l'aesieg to what is within our knowledge, we can put
together the following fact::—Beyond all question the
co..ta 01 13orned swarm with pirates—either natives or
rovers. The whole Archipelago has been infested with
teeas time out of mind; treaties have been ar-
raeged between powerful states far their de
ruotion, and the suppression of this inveterate
pue• eat was the principal arid most overt duty
as, toned by Sir J. Bruuke in ; hie mission. He
celesta-tidy declared that the one great impediment
to a vilizatiun in these parts was the practice of piracy,
a ef diet tee extirpation of piracy must be the one great
object of any European estapiishe3ent. Nothing of
tt,is'is denier; but it is alleged that the people in
q iestieit were not pirates, or that at any rate they were
not the pirates of previous history. A German once
wrote a book to prove that Heiner was not Homer,
or that, if he were Homer, he was some other Homer,
anti not the Homer generally understood. la like
manner it is argued that Sir James Brooke's
pirates were only piratee, if pirates at all, of some ano-
malous and inoffensive de.cription, and undoubtedly
not the genuine pirates of the Archipelago consigned by
common consent to destruction. As we have already
rema, ked, the question is somewhat intricate. Touch•
inn the difference or identity, ethnologically speaking,
of Alalays and Dyaks, we have Mr. Menckton Mines
on one side, and Mr. Cobden on the other; but, even if
Desks be not Malays, we nave the deposition of a real
(usleat quantum) that the ll)aki were every
bit as pitch:el as inceself. It is not denied, however,
of these " communities of Seiebes and Sskerran,"—the
veritaule inuividuals attacked—that their habits are, to
say the least, disagreeable and peculiar. Whatever
th.ey may do at sea, they are perpetually at war upon
hied. Whatever wespons they may want, they have
eneugh, at sty rate, to tut tel the heads withal of any
ueiehoours they may catch, and these ab,cinfied members
th; y have an ugly feehion of smoking and curing. More-
ovee, they must certainly take to their boats sometimes,
f it WAS in their boats that they were overtaken; but
e.e are assured that there is no evidence to connect their
Via er expeditions with any tut unexceptionable objects.
`To t they are pure savages and practicel cannibals
every beefy aflowa, tint they were nut " pirates;'' tiointeg
so respectable—not up to any such mark, as Mr. Urqu-
hive very naively put it. Why, tnen, ohould they be
ate:: with so summarily ?
The argument of Sir James Brooke's accusers, either
expressed or implied, avers that he treated these people
as pirates in order to rid himself of troublesome neigh.
hours. They disturbed his sAtti'mEnt, twerted his Lio.
vet omen!, Lad plundered his subjects. In a regular
war after Buraean fashion they might have eltried his
pursuit, if net overmastered ni3 tortes ; co he made
them term*, fur the nonce, eniisted on his aide the ter-
'ltd., resources of steam arid powder, caught them iu their
prenue, pounded the in into cerrien with grapeshot, and
thud i,ettlei the Weir out of band. This is the !Lad
bite [refit or his aq•ged offending, and, as none knows
Su well as he whether they were pirates or not, so no-
where but in his owe conscience can he find a conclusive
acquitter. For ourselves, we ere left to gripe fir evi-
"hce in comparative darkness. The two cobfl,cting
11"41.onsla from Singapore residents show that the
,i,uestion, even there, wa4 made wholly one of party
le. ling. Tia,, negative testimonies on one aide we may
allow fur argumen rake to be set against the positive

On Friday morning this railway company gave a
plea-ure trip to their servants, accompanied by their
wives and sweethearts, in all to the number of 1,500,
as far as Edinburgh. Tne train started from Greenock
about hal-•past five, and arrived in Edinburgh at 20
minutes past 10. On the way they had an addition
at Glasgow of three carriages, making in all 31,
which were all beautifully festooned with flowers and
decorated with flags. Having arrived at Edinburgh
each took his several way—some to visit the Castle
and its environs, and others to see the preparations
that were the,. being made for the teetotal reception
on the following day at the Queen's Parks, not for-
getting to ascend the lamed Arthur's Seat, and
obtain a drink of pure water from St. Anthony's
well. Many others made still further pro-
gress by making exit from the romantic city,
visiting Hadd in gton, Dolkeith, Lssswada,
Portobello, arid Newhaven, thence to Bruntis-
land. One piny, at least, traversed the whole of this
ground, and returned again to Greenock the same
evening—so much for railway travelling now-a-
days. About tour o'clock the fair city's streets were
again crowded by the visitors, and before six (tile hour
for starting) matey of them were very ill prepared for
setting off, not having seen all their eyes would fain
have feaa'ed upon. The hour having, however, ar-
rived, a few were rather behind. We were pleased to
see the great good humour that was displayed through-
out the whole day. The immense train having
reached Carstairs Junction, a vacation of ten minute'
was allowed for recreation, where there was a good
demand for lemonade and not a little for the " ardent,"
but the place being " teetotal" they could find none
to quench the unibating thirst. It was rather amu-
sing to see the many tumblers of water that were
fetched by the more gallant to their lair partners,
more especially being met by some who wished to
share the spoil before reaching the destined aqua-
drinkers. The train then moved off and reached
Greenock at half-past ten P.M., and we are sure all
were delighted with their day's excursion, and at the
same time thankful to the Caledonian Railway Com-
pany, and to the management of Mr. Symington and
his assistants, for the kindness of the one and the care
of the latter. Such excursions as this cannot but be
conducive to the interest of the company, by creating
a good feeling between employers and employed.—

TFSTIMONIAL TO HIS GRACE Tile DUKE OF
RICHMOND —The great exertions to procure a distribution
of medals to the surviving heroes of the Peninsular, &c.,
wars, made by his Grace the Duke of Richmond, have in-
duced a subscription for a testimonial, which has been pre-
sented to the Noble Du,e. The whole, a most admirable
work of art, has been completed by Messrs. Hunt and
Roskell, and is of massive silver. The design exhibits a qua-
drangular pedestal, on the summit of which is an allegorical
group representing the Duke directing the attention of Bri-
tannia to the merits of her military and naval powers. The
Duke Is in the costume of a peer of the realm, having in his
left hand the memorial to her Majesty, while with his right
lie directs the attention of Britannia to the fiture of Mars
and Neptune. In the hands of Britannia is the war medal
which she is about to distribute. At the angles of the pedes-
tal are grouped military and naval trophies, between which are
panels containing, first, an appropriate in cription ; second,
the interview of his Grace with her Majesty in relief, his
Royal Highness Prince Albert standing on the left of her
Majesty ; third a, d fourth, the names of the engagements in
which the troops we-e engaged to whom medals have been
given. On the base are four groups, viz , two military,
the first conisting of a Light Dragoon dismounted,
Light Infantryman, a Riflleman, a British Grenadier,
and a Hussar mounted; the second of a Royal Hone
Artillery-man mounted, Foot Artillery soldier of the
line, a Highlander, and a heavy Dragoon dismounted;
two n tval, consisting of marines, sailors, and boys. The at-
titudes selected in these composi ions are those of applause
for the action of the Duke pourtrayed on the summit Be-
tween each group are panels containing the arms, and the
lower base is empanelled with two military and two naval
subjects, viz., the Battles of Vitt ria and Orthes ; and those
of the Nile and Trafalgar, which are placed at the appropriate
groups.
TO MASH YOUNG PEAR TREES BEAR.—I was af•
flicted by the sight in my garden for four or five years, of
the most luxuriant and thrifty young pear trees which would
not bear, but all their streng h ran into wood. Vexed at this,
I resolved to try the experiment of bending down the
branches, so as to check the flow of the sap. and cause them
to form fruit buds instead of wood buds. Accordingly, the
first week of December, 1847, I filled my pockets with
stout twine; I drove down some pegs into the ground
underneath my trees (which had branched low so as to
make dwarfish heads); I then tied a string to the end of
every long shoot, and gradually bringing down the end of
the limb till it curved dt.wn so as to make a considerable
bend or bow, I fastened it in that position, either by tying
the other end of the string to the peg, or to another branch
or a part of the trunk. Accordingly, to my expectation,
the tree next year changed its habit of growth, and set
an abundance of fruit. buds. Since that I have had plenti-
fulsgteld.—caHre not to let

thetorL:ndon and Westminqter Bruit. The
Original luau was ~bout 5,000/., which has been repaid to the
with the exception of the above ba.
lance. Mr. Roxburgh appeared in support of the claim,
which Mr. Hetherington, on the part of Mr. Goodcbap, the
official manager, opposed, mainly on the ground that the di•
rectors had not Abe power under the deed to borrow money
for the purpose of winding up. After a dry legal argument,
his Honour decided upon allowing the claim, being of opinion
that in the present case the directors had not exceeded their
power in concluding the loan.
