Doubtless He lios and Strathpeffer will come down in charge of the judge and the accomplished Foochow horse man; and unless "screwed up" at Amoy, Presto and Vivace will probably represent the last named port.

We beg to acknowledge receipt from the docal agents, Meidrs, Hesse & Co., of the 1883 Calen- dar issued by the Scottish Union and National Insurance Company of Edinburgh and London. The date block is neatly got up and contains much information respecting the advantages offered by the Company. Messrs. Tuther & Co.; have also forwarded us the Northern Assurance Company's calendar for the current year. The design is capital, and the general get up will beat favorable comparison with the numerous date blocks we have already acknowledged.
