to ,'„he Borneo Company, arrived at Sluglipore yester-
day (Sunday), having left Sarawak on the 19th
Mat., by which opportunity we have received late
and important news, which we hasten to lay beforo
our readers.

Our latest advice. by the steamer Good Luck were
to the 20th February, at which date Sir James
Brooke had retired to 6imunjang, on the Wong
river, the headquarters of the Borneo Companys
operations. Messrs. Crookshanic, 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 Bungsi
people (the insurgents) had evacuated the town of
Kuehn), and retired up country, and that the Malays
were' preparing. to start in pursuit. We now con-
tinue 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 Kutigsi had a second time ventured down
the river in great force (between 500 and SOO), and
with feelings otetted, as it were, by their late par-
tial success, and yet chagrined at their failure to
I 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
Ito commit further depredations on the government
property. It now became apparent that most ex-
tensive means were needed to suppress the advance
of the Kungsi people, whose object appeared to be
to secure for themselves the entire paramount
authority, alike indifferent to brute force, base trea-
chery, or the vilest measures. Under these circum-
stances Sir James Brooke proceeded to Lingo., to se-
cure the co-operation of the chief and the people of I
that district, but on his way the steamer Sir James
Brooke, from Singapore, hove in sight moat time-
ously ; her arrival was not merely opportune, but
the site of her anchorage formed the base of all sub-
sequent operations. Sir James Brooke and his party
at once groeeedfxl in the steamer to Kuchin, and
soon sucetTeded in driving the miscreants out of the
town. On inquiry and search it was found that the
Data) Bandar was defending himself against the
Chinese, amid a cluster of praline. The Daft saw
needed in recapturing nine sampans (boats) soli cse
of the government probes (vowels) contain*, lbws,
gunpowder, opium, as
_ . . .

- -
The body or main force of the ChineeN driven
from the town, were finally
.either cut off by the
Dyaks, or were starved in the jungle. At the (abet
about 100 of the Chinese were killed. The warfare
assumed a mode of irregular attack. The D
were let loose, who from a larlargecircuit, liattne-Sea ,
drove the Chinese into their fastssewa, accom-
panied by great loss to the retreaters, where they
were hemmed in • in other words, there took place a
kind of guerilla ;warfare of the most harassing Ab-
rader, grievously thinning the number of the rebels.
Still the Chinne were undaunted ; from their straw-
hold they ventured an attack in five palm, and
commenced ravaging the banks of the river.
This was on the 9th March. The Data) Baader
wee stationed in a single prahu at Tenpin
Lidah (the junction of two riven), about 15 Ingo
above Kuchin; meeting the Kungsi in their bee&
the Datoo, in his single prahu, offered battle, whisk
the Kungsi declined. Thinking this to be an ex-
cellent site the Kungsi landed, and constructed a
stockade. which they armed with Me and
garriewbed by about 250 men with la
Believing themselves to be secure the Odors very
foolishly neglected to secure their boats, Willa were
captured by their opponents. Leaving his war prahu
near the stockade, the Datoo chivalrously pounded
to Kuchin in a small canoe-boat for 'Distance. The
Datoo hastened to Kuchin to secure reinforcements,

and on the 10th March he returned to the stockade;
with two large prshus, and some Dyak bangkongs as
a reserve. Thus strengthened the Datoo, with his 3
pashas, made a dash at the Chinese stockade, where
he landed with his party and carried the place with-
out a repulse. The Chinese in the stockade ware
cut to pieces; in half an hour they last front 100 to
120 men; the rest in the stockade, having last their
boats, took to the jungle. We may remark that the
defeated
.party in the stockade consisted of picked
men ; their principal chiefs were killed in the smelt.
The effect of this signal attack was complete. A
panic seized the Kungsi people, which was eagerly
availed of ; the Chinese successively fled from Ba-
laida, Biniawan, and Ban. By the night of the 11th
March the Kungsi people were in full retreat towards
Sambas, closely followed by hands of Malays, who
availed themselves of every opportunity to cut off the
stragglers. The Chinese retired in aclose body—
so ceie, indeed, that their assailants failed to muse
disorder--and made a desperate resistance in the pre-
sence of their wives and children.

Had time permitted to have organised a concen-
trated attack, not an individual would have 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 can reach •
place of security.
According to the most moderate estimate at least
1,000 Chinese have been killed at the varies@ place*,
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 coneider-
able, 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, including women
and children.
Much as we regret letting lose the Dyaks to com-
mit the moat savage decimation or rather destruction
of a whole people, we cannot sympathise with the
diabolism of the Kungei, who both individually and
collectively have always received at the hands of Sir
James Brooke 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, how-
ever 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 misunderstood or but too lightly appre-
ciated by the Chinese, who think they ought to be
dominant for no earthly reason, that we can dis-
cover, but because they are cruel and vain.
On inquiry amonpt the Chieftains who acted
against the Chinese, it was found that their loss did
not exceed 12 Malays and Dysks.
The Chinese residents at Kuchin were completely
restored to confidence when the steamer left, and had
re-opened their shops. So greet, 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 James Brooke and the government
people.
- We arc right glad to notice that Mrs. Crooksbank
had nearly recovered from her injuries, and her hus-
band's wounds were doing well. Sir James and the
bishop were in good health and spirits.

He leaves this for England by the steamer to-day.
We understand that the new live per cent. loan is
fast being paid up, both here and in Calcutta. The
amount received into the treasuries up to this time
cannot be less than a crore of rupees. As we anti-
cipated some time ago, the whole amount required
by government, three (Torn', will be supplied before
two more months are over. _

A serious attempt was made on Saturday afternoon
against the lives of six officer, of the sth Regiment
N. 1., including Captains Symons and Scott, Lieut.
Brown, Dr. Trestrail, and two others. Some poison
was mixed with the soup prepared for and intended
to be taken by them, and it was not until one of
them vomited and the others felt severe pain from
the effects of what they bed taken that the treachery
became apparent. Several personi have been taken
up on suspicion, and the soup has been sent for
medical examination. All the officers are doing well.
The senior magistrate of police was engaged yes-
terday in taking tho depositions against the Chariest!,
mess-cooks suspected of haiirena mixed some poisonous
substance in the soup pre by them. The case
has been remanded, and t e prisoners have been ad-
mitted to bail on their own recognisances.

Some of these bear witness to the fart that they have seen it
skulking at a distance, end affirm it to be either a bear,
