The gravity of the issues depending upon a solution of the situation caused by Mr. Schreiner's resignation of the Promiership of Cape Colony.. can perhaps be batter gauged by this Free Stater's candid opinion than by any estsored statement from Cape Town.
The English papers devote many editorials to the question. Those who are inspired show no desire to have Sir John Gordon Sprigge in sole power, and Mr. Schreiner in the Opposi tion ranks, for, apart from the fact that it is doubtful if he can maintain his majority, the opinion prevails at the Colonial Office, and is expressed by almost everybody corning from the Cape, regardless of political faith, that Sir John Briggs is utterly untiita in

IMPERIAL QUARTO NGLISH AND CHINESE DICTIONARY. WITH THE PUNTI AND MANDARIN PRONUNCIATION.
For comprehensiveness and practical servic this Work stands unrivalled. All the new words which the Chinese have of late years been com pelled to coin to express the unperone objects in ju machinery, photography, telegraphy, and science generally, which the rapid edvance of foreign relations has imposed upon them, ate here given in extenso. Each and every word is fully illustrated and explained, forming exercises for students of a most instructive nature. Both the Court and Punti pronunciations are given, the accents being carefully marked on the best principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the success of an attempt to make the Chinese and English type.correspond in the size of body, thereby effecting a rast economy of spaco. achieving a clearness not previously attained, and dispensing with those vast margina und vacant spaces which have heretofore charse terized Chinese publications.
To illustrate the vast scops of the work the following facts are submitted for consideration: Chalmers Vocabulary contains about 16,000 Chinese characters, and Medlarst'e English sad Chinese Dictionary about 100,000 whilst this work contains more than 50,000 English words, FURNISHED HOUSE at MORRISON and upwards of 600,000, Chinese characters.
