LIEUTENANT PALLISER TO CAPTAIN SIR W. HOST; BART.
" Her Majesty's Ship Spartan, Hong Kong,
Oct. 26, 1354.
" Sir,—According to your directions, I proceeded, at
7 a.m, on the 17th inst., with 85 seamen and marines of
this ship, in this barge, pinnace, and jolly-boat, to the
steamer Ann. On the evening of the same day we an-
chored near the wreck of the Caldera. The next morn-
ing I observed some suspicious•looking junks to wind-
ward ; we immediately went in chase with the barge,
pinnace, and ji,lly-boat. On our approach they mmte
for the shore, threw their guns overboard, the crew suc-
ceeding in escaping before we could come up with them,
►eaving their vessels aground.

" I atn happy to inform you that the first junk I
boarded had on board the French lady whom we have
been in search of, also a Chinese merchant who was
taken in the Caidera. I immediately sent them to the
Ann in the jolly-boat, burnt the junk, and consequently
two others.
" We then pulled up to the villages of Cou-ehoe-mee,
and landed, having previously burst some Sarapnell
shell over the town. We carried down to the boats all
tbe cargo that was not damaged that we could find—
viz., 43 bags of sugar and 40 chests of tea ; and burnt
two separate villages. While employed embarking the
cargo we discovered another village, in an adjacent val-
ley, guarded by a battery, with men standing at the
guns I immediately collected our men and went to the
attack. Not knowing the road we had to firce our way
through a thick jungle till we came in face of a battery,
which opened fire on U 3 with four guns and five wall-
pieces at about 80 yards. At the saute time we received.

jangle, where many were shot. We then burnt the vil-
!age, which contained many houses, principally built of
.brick. Four of the guns and two of the wall-pieces we
carried off, the rest we destroyed ; and after having
-burnt 17 boats on the beach we returned to the Ann at
7.30 p. to
" Early the next morning we left the Ann, in the beats,
and pulled into Coulan Bay. Immediately on rounding
the point we were fired upon from several batteries, situ-
ated In different parts of the bay; also from 20 large junks
hauled up broadside on to the beach, mounting heavy
guns, from which they fired upon us with very fair pre,
eision, at a distance of 1000 yards. Near these large
junks there was a battery, from which they fired some
shell that burst short. After having satisfied myself as
to the force and position of this strong place, I retired
behind the point, as I considered that from the very
strong position taken by the pirates any attempt that I
could have made with the force at my disposal to attack
the place would be useless. I therefore returned to the
Ann, .and arrived in this harbour at 8.30 a,m. this day.
"I take this opportunity of expressing to Lieutenant
A. Morrell my thanks for his able advice and assistance
I throughout the expedition. To Lieut. Stokes, who corn-
manded the marines, and assisted me greatly, my thanks
are also duo. I have great pleasure in informing you of
the exemplary conduct of the men throughout; I here.

G UNPOWDER EXPLOSION AND EXTRA.ORDINA.IIY ESCAPE.)
—LowrcK.—Oa Wednesday, the 3d instant, an accident
occurred at a-coalpit which is being sunk near Kimmer-
ston by Mr. Salsbury,lof Barmoor.. A barrel containing
251 b. of gunpowder had been inadvertently left in the.
smithy, which is attached to the works, and while one
of the work Men was employed in sharpening some took
a spark from the heated iron ignited the gunpowder. A
tremend'ius explosion followed, which carried off elf
roof, and otherwise greatly damaged the building, al
though the man, who was at work within two yarch
from where the gunpowder lay, only received a few
slight burns. This person (Gleergo Halliday) some years
ago was shut up in a neighb3uring coalpit for two day;
and a night, under peculiarly trying cireurnstances.--,
