AN ASSAULT.
THE CHILA MAIL.
Mr Ngohoy, with regard to what Mr' Denays had said, admitted that before this action was brought, some correspondence had passed between the parties, but the letter the defendant wrote to the plaintiff purporting to be an apology really made the matter wome.
His Lordsbip: That was a privileged communication about which I want to hear nothing.
Mr Ng Achey had made the explanation to show that plaintiff did not come into Court from a vindictive motive.
Me Donnys stated that as soon as be saw the name of Mr Ng Achoy on the back of the summons he told him that if he could suggest any better form of apology he would be only too happy to recommend his ollent to sign it. Fince then he had had no com- mudication whatever from Mr Ng Acboy, although he had promised to communicate with bim on the subject. No damage what ever had been caused to the plaintiff; he could prove that by Mr Bain,
His Lordship said a point in the case would be, whether there could be a libel without special damages.

The news this weak as to the cholera shows that it has ceased in Kloto, that it has much diminished in Osaka and logo, whilst in the Kanagawa Ken the mortality averages about 20 per day. Considerable Irritation has been caused by the over- zealous action of the police in dealing with patients suffering from, or suspected to be suffering from the disease, and the Mainichi Shinbun states that anonymous letters have been sent to the police stations, threatening the lives of the policemen and medical officers, and warning them to be prepared. The Mainichi is very prolific with rumors and canards, but it is undeniable that a very strong popular feeling exista against the authorities.
In consequence of the rise in the price of rice, a number of the low or class of people resident tu Nagamachi, Osaka, came to the determination to compel the rice merchants of the locality to give them rice for nothing, Hearing of this, the merchants at once took steps to remove their stocks to places of security, and matters were beginning to look very serious at last advices. No fur ther intelligence has yet been received ou the subject.

It ought not to be in the power of any set of delegates sitting under the wings of their respective Governments, but really the mere representatives of the interests of a gigantis monopoly, to pass in secret laws affecting the conduct of business all over the world, as well as the liberty of in- tercommunication with some of the most important depondencies of the British Crown.
