SIR JAMES BROOKE AND THE
INHABITANTS OF SINGAPORE.
The following address has been addressed to his
Excellency Sir James Brooke, K.C.B.:—
" Sir,—We, the undersigned, residents in Singapore,
having observed with deep regret the attacks recently
made on you through a certain portion of the public
press here and in England, not merely against yourself
personally, but against your public measures for the
suppression of piracy; and as it is evident that these
have originated in Singapore, and from the absence of
contradiction have gained partial currency in England,
we feel it due to ourselves, as connected with this set-
tlement, thus publicly to disclaim all participation in
such sentiments, which, as well as the spirit of personal
hostility which they indicate, we unequivocally condemn.
" We beg to express our opinion of the inevitable ne-
cessity which exists fur the suppression of piracy on the
coast of Borneo, and our approval of the measures which
you have adopted to effect this. It is our conviction that
it is the bounden duty of our Government—on principle
as well as policy—by considerations of humanity as well
as by the obligations imposed on us by the treaty of
1824 with the Netherlands—to extirpate piracy in the
Archipelago wherever it is found, and thereby secure
to the peace fal and industrious protection against the
ruthless attacks of these ravage hordes, whose formidable
expeditions it has been proved beyond question are not
those merely et* tribes against tribes, but are the syste-
matic combinations of organized and professed pirates,
seeking only the destruction of life and property from
mere thrust cf blood and rapine.
" We may regret the necessity which, on the per-
formance ot this duty, is imposed on you of exacting se-
vere punishment, but we are satisfied it is inevitable, and
that while the duty must be fulfilled, at whatever cost or
sacrifice of life, your well-earned reputation for huma-
nity and mildness of rule offers the best guarantee that
in all your proceedings justice will be tempered by
mercy—a course of policy which we firmly believe has
never been and never will be departed from by you.
" We beg to offer our hearty congratulations to you
on the great success which has hitherto followed your
vigorous measures, and ve e trust that in carrying out
your enlightened views you will not permit yourselt to be
influenced by hostile comments founded on misappre-
hension, from whatever quarter they may emanate. Our
experience, acquired during a residence of many years in
the Archipelago, forces on us the conviction that neither
commerce nor civilization can be extended while piracy,
in its present formidable extent, exists.
" Entertaining these sentiments, it was with much ea-
tisfaction we hailed your return to Borneo invested
with political functions, one of the first fruits of which
has been an advantageous commercial treaty with
Sooloo ; and e e look forward with confidence to youi
future career being characterised by the same determi-
ration to uphold and extend British influence in the Ar-
aipelago, by friendly intercourse with peace ful native
:totes, not less than by resistance, where occasion calls
for it, against encroachments on the national rights of
Great Brian by other Powers.
" We have the honour to be, sir, with great respect,
your mot t obedient servants,

THE LATE FATAL EXPLOSION OF NAPHTHA IN
TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD.—YeAerday a highly respect-
able jury were empannelled at the British Queen public-

T. Wakley, M.P., touching the death of Robert Cook
Moore, aged 12 years, who died frominjuries he bad
received by the late explosion uf naphtha in John-street,
Tottenham-court-road. Mrs. Charlotte Moore, the
mother of the deceased, deposed that the deceased died
in the Univrrsity College Hospital, on Friday morning
last. He met with an accident on the previous evening,
about half-past five o'clock, and witness saw him about
half an hour afterwards, and bis body was frightfully
burnt. His arms, legs, hands and face, were completely
disfigured. The deceased was quite sensible, but did
not say how the accident occurred. The Coroner said
there was another boy injured, and witness replied, the
deceased's brother, aged 10. The Coroner asked if he
said how the accident happened ? Witness replied in
the affirmative, and said the deceased and his brother
were alone in the shop at the fir.e. The shop wag very
dark, and the deccas d Hai going to fill the lamp, which
usually burnt naphtha. The deco ased held the can
which contained the naphtha, and the lamp in the other
hand. The deceased's brother tt)od at his side, with a
lighted match in his hand, and while the deceased was
pouring the spirit into the lamp, the youngest said the
tamp was full and running over. The deceased said it
was nct, and on looking at it he chew the lamp close
to the light, and the spirit immediately ignited and ex-
ploded with a loud report. The Jury thought there
was no blame attached to any person, and returned a
verdict of "Accidental death."
