It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of Incoasiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that thet'e is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot atmly a cure.

The dates are those already given in our telegraphic deApatch :—Bombay, April 2; Calcuita, March 21 Hong Kong, March 15 ; Singapore, March 23; and Sarawak (Borneo), March 19. CHINA. We have received our despatches from Hong Kong to March 15. The particulars of many im porta'it occurrence 3 are given at length below. The fullowing extract from the China Mail of the above mentioned date reprdsents the general state of af fairs at Hong Kong when the mail left : . . " Affairs in the Canton river have been very quiet for some time past.. The imperialist junks are in great force. In the entrance to Fatahan Creek an attempt was made to dislodge them by the En counter, 'small steamers, and boats of the squadron, on Fen. 28, which failed, the Encounter not being able to get within 2,700 yards of the nearest junks, her bow pivot gun alone being able to reach them. The steamers Hong Kong ani Forbes were a few hundred yards in advance, and kept up a hot fire . with admirable precision, by which 3 of the junks were silenced.. Had the boats advanced and at tacked them at close quarters, confusion and . panic would haVe ensued on the part of the ' braves,' and the destruction'of the junks would have been in evitable. No doubt there would have been much loss of life in the boats from the first volley, as all the broadside guns were depressed. The firing was kept up on both sides for upwards of two hours, when, as if by mutual consent, there was a cessa-, tirdi. of hostilities.' The shots from thejunk reached the Encounter and cut away some of her rigging dropping-islentifully around the boats, but fortu natel; without inflicting any damage on the crews. The Chinese are no - iv fortifying the approaches w Fatshan and sinking barriers. "The Cantonese have not as yet conamencei re building the suburbs or forts. They have contented themselves by digging in salt into the soil of the, Factory gardens, and making a few - Si:nail batteries ou the left bank of the river below the ruins of the French Folly. Not a boat is to be seen in Elliot Passage, being exposed to the guns of Encounter, Comus, Acorn, Elk, and Barracouta. Whampoa is still in a deserted state. H.M.S. Sybille, Sampson, and Hong Kong are at Second Bar, Nankin still at anchor off Wantung Forts. The Nankin's crew have been busily employed in destroying the South Fort, and this, the main branch of the river to Canton, is in the possession of Sir M. Seymour. The passage boats now ply the Broadway Passage, Macao river, and Hyacinth Creek ; turning to the right if for Can on by bat passage, or to the left if ‘for Fat shan, which is now a place of considerable import ance. _ "An attack, and the burning of some Chinese men-of-warjunks at Toong Choong, by the.steamers Auckland and Eaglet, with - the loss of only one man belonging to the Auckland, after a few hour& engagement, has giveri us considerable satisfaction, the more so, as being a set-off against the successful capture of the Queen steamer ; and we trust that due rewards will be allotted to Mr. Ellis, com manding the Eaglet, and Lieutenants Davis and De Benin, of the Auckland, for their gallant conduct in that affair. " Our brave old Admiral Sir Michael, as usual, is always on the qui vise ; coustautly on the river be tween this place and Canton, inspecting, instruct ing, and occasionally attacking ; while our notable Governor, Sir John Bowring, quietly takes his daily siesta, resting upon the laurels he has acquired from his first active debut in London as managing com mittee-man of the , Greek loan, down to the time of his Kowloon deportation here, some short time sinec. "It is a most absurd thing to imagine, and a great error committed by the home government to sup pose, that a literary man of Sir John's stamp and calibre can ever be the proper ruler of a military colony, and we think we express the sentiments of the largest portion of Hong Kong, when we say that the authorities at home would be conferrint an hie:fineable boon upon us by ordering his recall. Talent he has to a certain extent, and of a certain order ; but alas I for the application." In the same paper we read : Sir M. Seymour arrived at the Stake Barrier in the Barracouta on Saturday, the 7th ult., and shifted his flag to the Niger, which, with the Acorn and Coromandel, was at anchor belew the barrier. A few days previous the " Braves" made another at temvt to annihilate the Comas, by means of a mon• ster gun, which they had placed on board Dr. Ryder's chop which they had taken from Wham poa. Thsy towed her by the Elliot passage to within 200 Yards of the Comas, and fired the gun, which was over-charged, and recoiling with much force fell from its carriage right through the chop the boats of the Comus took her in tow in a sinking state. She soon after filled and went down, form ing a considerable obstacle to the progress of junks through the creek. The Hornet hed a sharp encounter with a large body of war junks in the Cambridge Reach on the evening of Tuesday the 10th ult. They were drawn up in two creeks on the left bank of the river, and well prepared to give battle, but they changed their intention. After a few broadsides from the Hornet —which caused them to " while" as fast as oars,, sails, and poles could make them, with the additional stimulus of shot and shell—Capt. Forsyth captured. one large junk and sunk two others. The one seized contains upwards of a dozen guns varying in calibre from 6 to 24 pounders. The Hornet returned to the admiral with the Barracouta on the 11th, the latter ship having been sent down to render assistance to the Hornet. The Macao Fort is now very strong, having a large ar mament and being well garrisoned. On the 14th ult. it was agreed to send the char tered steamer Eaglet and the Hon. Company's steamer Auckland to Toong-chung, where it was known that several heavily armed mandarin junks were lying. The place is a maval station, and the junk, under command of an admiral,. had been lying there some time, their pTesencenat that spot being well known to the Hong Kong authorities for some time past. About two p.m. of Sunday the Auckland and Eaglet steamed straight for Toong- chung Bay. As the water was known tco'shoal in the bay,, commencing from the western point of Chu-100-cock island andrunnieg south and westerly to a projecting point in . Lantoa, the Eaglet was ordered to go ahead sounding, until she got into three fathoms, - when she was to hoist No. 3 pen nant. Having felt her way into the required sound- . ing, she ran on until she was in about eight feet of water, which brought her within the range of five .heavily . armed junks, when she anchored, and at once opened fire on them. In about five minutes. the junl.s and Eire battelies surrounding the bay-re plied. After about a quart rof an beitr's firing, H. Ellis, master, in command of the Eaglet, got his two boats out, hoping that the Auckland's boats . vould'aleo be ready to shove off in support of him. Uufortunately.the Auckland had . got aground and was not prepared-to send her boats, and the fire. of, the junks en the two boats was so hot, the water' being dashed in the mesa's faces by the grape and round: shot, to which the beats, having no guns, could make no reply, that it was deemed best to return and wait for the assistance of the s boaas of the Auckland. After gettinion board, the 'Eaglet resumed her firs, as did the Auckland, the latter vessel firing over the Eaglet at the forts and junks. The latter vessel was hit several times, but no lives were lost. After three quarters of an hour's firing, the aenmunition of the Eaglet, gave out, and wi h only a few rounds in her magazine the-anchor was lesesesurreautl - the b tat i stekideout, -keeping up hnr fi 'e, to the Auckland. The cause of that steamer not sending boats was then ascertained ;she was hard and fait aground. As, however, night was approach ing no time was to be lost, the boats ware got out a'id manned.. A pinnace, two cutters, and the gig of the 'Auckland, ,and the gig and jolly boat of the E 'Oa, were taken in tow by. the latter steamer, which ag an ran iu towards the town. The boats were cast off and pulled towards the junks, which kept up a very hot fire, mortally wounding one, and two severely. The fire was replied to by the b ats until they were half-a-dozen lengths froth' the enemy ; a cheer from them then sent all the Chinese out of .their vessels, and not a.soul remained .to oppose the boats taking possession. The junks were found to be aground, and their starboard guns, pointing to the laud, were manned by the boats' crews and turned on' the forts, the town, and the flying enemy. After a short :time the boats re men tied, and pushed for the nearest fort to the west of the town. On ap et-ow:ling, it was found to be des:ated ; the guns, thirty in number, were spiked, ant the house and sheds in the enclosure set fire to. It was now so dark that it was thought imprudent to tike the men against the other forts, which were situated at .about.a mile distant. They therefore embarked, and pulled for the junks, which were set on fire. Although this was done with as much pre caution as possible, that the boa's might have time to pull off before the magazines exploded, it unfor tunately happened that the last fired bad some ready communication with the magazine, and as Mr. Ellis and Lieutenant De Belin of the Auckland were descending the side into their boats, after having seen the junk well on' fire, the magazine exploded. The- two officers were thrown over the boat some-distance, .and were picked up stunned and slightly, bruised ; the men in the boat also suf fered, • three of them having .been more or less' wounded. The boats and the Eaglet then ran out to the Auckland, and the two steamers lay together until the morning, when it was seen that Ise euuks were burnt down to-the water's edge. A boat came off early in the morning with a peace offering of two bullOcks and some pigs, and a-letter fr. 0.0 the elders, begging the men - of war to spare their town. As the admiral had ordered that the steamers should be back in Hong-:Kong the previous evening, it was thought be'st that the Eaglet should return at once to take 'in coal and ammunition, and send some assistance to get the Auckland off. Having taken Mr. Caldwell on beard, the Eaglet started for Hong Kong. In the Cup-suy-moon a large boat fil!ed with men and heavily armed was observed at anchor. Mr. Caldwell pronounced her to be a passage boat, which it was unnecessary to meddle with. As the Eaglet passed down the har bour with the Chinese admiral's flag flying at the fore, she was lustily cheered by the merchant ve - ssels. Having reported the state of affairs, to the ad miral, he resolved to send the Niger to get the Auckland off, but with instructions to leave Toon ehung alone, as no danger was to be apprehended from that place after the destruction of the fleet. The Niger got under weigh about one o'clock, and, steaming through the Throat Crates, met the Auck land alining in ; she then saw the boat under sail which the Eaglet lsal: pas-ed th it morning ; it was hailed by the Chinese pilot to lower her sails and helve to. No reply being given, a few musket shots were fired at it with as little effect. On' this a gun vas fired threitigh the boar, whicti had the effect of bringing is to, when it was found that one man had been killed (cut in two by the shot) and 3 wonnded. After the latter were examined by the surgeon of the Niger they were reurned on board. Tee boat was , found to be what we have already stated—a " pas senger boat.' From the Calcutta the two steamers were at once despatched to pick up a portion of the pirate fleet, which it had been discovered were on the -other tide of Chung-yue, better known as " Pirates' Island," the next island to Stotaetutteee. The Auckland went round to the west and the Niger to the east of the island, and between them they hemmed in eight junks. The Auckland seems to have at once gone at them, and the crews of three junks took to the land, where they were fol lowed by the small armed men, who killed and wounded several, and took a prisoner: The same dodge was tried on by the other boats with the Niger as was done with Commodore Armstrong, a Chinese coming on board dressed up in great style to say that the junks were rebels. Mr. Caldwell, who was on beard, Was not Commodore Armstrong, and the Chinese commander was informed he was a prisoner as a piiate. As before stated, the Gaol brigade. behaved with great courage, and therefore, deserve some remis sion of their sentences. The following are the casualties Aleman 0. S. • Severely wounded—W. Harrison, A.B. J. Sul livan, 0. S. Slightly wounded—Lieut. D'Belin ; D. Johnson, A. B. ; H. Smith, A. B. ; P. Sykes, 0. S. The above belong to the Auckland ; in addition, Mr. T. H. Ellis, commanding E•aglet, was slightly wounded when blown from the junk. • The storehouse of Mr. Duddell, the government, controctor, has been burnt down, with the destruc tion of some 700 barrels of flour, a particularly in convenient circumstance at 'the present time, and entailing a most serious loss upon that gentleman. A guard after the fire was placed over the ruins, which we believe had been refused previous to the catastrophe ; Mr. Duddell wa.e.ly thinking that, as purveyor of bread to the troops, arc., and in the face of the poisoning case, he was entitled to some pro tection from her Majesty's authorities. . SEIZURE OF THE STEAMER QUEEN, AND MURDER ,OF SEVERAL PASSENGERS. (From the Chita Mail of Feb. 26.) . Another river steainer, the Queen, has fallen a prey to the Chinese passengers and crew, through the culpable negligence of the owners andi captain —the former in not having her properly manned and officered, the latter in not adopting the neces sary' precautions against such an occurrence. The captain ha., indeed, paid the penalty with hig life, but at the same time has sacrificed as well the lives of his passengers, and a valuable cargo entrusted to his care. ,There is no doubt whatever that a very little c -infirm would have prevented the catastrophe, for at,the time the Queen was brought bAck by the Willamette, a week or two ago, and since, Captain Wynn has been warned of the danger impending over him, and that there could he no doubt what ever of complicity on the part of his crew in a pro jected attempt to take the steamer. The Queen left this harbour for Macao on Mon day at noon, and had arrived by 3 o'clock off the south-west end of Tai-yu-shan (Lantao), when Cap tain Wynn, with his engineer, and Mr. Weir, also an. engineer, sat down to dinner, Mr. Osmond Cleverly, a passenger, being likewise in the cabin. The upper deck was deserted except by the steersman, and the armschest kept there was consequoutly at the disposal of the Chinese, who did not fail to avail themselves of its contents. . What became bf the steersman is ' not known, but the steamer's gangway gun was turned aft, and, with the muskets, ° was discharged into the cabin. Mr. Cleverly has his thighbone fractured by a grapeshot ; but though then se verely wounded, ho was not entirely disabled, so that with his revolver he managed to shoot two of his assailants ; then, having bound up his leg, he threw a chair overboard, and took to the water, supporting himself upon the chair until picked up by a _lorcha close by, and: in which he was taken to Macao. The following note by a correspondent give 4 a pretty full, and, we believe, accurate account-of the affair On Monday, the 231, as the Queen, steamer. was on her way from hence t , ) Macao, - aid when the efficers and European passengers were at tiffin, the Chinese pasaen gers, with the crew, -amounting in all to about thirty five, turned -one of the cannon eleced in the gang wae .into the_cabin door and fired its contents (grapeshot) among the Europeans there, consisting of the captain and engineer ; Mr. Cleverly, late marine surveyor of Whampoa and Canton ; Mr. Weir, late chief engineer to the Sir Charles Forbes ; and also t So or three Portu guese with their wives. The captain received a blow. on the head, and immediately jumped overboard. His fate is unknown.. The two engineers ..vould not fight, and were kill-d by the Chinamen ; the Portuguese hid them. selves :under the table.: Mr. Cleserly's escape, arid the indomitable courage and perseverance' he displayed, t' almost beyond t elief..* His thigh-hone was broken by a grapeshot from, the first discharge of' the cannon ; not withstanding which he kept the whole bard of savages at bay with a revolver for about twenty minutes, and shot twhor three of them when they tried to enter the after cabin, where be was. When, he had no further means of resistance he threw a bamboo chair from the cabin window,-stripped off his clothes, and jumped into the water, where he remained for an hour-anti-a-half, and was picked up a lorcha bound to Nlaetao, to which pl,ce he was taken ; and though be may probably 1 iSe his leg. it is hoped tie life will be saved. The Spanish steamer Magallanes left Macao about 7 or 8 o'clock the following morning, in seerch of the nu fortunate Queen. She toek a peep into Cum-singonoon, and a turn round the north end of Lanten, and returned to Macao about three o'clock without having seen any thing. Not likely that she would ; hut I suppose the officers had to be back in time for the evening's mas querade, and - therefore could not spare leisure for a e furtpeepe e tarch. It is to be hoped that the Auckland's seareT7ffir — be mere feettrhotteteeeeShe444l, . l i( 4 -4.- lel ttife yet, having been absent now two days. The Queen bad on ,board about 120 chests of opium, besides other cargo ; 37'chests more were to have been sent from the . John Adams, but the delivery order. reached Captain Roper so late, that by the' time the opium was put into the - boat the Queen .was under weigh. , The steamer has been taken to Chun-Chifne, and is there at anchor, surrounded by a fleet 'of fifty-seven mandarin junks; her female passengers were reported tO aliVe and well. • Several 'respectable Chinese were also passengers in her, and the rumour of some of A-tumor's pe .Ple being concerned in the capture is entirely imagi nary—at all events. the most energetic inquiries on the thalject have been unable to trace the origin•of the rep pit. P.S. As we are going to press, a note from a friend in Macao has reached us. It is as fol lows : Mi. Cle . verly is getting along favourably thus far, and there is hope that he wilt not have to submit to ampu tation. Ile was sitting alone on the upper deck, while the other passengers, all the Portuguese, were at dinner, when a Chinese passenger cams up and asked biro why he did not also go down to dinner, and recommended him to do so. Soon after he went_ towards the cabin, at which time there was not an officer of the vessel any where on deck. Twelve er fifteen first-clase Chinese passengers had come on' board at starting, and there were several other natives, over none of whom alas there the least supervision, nor WAR a cautionary guard placed from the time of starting. The loaded muskets were in the chest on the tipper deck, and were all seized by the Chinese, who then descended Rear the wheel-house, and began to drive the others aft. They also fired from the above into the cabin, where the captain and passengers were at table, while some remained on the top, and kept every passage forward closed. Captain Wynn and Mr. Cleverly, stood near the, door, and the latter shot two Chinese. The captain was wounded in :the head and jumped ,overboard, followed by,Mr. Cleverly, whose thigh-bone bad been shattered by a ball—both of them convinced that further resistance to the Chinese was useless. Three others were also then in the water, the steamer being near the south-western end of Lenten. After remaining about two hours in the water, Mr. Cleverly managed•to attract the notice of the crew of a lorcha, who lowered a boat and picked him up, and on reaching the lorcha, hoisted the beat up to the davits, from which pesition he managed to haul himself over. the taffrail and get do sn into,the cabin, suffering great pain from his wound all the time., When he was piCked up, he saw nothiog of Captain Wynn or of the Chinese who had jumped over board ; soree . ef thetn.may have reached land. The cap tain and mate of the lorcha treated him kindly, and he reached. Macao about 7 p.m. ; and in less than: 3 hours after the rescue was carried up to his own house. The Queen had 150 (1120) chests of opium on board, and it is reported that a passenger recently arrived from California bad a quantity of gold dust with hint. Ido not learn bow many Chinese passengers were on board besides the scoundrels, but with them it is supposed the firemen were in league to get the property. Tht re was the most culpable carelessness,. I am told, tivt n to leav ing the gun-chest unlocked, while the guns inside were loaded and the caps on. The Queen was seen passing north of Cum-sing-moon, bound westerly, and has probably gone to Kenkong or Fatihan, but no further tidings have been heard of her. COLLISION BETWEEN THE CHINESE AND ItIISSIANS. (Front the China Mail) The Peking Gazette of the 22d. November last contains a notice of collision between the Russians of Omsk and the people of Tarbagttai, or Tashtava, the most distant portion of the Chinese empire in contact with the Siberian frontier. The large province of Ili, at the eastern extremity of what the maps call Independent Tartary, is divided into two parts, Ili Proper, t the south, and Tarhagatai, to the north. The latter is the country of portions of the three tribes of Elassack, Eluth, and Chahar, and also of certain Chinese deicendants of some hundreds of fa.milies carried thither in the middle of last century to form a mi litary colony. From a memorial of Chalafautai, the Chinese resident Minister, published in the above-men tioned Gazette, it would appear that the Russians (throughout styled barbarians) have frequently had occasion to drive back their ne:glibouts, who per sist in crossing the frontier to dig for gold. This has produced discontent, and some Chinese and Mahometans,* so treated, avenged themselves by firing a Russian barn, or warehouse, one or more buildings. On being seized by the. Chinese authorities, they defended themselves by a counter allegation of murder against the Rus sians. This was found to be without any pr of, and they were sentenced, principals and acces- Stades, - to what the Resident insists was a sufficient punishment. His decision h td, however, been revised at Peking, the Superior Courts assuming, from the evidence, that the delinquents had burned dwelling-houses as well as magazines. His memo rial is to disprove this, and Co defend the original sentence, on the ground that it imposes a penalty legally commensurate with the oflence, no intent being proved to do bodily harm ; also that it serves the two great ends of maintaining the dignity of the state and assuring the peace of the frontier. He lays stress withal on the fact that when the barba rian (Russian) commissioner came to Ili, in 1851, " to discuss regulations of trade," he, the commis sioner, peremptorily refused his convent to a pro position that life should be given for life, in case a Chinese were killed by a Russian. The Resident's static'n at Sui-t sing, otherwise Tuguchuck or TarbagatS, is perhaps 2,000 miles from Pekin. His report.. was sent off on the 191 h May, and on the 16th July, that is in 58 days, a note from the Great Council reached him, to the effect that the Emperor would further signify his pleasure concerning the. cave. The Board of Punishments' minute eventually arrived on the 26th September. • THE SLAUGHTER , AT SARA.WAK. (From, the Straits Vines of March 21.) On Tuesday last we lamed an Extra givitig an outline of the recent outrage 3 committed by the Chinese at Sarawak, pat ticulara of which were brought from that place by the schooner Good Luck, Which sailed on the 21st ull imo and arrived on the 10th instant. Although rut nours hal been current that the Kungsi contemplatei lre&sting the authority of the local government, tb latter appear to have treated the matter with indifTe rence. Soddenly how ever, a large body numbering about 2011 Chinese, came down the river, on and lc efore the 17th Febru ary, and at midnight commen:;:lld a most determined at tack on the Government peopa' e and property. They first secured possession of the wo fort', one below aod the other above the town of,' Kuehn' (the seat of -Rajah Brooke's authority) , whi, were only g,ar risoned by 12 men, and having' furnished them selVes with all the arms and smut. dtion in the foits, they proceeded to the work of cle4ruction upon which they had ventured. This 17as at midnight, when all were asleep. One party "nada an attack on the residence of Sir James Brooke, w hilst the remainder assaulted the Houses of gr. - Crook•ak, also a Govern of air. the magistrate,. and Mr. Middleton, previous Sir James ment official. For some days Brooke was unwell, and was about iazt proceed to Sitnunjang, on the Sadong river (the seat of the gentleman, Borneo Company's operations),, for tango On the night in question his servant was sleeping in an adjoinibg room, and under the s ame roof was residing a young and very promi-ing: The surprise named Nicolets, who had joined the ittlaws circle as a gut st within the last 12 months. and consternation Was so great, ancithe meaeures of the attacking party so well organised, that all communication between the different European members of the community was impossible. While the Chinese att tcked the front of the house, Sir J. Broke succeeded in effecting an extraordinary escape ;he passed down the bath-room and swam across a creek near his house, by which means he succeeded in gaining the Malay village ; thither also others of the European residents happily reached shert'y afterwards. The assailants fired into Sir J. Broote's residence, killed Mr. Nicolets (whose body was buried in the ruins), plundered the place of everythitig of value in their es intuition, and then. set fire t ) the building, ruthlessly destroying Sir James Brooke's excel'ent library and the valuable collect'ons of his whole life—a loss which frien , l or foe muss equally regret. At the hi of Mr. Crookshank the assailants met with a firm: sistance, but that gentleman was over pewered ; he defended his amiable and recently married lady wi h the utmost gallantry. Mrs. Cm &shank was brutally wounded before his eyes, and dragged away wh-n he was no ,longer able to &fend her. Mrs. Crookshank was believed to have been kille I, hut happily next morning she was found in the jungle. Her wounded body was co vered with cocoa-nut leaves. .She was removed to the -Mission-house, where, under the skilful treat ment of the Bishop, the Rieht Rev. Dr. M`Dou gsll, she was at the date of the latest advices doing well. Mr: Crookshank, after passing the night in the jungle, by some means reached the Mission house' next morning in an almost insensible state. The house' of Mr. Middleton (also in the service of Sir J. Brooke) was attacked ; his house was fired, anal tWo of -his children unhappily perished in the flames. Mr. Wellington, a metallurgist, in the VetirviEe --- or the Borneo .Company, a guess of Mr c e Middle' on's was killed and his head cut off, pro bably under the mistaken supposition that he &so was in the service of the Sarawak government, as the head was given up on the fellowing day. The government treisury was plundered of everything it contained, which we regret to hear was consider able ; nearly every European had placed his money there as the most secure place. About 10,000 dols. belonging to the Borneo Company was carried off. In the course of a few hours a lar g e amount of go vernment property was destroyed. . Next day the Chinese Kungsi stated that they had no hostile intentions against any one but per sons connected with the government ; indeed they expressed a wish that Bishop M'Dougall.and Messrs Ruppell and Helms should act as their chieftains, 'whilst they unreservedly declared their determi nation to destroy Sir James Brooke and every one in his service. During the day negotiations were opened with the Chinese, and it was arran g ed that they should depart, unmolested by the Malays, with the plunder they had obtained; at 4 p.m. they started up the river in their boats. The immediate cause of this frightful attempt to destroy the whole -of the Government European authorities at Sarawak is stated. to be the stringent measures which Sir Jas. Brooke has found it expe dient to adoPtto prevent opium smuggling. Some heavy flues had been levied on the smugglers, the amount being paid by the Kungsi ; and latterly some of the offenders had been imprisoned. But these seem scarcely sufficient to account for such ruthless slaughter and destruction, not sparing age or sex. Sir Jas. Brooke is stated to regard the affair as trifling and soon to be retrieved. The Government gunboats and the Malays were in eager pursuit of the Chinese, and if the latter are overtaken the re tribution will doubtless be severe. The Malays everywhere expressed their confidence in ST Jas. Brooke. The arrival of the steamer Sir James Brooke, belonging to the Borneo Company, was anxiously looked for, and'as that vessel left this on the 21st ult., she would most likely reach Sarawak on the 24th The European _ladies had, we hear, quitted for the mouth of the river, where they would he safe under the protection of the Malays. On the arrival, of the news here the Singapore agents of Sir 'J. Brooke and the Borneo Company lost no time in chartering the schooner Walerlily, and loading her with arms and ammunition, as also some volunteers for service. The steamer Inflexi ble, which sailed for Hong Kong, took the Wa'er lily and gunboat in tow, and we hear that t' e Star ling will took in at Sarawak, on her way to China. Sir James Brooke, by latest, advice, had departed for Simunjang, on the Sadong, the scene of the Borneo Company's operations, and where a large number of coolie s are employed, with the hope, no doubt, that his presence would prevent any ris ing on the part of the coolies in that quarter. In our hurried Extra of Tuesday last we stated that the Chinese authors of the above sad outrage were refugees from Sambas ; in this particular we were in error. The Kungsi comprises the Chinese settlers Sir James Brooke found at Sarawak on his arrival there. The formidable character of these Chinese is given in Mundy's first volume, p. 289 et sequel, an I to resist their then demands Sir Jes. Brooke (p. 294) says he was prepared to push the affair to extremity "if they did not yield to the terms demanded," whilst he prophetically observes, " I look fortvard to future trouble in that quarter, but by just government and fair trade they may be brought to good temper, and at any rate the chances are we shall strengthen in a greater proportion than they will be able to do." Tue recent outrage has clearly shown that the strengthening means have been overlooked, with a fearful result too. ( Prom the Straits Times of March 23.) The 13ritish steamer Sir James Brooke, belonging to the Borneo Company, ar ived at Singapore yes terday (Sunday), having left Sarawak on the 19th inst., by which opportunity we have received late and important news, which we hasten to lay before our readers: Our latest advices by the steamer Good Luck were to the 20th Feb., at which date Sir James Brooke had retired to Simunjang, on the Sadong river, the head-quarters of the Borneo Company's operations. Messrs. Crookshank, Crymble, Steel, and Penty accompanied the Rajah to Simunjang ; the objectof the Rajah's visit to that quarter being, as we now learn, to collect forces in the neighbour ing rivers, with the view of returning to Sarawak. We previously announced that the Chinese Ktingisi people (the insurgents) bad evacuated the town of Knehin, and retired up country, and that the Ma lays were preparing to start in pursuit. We,now continue the narrative of events. - It appears that on Sunday, Feb. 22, Sir James Brooke received intelligence of the retirement of the Chinese, whereupon he returned from the Saelong to the Sarawak river, but before be could land the Chinese Kungi had a second time ventured down the river in great force (between 500 and 600), anti with feelings whetted , , a s it were,, b y their late partial success, and yet chagrined at their f Attire to overturn the Rajah's authority. The return of the Ch nese with so large a force somewhat surpris d the Raj +h, and compelled-him to retire or venture a collis . on with an inadequate force. In the mean time the Knug-i people availed themselves of the time to commit further depredations on the Govern= went proper y. It now be.ame apparent , that most extensive means were needed to suppress the add Vance of the Kuugsi people, whose object appeared to be to secure for themselves the entire paramount authority, alike indifferent to brute force, base treachery, or the vilest measures. Under these cir cums'ances Sir J. Brooke proceeded to Linga, to s e cure the co-operation of the c hief and the people of that district, but on his wa y the steamer Sir James Brooke, from Singap ore, hove in sight most tirneously ; her arrival was not merely opportufn:, but the site of her ancho ra g e formed the b i as eO l 11 subsequent operations. Sir J. Brooke ,?..rupartny. at once proceeded in the steamer t J - ). c soon succeeded in driving the miscreants out of the town. On inquiry and searc himself agar that the Datoo Bandar was defending nst the Chinese, amid a cluster of prshue The Datoo suc ceeded in recapturing nine sampans (boate)' and one of the Government prairies (vessels) containing • stores, gunpowder, and opium, &c. The body, or main force. of the Chinese, driven from the town, were finally either cut off by the Dyaks, or were starved in the jungle. At the outset about 100 of the Chinese were killed. The warfare msem ed a mode of irregular attack. The Dyaks were let .lowe, who from a large circuit, ba tue-like, drove the Chinese into their fastnesses, accompanied by greal, loss to the retreaters, where they were hemmed in ; in other words, there took place a kind of guerilla warfare of the most harassing character, e rievously thinning the number of the rebels. Still the Chinese were undaunted; from tteir stronghold they ventured an attack in five praline, and com menced ravaging the banks of the river. 'lbis was on the 9th _March. The Datoo Bandar was sta tioned in a single prahu at Tangah Lidah (the junction of two rivers), about 15 miles above Ku chin ; meeting the e Kungsi in their borate, the Datoo, in his single prahu, offered battle, which the Kungsi declined. Thinking this to be an excellent site, the Kungsi landed, and construe ed a stockade, which they armed with feur guns, and garrisoned by about 250 men with muskets, &c. Believing themselves to be secure, the Chinese very foolishly neglected to s ecure their boats, which were c a p tured by their oppouents. Leaving his war prahu near the stock ,ade, the Date() chivalrouely proceeded to Suchin in 4 5 4 6 -4 e z vi vW-4 ' br i 4 1 ;14 a small canoe-boat fir assiaance.

We may remark that the defeated party in the stockade consisted pf picked men ; their prin ci- Rd chiefs were killed in the assault. The effect of this signal attack was complete. A panic seized t) e Kungsi people, which was eigerly availed of ; the Chinese successively fled from Balaida, Siniawan, and Bau. By the night of the 11th March the • • Kungsi people were in lull retreat towards Samba;, closely followed by bands of Ma'ays,_ who avant, themselves of every opportunity to cut off the stragglers. The Chinese retired M, a close body— so close, indeed, that their assailants failed to cawe disorder, and ni,cle ,a desperate -resistance in the presence of their wives and children. 1.1 , :c1 time permitted, to have oriartised a•concen traiped a tack, not an individual woulahave escaped- . As it is, the wretched fugitives are dr iyen into thejingle, wiiere a vast tiumb9r of them Must perish from want and exposure Wore they can rcach a place of security. According to the most moderate estimate at least 1,000 Chinese have been kil el at the various pLices, while all the flourishing settlements of t' e• Chines., (except at Kuchin) have been destroyed. The exact number c,f Chinese who have perished • during the retreat it is imcossiltle to say ; it must be considerablei since ow of a population of 4,000 to 5,000 Chinese belonging to the Kungsi, not more than 2,000 escaped the late retrib4.ort,, women acid children. • Much as we regret letting loo , e the,Dyaks to commit the most savage decitnation or rather di , - srruction of a whole people, we cannot sympathise with the diabolism of the kungsi who, both indi vidually and collectively, have always received at the hands of Sir James Brook Borneo justice—a code regulated by circumstances. The diabolical attempt of the Chinese Kungsi has met with the punishment it deserved; no reasonable being will pity them, however mush they may regret the frightful ,sacrAce,pf, hurnau,life„,gxpeitieuce too sadly proves that at the . 'piesent •ijertod. kin3neilf, - humanity, and forbearance are either misunder stood or but .too lightly appreciated by the Chinese, who think they ought to be dominant for no earthly reason that we can discover, but because they are' cruel and vain. _ _ _ Havin g thus disposed of the leading events fro:ma Sarawak, D th ere are a few matters of both general and local interest which we cannot allow to pass ; the omission would be rather unjust . , inasmuch as the circumstances are fresh in our memories. It appears that on the 27th February, when affairs assumed a rather ugly aspect, Mr. Helms (the agent for the Borneo Company) was despatched to Sambas, to inform the Dutch authorities there how matters stood at Sarawak, and to request assistance. The assistant resident at Sambas expressed great sym pathy, and immediately despatched a fast boat to Pontianak, where the chief resident was then stay ing. The latter, without hesitation, despatched a war steamer, with such soldiers as he could well spare, accompanied by an offer of further assistants, should is be necessary for the protection of British lives and property—an act qttite characteristic of our Dutch neighbours. The Dutch war steamer arrived at Sarawak on the 15th inst. (when all was happily over), and after staying three days returned to Sarawak. On inquiry amongst the Chieftiins who acted against the Clriue;e, it was found that their loss did not exceed 12 Malays and Dyaks. The Chinese resident at Kuchin were completely restored to confidence when the steamer left, and hs d re-opened their shops. So great, indeed, was their reliance in the stability of the Rajah's government, that not one of their wives or children was sent away to Singapore in the steamer. A letter receive d from Sir James Brooke mentions that most of the guns taken by the Kung , ii had been recovered, as also a large proportion of the muskets carried away from the forts. The lass by . ,the late outrages chiefly- fills on Sir J. Brooke and the government We are right glad to notice that Mrs. Crookshank had nYarlyrecovered from her injuries, and her hus band's wounds were doing well. Sir James and the bishop were in good health and spirits. REVOLT OF CHINESE COOLIES, AND GREAT SLAUGHTER. The Chinese coolie trade bids fair to rival if not surpass in horrors the African slave trade, which it has cost England such expenditure, both of money and the lives of her most gallant sons, to put down. Last month we heard from China of the officers and crew of a French vessel, which left with coolies'for the .Havannah, having been cut off by the co lies, all the officers and some of the crew murdered, and the vessel destroyed. Then last week the Henrietta Maria, also bound for Haven nab, arrived here, having been picked up at sea, without her officers, and the few remaining men of the craw giving rather' contradictory accounts of what had become of the officers and the great3r number of the coolies with which the vessel orivi- Daily left Macao. This week has brought accent; is of a fresh disaster, surpassing in the horrible mature of its incidents anything that has yet gone before it. A boat reached Singapore on Monday last con taining the chief mate and six passengers of the Peruvian ship Carmen, who communicated the fol lowing chocking details :—The Carmen sailedfrom Swatow on the Ist of March for Callao with 200 Chinese coolies and seven passengers. On the Bth, when off the Great Natunas, the interpreter gave information that the coolies intended to take the ship, on which measures were adopted to secure them. Next day everything was apparently quiet until the alarm of fire was given, some of the coolies having thrown burning straw into the bold, appa rently with the intention of taking the crew off th tir guard while trying to put out the fire. This did not succeed, however, as the crew armed themselves and drove the coolies down below, putting on the batches. The attempts made to extinguish the fire proved fruitless, and , two boats were lowered, in which the officers and crew and seven passeng ra interpreter embarked, and pulled off from the ship. There being no sails in the boats, the captain in one of them, with 12 or 13 of the crew, approached the ship for the purpose of trying to procure them ; but at the moment the boat neared her the ship went down, and it is supposed the boat must have been carried 'down with her by the suc'ion, as no thing more was seen of it The whole of the co dies perished with the vessel. The remaining boat made the best of its way to Singapore, the persons in it suffering severely from their exposure and want of water and provisions, their being nothing in the boat but two baskws of sweet potatoes. In addi tion to their sufferings from these causes, they wore attacked off Polo Tingi by a small Malay boat, containing three mea and a boy, who ki led one of the passengers and one of the crew, besides wound ing some of the others. The Malays did not, how ever, succeed iti overpowering them, and they at last reached Singapore in a very miserable condi tion. A g un boat has ben sent out to the east ward in the hope, alrh , ,ugh it is a very faint one, that the boat in which the clpt Lin was embarked may have escaped destruction, and that he' and his companions may still be alive, and so requiring aa sistance.—Singapore Free Press. INDIA AND PERSIA. (Front the Bombay Times of April 2.) The interest of the war is much abated since the arrival of the last English mail on the 23d ultimo, the expectation being of course general that the next one will announce the conclusion of peace. We are Etill, however, disposed to believe that the expecta tion of its immediate issue is tco sanguine, and. we base our conviction on the fact that our conduct has excited an intense feeling of indignation against us at the Persian Court. It is contended by a class of writers in this country that it is justifiable, in dealing with Asiatic= to use another diplomacy than is known iu Europe—in other words, to p •ac tise deceit against deceit ; and our conduct tow: rds I Persia would seem to indicate that this new doc trine is but the expression of our recent practice. It, is forgotten that as a nation we owe as mucn of our influence in Asia to our reputation for in tegrity as to our swords, and the danger of this error can hardly be exaggerated. We felt it neces sary some time since to direct marked attention to the conduct of Commander Jones, our resident at Bushire, who himself is our infurrnant, in his printed despatcheP, that he had succeeded in main taining perfect, up to the moment when our fleet appeared before the place, the illusion that our preparations to invade the country were simply a pretence. We find the Persian Court cansistetitly complaining that, without any declaration of war, and while Ferukb Khan was negotiating w:th Lord. Radcliffe, and, as it now transpires, while our own envoy was declaring that we did notineend war at all, our forces were despatched to the Gulf, and tho invasion effected. Had such conduct been mani fested in Europe, it would have sufficed to outlaw the power that dared violate, so impudently, the law of nations. Our news from the Gnlf is very scanty. Piepara tions were being made at date of our last advices to em bark a large part of the force for 111ahamra, at the mouth of the Kuran ; but the operation was much delayed by the prevalence of violent north west winds which characterise the period of the year.
