WHAT RAJAH Buono DID IN Howeno.—Brooke
did everything possible for the protection and encourage-
ment of industry ; and there he stopped. He did rat want
the people to enrich him ,• and he left them free to choose
whether to enrich themselves. He chastised their piratical
enemies, sad made their river sisfe, and promoted trading ;
but, as the Dyaks are not fond of labour, he acquiesced in
their tastes, and countenanced the native ent by
which the Chinese immigrants did the hard , and the
,)yaks enjojed their ease and dignity. "My Dyaks are
gentlemen, W. in his mind amidst the provisions of
his government, rug well as in coavenation with Euro-
peans. In like manner he encouraged these gentlemen
clients of his to discuss the rules and methods of justice,
law, and executive government. They decided on the in-
stitution of courts of justice; they held conned on new
laws; and they distributed thence of government, under
his enaction. His advice and information were always at
their dispose' but they hal to ask for the one and the
other. In the coolness ;4 the morning he was always to
he found on a meth.. walk by the river side, where be could
be consulted by all comers ; and many a time did midnight
overtake some group of which Brooke was the centre,
gravely discussing the affairs ei the commonweelth, or
speculating on the great questions whirl) interest nut of
all races in all ages, or narrating the facts of European or
