The news we reproduced from our Manila exchanges the other day, to the effect that a local newspaper had been fined one hundred dollars for publishing an article which had been vetoed by the Board of Censure is conclusively demonstrative of the fact so frequently mentioned in these columns and as often denied by the Manila organs of public opinion, that freedom of the Press ls, if not an entirely unknown, a most uncertain quantity in the Philippine Islands. With us, public opinion, social conventionalities, manners and customs
in general are far more unshackled in the colonies than they are at home; whereas
A REGULAR Convocation of Victoria Chapter, No. 525, will be held in Freemasons' Hall, Zetland Street, on Monday, the 1st proximo, at 8.30 for 9 p.m. precisely. Visiting companions are cordially invited.
MR. W. BUCHANAN SMITH advertises for 2,000 Bentong "Straits Tin" Mining Co.'s shares, and desires sellers to state lowest price. If the "lowest price" is low enough he may take the shares or he may leave them, just sabe pleases. This advt. strongly reminds us of Mr. W. Buchanan Smith's conditional offer of a lakh of dollars for a ten square miles block of the Punjom Co.'s concession. They are evidently go-ahead lot, these wily speculators of Singapore

WITH reference to the news' we translated, the other day from the Manila papers, to the effect that Sefer Tornos, a paymaster of the Spanish Navy, had been appointed a member of the Naval Commission which is attacked' to the Spanleb Consulate at this port, we are requested to state that Señor de la Vega is the only gentleman entrusted with the said-officey' as chief of the department.

We observe that Mr. H. M. Becher of "Punjom" fame, is advertising in the Singapore papers from the "Mining Offices,” 9 D'AlmeidīStreet, for several jungle surveyors' assistants and pros- pectors, also a laboratory assistant. The last 'billet' is said to be a good opening for a young man wishing to learò assaying.” What has become of Mr. Thomas Ide Bowler?

CAPTAIN JACKSON, of the Ocean Co's steamer Priam, had his certificate quspended six months at the Board of Trade inquiry held at Liverpool, for causing the loss of that vessel by negligent navigation. This punishment seems to be either too much or too little. If his incapacity or care- lessness caused the wreck of the Prim with the attendant loss of life he ought to have been shelved for all time; if not, he ought not to have been punished at all.

Ax the Summary Court this morning, the Chief Justice presiding, Mr. Justice Fielding Clark, our new Puisne Judge, occupied a seat on the Beach for the first time. His new Honour looks a smart man-stagey, perhaps, but smart. He seemed highly amused at the procedure in colossal case involving some fifteen dollars, in which little Chinese barrister had been retained. After it was finished the Chief Justice retired, and left his new colleague to run the Court. He did that is an unusually expeditious manner, and we shall recommend our junior-The Lost Chard.. stipendiary to go down and take lessons.

put down in the Ordinance for compensating all the owners of private wharves-$108,000--would he totally inadequate to meet the loss of even hatone Company. Their loss would be calculated it hundreds of thousands of dollars. Although that scheme was made for the public benefit, by widening the Praya, till they must not lose sight of the fact that it would bring very large profits Into the pockets of the organisers Private in- lividuals should not be benefited to the detriment of other private individuals~ho was especially referring to the wharves—the latter should be con- pensated in every way for any loss they sustained, and as the river traffic of the Colony was a very material part of the trade that should not be overlooked when they came to pass the Bill. Another objection that had been set aside was the question of holders of sections. If the possession of the new lots wal be given to the person who held the Crown lease be assured them there would be litigation--in many cases, he believed, the holder of the lease had not any water-front at all, but the sub-sectionists were the actual holders. He thought that part of the Bill should be altered. Some of the let holders had told him that their lets would be depreciated by the scheme, and he thought their cases should certainly be investigated-there was great deal. to come to some lot-holders, and it was only fair that those gentlemen whose lots were depre- ciated should also be compensated. He believed there was a case at Penang not very long ago where compensation was obtained for a lot taken--a very large sum-but perhaps a similar case would not happen here. Süll lot-owners should be liberally remunerated.

FORGERY BYA MUSIC TEACHER.
The
Mr. H. L. Stringer, of Stringer & Co., Wynd- ham Street, is apparently considered. fair game for robbery by all sorts of foreigners. A year or 40 ago he was "bargled" by a Frenchman and a German, and this week a Spanish-Italian has been taking his good name in vain, culprit is Eulogio Kosca, a young teacher of music living in Waschai, and well-known in the town, and the way he did it was, this -Me. Stringer has had some transactions with him lately, and in the end Kosca asked for a loan. He got $ico, at nominal interest, and was paid by cheque. On Tuesday, evening he called at Mr. Stringer's house on some business, and was shown into the office. The cheque-book was lying on the deske, and, whilst alone, it is supposed that he tore out thres blank cheques-at any rate he left without seeing anybody, and the cheques were missing. · Yesterday morning he went to the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank and pre- sented a cheque payable" to "H, Roof," and signed “ Ha-Stringer." This he gave, to the shroff, who handed it to an English clerk. The clerk knew Mr. Stringer's signature, and saw that it did not resemble it either in style or word- ing, and he ought to have noticed, too, that it was, endorsed "H Roof" in the same band- writing as it was filled in. There is a Chinese detective always on duty in the Bank, and it, would have been easy to have given Kosca into custody, but instead of doing so the clerk foolishly passed the cheque
· back: to him' again: and' told him it was "irregular." Kora went away, and returned. about half-past one with the words "& Co" clumsily added to the signature. Again the instead of taking advantage of it the clerk told opportunity for amsting him offered itself, but him to call again, and went to Mr. Stringer's
·house with the cheque. When the signature was repudiated the police were informed, and from the description given Detective-Sergeants Mann and McDonald went down to Kosca' house, They asked Kosca if he had been out and he replied that he had not, but his wife, just before, had"; admitted that he had only just come in. They therefore charged him with the forgery and took him to the Bank, where several of the employés at once identified him. He denied it, strenuously, but admitted having been to Stringer's house on the 26th, on which date, as the other cheques show, the cheque in ques- tion had been stolen. He was locked up, and- taken before Mr. Wodehouse this morning? Mr. Webber, who defended, said that he had not had time to get up the case, and asked for a remand. The case was accordingly adjourned Mundi Monday. :-
