SARAWAIc..—By the Esk we learn that' the 'retributive
expedition had returned to Sarawak, after inflicting
severe punishment on the Kanowit people, for the
treacherous murder of Messrs. Fox and Steele. The
principals had been executed with fourteen other Fost-
men ; about 200 Dyaks also were killed who had taken`
up a position above Kanowit.—Straits Times.

We (United Service Gazeiti) understand the Admi-
ralty have given directions for the grant of sea-time to
Captain 3PClintock during the period he Was in command
of the Fox ; but this, we presume, will have to be done
by order in council. Lieutenant Hobson's commission
as commander will shortly be signed, if it has not already •
reached that gallant and enterprising young officer.

LORD BROUGHAM ON BRIBERY.—In reference to
Lbrd Brougham!s, address at Bradford, on Tuesday
morning, it has been stated that his lordship was in
~e —.lrin, the offering of a bribe to a Toter an
act of felony. The noble tor&, L •~,,;,1,PSit to be
understood that what he proposes is; to make the °nonce
a misdemeanour—which involves less serious legal-con-.
sequences ; but he would attach to it, as his speech
intimated, a • degrading punishment,'such as the tread-
wheel. —Leeds Mercury. '

FRENCH AND ENGLISH FRATERNIZATION.-At the
annual dinner given by the Mayor of Great Yarmouth,
on Thursday evening, one of the guests was Captain
Lemosey, of the French aviso Galilee, now lying off
the coast. One of the toasts proposed by the Mayor
was the bealth of his Majesty, Napoleon 111., and
Captain Lemosey, in responding to the toast, re-
ciprocated the desire expressed, that England and France
might long remain united. The two nations were
in close alliance-during the Russian war, and he was
- glad there was as good a prospect of their being united
in the Chinese war. For his own part, he could see no
reasons for hatred, but, on the contrary, many for friend-
ship. The gallant Captain's observations were warmly
applauded, and were endorsed by Mr. Howes, M.P., Sir
E, H. E. Lacon, -and Sir H. J. Stracey, M.P.,
--who afterwards addressed the company. The latter hon.-
baronet added. that an adequate force had not been,Sent
up the Peiho on the occasion of the late disaster on that
river, and he hoped that in the new alliance with
France, of which he was glad to hear the French officer
speak so warmly, a well organised expedition would be
despatched.
GRAND NIGHT DEFENCE OF PORTSMOUTH. - This
very interesting military demonstration took place on
Friday .night—the exact hour was, of course, kept a
~secret. For many nights previously the inhabitants
lad been on the qui vise, and those who persevered
=wpm well rewarded. On Friday night, a little before
ten o'clock, the Lieutenant-Governor, Major-General
Wu- James Scarlett, and staff, took up a position on the top
of the tower flanking the heavy shell gun-battery at the
-entrance of the harbour. In a few seconds three alarm
guns from the Kings Bastian were fired in quick suc-
cession. In two minutes the signal was answered and
rerated front the various forts and Southsea Castle.
Bugles -sounded, and shortly afterwards the heavy
tramp of armed men in different divisions at the double,
"headed by. their respective officers, quickly manned the
heavy guns facing seaward. The excitement was now
very ;great, .nearly every house was left vacant. and
the inhabitants imade a rush for the battlements, South-
sea-common, and the sea-beach. Within ten minutes
from the time .of the alarm guns, the batteries opened
in earnest upon the supposed enemy from the Point
FOrt, King's Bastion, Spur Redoubt, Southsea Castle,
Fort Moncton, and Blockhouse, on the Gosport side of
the harbour ; these runs commanded the entire position
of .the narrow channel, one and a half miles distant, by
which one ship only could enter at a time, and which
wonld be speedily sunk or set fire to by red hot shot and
shell The Royal Artillery vied with each other in
working their guns, and a continuous roar was kept up
for the discipline they have attained, and for the stcadi-
for 40 minutes. The highest credit is due to the troops,
ness and rapidity with which they sponged, loaded, and
fired such heavy ordnance.
