Our Singapore Correspondent informs us that Colonel Brereton of the Royal Artillery, who anived here in the Bragarea, will ultima tely proceed to Borneo to join Mr Brooke, after having consulted with the Admiral on the sub- ject of fortifying Labuan and Sarn-wak. Simold There prove to be no foundation for this report, there can be little doubt that what is anticipn- ted therein, the subject having attracted atten- tion in England, will at no distant period be fully carried out.

The Hindhavana Steamer got ashore in a dark night in a place where the "Memnon" was lost (Cape Gardefin) Captain Moresby had just time to get the paddies bucked and thus got the vessel off, after which she proceeded to Sue where Captain Moresby left her and went Overland to Europe On the return of the Hindosten to Galle Captain Lewis of the Braganza took Command of her, so that the Command of the latter vessel devolved on Mr Mundy the Chief Officer.

At this late peried of the session with a long and angry controversy in store, it is impossible not to desire that the postponement might have been avoid. 50 We can only hope that all sides will now see the necessity of interposing noidle and frivolous ob- ptacles in the way of a fair discussion.
