SIE-The failure of Mr Hennessy's ex-
traordinary prosecution of the tug-boat Fame must have afforded immense satis
faction to all housst and right-minded men In this Colony. It was generally felt that the law had been strained for a certain purpose, and that purpose not a creditable one, and consequently everybody felt grati- fed when the Governor was so summarily and unexpectedly checkmated.

This register, in the ordinary course, would have been renewed on August 24th of the current year, and arrangements for the renewal had actually been made." The illness of the Secretary of the Deck Com- pany, which eventually necessitated a trip to Japan, doubtless caused the date of renewal to be overlooked, and when the omlation was discovered, the register, which had to be endorsed by the Governor

A correspondent writes from Shanghai:- "The coming races promise to be an almost unexampled success. The lotteries are not to be taken as any indication of public interest in the turf: they are organised for the sole benefit of owners and jockeys, and and are not in high favor. But even these tests of public interest are showing a clear revival, and there is evidently an increased supply of magic coin, wherewith to gladden
