IT is currently reported in Glasgow, says the L. & C. Express, that the contract, for three large steamers required by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company has been placed with a Govan shipbuilding firm. These vessels are to be of 5,000 tons each, and it is likely that about 9,000 tons of steel will be required for their construction. In connection with this it is stated a new Pacific mail contract is to be settled between the Imperial Government and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. The con tract stipulates that the service shall commence in eighteen months, the Company receiving £9,000 annually from the Imperial Government, in addition to £1,000 from the Dominion of Canada, for a monthly service for ten years from Van- couver, not only to Yokohama and Hongkong, as at first intended, but also to Shanghai.
THE Shanghai Courier of the 28th December says-Competing steamers on the Ningpo Line threaten to make matters lively during the next few days. The Cass, one of the two vessels owned by the Formosan Trading Company, was put on the line a week ago, and she took native passengers at 50 cents each, against the old rate of one dollar. She runs against the China At Shanghai on the 27th December, 1988,

LOCAL AND GENERAL.
SIR John Pope Hennessy, accompanied by Lady Hennessy and family, left Marseilles for the Mauritius on December 1st, and will return home for good next June:
THE river steamer Powan narrowly escaped coming to serious grief on Monday night. She left Canton at about g o'clock with an unusually valuable cargo on board, and when in "the narrows, just above the red beacon, a junk got in her way. In clearing the junk the steamer, owing to the force of the current, went aground on the rocks in that vicinity, where she remained for about three hours Luckily the Powan was going slowly at the time and, although at first considerable commotion was caused on board by cargo shihing etc. there was never any actual danger. On arriving at Hongkong, Capt. Hoyland had the bottom of the vessel examined by divers, when it was found that she had sustained no injury whatever, and she took her customary place on the line last night. A passenger who was on board the Pawan states that it was chiefly owing to the continued coolness and energy of Capt. Hoyland seems a great pity that the navigation of the that the steamer got off the rocks so easily. It river between Canton and Whampoa should be allowed to present so many dangers by the absence of all rules governing the junk traffic, A CAPTURE has been made in connection with Sunday's piracy case, quite accidentally. The junk that was pirated had a lot of bags of tumips on board, and yesterday morning the man who consigned them, and who lives near the new Market happened to notice his mark off tomr bags near a stall, and at once rushed off to tell the police. Detective Sergeant Macdonald went down with him, and found that a man had brought 25 bags of turnips to sell, and had agreed to take $37 for them. The purchaser had only $3 just then, so the man took that on account, and went off to pay the master of the boat in which he had brought them. It was in his absence that the consignor noticed the bags, Macdonald waited, and by and bye the vendor came back again to get the btber $34 He got a pair of handcuffs, instead. Marks of blood were found on some of the bags, and he could not satisfactorily explain where he got them, so after being formally charged A NATIVE passenger from Hongkong by the before Mr. Pollock this morning he was steamer Namchan was arrested on the anival remanded.

AT, ten o'clock on the morning of the 15th ulto. the Mayen volcano in the Philippince was again in a state of eruption. At a distance of 75 kilometres from the mountain, says the Mahila Diario, a column of ashes could be seen slowly rising from the eléváted crater until it reached the clouds above. Great panic prevailed among the inhabitants of Legaspi, Libog, Albay, Daraga. Camalig, Guinsbatan and Ligao, where a sudden darkness overspread the sky and continued so thick that at mid-day lights had to be placed at the windows of houses: So far no personal damages have been reported, but as the lays was streaming down the mountain sides in great quantity, it is feared the crops and cattle in the neighbourhood will suffer considerably.
should then be cancelled. The particulars of counterclaim showed that the defendant was A younger son of the late "Tam Chai, and was entitled to one-fifth of his estate, which was now being administered by the Court, and in December 1885 he was a party to a suit, in cons nection with it. Tam Chot died in 1870, when defendant was four years old, consequently he was under age in 1885. (This the plaintif denied.) At the time the bond was made put defendant had been for some time almost entirely under the influence and direction of his broiler-in-law, Tan Kwai Shan, and was indeed by him in 1885 to change his solicitor. in order to do this he was told he would require about $1,000, and Tam, Kwai Shan offered to procure it for him. He afterwards told defendant that he had arranged with the plaintif to procure the money $1,00 to be paid in cash and $1,000 as required, $400 being charged as: On the 31st December Tan, Kwai Shan took, defendant to plaintiff'shouse, and the bond was executed, under the influence and persuasion of Tan Kwai Shan and the plaintiff. The bond was for $400 Plaintiff was the lender of the money, (admittc) and therefore was Defendant not entitled to any commission, received $500, and a promissory note for $500,** more, on which $400 was afterwards" paid. He understood that the money was required, which he had found to be false.Plaintiff, in his reply to this, denied that defendant was en infant at the time, and asserted that the money was advanced for necessaries. He denied that defendant was unduly Influenced, or that any misrepresentations were made, bat admitted that he was the principal in the loan transaction. He denied that he advanced no more than $90 The plaintiff's case was that the defendant, or his brother-in-law, desited the loan, without any inducements being held out. He advanced $190 in bank-notes, and gave a promissory note for $500, $400 of which was paid, so that $1,300 was given.

A CORRESPONDENT writes from Newchwang, to the Shanghai Mercury under date the 8th ulto,: For the last three days we have had a strong blow from the south and all the ice in the river has disappeared. This morning there was a magnificent tile and a vessel drawing 15 feet of water could have gone into the dock, but we regret to say H.M.S. Cockchafer is not here.. Last Saturday (Decemb18), the Chinese gossips said that the gunboat had been outside for some days, but the Customs' signal-man could not make her out, probably owing to the air being full of dust. The rumour, however, proved correct, for H.M. Consul some days afterwards got a wire from Captain Maxwell to say that he had tried to get up the river, but found the ice stopped him. Sunday with us, was a glorious day and except: ing some drift ice on the north shore there was none else to be seen-river quite open. The fates have clearly heen against us. Some of our sports have started up country after bustard and deer, and are having lovely weather. The Consular pond is very good this year, and it is a piły we havoraht moře skaters to enjoy the ice.
