Canton, September 21st. NEWSPAPER, SUPPRESSED. Some time ago I reported that a newspaper called Tin Man was suppressed the second day after its Bral bene. Since then the proprietors have re-opened the journal again under a different name. The paper was again promptly suppressed and the editor placed under arrest. The reason is said to be that this paper has shown considerable revolutionary tendencies.

The railway to Canton is to be opened next wook, and the beginning of the through trafle will be wstobed with more than ordinary in berost. "The novelty ought to attract a good many, but after a week or so a steady traffe: should develop. It is anforizmate that the mail way commences at a time when business is not too brisk in Canton, which is still suffering from the recent parest, but as the months pass normal conditions will return and then will be the time to apply a test which can be regarded on fair.
A feature of the railway is its time table The letters am, and pan, are no longer required, for instead of looking for 1 am, we should† search for 13 o'clock. This system undoubtedly has its advantages, but it will be found a trifle irksome by conservativo Britishers who dislike having to put any fresh strain upon their think. ing apparatus,
The advise of the railway authorities to be at the station twenty minutes before the train starts is perhaps necessary at the terminal stations, but it can hardly be needed at the allor places of call. To wait twenty minutes seems a long time to the foreigner, but the Chinone are not likely to worry over it. I am reminded of the story of the old lady who rashed brontbloss on to the platform and asked When's the train for Manchester?" "In three bours' time" osma the reply. "Thank goodness I'm not lato," she ajaculated as she sank on to a seat.
Some time ago I heard whisper that the working arrangement of the steamboat owners opersting on the Canton River was likely to end soon.

I hope I won't be hurting the susceptibilities of any sons of the Principality if I refer to a paragraph which appeared in a Home paper. It began "I was not using obscene language; I was talking in Walsh to the people behind the bar. Not being a linguist I have to take it on trust that there is some association between the two ideas, though I mast confess that there hare been oorasions when I have heard Chinese spoken which saggested that decidedly bad language was being employed. Is it a law, of thought that when we do not understand the language used we immediately conclude that something nasty is being said? It certainly looks like it.

Sie, Strange na it must room to any lawyer he has given the least consideration to the matter, it would appear from Mr. Bowley's letter in your issus of to-day that ho actually believes in the case he was instructed to bring Before the Magistrate, and in the letter adscialon, In arriving at that decision, and in convicting Mr. Apear of temuing a Macao back-note, the Magistrate ignored altogether the full explana tion by Lord Coleridge of the meaning of theor- pression "prapared to take them up" used by that learned Judge in his defuition of "issue" Just as a little knowledge ia in dangerous thing, so is it also dangerous in a Court of law to quote, in support of a contealion, a few sentences reported judgment, without car. from a
those sentences are construed in a totally taining that in another part of such judgment different manner from that which is confended. So, in the authority for his decision quoted by Mr. Hazeland, the word "prepared" was ex- plained (though so explanation was really necessary) to mean that those who gave the notes made themselves tinble to the person to whom they gave them." The bankers, in the case cited, who gave botes against value received, Lord Coleridge said, were bound, to the persons to whom "the notes were
given, to give cash for them"; and hence, he said, they fell within the definition of " issuing ".
All this portion of the judgment of Lord Coleridge was pointed out to the Magistrate on the hearing of the case, but, in the long interval which elapsed between the hearing and the delivery of his decision, -he evidently forgot this fact. Had he given it his consideration, it was plainly impossible for him to quote the full judgment as an authority for the conviction, fer he could not decide that Mr. Apcar, when
