Distinction of Pirates.— -By a letter from 11.M.5. Jgincourt, dated Manilla, 3rd Sep., ire learn that the squadron consisting of the Agincourt, Vestal, Daedalus, Crvizer, Wolverine, Vixen, Pluto, and Nvmesis, had attacked at Malloodoo Bay, the pirate chief, SerifFHousman. The boats of the squadron succeeded in taking his forts, being three in number, and mounting altogether fifteen guns, they destroyed the town, and all the goods they came across. The boats were under ih« fire of the batteries, while forcing the boom, upwards of fifty minutes, at little u ore than 200 )ards distance. Our loss was six killed, and fifteen wounded, two of the latter since dead. Mr. Pym, of the Vestal, was wounded in the back part of the thigh by a grape shot, but not dangerously. Mr. Gibbard, a mate of the Wolverine, was' killed. The loss ou the Agincourt alone was four killed, and six wounded. The loss of the enemy could not be asceitained, as they carried the bodies away immediately into the jungle, but it must have been cotuiderable. Two Aiab chiefs aie known to have been killed, and SseriffHousman himself to have been carried oft'lhe field dainidously wounded in the neck. The squadron were to sail lor Hongkong, on the 41 h September, from Manilla.— Port Philip Herald, Dec. 11.
