We are informed by the Secretary of the Cricket Club that a match will be played on Saturday the 14th inst. commencing at 1.30 p.m., between Treasurer respectively. Members wishing to play teams selected by the Hon. See, and the Hon.

WE (Amoy Gazette) trust that the meeting, called by the Consuls for this evening, Oct. 7th, will be largely attended, and that it will not be restricted to members of the Club. Every member of the Amoy community is invited, and should make it a point to be present, in order that the question under discussion may be fully ventilated. It is high tone that strong measures were taken to project life and property on Kulangsen, and it
FIFTEEN of the 18 prisoners charged with being concerned in the burglary at 36, Stanley Street. on the 4th inst. were brought up before Mr. Wode house this morning and allowed out in their own recognisancesofs tocach. Tam Aon and Li Angok the 16th and 17th prisoners were further remanded till the 17th instant. Some of the stolen property has been discovered in a pawn shop and the 17th prisoner has been identified as the pawner of the articles. There is very little doubt now about the talented Quincey being on the right track. Wong Aki, the 18th, prisoner in the above case was discharged and again charged with being a suspicious character. tickets and skeleton keys were found on his person, so the magistrate required him to find two.sureties in $20 each that he would be of good behaviour for the next three months. As Wong Aki's friends did not come forward, he has been treated to three month's detention as a rogue and vagabond.

THE joy caused in gastronomic and epicurean circles by a paper by Mr. Olsen on the "North Sea Fisheries" and the great oyster discoveries there will, says the writer in a home contemporary, be shared by the whole oyster-eating world. Two hundred miles of oyster-beds, thirty to seventy wide, that is to say, 10,000 acres of splendid oysters within easy distance of the Bri- tish coast, is a discovery to which all those of Stanley and Livingstone sink into insignificance. One curious feature about it is that the oysters lie at the depth of 21 fathoms, thus disposing summarily of the prevalent idea that oysters can only be raised successfully in shallow water. The man who invents a new dish, according to some, the inan who plants a tree, according to the Mahomedans, deserves well of mankind; but what is the reward of a man who discovers 10,000 acres of oysters? And yet all this is tinged with the melancholy doubt whether oysters will be cheaper in consequence.

NG ASIN and Fong Asing, coolies, were charged before Captain Thomsett this morning with at- tempting to steal a box containing personal luggage from the steamer Kangtang on the 10th inst. The first defendant who was treated to a month's hard laber on the 2nd of last month for annexing a pair of shoes, said he had nothing to do with the stealing of the box, but the evidence was all the other way, and quite sufficient to justify His Worship in sending Ng Asin to six month's hardy Lyttalion,

THE Tientsin correspondent of the Shanghai Mercury writes on the 30th ulto,:-"The British Admiral, with the German Commander, left yesterday for Peking; the French Admiral will also go. The Russian Admiral did not call upon H.E. Li on his return and left this morning at 7.40 a.m. in the Nerpa to join his flagship at Taku. It is said a general conférence will take place, but on what, subjects is unknown; to this is owing all these, distinguished visitors coming about the same time. The German Commmader called upon Li before he went to Peking. Viceroy Chang's departure, with the Dai in Kun, is post poned till the 4th October because of the return of the Korean Ambassador from Tientsin. You see it has turned out right about the Chinese troops for Annam, although it was pooh-poohed in Shanghal and berc."
The difficulties in 'pursuit of sport to be en- countered in a visit to Bornco we do not hesitate

say are many, and of far greater variety than one would meet with in most ollier parts of the world; and these, no doubt, are due to the ex- tensive and dense nature of the jungle, which at present covers so large a portion of the island. Then there is the great distance to be travelled by sea before the place in question is reached; and this long journey is in no way alleviated by the comfort one expects to find on board steamers booked for so long and fatiguing a voyage. This looked-for comfort is certainly not to be found beyond Singapore-at which point!

The general traffic therefore, for both passengers and cargo is undertaken by two dirty little steamers named, respectively, the "Royalist" and "Cleator," which not only run from Singa pore to Sarawak, but farther up the coast to the small but important British possession, Labuan Island, sixteen miles from Brunei, the so-called capital of British Borneo. From this port the "Royalist" proceeds round the north-eastern ex- tremity to the fine harbour of Sandakan, at the entrance of which a small settlement is already springing up, and thence on to the various islands of importance throughout the Sooloo archipelago, as far as Samboangan, in Mindanao.

The principal products of the country which came under my no tice were camphor nuts, gutta percha, bird's nests, oil and some of the finest timber and planking I ever saw.

Within several miles of the coast, round most of the finest harbours, and marking the positions of the mouths of all rivers and streams, lie deep fringes of man- grove swamp, where dysentery, malaria, jungle and intermittent fevers are prevalent; and a dis- ordered liver, attributable to bad food, excesses of diet, or a general want of fresh, provisions is the sad lot of by far the great majority of Euro-
