DINNER TO SIR JAMP:S BROOKE.
A grand ncr net given oa Friday at the Lon-
don avern, by a number of the leading tnerceents
of the city of London and others, to Sir James Brooke,
the Raja of Sarawak, as it testimony of their approba-
tion of his conduct as ruler of Borneo, end the istands of
the Eastern Archipelago. The chair was taken by Mr.
J. Crawurd, et tee firm of Colvin, Crawrurd, and Co.,
East India merchants, supported by Admiral Sir Charlet,
Adana, Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, Mr. Baron Al-
derson, Sir James Law Lushington, Mr. Hankey, Go-
vernor of the Bank of Eagland ; Mr. Hubbard, Deputy-
Governor of the Bank; the Hon. Captain Keppell, Mr.
Q.C.; Mr. H. Drummond, M.l'.;

M.P.; Mr. C. A. Christopher, M.P.;Mr.
Neetdegaie, MX.; Captain Dalrymple Hay; M. W. B.
Beyiey, E,I.C; Sir R. Jenkins, E 1.C.; Mr. J. H. Craw-
ford; Mr. H. T. Prinsep, E.I.C. ; Admiral Sir James

Astell, E LC; Mr. Charles Johnson; Rev. C. IL Bren-
ton; Mr. Robert Alexander; Mr. J. B. Powle; Mr. R.
Twining; Mr. J. Cattloy, and about 240 gentlemen,
prix cipaliy connected with large mercantile firma in the
city.
The dinner, which cemprised every delicacy of the
season, was most admirably served; und the wines,
being of the moat recherche description, gave universal
satisfaction.
Upon the removal of the cloth, grace was sung by Mr.
Turner, Mr. F. Smith, Mr. Genge, Master Bristow,
Master Solar, and the Mitses Wells.
The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of " Her

hMeanjoe.ast honours.
the Queen," s
nese Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family.
The CHAIRMAN then gave the " Army and Nevy'.'
If there ware anything which would induce them to drink
that toast with greater enthusiasm than usual, it was to
be found in the fact that their respected guest, Sir
James Brooke, had first distinguished himself in the
army—and had subsequently gained everlasting fame by
his services, in conjunction with the sister service.—
(Cheers.) He would not further allude to Sir James as
his services would come better before them in connexion
with another toash—(Cheere.) He would therefore give
them the" Army and Navy, coupled with the names of
Admiral Sir Charles Adam and Lieutenant-General Sir
James Law Lushingtou," who had honoured the meet-
ing with their company.—(Cheers.)
Admiral Sir CHARLES ADAM returned thanks on
behalf of the navy, and stated that it was very many
years since he had the honour of serving in India ; but
he had served there long enough to feel that piracy was a
deep stain on the
_lndian seas. That piracy had hap-
pily been put an end to by • their gallant guest, Sir
James Brooke.—(Cheers.) Whenever Sir James
Brooke had come into contact with the officers of her
Majesty's service, they had always acted together with
the utmost cordiality ; and though there had been too
much bloodshed, he was sure no one regretted that cir-
cumstance more than Sir James hirnself.—(Cheers.) At
the same
time ho (Sir Charles Adam) was bound to
any that there were no other means of wiping out the
blot of piracy from the seas of the Eastern Archipelago
than those adopted by his Hon. and Gallant Friend.
Lieutenant-General Sir J. L. Lusrterntrron acknow-
ledged the compliment on behalf of the army, and bore
testimony to the gallantry and energy of their honoured
guest.
The CHAIRMAN then rose and said that they had met
for the purpose of manifesting those grateful senti-
ments which he was sure were generally felt through-
out the community, and more especially of those per-
sons engaged in commerce, of the services of their dis-
tinguished guest, Sir James Brooke.—(Cheers.) He was
sure the gentlemen present were aware how far Sir
James Brooke had promoted the moral influence
of this country, the extension of her commerce, end the
catise of civilization, and would allow him to convey to
that gentleman, as an answer to the calumnious charges
brought against him, their verdict of acquittal.—(Loud
cheers.) He felt that Sir James had been most unfairly
and ungenerously treated by some
persons in this coun-
try, who had enueavoured to detract from his high cha-
racter for honour and integrity. When, however, he
looked around the table—when he looked at the list of
gentlemen present, comprising, as it did, a number of
Members of Parliament, and others he knew would have
been present but for the important business that evening
before the House of Commons—when he saw present a
number of military and naval officers of the highest re-
putation—some of the highest ornaments of the bench
and the bar—a number of gentlemen connected with
handtha that distinguished
tale iltheedf a
corporationlarge empire em (the East Indiawhich had within its
Company)—therepreaentatives of a corporation of equal
character and standing (the Bank of England), and
the leading merchants of the city of London—he
thought no better testimony could be borne to the
character for honour and integrity of Sir James Brooke
—(Cheers)—and that no _better answer could be given
to the attacks upon him of interested persons, or of those
morbid grievance-mongers, who, relying upon the in-
formation of others, were always ready to lend them-
selves to attack the character and reputation of public
men.—(Cheers.) It was to be deplored that parties
were to be found in the House of Commons to bring
under the notice of that House the conduct of officers
like Sir James, having difficult and arduous duties abroad,
when they had no opportunity of defending themselves.
He did not complain of the conduct of public men being
brought under the notice of the House, but he did cora-
plain of Hon. Members lending themselves to the grati-
fication of the private animosities of others, by bringing
forward attacks upon men who were devoting them-
selves to the utmost to promote the honour of their
country and the good of the public.—(Cheers.) He
would not carry them through the personal career of
Sir James 13rocke from the time when he left this

the most honourable and disinterested motives through-
out his extraordinary career.—(Cheers.) Ha did not
with particularly to allude to the extraordinary influence
c thin,
t lass
s
enjoyed by Sir James Brooke in that part of the world
in which he had cast his lot to servo, but he felt that
the time would come when the most important advan-
tages would accrue to tho commerce and influence of
England, from her connexion with that part of the
world.—(Cheers.) lic f"it that Sir James Brooke had
acted with the utmost judgment and prudence in all his
transactions in Borneo, and that he had been compelled
to adopt the course he had pursued, from the extraordi-
naryia which he
position was placed.—(Cheers.) He
held in his hand a letter from a naval officer, fully con-
firming his opinion of Sir James. That officer had been
lately engaged in surveying one of the islands of the
Eastern Archipelago, with Only six hands, when he was
suddenly confronted by as many armed Malays. Upon the
officer telling their chief that they
were Englishmen, he
asked him if they knew Mr.. Brooke, and upon his reply-
ing in the affirmative, said that " Brooke is very good,"
and placed his arm upon the shoulder of the officer, to
evince that he and his men were in perfect safety.
That showed them the influence obtained by Sir James
Brooke, who had thus made
the English name honoured
and respected, and asked them if they would be dis-
charging their duty, if they allowed the character of
such a men to be sacrificed at the shrine of a few dis-
appointed individual3.—(Cheers.) If they wanted any
further testimony in favour of the character of Sir
James, it would be found in the excellent letter of the
Bishop of Calcutta to the Church Missionary Society,
which bad been read in the House of Commons by the
Hon. Member for Newcastle. In whatever position Sir
James might in future be placed—whether as the indo-
pendeut ruler of Borneo, or as her Majesty's represen-
tative in the government of the islends, ho felt that they
were hound, as British merchants, to express their ap-
proval of that gentleman's conduct, and their sense of
his honour and integrity._
(Cheers.) He did not wish
to say anything harsh of those Members of the House of
Commons who had taken part against their Hon. and
Gallant Friend, but it had given him great pleasure to
have the opportunity of attending in the House, and
voting against the proposed inuir into his conduct,—
(Cheers.) lie had now great pleasure in proposing the
health of Sir James Brooks, With long lite and pros-
perity to him.—(Cheers.)
Sir JAMES BlteeEE
r°B3 to return thanks amidst loud
cheers, which lasted 80030 minutes. When silence was
somewhat restored, Sir Jame, proceeded to address the-
company, and stated that if anything could enhance the
pleasure with which he
regarded the manifestation of
feeling with which he had just been honoured, it
would be found in the manner in which their respected
chairman had been
t pleased to propose his health. He
did not pretend to be possessed of that species of pride
which aped
133;—ItY—he would not humble himself
that they might exalt him—he would not say that
he felt utterly uuworthy of their regard; but he ven-
tured to believe that there was something in his own
feelings and position that was honourable to English-
men.—(Cheers.)
' "neef
lv sensible as he was of the ex-
pression of opinion 01-

it was a proof to him, if anything were wanted
to convince him of the fact, that truth and justice would
always Prevail over any slanderous attacks which might
be made against the character of an honest public man.
—(Cheers.) The approval by the gentlemen present of
his conduct was no light condemnation of those who had
sought, by slanderous misrepresentations, to blast his
reputation, and in set doing bad injured their own.—
(Cheers.)

that he was the idol of a epurions popularity, and for
more than three years ho had been the object, happily
not the victim, of Misre resentation, and it was satis-
factory to him that
ni ht to find that his conduct was
so
approved by
large and intelligent a body of the mer-
chants of London. He had had both praise and blame
lavished upon hinievith ne sparing hand, and he had been
accused of every crime from murder to merchandise,—
(Cheers and laughter.) He had been held up es a
prodigy of perfection, end cast risen as a monster of
iniquity.—(Cheers and 1 e.ugh te r.) Such were the extremes
psopl© delighted in. hackneyed peliticians had -used
their best exertions to cast aslur upon his character,
but their efforts to tamper with hie character and public
t,'
morals had Lun

level.—(Cheers.) Ile regretted the course that had been
pursued, and that Members of Parliament should be
found to act as the scavengers to the vi Ts of others, or
to-become the cesspool of every foul and vile slander
that could be invented.—(Cheers.) 'geared that

the House of Commons should be made the vehicle of
bringing forward such charges year after year—that
men should be found's° ignorant of all that took place
as to demand an inquiry into matters patent to all the
world—that the deadly enemies of a man could bo al,
lowed to pervert all tee principles of justice which de-
clared that trial should precede condemnation—(Cheers)

gard to his reside') in Borneo. Threes who said that
when he sailed for Borneo, ho carried with him a deep-
laid design of patting down piracy, and civilizing that
portion of the world, gave him possession for foresight
and determination which he did not possess—end if he
denied the !statement, :t was simply because it was not
true.—(Cheers.) When ho left England, it was merely
with the view of seeing the world, and then coining buck
again; and he found a most extraordinary position of
events in Sarawak, and he took charge of a country
which the native rulers could no longer govern. He
had then everything to learn—he was a reformer in the
most extended souse of the word; but he felt that in
every country, properly to carry out reform, they roast
respect vested interest:. lie found, therefore, that he had
to govern a country the expenses of which were far be-
yond the resources. He had to lot bid the native princes
plundering the people, and to pay them himself to prevent
them doing so—to psy for the first two years for the sup•
port of a starving people, and to foster the glimmer-
ing of trade.—(Cheers.) He found a principle of unary
existing, by which no less than 24 per cent. per mouth
was charged for small loans—(fli ar, hear)—and this he
had to put an end to by paying off the sums originally
burrowed. They would pardon him for mentioning it,
but all this he did from his private fortune, as was proved
by melancholy tables of stock transferred and securities
sold to the amount of more than 20,0001., to support an
infant Government and aid a suffering people.—(Loud
cheers.) He had been accused of buying up the pro-
duce of the country, and if he did so to aid his revenue
and increase a limited fortune, he had but followed the
exempla of the gentlemen present in becoming a British
merchant—a character which he felt to be honourable to
every man.—(Cheers.) If he had suffered from that it
was because there were insolvents in the city of Linden
who were represented to him as great capitalists, and
who had relieved him of 10,0001. worth of property
which he could have spent to a better purpose.—(Cheers
and laughter.) He was relieved of that property long
before he bad the honour to hold an appointment under
her Majests's Government, and if he was now only in
possession of honest poverty, he thought it could not
well be said in what he had done he had acted
from personal motives.—(Cheers,) In spite of all he
had been able to do, and all that had been said, ho re-
gretted to state that Sarzwak boasted of a national debt
—not quite so large as that relative to which the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer of England was then giving en
explanation; but large enough to be both burdensome
and inconvenient.—(Cheers and laughter.) He had
hitherto refrained from placing taxes on the shoulders of
a rude and impoverished people—he had resisted the
wishes of others to do so, feeling that confidenee in a
Government must precede taxation, and he hoped that
the time would yet come when, feeling that they en-
joyed the blessings of good government, the people
would be ready to impose taxes upon themselves.—
(Cheers.) At all events, it was not his nature to covet
or take the earnings from the peasant's hand, even if
his skin was different to his own.—(Cheers.) The sub-
ject of piracy was a most difficult one, and one which
bad given him more trouble than any other. He found
that the inhabitants of Sarebas and Sekerran, er, in
other words, the Malays and the Dyaks, were in the
habit of making piratical attacks noon the peaceable
inhabitants, carrying off their property, and destroying
everything upon which they could lay their hands,
and he determined that the peaceable inhabitants
must be protected. Supposing there were hordes
of bandits continually making invasions on their coasts
from Brest and Cherbourg, carrying off their wives and
children into slavery, and destroying their property,
what would they do?- If they could nut make the deal
adders listen to reason, h© did not believe there was a
man to be found who would see his daughters disho-
noured and his sons murdered—who would submit to
the indignity, and go about proclaiming to the world
their coleardice and shame amongst men—he did not be-
lieve there was a man to be found from one end of Eng-
land to the other who would not rise and determine by
fence to put down the marauders...-(Hear, hear, and
cheers.) Had not the natives of Borneo—the peace-
able and industrious natives—suffered from these pirates,
and what bad been done was to sweep the seas of these
pirates, and make the law honoured and respected, by
showing that it could protect the innocent, and was
powerful against the guilty.—(Loud cheers.) As at
home, if the smuggler resisted the law, shot and
shell did the weak of pulling him down; and if a felon
attempted to escape from a policeman a tap on the
head made him quiet—(Laughter)—so, in Borneo, if the
pirates would not be quiet otherwise, they were made
to be so.—(Cheers.) lie could not sit down without
seizing the opportunity of expressing his sense of the
constant and generous support which he had received
from the Noble Lord lately at the head of the Foreign-
office (Lord Pelmerstou) through all his trials and diffi-
culties—(Cheers)—and he should be wanting in grati-
tude if he did not publicly return thanks to his Hon.
Friend the Member for West Surrey, to the Hon. Member
for Newcastle, and his many other friends, for the disin-
terested and kind manner in which they had advocated
his cause, and which left him under a debt of gratitude
to them, which he should never forget, though he could
never repay.—(Cheers) The Hon. Gentleman then
proceeded to argue that Borneo and the adjacent islands
must become most valuable in a commercial point of view,
and to express his sincere hopes that England would
never allow any other country to step in and reap the
advantages which they, ought, and might, uuder proper
Government, enjoy. He also returned thanks to the
many Gallant Naval Officers -with whom he had the
honour to serve, and who had asssisted in
clearing the seas of the Eastern Archipelago of
the hordes of pirates which long disgraced
them. He begged again meet heartily to thank
them for the honour they had conferred upon him, and
to assure them that he would [livings cheerfully endea-
vour to promote the best interests of British commerce,
whether it should be his lot to spend the remainder of
his days in the transaction of public duties, or sink into
private life in the deep solitude of a Bornoer
anexisience.

public man at a distance, and assured them that the
