How much reliance may be placed on our contemporary a statements may bo judged from the muddle he makes of the list of officers commanding the various cruisers. Capt.

We are glad to hear that the Now Canton Club gives every promise of "proving a most useful institution.
The Club building is pleasantly situated on the Shameen, and has beon furnished throughout in excel- lent style. The Reading and Billiard
ooms are well fitted up, and with Chinese Insurance Company, $312/ comfortable bedrooms, and a first rate cuisine, visitors to the City of Rams, who may be accorded the privileges of visitors, will have little to complain of.
Naval Review at the Bogue
Forts.
The Admiral in Chief of the Vice- roy's squadron held a grand review of the vessels under his command at the Bogue Ports on Sunday last, the 16th day of the Chinese moon. The fleet, numbering 16 vessels, included the gun-boats and war junks usually stationed in the Pearl River. After going through a series of naval manoeuvres, detachments from the various craft landed, and
ftor exercising in companies were put!?
rough big gun drill, and rifle
prac Ee at a target up to a distance of 600
rds. The shooting atthis range is eported to have shown a great im- provement on previous trials.. Ex- periments were made in different ways with torpedoes, with eminently satis- factory results. The fine vessel, de- signedby Mr. Wan, and built under his superintendence at the Canton Ar- senal, took a prominent part in the review, and the experiments tried with her monster 18-ton gun, sur- passed all expectations. Considering her class, this boat. The Terror of the Eastern Seas, is probably one of the most efficient warships in the whole Chinese Navy, and she certainly re- flects a vast deal of credit on her constructor.
LATEST COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE One O'clock, Thursday,
June 16, 1881.
Mail morning is usually a quiet one in the Share Market, so-there-is very little of importance to chronicle. Docks are still on sale at 53 cash, and some small amount of business has been transacted at that figure, and at 531 for July 1st. Banks are rmer than they were yesterday, and lthough there aro still sellors at 97, this stock, to our way of thinking, has an upward tendency. With the excoption of the Ice Company's Shares, which led to business at 126 both yesterday afternoon and this morning, there is nothing elso worth specially alluding to. We append corrected list of quotations.
