ture-could not be conducted owing to the orowds of boats which shut out the appro- achos to the whart But Mr Maskean Gned the defendant Company in the sam of 35; which means, we suppose, that the native boatmen will have it all their own way. When these somewhat noisy and quarrelsome native boatian crowd up the wharf, bustle each other, and get up fights, little or no notics is taken of them. But when a Company like the P. & O, which really ought to have special privileges eo corded to them-if not the privikges no corded to men-of-war-and certainly should command some special consideratica at the present time, until their new offices and. wharf are built, an guilty of a technical breach of the Regulations, then the Polies are well up in the performannes of their dn. ty. There seems to be a good deal of in- consistency about this sharp pedure, and we believe that it requires only to be mentioned to present any further an- noyance to injustice.
THE MARY L. STONE. We understand that intelligence reached this port yesterday afternoon, to the effect that the Amarisao ship Mary Jo Stone, reported badly ashore on a bank të reef in the Mindoro Stmit, had got off, and ar- rived in Manila kaking slightly, It was believed she would probably come to Hong- kong for repairs.
