One of the coolies employed by Messrs. E, D. Sassoon & Co. in conveying cases of opium to the godown on l'eddar's Hill, met with a rather ugly accident at 9.40 this morning, by tumbling off the wall between the godown and the Ger- man Club, into the area below. The coolle was
sitting on the wall, the top of which is in a bad state of repair, when, some of the inose and broken brickwork giving way, he was precipitated down the area backwards, falling upon his side. a height of about eight feet, which caused blood to flow from his car. The man was taken to his home by his friends, and although, it is thought, not very seriously injured, will not be able to resume his occupation for some time.

We learn on reliable authority that the appeal to the Lords in Council in the cause célèbre, Graça v.

We happen to know that Governor Graça's action in bringing the matter into the Law Courts in the first instance has been severely censure, as being undignified and indiscreet, There appears to exist fairly good grounds for the belief that, if the glaring immoralities connected with Fan-tan and Vey Sing, which have made Macao so notorious, had been subjected to the fierce light of public criticism In England, as inevitably would have been the case had the Graça v.

LARGE. FIRE AT NINGPO.
May 2nd, 1882. Last afternoon at about 5 o'clock a very dis- astrous fire broke out in the S.E. suburbs, in the locality known as Chiang Hsia. It had its origin in the Ting Fung-hsien Huo-hang by the upsetting of a candle during some chin chin Joss proceedings. The Ting Fung-hsien Huo-hang is a largish shop for the sale of salt fish, situated in a smalt alley-way called the Pau-chia-loong, which runs from the main river leading out on to the same just by the street down to the Fung-hua branch of the
fish market Favoured by a good S. W. breeze the flames spread rapidly, and were only arrested by the fire walls for which Ningpo is justly famous. The fire burnt wildly for about four hours and razed to the ground over zoo houses in a very wealthy quarter of the town, including a large hotel, six large fish-salting depots, four well to-do native banks, four smaller cash
exchange shops, two large rice shops, and two large fruit shops. The damage is roughly estimated at 20,30, or even $40,000. No lives are reported to have been lost.
for the comfort and convenience of visitors will be carefully arranged. Chiarini's circus is unique in the number and character of its attractions. The legitimate circus performers, equestriennes, clowns, acrobats, gymnasts, etc, etc., present a varied array of talent, probably unequalled in any part of the world; and with a celebrated stud of trained horses, a capital band, and a rare and costly collection of wild animals, besides other attractions far too numerous to be mentioned in detall, Chiarini's entertainments should prove red-letter days in the history of the colony. That Chiarini's enterprise deserves success cannot be doubted; that it will receive extensive patronage in Haagkang we feel perfectly confident.
