MURDER OF THE GRANDSON OF ROBERT BURNS
BY BoRNEo PIRATEs.--Mr. Burns, whose evil
dence was often quoted in contradiction to Sir
John Brooke's assertions respecting the Borneo
pirates, has fallen victim to his confidence in
the native character. The Dolphin, a vessel OF
which Mr. Burns was supercargo, had been ira
ding in Maludu Bay, n gulf situated ut the north
eastern angle of Borneo, some leagues above
Labuan, the seatof Rajah Brooke's Government
As she was preparing to leave she was hailed by
two prahus (prows) offering goods for sale, and
she accordingly dropped her anchor again till the
next morning. Pursuant to their intimation,
the natives came on deck and produced their
commodities which Mr.. Burns proceeded to ex-
anime. While he was thus engaged the chief
of the prahus suddenly drew concealed kreese
and struck his head from his body The captain
who was pacing the quarterback, received at
the same time blow in the cheek,whch wound
ed but did not disable him. He scrambled to-
the bowsprit and begged hard for life, but the
crew Of the prahu, under the vessels bows,
drove their spears through his back, and he fell
dead, into the water. The pirates, after butch
ering four more of the ships crew, including a
woman, carried off their prize, and anchored off
Benggaya, in Labook Bay, not far distant. AS
it happened however, they were disappointed in
the selection of their anchorage; for the Sheriff
or Chief of Benggaya, Yassin, by name, on rec
ognising Mr.. Burns schooner, took possession
of her, and carried her up the river. Shortly af-
forwards, the Hon. Company's steamer Pluto,
on cruise after pirates, called in at Maludu Bay,
and, on hearing the intelligence, departed at
once for Benggaya, where she received the Dol
phin, from the hands of Sheriff Yassin, with her
decks still dyed with blood. That Mr.. Burns
incredulity was sincere, there can be no ques-
ton, though he had been repeatedly warned Of
the danger he persisted in his voyage, without
even the precaution of getting up the ships arms
from the hold, where they were slowed but
this temerity is the more remarkable from the
vividness Of the apprehensons displayed by one
whose means Of information were at least equal
to those of an English trader Sheriff Yassin
earnestly besought the commander of the Pluto
to furnish him with protection against the re-
turn of the pirates, who, as they had plainly
threatened, would, he said most certainly reap
pear with powerful force and avenge them
selves for the loss of their prize Neither was
there any doubt about the race or country of
these sanguinary marauders They were Bor-
means, from district well known and within
easy reach, and the Pluto in fact, was actually
in quest of some such prey when she received
the intelligence which dispatched her to Beng
gaya.

NORWAY AND SwEEDEN.-In Finmarck, which
is the remotest northern region of Norway, al
most in the Arctic SHOWS, a revolution is now
raging, which, although purely religious, is at
tended with all the disastrous circumstances Of
political troubles. The inhabitants of this des-
olate region, persuaded by Missionaries of some
sect whose tenets have not transpired, have re-
pudated Christianity and especially the seventh
Commandment, banished the Priests, and now
adopt the doctrines of the Missionaries, who
profess to have received them directly from
Heaven.
The Bishop of Drontheim, in whose diocese
Finmarck is situated, Immediately upon the in
telligence, dispatched two of his clergy to the
scene of excitement, who were instructed to
show the inhabitants into what errors they had
fallen. These gentlemen arrived and found that
the report was less startling than the actual
state of things. Universal detection reigned in
Finmarck, labor was abandoned, the Churches
were deserted and the pastors driven away. In
the streets and in the houses, men, women and
children lay upon the ground, with their gar
nents torn, their heads strewn with ashes and
bitterly lamenting that until then they had lived
in false faith, ignoring the true God and mer-
ting eternal suffering The eclesiastics dis
patched by the Bishop apprised him that the
fanaticism was so obstinate and the confusion
so profound and universal that they saw no 9TH
er means of preserving the peace of the coun-
try and saving the inhabitants from their own
fury, than the Intervention of the military pow
err In consequence of these representations,
the Governor of Drontheim has dispatched a
high officer of Police and an armed force to Fin.
marck. The result of the movement is not yet
known. n. Y. Tribune.

all unite in caucus on Friday evening, preceding,

in favor of moral and intellectual, rather than
political qualifications in the candidates, so that
we may unite on a Supervisor and other officers

~ Above this article may be seen the call

at Steels Landing, the object of which, is to
elect delegates to the State Convention, to be
held in Detroit, on Wednesday, the 2Sth day of
April, as noticed in the call at the head of this
column. This County Convention should be
fully represented, as it is the incipient step in
the Presidential campaign, which the approach

towns come up to the scratch in this matter
meet early in caucus, elect working energetic
men; and generally manifest zeal in the dem
ocratic cause-a cause worthy Of your vigor-
Gus and protracted efforts which shall double
and redouble, until the choice of the next dem
ocratic National Convention is felicitously seat
ed in the presidential arm Chair, at Washington.
t" We are hard up for matter in the edit

First in consequence of the absence Of our eX-
editor, who is attending the trial of the arson
case, at Grand Rapids, and secondly in conse-
quence of failure in the mails. Why did not
our mail carrier exert himself as much to give
US mail, as he did the past week TO furnish a
boat for number of passengers and quarter
of fresh beef for one of our citizens! We
would like, this side of two weeks more, q lit
tie fresh food for the mind-a little fresh mate
rial for our paper, and little fresh news for our
patrons. This weeks issue, numbers three,
since we have had a mail, two of which are now
in the Post Office. In the meantime, our pat
rons must be patient with us, in failing to APP
pear before them regularly, which has been un-
avodable in consequence of the papers lying
here uncalled for by the mail carrier, who must
account to uncle Sam, and not to us for the de-
lay. The roads continue bad-brdges down
&c. The water has fallen several feet at this
place, and the ice banks have disappeared. The

My DEAR CONSUL: Such are the necessities
and fraities of human events, that after all the
Mississippi will be at Marseilles within n week.,
with Kossuth.
The devil seems to possess This gentleman.
He contemplates leaving the ship Mt that place,
with his wife and children, for England, and to
join her again in twenty days thereafter at Glib
raltar His determined wilfulness is unconquer-
able, and the ship will speed to your city within
few days. He is utterly ungovernable, and
am compelled to hasten him out of this country.
He is like irebrand. The whole bay was H.
Illuminated last night Bands of music surround
ed the steamer, and he was always ready for ap-
pause.
The public authorities are alarmed to utter
confusion, and they run about the streets having
all the appearance of somnambulsts.
