The objects of this Company are to carry or mining, agricultural,
and trading operations in the Eastern Archipelago, and the acquiring
and disposing of lands in the Island of Labuan and the parts adjacent
—a region abounding in mineral wealth, most fertile in all the valu-
able tropical productions, and very happily situate for the purposes
of commerce.
The Island of Labuan has been formally taken possession of by the
Crown of Great Britain ; and, by a treaty with the Sultan of Borneo,
many highly important advantages are permanently secured to this
country. Piracy in the eastern seas will now be effectually suppressed,
and, under the protection of the British flag at Labuan, a new era
as regards those regions, has commenced, which affords the most fa-
vourable opportunity for successfully accomplishing the objects of this
Company.
To those who are at all acquainted with the Indian Archipelago, it
is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantages to be derived
from this undertaking. The important discovery of an abundant sup-
ply of excellent coal on the mainland of Borneo, in the immediate vi-
cinity of Labuan, is a circumstance which of itself would render this
enterprise pregnant with themost beneficial results. A formai grant
of this coal, extending through a district of about 150 miles, has been
obtained from the Sultan of Borneo, and is, with the approval of her
Majesty's Government, now held by Mr. Wise, with whom arrange-
ments for its working will be made.
The working of the coal mines will form an important feature in
the operations of the Company,
The geographical position of the Borneo coal districts in relation to
Our Eastern possessions, and to the steam communications which are
now earned on, and others which are about to be carried on in con-
nexion therewith, is a matter of peculiar interest, and even of na-
tional importance. Tke Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company, for instance, disburse more than 130,0001. annually for
coal for their steam-vessels, of which sum about 90,000?: are ea-
pended in coal used to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope. This
coal. as well as the requisite supplies for the steam-vessels of her
Majesty's navy, and for those of the Honourable East India Com-
pany on the India and China stations, is at present chiefly furnished
from England, at an average cost exceeding 335. per ton ; so that the
expenditure by her Majesty's Government, the Honourable East In-
dia Company. and the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the sin-
gle item of coal, will be considerably reduced as soon as the opera-
tions of the Eastern Archipelago Company are sufficiently matured
to admit of their supplying the several depots which have been esta-
blished at Hong-Kong, Singapore, and other places, with coal for the
use of the many,British and Foreign sto,.m-vessels re-orting to those

ports.
The certain increase in the consumption of coal in the eastern
seas, from the causes already mentioned, and the opening of other
channels of demand, cannot fail eventually to augment the use of
Borneo coal. The projected steam communication between Singapore
and our Australian colonies—the probable communication by the
same means at no distant period, between the various British settle-
ments to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope and the west coast
Of America—as well as the system of railways now about to be esta-
blished in India—are events eminently calculated to occasion an
immense consumption of Borneo coal, the more so as it can be sup-
plied at comparatively moderate rates. Samples of the Labuan and
Borneo coal have been bresight over to this country by Mr. Wise,
and submitted by her Majesty's Government to a careful examination
and analysis by competent parties, with a most satisfactory result.
The Borneo coal has also been pronounced by the Calcutta oat
Committee, appointed by the Bengal Government, to be equal to the
best English coal ; and Captain Wallage, in his report on the supplies of
coal obtained from the seam at Labuan, for the use of the Honourable
East India Company's steam-ship Nemesis, dated Sarawak, 10th
June, 1847, observes—" I have no hesitation in stating that the coal
received at Labuan is equal to any English coal I have seen on board
steamers in India, and decidedly better than any coal worked in
India for steam purposes."
The portion of territory contemplated for the first operations of the
Eastern Archipelago Company possesses a climate aid soil admir-
ably adapted for the culture of cotton, tobacco, sugar, coffee, rice,
nutmegs, pepper, and other valuable peoductions, and is most
favourably situate, having the advantage of Labuan, now sOject to
British dominion, as a point d'appui ; nor can there be a doubt of
the excellent position of the proposed field of enterprise for an ex-
tensive and lucrative commerce. The proximity of Java, Sumatra,
Siam Cochin-China, Hainan, Manilla, Celebes, &c., is not only of
great, importance in this respect, but also as affording the means of
introducing with facility from those places Chinese and other cold
nists, and labourers to any extent required for the service of the
Company. Labuan itself will form an essential link in the chain of
our easternsettlements, from Penang, Malacca, and Sinsapore to
Itong Kong ; and in the district of Sarawak every protection and
encouragement will be granted by Mr. Brooke in furtherance of the
Company's objects. In short, every circumstance justifies the anti-
ciiation that the late proceedings of the British Government relating
to Borneo, if followed up with vigour by the operations of the pre-
sent Company, will change that which has been heretofore a region
of piracy, lawless violence, danger and desolation, into a scene of
busy, peaceful, and beneficial commerce; bringing the advantages of
progressive civilisation to a large and fertile tract of the globe, and
conferring extensive benefits on the commerce and manufactures of
Great Britain. The philanthropist and the statesman, as well as the
merchant, will thus feel interested in this design, which, through the
medium of British enterprise, sanctioned and protected by the wis-
dom and decision of the Government, promises the amelioration of
the condition of the natives of the Indian Archipelago, amoi whom
there exists a disposition most favourable to the development GI the
resources of those countries.
The view here taken of the promising character of the undertak-
ing is not hypothetical, but is the result of the arduous personal re-
searches ef various individuals, who, in times past, have been de-
sirous of widening the circle of commerce and civilization, and,
among others snore recently, of Mr. Wise, who has tor several years
devoted his time to the closest investigation of the subject. To his
patient and indefatigable perseverance for a long period in calling
the attention of her Majesty's Government to the importance of
Labuan as the site of a British settlement, may be ascribed the fact,
that the protection of our flag is now extended to countries so important
both in a political and commercial point of view.
The Queen has appointed Mr. Brooke Governor and C. mmender-
in-Chief in and over the Island of Labuan and its dependencies, as
weal as her Majesty's Commissioner and Consul-General to the Sultan
and independent chiefs of Borneo. These measures, arid the course
of poll .y which they indicate, will materially foci itate and advance
the objects and interests of the Company throughout the Eastern Ar-
chipelago.
The Company being incorporated by Royal Charter, the responsi-
bility of each s'iareholder is limited to the amount of its subscrip-
tion. The cherter provides for the execution by the shareholders of
a Deed of gettlement, to be approved by the President of the Board of

IILAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Afi Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar,

York,

" To lir. Thomas trout.

" 14th Juno, 1547

" Sta,—having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advic,... I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of ltlair'e Gout and Rheumatic Fills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was sufTering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished
the box. I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, bat have also very much improved my general
health I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism • and t:ey all speak
highly of the- benefit they have received from ;hem. It' you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderhil medicine, 3 ou are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Slr, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member
of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c.
Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
nointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which whenn
Used in moderation iv fraught with advantage, becomes, en
abased, the Prolific source of mischief and of greater or loss iruury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
.he natare and consenuence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are ProductiVe of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains as accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Phyi.iology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
required the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health,
and of tire physical capabilities of w:tich every man should
be pomessed. It unfortunately happens that thy unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether squired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the roach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that aceurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, lava-
rtably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who oan show by his posse.sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect In his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
enrtifY, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
Naw Yonfr, FEU. 12.—The question of peace
cr war, and the manner in which hostilities are
to be terminated, is daily undergoing the most
exciting discussion within the Halls of Con-
gress, and occasionally beyond those halls.
There is no longer any doubt as to the hopes
and views of the President and his advisers ,• the
annexation of the whole of Mexico to the United
States is the great object of Mr. Polk. In the ex-
pectation of accomplishing it, he will put at hazard
his own overthrow and the overthrow of his Cabinet
Ministers.
The law to raise the additional regiments, yet pend-
ing before the Senate, is a part of the machinery, by
means of which two things are to be effected :—first,
the annexation; second, the re-election of Mr. Polk.
This law, as I have heretofore stated, would place
at the disposal of the President 500 or
600 appointments. These commissions would be
issued with due regard to the pliancy of the indi-
viduals thus commissioned, and with an understanding
that their political services, in reference to the two
objects above stated, would be forthwith required,
and for this purpose they would be immediately
employed inathegeirmeecnrutißtiinlgl

under discussion
in 'TtheheTSeennate five or six weeks. The Administra-
tion urges with great earnestness its prompt passage,
apprehending advices from Mexico of a pacific
character. Its fate in the Senate, on a final vote, is
doubtful ; but in the House of Representatives there
is no doubt. It will be defeated.
The next important pending question is the Loan
Bill. It is before the House, in Committee of the
whole. The original Bill provides for 18,500,000
dolls. It will be so amended as to reduce it to
16,000,000 dolls. It is the wish of the Administra-
tion to have the Bill so modified as to authorise an
issue of 8,000,000 dolls. or 10,000,000 dolls. in Trea-
sury notes. To accomplish this great efforts will be
made, but from present appearances unsuccessfully

made.
There will be a long and probably exciting debate
as to the terms upon which the loan may be granted.
The Whig party will oppose a higher rate of interest
than 6 per cent., and any sale or sacrifice of stock
under par. In the present position of the money-
market, on these terms the loan will not be taken.
It would be, however, if intelligence of a pacific
character should be received from Mexico indicating
and
de
war. Under these growing feeling in the Whig

hostilitystrong
circum-
stances the party will refuse, as far as their votes will
go, all appropriations for carrying on the war, with a
view to new aggressions, for the purpose of conquest
and annexation. You will perceive, in the Senate
debate a fluttering in the Locofoco ranks. Mr. Cass
and other leaders of his party deny any wish to annex
the whole of Mexico. But these denials are considered
as mere words, and words of an evasive character.
Everything in relation to Mexico and Mexican
affairs is enveloped in mystery and uncertainty. It
may be considered as decided, however, by the ruling
powers, to hold, for the present, the territory our
army has conquered, and to compel the people of
Mexico to supply and support the conquerors. For
this purpose the whole revenue of the country will be
collected and expended by American tax-gatherers.
The operation has commenced, and it is said with
success. How far Mr. Polk 's anticipations on this
subject may be realised a few months will de-
cide. It is understood that both the President and
his Secretary of the Treasury are sanguine that
when they have their whole machinery in operation
they will be able to realise at least 20,000,000 dolls.
per year, but no intelligent man of either party hopes
for one half this amount.
There is great commotion in the Government ranks.
Mr. Polk is pulling down his generals, but especially
those who may in a few months, if not weeks, stand
in his way as candidates for the Presidency; and
notwithstanding appearances and declarations to the
contrary the great question which agitates both
parties, and for the time being smothers all other
questions is, " Who shall he our next President ?"
Both the great political parties have resolved to
have a convention to nominate candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice-President, and they have fixed the
day when these conventions shall meet and proceed
to nominate. The friends of General Taylor, and
the General himself, so far as I am informed, pe-
remptorily refuse to receive s party nomination. How
long they will continue in this novel position is very
