ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or, PEARL DEN-
TIFRICE, a FRAGRANT WHITE POWDER, prepared
from oriental herbs of inestimable virtue for preserving and beauti-
fying the TEETH and strengthening the GUMS. It eradicates
tartar from the teeth, and thus lends a stlutary growth and freslmess
to the gums. It removes from the surface of the Teeth the sots of
incipient decay, polishes and preserves the enamel, imparting the
most-pare and pearl-like whiteness; while, from its salubrious and
disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and perfume to the breath.
Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective powers
scurvy is eradicated from them, and a healthy action and redness
are induced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus rendered firm in
their sockets. As the meet efficient and fragrant aromatic Tooth
Powder ever know, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has for a long series of
years occupied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns
and the Nobility throughout Europe. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

These waters were introduced to the notice of the public, as their
invention, by the testimony of the Professor of Chemistry (the laic
Robert Percival, M.D.), in his lectures in Trinity College, Dublin,
and from that period have continued to obtain the recommendation
of the Gentlemen of the Medical Faculty, and the approbation of
thepubtic
The SINGLE
and DOCBLE SODA WATERS derive till names
not from the quantity of fixed air which they contain, but om the
proportions of Sal Soda, which, when prepared in the PECULIAR
MANNER employed by
A. and R. TLIWAITES and Co., renders them highly useful to
the powers of digestion, improving the appetite,
warming the
stomach, and stimulating the hepatic functions.
The above kinds of SODA WATER are exclusively prepared by
them, and are not manufactured by any other house in the KING-
DOM.

THE ISLAND OF LAIITTAN..
rThe following is a copy of a letter which has been ad-
dressed by the late commandei of the Wolf to Mr
Brooke.] •
H.M.S. Iris, Polo Pi'lte TT. April 6, 1847.
Sir,—Having on the 18th of .6181 eh been superseded in
the command of H.M.S. Wolf, and in the charge of the
station of Labuan, I think an account of the present state
of affairs at Brune will not be uninteresting to you.
I enclose you a copy of a letter which I addressed to
the senior officer relative to the discovery of a fine scam
of coal at the north end of Labuan. Specimens are on
their way to England for the purpose of being properly
analysed; in the meantime the report of the ship's black
smith and of the cook is highly favourable.
Numerous examinations of the interior of the island
show that the soil, or the greater portion of it, is a
light yellow clay.
I was at Labuan daring a dry season, and although
many of the streams had ceased running, our wells never
failed us, nor did their supply decrease. I therefore
conclude that by increasing the number of wells an un-
limited supply of good water may be obtained. Native
information leads me to believt, that there are but two
creams which never fail—one being the water all near
the north point, and the other a stream on the west side
of the island.

Bullocks, poultry, fish, and vegetables were always
abunda-t at mud Jade pr;ces, the average cost of beef
being 2d. a pound The inhahilauts of the Kalliaa river
are the principal purveyors, and 1 thought it right to visit
them. and cement the friendly feeling which had berm
between us. It is a fine river, and abounds with the
Nepa palm (which does not grow in Labuan), but of
which the greater portion of a Malay's house is built;
the towns on the banks contain 7,000 or 8,000 in-
habitants. After passing the town of 'Wiles, the river
flows on under the name of Kapala Panger, and enters
the sea opposite Pulo Tiga, thus making the land which
forms the east side of the Labuan Channel an island ;
this passage is much used by the natives during the
north-east monsoon.

The first English vessel was cleared and loaded with
Borneo produce in a very short time, realising a large
profit to her owners. One more had arrived at Lahuan,
and three were on their way from Singapore at the time
of my leaving. The competition among them will, of
course, soon lessen their profits, but will, on the other
hand, encourage the Borneans, and the trade will soon
find its level. Until Labuan is colonized this trade will
be carried on at Borneo, it being the residence of the
Makhodas. But a. I have known of native vessels being
wind bound ten days at Muarra, Labuan will, evidently,
eventually have great advantages.
During my stay at Labuan I made a point of con-
versing as much as possible with the natives, especially
the Nakhodas and traders. Their gratitude for the pro-
tection off ,rded by our presence is unbounded ; they
now have no hesitation in sailing singly, whereas in
previous years they had been_ obliged to go in large
squadrons for mutual support. Since Sir Thomas Coch-
rane's operations, last year, piracy has been unknown on
the coast ; it is certain that the Illanoons have retired
to Toongkoo on the east coast ; some few who have in-
termarried with Badjows still remain, and have begged
our forgiveness.
In the middle of February I heard from the Sultan
that Hadji Samen was in Brune and creating distur-
bances, and the Sultan said he was not strong enough
to bring him to justice. I immediately went up with all
the force I could muster, and finding the Sultan would
be satisfied, I obtained the sigoa,ure of Nakoda Rahsid
to a document making him responsible for the good be
haviour cf Hadji Sarum and his followers. This Nak-
hoda is a rich man, and supports the Hadji. It was clear
to me that the Sultan was more afraid of offending you
and Sir T. Cochrane, by allowing the Hadji's residence,
than of any personal injury from him.
Upon being relieved by Commander Grey, who has
but recently arrived on the station, I left letters with
him, detailing with minuteness all that had occurred
since last autumn, and upon your arrival at Labuan, I
have no doubt he will show them to you, although there
will probably be little in them that you are not already
acquainted with.
Wishing you every success and support in your phi-
lanthropic undertaking.-1 have the honour to be, Sir,
your obedient servant,
(Signed) L. G. HEATH.
To James Brooke,
Esq., her Majesty's Agent.
