ACCORDING to a 'native Japanese paper the Taniyama mine, Kagoshima Ken, owned by Mr. Shimadzu, a Awazoku, is said to yield an annual output of 505,000 yen..
A GOVERNMENT notification in the Gazette states that the Opium Dross Farm has been sold to Mr. Chun Shung, of No. 174. Queen's Road Central, for the residue of the year ending
on the last day of February, 1884, for the sum of $10,320.

FOR attempting to plunder the Dock Company of three bags of nails, a coolle named Lee Alum was this morning sent into the "Retreat" for a month's hard labor by Captain Thomscit. It would appear that Mr. Alum was very persistent in his endeavours to get away with the nails, having thrice tried to run the gauntlet with the property. The watchman stood the two first attempts in a very patient manner, merely pré- venting the theft, but on the third attempt he handed the enterprising Celestial over to the HONGKONG AMATEUR ATHLETIC jacket and the military, and won the beat after

SOME time since, says, the Sportsman, a grant of 180,00% was made by the Government to cover the claims of the Royal Irish Constabulary for arrears of pay, in order to allay the dissatisfac
tion which was beginning to make itself felt in
a
the ranks. The money was duly paid out, and every candidate's claim met, but there is still balance of twenty-five thousand pounds in hand. Thinking probably, that it would be a great pity if this were sent back into the Treasury again, the officers have made application that this surplus should be divided amongst themselves, Certainly. Let the poor fellows have it. A still better plan, however, would be to divide the money among the deserving toilers of Boy-court. A few odd thousands will make no difference where John Bull's-pockets are concerned.
CARL TINDEL, third officer of the steamship Cassandra, having instructed a coolic who was working on board his vessel to coll up a piece of rope, was answered in very bad language by the coolie who would appear to have been in dulging in sam-shu. The third mate not caring about having his authority set at naught by a coolie, seized the impudent fellow by intention of teaching him better manners than the "scruff" of the neck, doubtless with the
to use "slack jaw" to a ships' officer. Tindel's course of action did not appear to meet with the approval of the coolie's chums, as they set on to the "son of the sea" and trounced him with their carrying poles. Low Achick was the most energetic of the thumpers and he was eventually secured and run up to the Central Station. Fourteen days hard labor, on short grub, will doubtless convince Mr. Achick that walloping a ships' officer with a bamboo pole is not at all a paying game.

The fourth annual amateur athletic meeting under civilian auspices was held on the Cricket Ground on Saturday afternoon, and proved pro- bably the most successful gathering of the kind rather chilly, was favorable for athletics, the ground was in first rate order, the attendance of spectators unusually large, the fields for the various events sufficiently numerous and the finishes close enough to keep up the excitement, whilst, the management and arrangements generally were everything that could be desired, and a vast improvement on those of previous meetings.
