and Ennis Railway directory met on Tuesday ; Lord Inchiquin in the chair. The works for the construction of this important Hue will be rc•xlm menced immediately. Mr. Dargan was present at Ilse meeting, and has evinced a lively interest in tbe-pros perity of the . _ The Worcester Chronicle says : " The youthful Earl of Coventry has been spending the first days of Septem ber at Croome. His lordship promises to be an excellent shot. On Monday his lordship, accompanied by Lord Vaughan, son of the Earl of Lisburne, with Capt. Co ventry and Mr. W. Herbert, were shooting at Hanbury."
