Detail  Lately. On the coast of Borneo, Mr Robert Burns, grandson of the poet of that name. He was murdered by pirates, in Malada Bay. The vessel in which he served (the Dolphin) was wrested from the pirates and delivered over to the commander of the Hon. Company's steamer Pluto by a Bornean chief, who in former days, before the influence of Sir James Brooke was felt in these seas, would no doubt have kept counsel with the pirates and shared the spoil.
