as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful art'cles
of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can be seen at 114,
116, and 120, Regent street, and 22, Cornhill, as also THE TREBLE
Garment, or PALETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the
characterifitics of the famed Paletot (registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65)
in its exterior, and has theadditional advantages of being convertible
from a warm to a light Overcoat, or vice versa, at the pleasure of
the wearer. or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re-
mire. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre-
elated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in
this variable climate. fIIE NICOLL has been secured by Royal

"Sir,—l have much satisSaction in communicating to you the re-
mit of my experience after repeated trials of Frampton's Pill of
llealth ; and I feel it ba i nstice to state, that in the course of many
years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results
at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from
redundant bile, Ste. &e., with so little inconvenience ; am there-
fore warranted in Esc.,
that they supply to me a means lent
wanting of being rhle to recommend to families, schools, and espe-
cially mercantile nisei, whether at the desk or on the road, a most
valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making
Frampton's P:.li more generally known and appreciated.—l am,
reilectiully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH."
The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest
recommcndatiens of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary. They
are not nut forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is
but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well
known attendants, Bilious and Sick Head-ache, Pain and Oppression
after meals, Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in the Head and
Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Lass of eppetite, Wind, Spasms, &c.
Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary
effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels arid Kidneys will rapidly take place ;
and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance,
strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age,
will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying each box.

THE EXPEDITION AGAINST THE

barbarians had been most complete. Of one hundred
and twenty prahus which it is said started on the ex.
pedition, and all of which were in the bay on the
preceding evening, more than 87 were destroyed, and
the loss of life on their side must have been immense
—indeed, it has been placed as high as 1,200 men.
On our part, saving a few slight casualties, all were
unscathed. The observer was compelled to ask him-
self could destruction so immense, success so complete,
at least one-third of this ruthless horde sent to their
account, be effected in a space so brief, and with a
European force so small ? Had success attended the
prates our fate was certain. No more convincing in-
stances of their inhuman disposition need be cited than
the fact that the bodies of women were found on the
beach on whom they had wreaked their vengeance.
They were all decapitated, and the bodies gashed
from the shoulder to foot. These are supposed
to have been captives taken by the pirates on
the expedition from which they were returning. It
was afterwards learnt from a Malay prisoner, that the
piratical fleet had gone out in the confident belief that
the Malays of Sarawak would not act against them
during the Ramadan or Mahomedan fast month ; and
that after plundering Palo they had gone to Si Maring
and from thence to Mato, which they attacked, seizing
on the voyage two trading boats, one from Sarawak to
Singapore with a cargo of sago, and the other coming
from Singapore to Sarawak with piece goods. Very
large numbers of the pirates escaped into the jungle,
where they were pursued by our native auxiliaries.
On the Ist August we were rejoined by the steam-
tender, and received the information that Sir James
Brooke would join us on the following day. On the
2d, the native force having arrived, we weighed and
proceeded up the river, where we anchored on Fri-
day the 3d, at eight A.M., having ventured as far up
an unsurveyed river as was thought prudent. At
noon the larger prahus were anchored inshore, and
the smaller prahus with the steam-tender and men-
of- war boa's 'proceeded up the stream, and an-
chored the same evening off the site of Paku, the
town formerly destroyed by Captain Keppel, in
1843. At day-light on the morning of Saturday the
4th August, the further ascent of the river was
prosecuted and the town of Paku destroyed. The
steam-tender was prevented from reaching this spot
by the immense trees which extended across the
narrow and tortuous-stream, in ascending which the
men-of-war boats had to be carried over or depressed
under the various natural and artificial barriers that
existed every few yards. She then returned to a
village a few hundred yards lower down the stream,
and destroyed it and a large prahu secured on its
banks. Commander Farquhar hearing guns, dis-
patched the Nemesis's cutter with orders to lie by
the steamer during the night. She, however, com-
menced the descent the same evening, steam being
up, and reached the Nemesis at nine on Sunday
morning, with one European killed and two wounded,
bringing intelligence of the death of the two sons of
the Orang Kaya of Lundu, two of the bravest of the
native chiefs, who had been cut to pieces by the
pirates on their first landing in the jungle off the late
piratical settlement of Paku. The boats returned from
Paku on the morning of the 7th, and it was deter-
mined by Sir James Brooke to ascend into the Sarebas
territories by the Rejang. The Nemesis then pro- 1
ceeded to the mouth of that noble river and wooded,
and was joined by the native boats on the 9th.
On the 11th, sufficient wood having been procured,
we commenced the ascent of this river, and proceeded
upwards until the 14th, when we anchored off the
Kanawit river. On the 16th, the European boats,
small steamer, and native prahus were dispatched to
ascend this river, which occupied two days, and the
whole of the settlements on either side were totally
destroyed. A few prisoners were secured, but the
major part of the inhabitants betook themselves to the
covert of the dense jungle. Amongst the captives
taken up this river was a child, whose perfectly
white skin and fair hair would induce the belief that
it was of European extraction. This little innocent
will be brought up amongst the small family of
orphans under the - charge of the lady of the Rev.
Mr. M‘Dougall, the excellent missionary resident at
Sarawak. On the evening of the 18th the Rance
returned to us witi several men sick with fever,
and one poor fellow with a barbed spear through
him, which it was found impossible to extract with
safety, and which was therefore filed off level with the
back ; very slight hopes are entertained of his re-
covery. The native and European boats, the
former laden with goods recaptured from the Sare-
bas I)yeks, rejoined us on the succeeding morning.
At noon we were again under weigh, and at 4 r sc.
anchored :abreast of the Po 6, the natives of which place
had been aiding and abetting the Sarebas men in their
predatory excursions, but as the chiefs promised to
refrain from connexion with the Sarebas pirates in
future, the town was spared, Sir James Brooke fining
them and taking one of their principal men as a
hostage. and also bringing away some brass guns.
All having been amicably arranged, on the morning
of the 22d we started on our return, and were some-
what alarmed on arriving off the Kanawit for the
safety of the steam-tender and gig which had been left
here, but during the day we discovered them proceed-
ing downwards. On arriving at Rejang a supply of
wood was speedily procured, and on the 24th Sir
James Brooke, who had quitted his native boat and
embarked on board of us, was landed at Sarawak.
Mr. Crookshank, who had joined us up the Rejang
off Kanawit, brought intelligence of an attack of the
Sakarrans on a fishing village at the mouth of the
Moratabas, and of the murder of five of its inhabi-
tants, several others being seriously wounded. He
also communicated the pleasing news that the
Mtcander had been seen by him off Tanjong Po, and
all were most anxious to welcome Captain Keppel to
the scene of his former exploits ; but the expectation
of seeing him was soon put an end to by the intelli-
gence that the Meander had sailed for Singapore.
Such are the particulars of this most successful
expedition, in which a steamer, steam-tender, and
seven men of-war boats, with a European force of less
than 150 men, and the small band of native auxiliaries,
totally destroyed a piratical squadron consisting of
upwards of 100 large prahus, manned by not less
that fifty men each. They fearlessly ascended for
days into a country unknown to them, tracking the
evil-doers to their inland haunts, and destroying their
houses and ill-gotten treasure. Commander Farquhar
and the officers under him proved themselves worthy
representatives of the noble service to which they
belong, by the courage, coolness, and perseverance
with which they I dlowed out their dangerous, severe,
and exhausting labours, and the Nemesis added
another to the daring and successful exploits for
which she has become celebrated in maritime annals.
The rewards which are due to skill and bravery will
no doubt be awarded in ample measure.
The cases of fever on board the Netnesis and Alba-
tross are, we learn, numerous. This, however, was
to be expected, since thirty-two days in open boats,
subjected alternately to heavy rains and a scorching
sun, are more than sufficient to produce disease in
climates more healthy, and more congenial to Eu•
ropean constitutions, than that experienced in Bornean
rivers.

On the occasion of the departure of her Majesty's
ship Albatross, after her recent successful expedition,
Captain Farquhar and his officers gave an entertain-
ment to Sir James Brooke and the European inha-
bitants of Sarawak. After dinner, Captain Farquhar,
in an able and complimentary speech, proposed the
health of Sir James Brooke, which was enthusiastic-
ally pledged by his numerous guests assembled. Sir
James's reply was in substance as follows :
" lie felt deeply the honour which had just
been paid to him ; for several and different reasons he
prizz.si this compliment greatly, and in returning his
thanks he would take this opportunity of refuting
some statements which had recently appeared in a
Singapore,nevvspaper." After mentioning his reasons
he proceeded thus :—" Ile would treat the matter
without passion ; it was very evident that the person
who furnished those statements had been present
during the expedition, and he would acquit him
of any malicious intention in offering his crude
and ignorant observations to the public, without
having positively ascertained the truth or false-
hood of what he so rashly advanced ; he need not
add that these statements were false and baseless,
and must have emanated from a most ignorant person.
This greedy informer has doubted whether the
people of Sarebas, residing on the Rembas river,
attacked through the Kaluka were pirates, and has
made one or two as extraordinary statements as ever
emanated from ignorance, and which were greedily
set forth to the discredit of a public paper. Every
statement there made is recklessly false or shamelessly
distorted ; he would notice one or two of the most
striking examples, and if on reading this confutation
from a person whose hands are officially tied, he re-
avers his statement, he must be a rascal indeed. It
is there said that four peaceful and unarmed men
were &Toyed aboard the small boat called the Ular,
and subsequently slaughtered in cold blood ; the fact
being that they were fully armed, they were people
of Rembas, and after wounding two of the Ular's men,
were killed resisting in their own boat without a word
being uttered by them. They had some sirih ; but
Is a pirate the less a pirate because he sells crum-
pets ? Then again, it is said a single toothless old man,
floating on the river, was barbarously massacred ;
the fact was that he was in his war costume, return-
ing from a head hunting expedition at Sassung ; he
was a large powerful young man, and fought despe-
rately to the lest; and :night be not ask, how would

COLLECTION OF THE HOP Durr.--The Lords of
the Treasury have decided not to call upon parties for
sureties for the payment of the second moiety of the hop
duty for the year 1848. The following circular has been
issued by the Inland Board of Revenue to their collec-
tors:—" Sir,—l am directed by the Board to acquaint
you for your guidance, that in all cases in which the
first moiety of this hop duty for 1848 shall have been
paid, bond without surety may be taken for the second
moiety, observing that although the condition of such
bond will be for the immediate payment of the same, yet
the Board will grant indulgence, and not enforce such
payment before the 15th October, 1850, except in the
event of circumstances occurring which may in any case
induce them to apprehend that the debt will be endan-
gered by delay. In all other respects the regulations
already fixed are to be observed. lam to add that the
several supervisors in your collection have been ac-
quainted with this order, and directed to make it known
to their respective districts.—l am, Sir, &c., W. STAN-
TON. P.S.—The requisite bonds will be forwarded to
you in due course, by the storekeeper at this office."
THE WRECK OF THE APOLLO STEAMED,.—TbO
boilers of this steamer, which sunk in Northfleet Rope,
many years since in a collision, have been recovered
within the last few days by the excellent arrangements
and indefatigable exertions of Captain Rowlands, the
principal harbour-master of the port of London. It will
be remembered that several accidents have occurred in
raising the ship, and that on one occasion the Water-
witch steamer sank on the wreck of the Apollo in an
unsuccessful attempt. Almost everything, however,
bad been recovered except the boilers, which are between
60 and 70 tons weight; but now, with the aid of lumps,
lighters, and gear from her Majesty's dockyard. Sheer-
ness, Captain Rowlands has weighed the boilers, and
has landed them near Grays.
