Bailing out of florneo river, tie fleet swept alonpr the whole ortnern coast, taking la rapid auccemion the forts of the lliannm plrat?H who ha i limleated the murders at Brum, aud Indicting upon them a nipnnl chastisement. By this time the Sultan, wearied of juneles, sighed (or hit palace. He wrote a cringing let ter, promising amendment, agreeing to rutily all hw former engagement, and a a sign ot his true penitence was ready even to pay royal honors to the memory of the men whom tie bad slain.' Tbeie wns no further difficulty 1 in respect to the' cession ot Labvan, and It was taken possession of, De cember 24, 1M6 Mr. Brooke betnjr appointed tiOTerrior. It is said that the possesion ot this land feocs far to make England mistress of the Chinese Sea a statement easily to be credited by any one conversant with the English policy. At any rate, be who observes how, at appa rently insignificant stations on little inlands, on a maisoj peninsula mere dots on the map England has established her commercial depots at Hong-Konst in the North, at Labuan in the centre, and Singapore In the Bonth will gain new respect for the sagacity which in the councils ot the mother country always lurlw behind the redtapism of which we hear so much. ; ' AUer an absence of nine years, E ilau Brooke revisited Encland in the year 184T. - He win the Jiero of the nouf. Every honor was showered upon him. - He-was Invited to visit Windsor Castle, received the freedom of London, and' then: or soon after, was knighted. owing to his representations of the readiness of the Dyaks " to receive Instruction, a meeting was held in London, at which funds were obtained to build a church and school-houses. Two missionaries and their families were sent to Sarawak. The buildings were erected long since, and these Christian means are in full activity. Brooke's language" upon the proper qualihcatfons ot a missionary exhibits in a uriking light hisstralshtforward resolution and enlarged liberality. "Above all thines, I beg of yon to save us from such a one as some of the committee desire to see at Sarawak. Zealots, and intolorants, and enthusiasts, who begin the task of tuition by a torrent ot abuse agamt all that their pupils hold sacred, shall not come to Sarawak. Whilst our endeavois to convert the natives are conducted with charity, I am a warm Irlcnd of the mission. But whenever there is a departure from the only visible means God has placed at our disposal time, reason, patience and the Christian faith is to be heralded In its Introduction by disturbances and heart burnings and bloodshed, 1 want it not; and you are quite at liberty to nay, that I would rather that the mission were w ithdrawn." About the year 1850 Mr. Brooke became the object of a virulent attaek, continued several years, both in the public prints and in Parlia ment. Prompted originally by .the petty undue of those whose tool tor the advancement of their personal schemes he had refused to be come, this attack was taken up by u few pi?r eons of influence, who seem to have misunderstood utterly both hU character and work. He has been termed a mere adven turer. He has been accused ot avarice, of wrintring from the nntives great bums, and receiving lrom England large salaries as Consul at Borneo and as Governor of Labunn. It has been asserted that he has been guilty of whole sale slaughter of the innocent, inteflenng wit tribal wars under the pretense of extirpating piracy. None of these charges have been sub tained. On the contrary, it has beeu conclu sively shown that he has sunk more than 10,000 of his private fortune in this enterprise. The piracy, so mildly callfd intertribal war, is undoubtedly robbery, both on the mid u the land, and conducted wltli all fitting accompaniments of cruelty and bloodshed. This persecution has not been borne by its object with much patience, and, indeed, like Rob Boy's Highlander, "he does not seem to be famous for that gude gilt." "I am no tame lion to be cowed by a pack of hounds. Thee intertribal wars are such as the wolf wages against the lamb. I should like to a?k the most peaceable man in Eng land what he would do if a horde of bandits frequently burst forth from Brest and Cherbourg, ravaging the shore of the Channel, and carry ing women and children into captivity, with the heads of their decapitated husbands and fathers? Would he preach ? Would he preach when he saw his daughter dishonored and his son murdered ? And then would he pro claim his shame and cowardice among men ? What do some gentlemen expect? They par ticularly desire to suppress piracy. Do they .really imagine lhat piracy is to be suppressed by argument and preaching?" Mr. Brooke's enemies have three times pressed their accusations betore the Houe of Commons, and three times have been defeated by overwhelming majorities the last vote being 230 to 19. Finally, to end the contro versy, a royal commission was appoint ed to visit the scene of these transactions, and upon the spot to decide tbeir merits. The report of this commission has not reached us, if indeed It has ever been made public; but the practical results of it are certain. Mr. Brooke has severed his official connection with the British Govern ment ,by a resignation ot the onices which he held under it; while he retains his sovereignty at Sarawak, with the undiminished love ot his subjects and an unimpaired influence over the native tribes. There seems to be no doubt that the intellieent publiclopinion of England fully sustains him. And it Is sate to predict that with that opinion the tinal verdict of history will coincide. That, nlaced in circumstances of great difficulty, he may have takeu steps not to do squared with the nicest morality, is pos sible; for that is what must be said of every man who has borne the burden ot great public re sponsibility. Neither is it surprising that a maa of such boldness of speech and sucli almost Cromwellian vigor in action should have enemies; that is a uecessity. But that he has been a true and sagacious friend of the natives, and that his career has been for the increase ot human happiness, are facts as certain as can be. His best defense is his works. In 1842, when he took the Government ot Sarawuk, it was a feeble province, torn by dissensions, crushed by slavery, and ravaged by lawless vio lence. Now It is a peaceful, prosperous commonwealth. In 1842, its capital, Kuching, was a wretched village, whose houses were miserable mud huts or tents ot leaves, and con taining but fifteen hundred inhabitants. Now it numbers fifteen thousand an increase almost rivalling that of our Western cities. In 1842, no boat put to sea without terror. As a result, the amount of trade was contemptible. Now Sara wak has enterprising native merchants, owning vessels of two hundred tons, having reeular transactions with Singapore and all the neigh boring ports. This trade, as early as 1853, em ployed twenty-five thousand tons of shipping, anu ine export lor tne year were valued at more than a million of dollars. In 1842. deaths bv Violence were ol almost dally occurrence. Twelve years later, a resident could boast that for three years only one person had lost his life bv other than natural cauHnu. Hnnmniii American cities appear in comparison with this poor Dyak and heathen metropolis ? Well does lUjah Brooke proudly ask, "Could such success spring from a narrow and sordid policy Y" Mrs. McDougall, the missionary's wife, says: "We have now a beautiful church at Sarawuk, and the bell calls us there to worship every morn ing at 6, and at 6 every evening. Neither is there anything in this quiet, happy place to prevent our thus living in God's presence." Mrs. McDougall adds a story which shows the estimation in which the natives hold their lujth.. "Paennapiid me a visit at Sarawak. Tl Uajah was then in England. But Fa Jenna, coming into my eittiug-room, immediately copied hie picture hanging against the wall I TU nnch struck with the expression of respect i ih both the face and attitude of this nnto- fcrttfutYagc mwA mJ ntoo4 beJuxe u', o cturc. He raided his handkerchief from Hin n-ad, and. solntinc the picture with a bow, sicb as a Roman Ootholio would maketohi patron salni's altar1, wln'tpi red to hims-'l', Onr gi eat Rajah.' " And this man was a reclaimed P rat. . ' " , ' ' ; This reverential love of the natives w tne oi.e thing which does not admit ol a doubt, lhe proo!e are constant and irrrslMiblfl. St me )ears since, a lady with a few attendant was pushing her boat np a Bornean river, many Ji'iguesawav from Sarawak, when stie encoun Vied a wild Dyak tribe on a warlike ePtll0Dl The sight of more than a hundred hnlf-naked savages, crowning a little knoll which jutted tnto the river a half-dozen rods In advance ot her boat, dancing lranitcally like maniacs, brandishing their "ong knives, and yclllns all the while like demons, was not cheorfn;;. Yet t t, tioht nf the Sarawak flag rawed at the bow of the boat, -every demon stration of hostility ceased. She was over cohered by tbeir noisy welcome, and received lrom them thu kindest ' attention. A dozen years oto. at the very time that the accusation of cruelty' and wholesale slaughter of inuoeent people were most recklessly made, a party of Englishmen, and among them the adopted son of the Italah, went on an exploring expedition to the extreme northeast cornel1 ot Borneo, more than six hundred miles from Sarawak.- While they were seated one evening around their tire, the whole air resounded with the cries, "Tunn Brooke 1 Tuan Brooke I" and pre sently the natives drew near, and expressed tbeir joy at seeing a son of the etc a Rajah, and wondering that he who had so b!ed the southern Dyaks did not extend his protec tion to their northern brethren. One anecdote more. During the Chinese insurrection, of which we shall soon speak, a Malay chief, tight lug desperately apainst the Insurgents, was mortally wounded, only lingering long enough to be assured of the Rnjan's victory, and to cxclulm with his dying breath, "I would rather be in hell with the English than in heaven with my own countrymen." The loyalty of the native population was thoroughly tested in the year 157.- It was the time ol the second British war agninst Cnina. Now the Chinese are in one sense tho most cosmopolitan of races. Wherever bread is to be won or gold amassed, there they go thus becoming tcattcred all through South eastern Asia and the adjoining islands. In one aspect they are a great blessing. They are a most laborious and thrifty race, of almost in calculable benefit in the development of the material resources of a country. But in some respects they are also an element of danger. They never identify themselves with the country in which they dwell. They simply come to get a living out of It. They band themselves in secret societies or other exclusive organizations, and seem to get no real love for the land which gives them bread, or the people among whom they live. Under a pcacelul rule, this race had greatly multiplied at Sarawak. Some blanches of industry had Indeed almost fallen into their bands. E-pecially in all mining operations was their help a positive necessity. For the Dyak, though industrious enough in his little planta tion, will not work, except on compulsion, in the mines. These places ore bnter to him with the memory of forced labor and unrequited misery. Besides, he believes that the bowels of the earth are tilled with demons, and noamount of pay gives him courage to fuce these. As a result, the conduct of the mines was left to the Chinese, and they were unwisely per mitted to work them iu large companies ot seve ral hundred, under their own overseers. This gave them the advantages of a compact organi zation: to a dangerous degree they became a State within the State. When the war in China broke out, the Chinese residents at Sarawak, sympathizing wita their countrymen, were naturally greatly excited; and when tidings came that the Englisn fleet had been repulsed from before the Canton forts, they were emboldened to take the desperate step of attempting to put to death or to drive out of the country Rajah Brooke and the rest of the Etigllsh people, that they theniselve might take possession of it. About dusk ou a Febru ary night, eix hundred of them gathered under thetr chief", armed tncnifelve, went on board cargo-boats, and began to float down the river towards the capital. At midnlcrht they attacked the Rajah's house. It inmntes were loiccd to flee to the juneles. The Iiiijah rose from a slck-bcd, ran to the banks of.it.. stream, dove under one of the Chinese boats, swam the river, and took refuge with the Malays. Several of his countrymen were mur dered. His own house, tilled with the price less collections of a lifetime, together with a costly library, was burned. It was a gloomy morning which succeeded the nicht of this catastrophe. Thoueh he did not doubt for a moment the ultimate suppression of the Rebellion, what ruin might not be wrought in the few days or weeks which should elapse before that event ! And where, now that he had been driven from his capital, he should rind a base of operations to which he might gather the scattered native lorces, was the perplexing ques tlon ot the hour when, iovful sight, he beheld a merchant steamer sailing up the river 1 He imiled her. went on board, and with a sufficient force steamed un to Sarawak. With his appear ance the last vestice ot hope for the insurrec tion disappeared. Meanwhile stirrine events had taken place. At first the natives were stunned. They were roused at dead ot night, to find the Chinese in possession of the town, their Rajah's house in flames, tne itajan missing, wuue me rumui wns that he bud been killed. For a time they wan- dpred about ltstlesslv. vacantly staring each nthpr In the face, and it seemed as thoueh they were about to submit without a struggle. In the midst of this srloom and uncertainty, up spoke a Malay trader, whose veins, despite his peaceful occupation, were lull of the old pirate blood: "Are we coin? to submit to be gov erned by these Chinese, or are we going to be faithlul to our RaiHh 1 1 am no tntker, but l will never be sroverned bv anv but him. and to nicht I commence war to the knife with his enemies." This broke the spell. Both Malays and Dvaks. m cilv and country alike, rose en masse, and alter a severe fight, prolonged till the rcappeurance of Mr. Brooke, drove the Chinese to the forests, and nursued them with unre lentincr furv. Man vol' the insureent9 perished by the sword. Many more wandered about till they died of starvation. Some threw them pelves down in their tracks, exnlriug from tntigue and utter wretchedness. Some hung themselves to escape their misery. In despair and exasneration. thev even turned their arms acainst each other. 01 the six hundred who I made the oriclnal attack, sixty escaped. Of the lour thousand who comro;-ed the Chinese population, a forlorn and wearWl remnant of two thousand took refuge in the Dutch part of tbe ibiand. ibis lamentable destruction was the result neither of the order nor the permis sion of the Rajah. It was accomplished by the unreasoning iury of an outraged people. In a few days the formidable insurrection was ended. The places of the insurgents were tilled as rapidly as they had been vacated. Scarcely a trace was leit ot the ravages of the rebellion; aud It accomplished nothing, save to convince all doubters that the government of the province retted, as all stable government must rest, on the eood-will of the subject. .At the height ot the insurrection a striking incident occurred. W bile their brethren were being hurled in utter confusion across tho Dutch borders, several hundred Chinese fled from those very Dutch territories and sought rpfiicrp in Sarawak. Thoueh harassed hv rare. the Rajah did not neglect their appeal, but sent trustworthy men, who piloted them safely through the incensed Dyaks, who on tbeir part by no means appreciated the virtue of such a ton. hut tnousht. rather, that everv man "who wore a tall" ought to be put to death, though they bowed to the better ludgment of their chlet. , The latest account represent tne province as continuing in a state ol unabated prosperity. Its bounds, by more recent cessions, have been so lareely increased, that its shore line is eow three hundred miles long, and the whole popu lation of tbe ftate two hundred and fifty thou sand. The haunts of the Sarebns and Bakarran pirates are included la the new limit; and tbee nee-dreaded freebooters have karned the kablU of honest industry.

James Ilro ie, with '"increaclng years, hs re tired somewhat from tne active care ol the Government, leuvincr the conduct of affairs very much to bis nephew, Captain Brooke, whom he designated as his heir and succcwior, and who Is represented as being also heir In a large degree to his uncle's principles, courage, and ssgacity. Rajah Biooke sought persistently for many years to give perpetuity to his liie's work by placing Sarawak under British protection. He made repeated offers to surrender to the Queen all rieht and title which he had acquired, on any terms which would secure the weliare of tbe natives. But these offers have been deflnitelv re jected; the seeming protection which Sarawak enjoyed through tne position ot its ruler as Gov ernor of Labuan, has been withdrawn, and the little State left to work out unaided Its destiny. What shall be the final fate of this interesting exoerlment whether there shall arise succes sor to the founder wise enouffh tn maintain the Government so bravely established, or whether the infant State shall perish with the man. who called It Into existence, and become only a memory, it is impossible to foretell; but, living or acao, ii uunais win always ne a nooie monument to him whose force of character and undaunted persistency created It. The earlier portraits we nave ot tin ah Brooke depict him as a man of a peculiarly trank. open, and pleasing exterior, yet with a countenance marked by intelligence, thought, and energv; but underneath all a certain dreaminess of ex pression, found often In the faces of those born tor adventure ana to sees ror ine enterprise ot their age fresh fields, new Eldorados hidden in srranee lands and unfamiliar eess. The Inter portraits elve U9 a face. nlam. snara- cious, yet full of an expression of kindly bene volence. The exieencies ot a busy life h9.ve transformed romance into reality and common- sense; the adventurer and kuteht-arrant has b'lt obeyed the law of his age, and become a noble example ol the power of the Anglo-Saxon mind to organize in the face of adverse circumstances a State, and te construct ont of most unpro misine elements the good fabric of or.lerly social life.
