If, therefore, they offer a prize of $100,000 in a $5 lottery, their gullsi must first pay them in the sum of $200,000, in the shape of 40,000 tickets bought at $6 each. If one person gets the $100,000, then 39,099 people get nothing whatever for their money. But people overlook all this in their eagerness to buy $100,000 for $5, and the consequences are very vicious.

Hon. Sec.,
The British steamer Chefoo, Capt Wil. with a general cargo for Shanghal. She lists, left this port on the 18th instant put back on the afternoon of the 21st instant. The following is her report -
"On Tuesday the 19th instant at 3.30 a.m. the vessel struck on Ockseu Ieland, the weather fortunately being fine, and the ses smooth; the Light on the island was seen before the accident, but in consequence of the fog then prevailing the distance was very deceptive.
We are laformed that the passengers, two officers, and a number of the Chinese crew abandoned the vessel, and she was brought back by the Captains and the remaining officers, to whom great credit ia dne, as it was mainly owing to their indefatigable exertions that the steamer did not become a total wreck.
Some cargo was jettisoned and the fisher. men on the Leland were not slow to avail themselves of such an opportunity to enrich themselves. The exact extent of the damage beached with a view to ascertain its nature, The entire cargo consisting of angar and general merchandise is damaged."
By the Harbour Master Notification in another column, we note with pleasure that Capt. N., Moallo of the firm of Mosere. Moalls & Co. has been unanimously elected Harbour Pilot for Amoy. We congratulate Capt. Moalie on his new appolotment and
A telegram has been received from Naga- saki, announcing the safe arrival at that port on Thursday last, of the steam-launch Lily, built by Messrs S. C. Farnham & Co., which left this port on the 17th instant, under the command of Captain H. S. Low- rence, having, as we understand, been sold to Japanese. To say the least, the voyage was a plucky one in so small a vessel.
The M.B. Co.'s str. Tokio Muru went up to Tang-ka-doo Dock on Saturday evening to repair the damage caused by hor collision with the Haean, which vessel we are in- formed, will also be dooked. Both steamers are considerably damaged, and in conse quence the departure of the Tokio Mara has been postponed till the end of the week. We hear that steps are being taken to amicably settle the question of responsibility for the damage done, and so avoid the necessity of legal proceedings.
The Mercury says several changes are about to be made in the location of the Cus- toms Commissioners. Mr C. L. Simpson is to be transferred from Chefoo to Kinkiang; Mr Hughes is to go to Chefoo; Mr Klein- wachter has gone to Ningpo.
