Differing from the rule followed at the Courts, supper was served at little tables instead of having long buffets. The men were in even- ing dress, with white waistcoats, knee- breeches and black silk stockings, the King having himself expressed the desire that this costume should be worn at all parties which he attended.
The most Radical of the Labour Party were surprised at the overwhelming ma- jority by which Mr Will Crooks(Labour) was returned as M.P. for Woolwich, which has hitherto been considered a strictly Conservative borough. There is no doubt that his victory was largely due to the discontent caused by recent discharges of workinen at the Arsenal, but, as a man who has experienced some of fortune's worst vicissitudes, and who

is himself veritably a son of the people, Mr Crooks has always appealed to work- ing men. It is seldom that a man, who in his early boyhood was driven by dire necessity to take refuge in a workhouse, is chosen to represent a certain portion of the community in Parliament, but Mr Crooks has always evinced such sympathy with the burdens of his once fellow toil. ers, that the masses have an implicit trast in him, which is well deserved. Although not an orator of any great ability, the new Member appeals to his hearers by personal incidents, as when he told them how his wife put her leg through the ceiling owing to the jerry. built houses designed with a view of pro- fit for the contractor and discomfort for the occupier.
Though the cost of making finest toilet soaps has nearly dou- bled, the retail price, in- gredients, and superior quality of Vinolia Soap remain unchanged. For the complexion.

the Navy will be an important change, and it is hoped this will solve the ditli- culty hitherto experienced of obtaining recruits. Much has been said about our food supply in time of war, and in view of this it is not surprising that four -armoured cruisers are to be built
of the very best type, because such vessels would depend the transport of food to us in England, and, in the case of a blockade, we would soon starve without their aid. Foreign Powers are no longer content with ships chielly suitable for coast defence, but now possess fleets fitted to take the offensive fur from their own country, and if we wish to keep the supremacy which has given us colonies throughout the world, we must do more than keep space with our rivals. We must year by year enlarge our fleet at whatever cost it may be.

As a preliminary observation, permit me to state that the Fotition in question is not the creation of a fow leading Chinese As alloged, but is the outcome of a very general and strong desire among the Chineso of all classes to keep H.

In the drafting of this petition, I havo. purposely and carefully avoided all allusions and statements which might be in any way ffensive or objectionable, and I think I have been successful in making no allega. tion which is not literally true and capable of proof; and therefore, I am at a loss to account for the charges that the Petition is barefaced attempt by a few of the Chinese to control the affairs of this Colony," and that the Petition contains a number of misstatements of fact which.have aroused the indignation of a large section of the European Community.' You have a copy of the Petition before you, and even at the risk of trespassing somewhat too lengthily on the space of your paper, I must endeavour to prate to you, taking the Petition pargraph by paragraph, that there is no foundation whatsoever for the charges made against it.
Paragraphs 1 and 2 contain a description of the Petitioners and the nature and extent of their intorests in the Colony. I can con ceive no objection to these paragraphs.
Paragraph 3 slates that past administra tions were characterized by justice and ability and for which the Chinese are duly ob- grateful, there cannot possibly be any jection to that surely.
Paragraphs 4 and 6 state that Sir Henry Blake's administration was the most ap- preciated and admired by the Chinese and that in consequence they seok for a contin- 86-12-74 ustion of his administration, especially at S0-380 this troublous time. I am confident 98-18--80 one will gainsay this.
