The North Borneo Trouble, The letter which we publish today from our Labuan Correspondent shows that the natives of the West Coast of Borneo have not been particularly impressed by the punishment mated our to them by the British North Borneo Company, and art by no means so peaceably disposed towards that body as could be wished.

As our Correspondent points out, the raid on Putatan is most probably due to the fact of the station being left entirely in the hands of Sikhs, who without a responsible British officer to restrain them would doubt- less find the temptation to feather their own FOR MANILA.,

An interval of ten minutes took place and gave the audience an opportunity of inspecting the animals composing the menagerie. There is a fine collection, considering the fact that they are carried about by the Company. Some beautifully striped tigers are caged and crowds soon gather round the cages. Whilst on the subject, one cannot help admiring the horses which are brought into the ring. The Arab horse which Mrs. Harmston-Lore introduced is a fine specimen and is worth going simply to look at. They have some other horses which are the reverse of ugly, and which would do" credit to a prize exhibition, Elephants, monkeys, ligais, horses, ponies and many other kinds of animals are exhibited, and nobody can regret the time they spent at the circus last night..
