On Sunday, a Gentleman was robbed of his watch in one of the back streets, but the thief was caught and severely bambooed by the Shop-keepers. The Mandarins have been unusually severe in their punishments of late as many as three hundred men having been executed in one day!!

the officer of the watch at the time the attack was made-moreover we have been informed that the men on board the Young Hebe had created a false alarm on a previous evening, and their actual danger, had it been fully known to the officer of the Hestal, might not have secured them, that assistance which is at all times, and under, particular circumstances, so promptly and cheerfully rendered.

A Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court commenced on Monday last-there are forty two cases on the Calendar, baş none of a very serious character, sixteen have been already disposed of: in one case the prisoner was in dicted for stealing a biscuit, and after suffering two months imprisonment, was found not guilty, and discharged.

Formal possession has been taken of the Is. land of Labuan; as is usually the case in all new possessions within the trupics, where a thick jungle has to be cleared, we fear that much sickness will prevail for sometime in this settlement we regret to hear of the death of Captain Gordon of H. M. S. Wolf, on the 6th inst, from an attack of fever; several sea- men have died of the same malady, and othera have been sent down to Singapore, on the sick list.

By the arrival of the Bintang Anam st Ma. cao, advices liave been received from Manila to the 22nd ultimo, by which we learn that a very extensive and destructive fire occurred there on the 17th Jamary; we have no dutail- ed account of the catastrophe, but five hundred houses are said to have been destroyed within a few hours...
