Load Muskeray has always a watchful eye for the interests of British shipping: bat his recent interpellation in the House of Lords with regard to the coastal trade of the Philippine Islands did not result much encouragement for British shippers. His Lordship himself recognised the hope lessness of expecting any concession from the American Government; but used the caso as a warning to British legislators iu dealing with other places at which British interests are supposed to be threatened. He had in mind the question of wharfage at Hankow, with which subject we have already dealt, and have no mure to add than that Lord MUSKEREY, as seems clear from the reply of the Narquis of LANSDOWNE, was cuisted in supposing the cases to be on all fours, or oven to possess any similarities, The wharfage reservad at Hankow for British shipping is not the whole of the
