No. 232.] LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1847.

Mains, Labuan will, svidentally, eventfully heel great
ademiager.
During my stay at Labuan I made a point of convening
se mach as possible with the native, m A oonily the N.
brim and traders. Their gratitude for the protection
afforded by our prance is unbounded; they now have no
Imitation In nailing singly, whereas in previous years they
have been obliged to go in large squadrons for mutual sup-
port. Since Sir Thosim Cochrane', operations, last year,
piney has been unknown on the mast ; it is certain that
the Itlanoons have retired to Toongkoo on the east con!:
some few who hive Intermarried with Hackie.' still remain,
and have begged our forgiveness.
In the middle of February I heard from the Sultan that
Hadji Semen was in Brune and creating disturbances, and
the Sultan said he was net strong enough to bring him to
justice. I immediately went up with all the force I could
muster, and finding the Sultan would be satisfied, I ob-
tained the signature of Nakhoda Italnid to a document
making him responsible for the good behaviour of Hadji
Swan and his follower,. This Nakhoda is a rich man, and
supports the Hadji. It was clear to me that the Sultan was
more afraid of offending you and Sir T. Cochrane by alloys
ing the Hadji'a residence than of any personal injury from
him.

Upon being relieved by Commander Gray, who has but
recently arrived on the slalom, I let letters with him, de-
tailing with minuteness all that had occurred since law
autumn, and upon your arrival at Labuan, I have no doubt
he will show them to you, although there will probably be
thanAkat yoa an not already acquainted with.

There are accounts from the Nlaurititts to the sth
of March, which state that of the sugar crop of the
prevent year there had been exported, to the Ist of
that month 101,043,2131 b. The demand latterly had
been brisk, but the market was indifferently supplied.
For middling and low brown up to fine yellow the
prices varied between 4 dots. 20c. and 6 dole. Recent
arrivals of Company's rupees from India had ren-
dered
cash more abundant, and the rate of discount
showed a tendency to decline. Treasury bills, at 30
days' sight, were 1 per cent. premium ; private bills,
at six months, 6 to 8 per cent. discount; and three
months' bills, 5 per cent.. discount. The value of
money on local Paper was from 10 to 12 per cent.
Sovereigns were quoted 3 to 4 per cent. premium;
and British silver, 24 to 3 per cent. premium.

REVIEW OF THE CIIELSEA PENSIONERS HT THE
DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND PRINCE Atur.wr.—lt having
been notified that a grand review of the Chelsea Pensioners,
belonging to the metropolitan districts, would take place
this morning in Hyde-park, the usual exercising ground
facing Grosvenor-date was completely surrounded with tem-
porary scaff,ilding, stalls for the sale of fruit, ginger beer,
etc. In addition, there were a number of itinerant publicans,
and some persons with pails of Lie pure element, who drove
• brisk trade by vending it at a halfpenny • pint. The weather
was extremely propitious, and all sides of the vast area were
crowded with well-decreed persons from an early hour. At
eight o'clock, a detachment of the Scots Fusilier Guards,
and a troop of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), took up the
ground, and ire about half-an-hour afterwards the hardy
veterans (all the companies having arrived) formed a line
two deep, extending from Grosvenor-gate to the shrubbery
abutting the Oxiord-road. Prei isely at nine o'clock, the
I Duke of Wellington and Prince Albert, attended by
a flume? us and brilliant staff, arrived, arid were
received with the customary honors. Amongst the
officers on the ground were Fei ld-hlanshal the Mar-
quis of Anglesey, General Lord Combermere, Lieut.-
Generals L•ed &sheen, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Sir J. Mac-
donald, Sir H. Douglas, Maj.-Gen. Sir H. Smith,the Marquis
of Worcester, Earl of March, Colonel Drummond, &c. The
commander-in-chiet and staff, having rigidly inspected the
men, the line broke into subdivisions by the right, and
marched east in slow and quick time, when the line was
again formed, and the manual and platoon exercises having
been gone through with becoming precision, the various
evolutions of forming squares, marching, and counter-
marching, fermi, gdives' ions, subdivisions, sections, and again
forming line upon the several portions of the main body, firing
by files, sections, platoon., and volleys, and the various CVO.
lutioika of li3Ost infantry having been performed, apparently
to the satiabletion of the inspecting general-officers, the bat-
talion was once more formed into line, and having presented
arms, the several companies were marched to their respective
geld- ors. 016anel Tit. • commanded in chief. The field-
marshals, generals, &o. wore their apprapriate uniforms.

PRODUCE.—MmoNG-LAtte, Half-past Trro.—
The public sales of Sugar for exceeded the demand to-day,
and the portion sold was at :octet prices, making a reduction
of in. to is. 6d. upon the *losing prima of Friday last. Re-
fined, however, is held more firmly, and the decline does not
exceed 6d. ; lumps, 82s. to 645. Cofree has become more
steady, and the market wears the appearance of having seen
its lowest for the present ; but it must be borne in mind that
the question is between the trade and the importers in this,
like most ether loge articles, as speculators and middle men
show aodispositieno buy natter the peculiar atate of the money
market. Wee is dell, sad sales to say estrat amid set he
made without giving way in prices, which are now 4a. below
the Into highest point. Corn, as a matter of course, materi-
ally induences this article. Rum : Steady; but the market
has bees Moire. Cotton has become more firm, and rather
higher priest, have been paid. The colonial market eluan for
the week with a general dull appearance.
