THE FRENCH ARME
A rosy belonging to Mr. F. 1. Sassoon broke away from the Chinese boy at Pok-fo-hum this morning, and with the basket trap to which it was harnessed, started for a run to Hiungkong on its own account. The pony would appear to have accomplished this exhibition of its independence without any mishap until coming near the 727e-public. The money required is a little over graph office, from the direction of Wyndham Street, when the trap came into collision with one of the trees which line the western part of the road leading to the Telegraph odice, tuning over twice, the pony also coming to grief in the side channel, where it lay for some time app rently unable to rise, although divested of its incumbrances. It was thought at first that oue of the animal's legs bad got broken in the fall, but this, happily, turned out not to be the case, and after some inciting the pony got on to its legs, seemingly hide the worse for its mishap. The basket trap sustained considerable damage, one of the wheels being smashed topicces, the glass lamps being also broken. We hear there were several children about the scene of the ac- cident at the time it occurred, this spot being a very favoured ante for the youngsters of the neigh bourhood to congregate, and it is fortunate that

The Central Police compound presented a lively appearance this afternoon There were several hundred jinricshas waiting to be licensed and branded, while a motley crowd of Chinese jinricsha owners, male and female, and coolies were busily engaged pushing their machines for- ward in order to get away quickly.

This peace effective consiss of men baring served a portion of their five years, another portion of them a period varying from eight to twelve months, who are only dismissed from attendance when they are thoroughly efficient in their drill. The Gendar merie and Garde Républicaine are all old soldiers, and are at all times available on an emergency for active service in the field, so that for war purposes they must be included in the effective strength of the army; but in addition there is the first ban, as it may be called, of the Reserves ned of the Territorial Army.

The Chinese Mandarius greatly enjoyed the perfomances. The Taoni especially admired Mdile. Zaze's exhibition on the flying trapeze. The Faust Brothers as the three musical clowns, were highty thought of, and Eugene Faust was called be fare the Taotai's box, and received a paper, pre- senting him and Mdlle. Zazo with some crackers and sweets. The performances of the tigers and elephants were greatly admired, and the Thotai gave papers to three men in charge of the animals in the menagerie, presenting 100 loaves of bread to one, 40 calties of beef and mutton to another, and 200
to the third, for a special Chinese feast to the animals. The Total also expressed his thanks to Signor Chiarini, addressing him in few words of which we have received the fol lowing translation:-"I thank you very much for the exceedingly nice reception you have given me and my officials, and for the very fine per. formances in which the artists of your company excelled so much. I wish you specially all suc- cess in Shanghai, and prosperity to you and your company wherever you go hereafter."
This morning (July 7th) Ms. Scott, Her Britan- nic Majesty's Vice-Consul, sat as Assessor in the Mixed Geurt. Our reporter, who has had several years' experience of the manners and customs. observed there, was smoking a "little devil" when the Assessor took his seat on the bench, and he continued to smoke, knowing that it is the rule there. In fact the fragrance of a cigar is a good antidote to the prevailing perfumes inseparable from a crowd of greasy Chinese coolies, to say nothing of the filthy state of the Court and its adjuncts. It has always been the custom to smoke in Court our reporter has not infrequently been handed a cigar from a Foreign Assessor on the bench. The Magis trate always smokes; his cigar-case and box of Tandstickora constantly at hand. During the great Swatow Opium Guild case, when the Tastai Liu, Chen, H.B.M's. Consul and e-Consul, were on the bench, and two foreign lawyers pleading before them, smoking was permitted; in fact free cigars were handed round, either by Mr. Chen or the defendants. It is therefore rather curious that the British Assessor-who is himself an inveterate smoker, as be may daily be seen about ten o'clock coming through the British Consular Com pound with a briar-root pipe-should have stood so high on his dignity this morning, as to salute our reporter with this gentia hint:
