Shanghai has adopted. There is a very comical difference in the returns at the end of a month to the recipient of only a small screw' when he Bums up the outlay for " soothers." The cost of a "medical comfort" in Shanghál for cash h invariably twenty per cent less than by the chit method, though the one may be just as good ay the other. The comical side of the matter is worthy of attention and practical use here, and is especially recommended to the consideration of the frequenters and proprietors of the refresh ment stand at the Theatre Royal. It makes all the difference between four and five out of a Mexican during a visit there at present while we want to see as often as possible these gairty novelties in Hongkong given by the present Company. wi ose comicalities, by the way, I am not going to pirate, even if they do make use of my tobogan ing idea in a comical sense. But
It is comical to think that after the Praya is reclaimed there will be a chance for a new route along it, with a possible chance of avoiding actual touch with the crowds of Chinese, that congregate on the existing Praya and do not permit persen with any clothing on to pass along, or to get a sniff of air during the hot evenings. It would be very comical if some reasonable régulation were made and enforced to permit sonic few spaces to be available for the use of others than naked Chinese. Time is an important item to some few people in Hong kring, and there are few here whose lot is cast in rather too hmited a circle. A longer and minte extensive knowledge of this wonderful has convinced me that my idea of the comical concentle ring principle, which I wrote about some weeks ago, has to be considered from a more extended point of view, for starting frons the lower ring each containi circles revólv: ing round their own centres, and there are still rather ton many inner circles without a centre that is calculable, or at least is very difficult to find. The nearest approach to an illas- tration of Hongkong society I can see is one of the Chinese balls within balls; the uninitiated how they are puzzled to find out consir cted, their centre being almost invisible. It seems very comically consistent with the character of Hongkong generally to suppose that the inventor of the balls got the idea from the formation of Hongkong Society, for it would Hefy the ubiquitousness of the most comically critical discoverer to ascertain the cause and purpose of its present formation, or its origin either, not to speak of the actual practical value of it to the Colony. There may be some value in it, but it is so comically disguised as to be beyond the recognition of

Last night he offered us the Gaiety Burlesque of "Little Jack Sheppard." I would ask Mr. Sheridan if he ever any Miss Farren, Miss Marion Hood, Miss Wadman, Mr. Leslie, or Mr. David James in the piece at the "Gaiety" afraid he has nut, because his production resembled it so little. Surely the Galety music is better than that which Mr. Sheridan gave us. And then we only had part of the or four ongs--that were in the original Now, where could he find a better song for himself than Blueskin's "Leave all the business to me ?" Then in the Tavem scene in the Mint, he said he would give us the convict song in four verses; we got two, in which the words were wrong in several instances. Considering that it is a song that goes well, this was a mistake from a manager's pint of view. Then why did Miss Whiteford give us her songs instead of Miss Farren she plays Miss Farren's part, why not play it? Then Miss Hare, who, I think, played Miss Wadman's part, gave us a song in pince of a sweetly pretty one cut out, which I take for a selection from some of the songs Miss Farren has sung us during the last 7 qr years. But why not have learned the correct words? If the song was intended as a burlesque tion was bad, and gives to the author little on the other songs, which I doubt, the composi- credit. I speak rather strongly on this subject because i had the pleasure of seeing "Little Jack Sheppard" 45 times or more, and only heard last night about 10 lines of the original text, and for this there is no excuse for Mr. Sheridan, insomuch as he could have bought a book of the wards at any of the performances for sixpence Then again, surely they might have rehearsed the thing a little; as it was, no one knew their Ines, and the prompter was one of the leading characters, though unseen. In one instance, the cimpge of scene from the cell to the exterior, the manager's voice was heard very loudly exclaiming "now then girls" followed by the notes of their opening song. Surely this might have been avoided. How long would this last in our provinces 1 Again what about the scenes that were entirely cut out? The prison scene was A

Mr. Leslie madele the leading part last night it was about the smallest: the anow and slide tricks were intro. duced, but without the roar that follows Mr. Leslie. As the gentleman copied Leslie so far why not have taken; his trick of cracking his fingers, &c, and given or his proper songs?
Surely if a play is advertised we are justified in expecting to see if, not one of Mr. Sheridan. No one has any objection to his writing a wishes, but he should not palm it off as a Galety piece, and so give people who know no better false impression of the powers of the Gaiety authors. Would any Gafety audience ever have sat out a performance minus plot and points, as last night's play was? I think not, and I bave known ibem for years.

These temarks are suggested by a dead body which was deposited for a couple of days at the Police Station in Legation Sta and which was removed at the instance of one of the foreign ministers, and is now deposited out of sight in the shade of the South Bridge of the Imperil Canal-still quite close to the foreign Legations.

sheep without a shepherd. They have a good friend in Mr. Tod Naylor the District Officer, but unfortunately he does not speak Karen. One of the Karens of this district in Kangoor recently said would be easy with a trusted Karen leader to bring in the dacoits now in Camp, prisoners, or to starve them in their retreats on the hills.
The commander of the Sirius, Captain Roberts, was fated to meet with an untimely end for it was he who commanded the steam ship. President, which disappeared on her the baseless fabric" alluded to in the Tempest, voyage from New York to this country, and "like left not a wreck behind.”. It is ́interesting to recall that the President had but twenty-nine passengers on board-a contrast to the number usually carried by an Atlantic steam liner in these days, When last seen by Captain Cole, of the Orpheus, who sailed at the same time, the doomed steamship was midway between Nantucket Shoal and St. George's Bank, and she was labouring beavily in a tremendous sea It is pretty certain that she did not weather that heavy storm.

The pot selected by the dacoits is between Z egon and Gyobingouk about 40 miles from Prome.

On reaching there the eng attached to the train got derailed, the native driver being slightly injured. Two dacoits are reported as having been shot.
