Eventually Lord KIMBERLEY submitted, considering the Colonies had no voles in the settlement of the contract, and were not in any way de- pendent on the mail service, and under all other circumstances, that if Ceylon the wealthiest and most populous colony, were called upon to contribute £4,700 per annum, the contribution to be asked for from Hongkong and the Straits Settlements should at least not exceed that amount.

AN amusing incident occurred a few days ago at a wedding at a village church near Stafford. The officiating clergyman was about to perform the ceremony when, chancing to glance upwards, he noticed in the gallery several persons wearing billycock-shaped hats. Addressing them, he said, "Gentlemen,, remove your hats." There was no response. The request was repeated again and again, and, not being complied with, the clergyman in a great heat ordered the clerk of the church to ascertain the names of the offend ers. Before he got there a lady in the congre- gation rose and informed the minister, amidst laughter, that the persons alluded to were ladies wearing gentlemen's bats. The ceremony was then proceeded with.
