BY SAMUEL LA'ME,RT, aki.D , 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honoiary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall. London, &c., &c. a t he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain 'habits, irregularities,' and excesses, which have produced more misery in l'outh, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of dis ase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical c'ndition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the heath, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. _ _ . 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 theheyday of inconsiderate self-fadulgenee, 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 there Is scarcely any degree of pi* sic il infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot atiply a cure.

As the water was known to shoal in the bay, commencing 'from the western . point of Chu-100-cock island and running 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 ranee of five heavily armed kinks, when she anchored, and at once opened fire on them. In about five minutes the junli a and five batterieS surrounding the bay re plied. After about a quarter of an hour's firing, H. T. Ellis, master, in command of the Eaglet, got his two boats out, hoping :that the Auckland's boats would also be ready to shove - off in support of him. Unfortunately the. Auckland had got aground and was not prepared to send her boats, and the fire of the junks on the two bOats was so hot,. the water. being dashed in the men's faces by the grape and round shot, to which the b: ate, having no guns, could make no reply, that it was deemed best to return and wait for the assistance of the boats of the Auckland. After getting on board, the Eaglet resumed her fire, 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 quarfers of an hour's firing, the ammunition of the Eaglet gave out, and with only a few rounds in her magazine the anchor was hove up, and the boat ' , tasked out, keeping up her fi• e, to the. Anckland. The causeiot that steamer not sending beats is then a.sciertaritadeolt e was ard and Last aground. As, however, night was approach ing ,n 0 time was to be lost, the boats were got out and manned. A pinnace, two cutters, and the gig of the Auckland, and the gig and jolly boat of the Eaglet, were taken in tow by the latter steamer, which ag in ran in towards the town. The boats were cast off and pulled towards the j tanks, which kept up a very but fire, mortally wounding one,' and two severely. The fire was replied to by the boats 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 posession. The junks , were found to be aground, and their starboard guns, pointing to the land, were manned by the boats' crews and turned on the forts : the town, and the flying enemy. After a shore time the beats re manned, and pushed for the nearest fort is the west of the town. Qa approaching, it was found to be deserted ; the guns, thirty in number, ivere spiked, and the house and sheds in the enclosure set fire to. It was now so dark that it was thought imprudent totike the men against tho 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 boats might have.timb to pull off before the magazinei exploded, it unfor tunately happened that the last fired had some ready communication with the magazine, and as Mr. Ellis and Lieutenant De Benin 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 beats and the Eaglet then ran out to the Auckland, and the two steamers lay together until the morning, when it was seen that the junks were burnt down to the water's edge. A boat came off early it, the morning with a peace offering of two bullocks and some pigs, and a letter fro n 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 previctus evening, it was thought best 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 onboard, the Eaglet started for Hong Kong. In the Cup-suy-moon a large boat filled with risen 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 admira: s flag flying at the fore, she was lustily cheered by the merchant vessels.:_ Having reported the state of affair 3 to the ad miral, ho resolved, to send the Niger to get the, Auckland off, but with instructions to leave Toots chung 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'cloak, and, steaming throng!). the Throat Gatee, met the Ansel laud coming in ; she then saw the boat under sad which the Eaglet had pas.ed that morning ; it was hailed by the Chinese pilot to lower her sails and heave to. No reply being given, a few musket shots were fired at it with as little &eat. I On this a gun was fired through the boat, which heal the effect of bringing is to, when it was found that one man had been killed (cut in two by the shot) and 3 wounded. After the latter were examined by the surgeon of the Niger they were returned on board. Toe 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 poi'tiou of the pirate fleet, which it had been discovered were oA the other tide of Chitag-yue, better knoWn as " Pirates' Island," the next island to Stol'secutter , The Auckland went round to the west and the Niger .0 the east of the island, and. bet ween 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 s une 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 board, was not Commodore Armstrong, and the Chinese commander was informed he was a prisoner as a pirate. As before stated, the Gaol brigade behaved with great courage, and therefore deserve some remis sion 'of their sentences. The following are the casualties • Killed—Peter Aleman, 0. S.

H. Ellis, commanding E %let, was slightly wounded when blown from the junk. The storehouse of Mr. Eluddell, 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 wisely thinking that, as purveyor of bread to the troops., &c., and in the face of th© poisoning case, be was entitled to some pro tection from her ; Majesty's authorities. SEIZURE OF THE STEAMER, QUEEN. AND MURDER OF SEVERAL PASSENGERS.• (From the China 11101, of Feb. 26.) Another river steamer, the Queen, has fallen a prey to the Chinese passengers and crew, through the culpable negligence of the owners and captain —the former in not having her properly manned and officered, the latter in not adopting theineces sary precautions against such an occurrence. The captain has, indeed, paid the penalty with his 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 caution 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 be 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 iu the cabin. The upper deck was deserted except by the steersman, and the armschest kept there was consequentlyat the disposal of the Chinese, who did not fail to avail themselves of its contents. What became of 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, he was not entirely disabled, so that with his revolver he/managed to shoot two of his assailants ; then, having bound up his leg, be 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 gives a pretty full, a,nd, wa believe, accurate account of the affair On Monday, the 231,.aa the Queen, steamer, was on her way from hence to Macao, and when the ,fficers and, European passengers were at tffin, the Chinese passen gers, with the crew, amounting in all to about thirty five, turned one of the cannon placed in the gangway into the cabin door and fired its contents (grapeshot) among he 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 two 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 would not fi4ht, and were killed by the Chinamen ; the Portuguese hid them selves under tte table. Mr. Cleverly's escap-, and the indomitable courage and perseyerance he displayed, is almost beyond ttlief. His thigh-bone was broken by a grapeshot from the first discharge of the cannon ; not withstanding which he kept the whole band of savages at bay with a revolver for about twenty minutes, and shot two or three of them when they tried to enter the after cabin, where he 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 be remained for an hour-and-a-half, and was picked up a loreha bound to Macao, to which pl , ce he was taken ; and though he may probably lose his leg, it is hoped his life will be saved. The Spanish steamer Magallanes left Macao about 7 or 8 o'clonk the following morning, in search of the un fortunate Queen. She took a peep into Cutu-sing-moon, and a turn round the north end ef Lantan, and returned to Macao shout three o'clock without having seen any thing. Not likely that she would ; but I suppose the officers had to be bank in time for the evening's mas quera,le, and therefore could not spare leisure for a further search. It is to be hoped that the Aucklind's search will bo more fortunate. She has not returned yet, havibg been absent,nor ,two,days. The Queen. had on board about 120 chests of opium, besides other cargo ; 37 chests more wore to have been sent froin 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-Chum), and .is there at anchor, surrounded by a fleet of fifty-seven mandarin juoks ; her female passengers were 'reported to be alive and well. Several respectable Chinese were also passengers in her, and the rumour of some of A-Bun's people being concerned in the capture is entirely imagi nary—at all events. the most energetic inquiries on the subject have been unable, to trace the origin of the report. . P.S. As we, are going to pros:, a note from a friend ia Macao has reached us. It is as fol lows Mr. Cleverly i 3 getting along favourably thus far, and there is hope that he will not have to submit to ampu tation. He was sitting alone on the upper deck,,while the other passengers, all the Portuguese, were at dinner, when a Chinese passenger came np and asked him 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 or fifteen first-class Chinese passengers had come on boarl at starting, and there were several other natives, over none of whom was there the least supervision, nor was a cautionary gusri placed from the time of starting. The loaded muskets were in the chest on the upper deck, and were all seized by the Chinese, who then descended near the wheel-house, and began to drive the others aft. They also fired Irons 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 Wyn❑ and Mr. Cleverly; stood near the door, and the latter shot two Chinese. The captain was wounded.in the bead 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 ;cater, the steamer being near the south-western end of Latium. 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 boat up to the davits, from which position he managed t 1 haul himself over the taffrail and get do en into the.cabin, suffering great pain from his wound all the time. When he was picked up, he saw nothing cf Captain Wynn or of the Chinese who had jumped over board ; some of them may have reached laud. 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 had a quantity of gold dust with him. Ido n6t learn how many, Chinese passengera.were on board besides the scoundrels, but with them it is supposed the firemen were in league to get the property. There was the most culpable carelessness, I am told, own to !ear mg the gun-chest unlocked, whiie the guns inside were loaded and the caps on. The Queen was seen passing north of Cum-sing-moon, bound westerly, and has prJbably gAthe to Kaukong or Fatshan, but-no further tidings have been heard of her. COLLISION BETWEEN THE CHINESE AND RUSSIANS. (From 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 Tarbw b ratai, or Tashtava, th 9 most distant portion of tie Chinese empire in contact with the Siberian frontier. The large pzovince of Ili, at the east ern extremity of what the maps call Independent Tartary, is divided into two parts, Ili Proper, to the south, and Tarhagata;, to theinOrth. Thu latter is the country of portions of the three tribes of flassack Eluth, and Chahar, and also of certain Chinese descendants of some hundreds of fainilies carried thither in the middle of last century to form a mi litary colony. From a memorial of Chalafantai, the Chinese resident Minister, published in the above-men tioned Gazette, it would appear that the Russians (throughout styled barbarians) have frequently had occa , stun to drive back the:r neighbours, who per sist in crossing the frontier to dig fur gold. This has produced discontent, and some Chinese and Mahometans, so trelfted, avenged themsAves 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 sories, to what the Resident insists was a sufficient • punishment. His decision had, however, been revised at Peking, the Superior Courts assuming, from the evidence, that the delinquents had berned dwelling-houses as well as magazines. His memo rial is to disprove this, and to defend the orieinal sentence, on the ground that it imposes a penalty legally commensurate with the offence, 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 consent to a pro position that life should be given for life, in case a Chinese were killed by a Russian. The Resident's station at Sui-t sing, otherwise Tuguchuck or Tarbagati, is perhaps 2,000 miles from Pekin. His report was sent off on the 19th May, and on the 10th 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 • case. The Board of Punishments' minute eventually arrived on•the 20th September. THE SLAUGHTERsAT SciRA.WAK. (From the Straits Times of March 21.) On Tuesday last we issued an Extra giving an outline of the recent outrages committed by the' Chinese at Sarawak, particulars of which were brought from that place by the schooner Good Luck, which sailed on the 21st ultimo and arrived on the 10th instant. Although rumours ha'i been current that the Kungsi contemplated resisting the authority of the local government, the latter appear to have treated the matter with indifference. Suddenly how 'ever, a large body numberinc , about 200 Chinese, came down the river, on and before the 17th Febru ary, and atmidnight commenced a most determined at tack o n the Government people and property. They first secured posiession of the two fort, one below and the other above the town of Kuchin (the seat of Rajah Brooke's authority), which ,were only gar risoned. by 12 men, and having furnished' them selves with all the arms and amunition in the forts, they proceeded to the work of destruction upon which th'iy had ventured. This was at midnight, when all were asleep. One party made an attack on the residence of Sir James Brooke, w hil s t the remainder assaulted the houses of Mr. Crook hank, the magistrate, and Mr. Middleton, also aGove,rn ment official. For some days previous Sir James Brooke was unwell, and was about to proceed to Simunjang, on the Sadong river (the seat of the Borneo Company's operations), for change of air. On the. night in question his servant was sleeping in an adjoining room, and under the same roof wai residing a young and very promising gentleman, named Nicolets, who had joined the RLI,) a WS circle as a guest within the last 12 months. The surprise and co/lA=4ton was so great, and the measures ' of the attacking party so well organised, ,that all communitatien between the different European members of the community was irepwsible. While the Chinese aet Icked the front of the house, Sir J. Brooke succeeded in effecting an extraordinary escape ; be passed clown 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 sheitly afterwards. The assailant-I filed into Sir J. Brooke's residence, killed Mr. Nicolets (whose body was buried in the ruins), plundered the place 'of everything of value in their estimation, and then set fire te the building, ruthlessly destroying Sir James Brooke's excellent library and the valualde collections of his whole life—a loss which friend or foe muss equally regret. At the house of Mr. Crookshank the assailants met with a firm resistance, but that gentleman was over powered ; be defended his amiable and recently mairied lady wish the utmost gallantry. Mrs. Crotdesbank was brutally wounded before his eyes, end dragged away when he was no longer able to defend her.. Trrrs. Crookahank was believed to have been killed, hut happily next morning she was found in' the jungle. Her wounded body was co vered with co';oA-nut leaves. She was removed to the Mission-house, where, under the skilful treat ment of the Bishop, the Right Rev. Dr. McDou g-ill, 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 ths service of ISir J. Br : , olie) was attacked ; la , s house was fired, and two of his children unhappily perished in the 'flames. Mr. Wellington, a metallurgist, in the sterviee.-pf flee Below.Dwnpvl34A.lP..a,t,pf 24r. Mid Wet on's was killed and his head cut off,fro . - hably under the mistaken supposition that lie also was in the service of the Sarawak government, as the head was given up on the following day. The government treasury 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 dots. belonging to the Borneo Company was carried off. In the course of a few hours a large amount of go vernment property was destroyed. Next clay the. Chinese Kungsi stated that they had no hostile intentions against any one but per sons connected with the government ; indeed they expresseda 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 negtotiaions were opened with the Chinese, and it was arranged 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 adopt to prevent ophim smuggling. % Some heavy fines had been levied on the smuggler?, the amount being paid ,by the Kungsi ; and latterly seine of the offenders bad, 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 iu 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 Sir Jas. Brooke. The arrival of the steamer Sir James Brooke, belonging to the Borneo Company, was anxiously looked for, and as that vesiel left this on the 21st ult., she would most likely reach Sarawak on the 24th. The European ladies had, we hear, quitted fur the mouth of the river, where they would be 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 Waterlily, and loading her with arms arid ammunition, as also some volunteers for service. The steamer Inflexi ble, which sailed for Hong Kong, took the Water lily and gunboat in tow, and we hear that the Star ling will look in at Sarawak, on her way to China. Sir James Brooke, by latest advice, had departed 'for Simunjang, en the Sadong, . the • scene of the Borneo Company's operations, and where a large num.bez of coolits are employed, wiih the hope, no doubt, 'that his presence would'proveut any ris iug on the part of the coolies in that quarter. In our hurried Extra of Tuesday last we stated that the Chin se authors of the above rad outraoas 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 Mrindy's first volume, p. 289 et sequel., an I to resist their then demands Sir Jes. Brooke(p. pal) says he was prepared to push the aff dr to extremity " if they did not yield to the terms demanded," whilst he prophetically observes, " I look forward 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 ar3 we shalt strengthen in a greater proportion than they will be able to do." The re - cent outrage has clearly shown that the strengthening means have been overlooked, with a fearful result too. ( Prom the Straits Times of March: 23.) The British steamer Sir James Brooke, telonging to the Borneo Company, arrived 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 laiest advices by the Steamer Good Luck ‘vere 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 opeerations. Messrs. Crookshanlr, Crymble, Steel,' and..Penty accompanied the Rajah to Simunjang ; the object of 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 Kungsi people (the insurgents) had evacuated the town of Kilobit), and retired up country, and that the Ma lays wore 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 Sadong to the Sarawak river, but before he could land the Chinese Kungi had a second time ventured clown the river it great force (between 500 and 600), and with feelings whetted, as it were, by their late partial success, and yet chagrined at their fAilure to overturn the Rajah's authority. The return of the Chinese with so large a force somewhat surprised the Rajah, and compelled him to retire or venture a collision with an inadequate force. In the mean time) the Kungsi people availed themselves of the time to commit further depredations on the Govern ment proper y. It now became apparent that most extensive means were needed to suppress the ad vance of the Kungsi 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 cumstances Sir J. Brooke proceeded to Linga, to secure the co-operation of the cnief and the people of that district, but on his way the steamer Sir James Brooke, from Singapore, hove in sight most timeously ; her arrival was not merely opportune, but the site of her anchorage formed the base of all subsequent operations. Sir J. Brooke and his party at once proceeded in the steamer to Kuchin, and. soon succeeded in driving the miscreants out of the town. On inquiry and search it was found that the Datoo Bandar was defending elf against the Chinese, amid a cluster of prahu,. The Datoo suc ceeded in recapturing nine sampans (boat , ) and one of the Government prahu * ( vessels) containing stores, gunpowder, and opium, &O. 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 assumed a mode of irregular attack. The Dyaks were let loose, who from a large circuit, ba'tue-like, drove the Chinese into their fastnesses, accompanieel by great loss to the retreaters, where they were h em med in ; in other words, there took place a kind of guerilla warfare of the most harassing character, grievously thinning the number of the rebels. Still the Chinese were undaunted; from tbeir stronghold they ventured an•attack in five prahus, and com menced ravaging the banks of the river. This 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 thel e Kungsi in their boats, the Datoo, in his single prahu, offered battle, which the Kungsi declined. Thinking this to be an excellent site, the Kungsi lauded, and constructed a stockade, which they armed with four guns, and garrisoned by about 250 men with musket., &c. Believing themselves to be secure, the Chinese very foolishly n i eglected to secure their boats, which were captured by their opponents. Leaving his' war prahu near the stock ade, the Date° chivalroudy proceeded to Kuchin in THE -7c ' OVERLAND MAIL. Despatches and pap :as from India and China by the overland mail via Marseilles have been re-, ceived. The dates are those' already'given in our telegraphic despatch :—Bombay, April 2; Calcutta, 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 portant occurrences are given at length below. The f dloWing extract from the China Mail of the above mentioned date represents the general state bf af fairs at Hong Kong when the mail left : " Affairs inthe Canton river have been very quiet for some time past. ' The imperialist junks are in great force. In the entrance to Fatshan Creek an attempt was made to dislodge them by the En counter, small steamers, and boats of the squadron, on Feb. 23, which failed, the Encounter not being able to get within 2,700 yards of the nearest junkQ, her bow 'pivot gun alone being able to reach them. The steamers Hong Kong ani Forbes wore 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 Vila 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 oh both sides for upwards of two hours, when, as if by mutual consent, there was a cessa tien of hostilities.' The shots from thejunk reached the Encounter and cut away some of her rigging, dropping plentifully around the boats, but fortu nately without inflicting any damage on the crews. The Chinese are now fortifying the approaches to Fatshan and sinking barriers. " The Cantonese have, not as yet commenced 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 small batteries on 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, Conms, 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 Wantun,g 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. Toe passage boats now ply the Broadway Passage, Macao river, and Hyacinth Creek ; turning to the right if for Canton - by boat passage, or to the left if for Fat shan, whieh is now a place of considerable import ance. "An attack, and the burning of some Chinese men-of-war-junks at Toong Choong, by the steamers Auckland and Eaglet, with the loss of only one man belonging to the Auckland, after a few hours' engagement, has given 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 Bellin, of the Auckland, for their gallant conduct in that affair. " Our brave old Admiral Sir Michael, as usual, is always on the qui vine ; constantly 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 hero, 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 conferring an inestimable boon upon us by ordering his recall. Talent he has to a certain extent, and of a certain order ; but alas ! for the application." In the same paper we read Sir M. Seymour arrived at the Stake Barrier in the Barracouta on Baturday, the 7th ult., and shifted his flag to the Niger, which, with the Acorn and Coromandel, was at anchor below the barrier. A few days previous the "Braves" made another at tempt to annihilate the Comus, by means of a mon • ster gun, - which they had placed on board Dr. Ryder's chop which they had taken from Wham , poa. They towed her by the Elliot passage to within 200 yards of the Comus, 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 a,Qsistance 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 'naval station, and the junk', under command of an admiral, had been lying there some time, their presenoe at 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- ~.~.._.,--~- --a----_._ - v./, Had time permitted to have organised a concen trated attack, not au individual wouldhave escaped • As it is, the wretched fugitives-are driven into the jungle, where a vast number of them must perish from. want and exposure before they Clll reach a place of security. According to the most moderate estimate at least 1,000 Chinese have been kilted at the various places, while all the flourishing settlements of the Chinese (except at Kuchin) have been destroyed. The exact number of Chinese who have perished during the retreat it is impossible to say ; it must be considerable, since out of a population of 4,000 to 5,000 Chinese belonging to the Kungsi, not more than 2,000 escaped the late retribution, inzluding . women and children. Much as we regret letting loose the Dyaks to commit the most savage decimation or rather de struotiou of a whole people, we cannot sympathise with the diabolism of the Kungsi, who, both indi vidually and collectively, have always received at the bands of Sir James Brook Borneo justice—a code regulated by circumstauc.s. The diabolical attempt of the Chinese Kungsi has met with the punishment it deserved; no reasonable being will pity them, however much they may regret the frightful sacrifice of-human - life. Experience too - sadly proves that at the present period kindness, humanity, and forbearance are either misunder stood or but too lightly apFreoiated 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. Having thus disposed of the leading events front Sarawak, there are a few matters of both general aud local interest which we cannot allow to pass ; the owi•siou would be rather unjust, inasmuch as toe circumstances are fresh in our memories. It appears that on the 27th February, when affairs assumed a rather ugly aspect, Mr. Helms (tho agent for the Borneo Company) was despatched to Sambas, to inform the Dutch authorities tbere how matters stood at Sarawak, and to request assistance. The assistant resident at Sambas expres-ed great sym pathy, and immediately despatched a fast boat to Pontianak, where the chief resident was then stay ing. The latter, without hesitatoo, despatched a war steamer, with such soldiers as he could well spare, accompanied by an offer of further assistance, siiould it be necessary for the protection of British lives and property—an act quite 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 Chieftains who acted against the Obinee, 'it was found that their loss did not exceed 12 Malays and llyaks. The Chinese resident at Kuchin were completely restored to cOnfidence wh en the steamer left, and had 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 received from Sir James Brooke mentions that most of the guns taken by the Kungsi had been recovered, as also a large proportion of the muskets carried away from the forts. The loss by the late outrages chiefly falls on Sir J. Brooke and the government We are right glad to notice that Mrs. Cronksbank hal nearlyrecovered flout 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 Havannab, having been cut off, by the coolies, all the officers and some of the crew murdered, and...the vessel destroyed._ Then last week the Henrietta Maria, also bound for Haven nail, arrived here, having been picked up at sea, without her officers, and the few remaining men of the crew giving rather contradictory ac.a3unts of what had become of the officers and the greater nu.uher of the coolies with which the vessel origi nally left Macao. This week has brought accounts of a fresh disaster, surpassing in the horrible nature of its incidents anything that has yet gone before it. A boat reached Sing spore o'i Monday last con taining thte chief mate and six passengers of the Peruvian ship Carmen, who coinumnicated the fol lowing shocking details :—The Carmen sailed from Swatow on the tat of March for Callao with 200 Cilium 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 their 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 hatches. The attempts made to extinguish the fire proved fruitless, and two boats were lowered, in which the officers and crew and seven passengers 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 t, procure them; but at the moment the boat neared her the ship went (lowa, and it is supposed the boat must have been carried down with her by the suction, as no thing more was seen of it. The whole of the coolies 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 baskets of sweet potatoes. In addi tion to their sufferings from these causes, they were attacked off Palo Tingi by a small Malay boat, containing three men 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 in overpowering them, and they at last reached Singapore in a very miserable condi tion. A gun boat has bsen sent out to ,the east ward in the hope, although it is a very faint one, that the boat in which the captain was embarked may have escaped destruction, and that he and Lis companions may still be alive, and so requiring as sistance.—Singapore Free Press. INDIA AND PERSIA. (From the Bombay Times of April 2.) The interest of the war is much abated since the arrival of the last Engofli.csohurmsaeigl eonnetrahleth23atdtuhletinmexot, o th n ee e w x i p ll ec a t n a n ti o o u n n b ce ein th g e conclusion of peace. We are still, however, disposed to believe that the expecta tion of its immediate issue is too 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 count r y th a t i t i s justifiable, in. dealing with Asiatics to use another diplomacy. • than is known in Europe—in other words, to prac tise deceit against deceit ; and our conduct towards Persia would seem to ingrate that this new doc trine is but the expression of our recent practice. It is forgotten that as a nation we owe as much 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 atteetion to the conduct of Commander Jones, our resident at Bushire, who himself is our informant, in his printed despatches, 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 consistently complaining that, without any declaration of war, and while Ferukb Khan was n egotiating with Lcri Radcliffe, and, as it now transpires, while our own envoy was declaring that we did not intend war at all, our forces were d es patched to the Gulf, and the mp invasion effected. Had suc h con duct been mani fested in Europe, dar it e dwouldhavuflice u d de t n o tly, outlaw the power thatthe violate, have sufficed impudently, law of nations. Our news from the Gulf is very scanty. Prepara tions were being made at date of our last advices to embark a large part of the force for Mahamra, at the mouth of the Kuran ; but the operation was muc h delayed by th e prevalence of violent north west winds which characterise the period of the year.

The effect of this signal attack was complete. A panic seized the Kungsi people, which was eagerly 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 Sambas, closely followed by bands of Malays, who availe themselves of every opportunity to cut off the stragglers. The Chinese retired in a close body— so close, indeed, that their assailants failed to canoe • disorder, and made a desperate resistance in the presence of their wives and children. z:: 3 'e ~__ ;--~ `:._ / it • s to .p a _ and or nts, !cc., • uch the !r or ever or t no tter. wise tter, [tteu two the inni n its üble itten ftled r un aken rged it tut E the t for- with f one cient four tamp pos- privi )t, or dical osted such salon ieces- ding other- book ng an ukcif. 1 and lot be ret in etary. 40 11392 ea V A ; Pl5ll ..t.) %O A ' Ted .
