THERE AFC BOMC worthy followers of the "sport of kings" in Hongkong. At the auctions in the Shanghai sweeps at the Club last night one smart man bought in what turned out to be the winner, but paid $43 more than he had to draw ! AT a private meeting of the members of the Jockey Club this afternoon, held with a view to reducing the standard of the griffins by two seconds at the three quarter mile distance, it was decided to leave the matter in the hands of Major Tripp.
We learn that the breakdown of the Diamante's engines, on Monday week, occurred some twelve miles from Manila. The cylinder cover, piston, and all that sort of thing were smashed up, and the second officer had to go on in a boat and bring out two tugs.

It will be produced early in January, probably. We understand that there is room for a considerable amount of new musical talent, which ought to be forthcoming, as numerous amateurs have arrived in the

THI Zafiro, which arrived here last night, had a pretty rough passage.

Highlanders, who died on the 3rd inst. from injuries received from a fall on the 29th of October, John McCulloch, Lance Corporal in the sume regiment as the decensed, stated that he was stationed at Murray Barracks, and knew the deceased. On thenight of the 29th of October { between 9.30 and rap.m, he was at the barrack room and the deceased was there, sitting on another man's bed, perfectly sober. He saw the deceased after the accident, at about 4 a.m. The barrack-room was on the top floor and deceased's bed was on the same floor, near the door..

Dr. Yarr, surgeon of the Army Medical Staff corps. stated, that the morning of the 30th Oct about 630, he saw the deceased lying on a bed in hospital suffering from several severe'contusions; he attended him until. his death on the 3rd inst. Deceased was conscious to the last. He stated that he fell about feet on a stone landing and that this was the only fall, and then afterwards he salu that he had had another fall at 11.30. He did not mention this until asked. He was supposed to have fallen from the door of the barrack- room parapet down on the stone landing about 6 to feet, having walked to this door thinking it to be the door of his bedroom. This "door" was used for ventilation, and was a sort of a window. His bed was near the door. and the same distance on the other side from the vemilator, He must have made a mistake.

Andrew Jackson private in the A. & S.

He went out and found the deceased lying on the second flight of steps, at a distance of about 8 feet from his room. Deceased was lying on the passage half way down. He then carried the deceased to bed-that was the only fall he knew of. The deceased was

THE WANCHAI FIRE. Mr. Wodehouse held an inquiry this morning the night of the 4th inst, at No. 7 Nuliah Lane, at the Magistracy into the cause of the fire on Queen's Read ast, and also into the death of the old woman who was fatally burnt there.
A young girl who lived on the second floor of the burnt house rated that she, her mother, grandmother and four others lived on that floor, and that at a little past nine o'clock on the night of the 4th inst. she was roused by the cries of fire by her grandmother; she then got up and Carried her brother up the stairs to the roof. The fire was coming up from the first floor. After getting up to the roof the wanted to go down again after her grandmother who had not succeeded in getting up the stairs, but was prevented from doing so by the smoke. Although she could not feel her grandmother at the foot of the stairs, she could hear her calling for help. There was an old man on the second floor, but he did not help them because he had children of his own to look after a girl of fourteen and a boy of over ten years of age~- they all escaped by the roof. She did not know on which floor the fire broke out.
A woman living next door at No. 5 Nullah Lane stated that she was sitting in her room sewing at. 915 o'clock on the night of the fire, when in, of a sudden she heard some crackling sound in the next house. She then went into her kitchen and saw flames come over her kitchen from the next house. She had two children of her own, and crying out "fire" she rushed down stairs with them into the streets, and called out "fire 1" again. The burnt-out inmates of hoase No. 7 did not come to her room. She was but slightly acquainted with them.

up to the top floor by the stairette, but was pre- vented by the smoke and the fire. He then went to No. 5 to try a way by the top of the roof out there again the smoke was too much for him and so he had to turn back. Then he tried to get there by the verandah of No. 5. He got into there, but the smoke again drove him back. All this time ho did not see or hear the deceased. He shouted out whether any body was there seemned to come from the first floor. As he got several times bat received no answer. The fire
to the top of No. 5 he was driven back by a gust of wind which drove the fire to his direction and prevented him from getting into No. 7. He then waited a little and then made another attempt to rescue the woman; but by this time the fire had enveloped the whole building. breaking through the first floor into the He saw, nothing of the deceased. second. Being satisfied that there was no means to get to the aid of deceased, the witness turned his ttention to preventing the fire from spreading to the other houses.
Inspector Swanston then stated that the first floor of house No. 7 was occupied as a coolie house and that it is supposed that a kerosine lamp left in the front part of the house on that floor had exploded. He had no reason to suppose that any suspicious circumstances were connected with the fire. There were no witnesses present from the first door, as three coolies whom he wanted to get to give evidence had bolted, and could not be found. The old man recalled stated that after he had taken his grand-child up to the top of the roof he did not resurs to help up the old woman as the fire had got up to the cookhouse.
Mr. Wodehouse-How was it that a fireman could get down very near the cookhouse after you had left her?

of records of such lives have been produced within the present generation, and there nee thousands upon thousands of such lives of which no public record ever appears. Every reader must have known of at least one such life of single-hearted devotion to the good of others, and some have been privileged to know many such within the range of their own experience. How are there lives lo be accounted for, and whence do they draw their inspiration? We have no wish to be unduly sceptical, but after repeated and prolonged consideration of the subject, it is our deliberate conviction that if the forces which make the lives of the Chinese what they are, were to produce one such character as 'Mrs. Kingsley represents her husband to have been, that would be a moral miracle greater than any or all that are recorded in the books of Tanist fables. No human instution can. escape from the law, inexorable because divine; By their fruits ye shall know them. The forces of Confucianism have had an abundant time in which to work out their ultimate results. We believe that they have long since done all that they are capable of doing, and that from them there is no further fruit to be expected. They have achieved all that man alone can do, and more then he has done in any other land, under any other conditions. And after a patient survey of all that Chint has to offer, the most friendly critic is compelled, reluctantly and sadly, to coincide in the verdict of the orator Wendell Phillipps; "The answer to Confucianism is China
Three mutually inconsistent theories are held in regard to Reform in China. First that it is unnecessary. This is no doubt the view of some of the Chinese themselves, though by no means of all Chinese, It is also the opinion adopted by certain foreigners, who look' at China and the Chinese through the mirage of distance, Second, that'reform is impossible. This pessimistic con- clusion is arrived at by many who have had too much occasion to know the tremendous obstacles which any permanent and real reform must en- counter, before it can even be tried. To such persons, the thorough reformation of so vast a body as the Chinese people, appears to be a task s hopeless as the galvanising into life of an Egyptian mammy. To us the second of these views appears only less unreasonable than the first; but if what has been already said fails to make this evident, nothing that could here be added would be sufficient to do 10.
The Magistrate said that he was very much afraid from the evidence given that the deceased life might have been saved if the witness had done more in trying to help her, and it seemed a dreadfully heartless thing knowingly to have left her alone, old as she was, to perish by herself, and not even taking the trouble to let anyone know of the old woman being there. He thought that Angus Macaulay, P.C. "No. 8, did all he could to try and save the deceased. He could not but think that any man with the least instinct of humanity would have tried to save the deceased. He gave the verdict of accidental deyth, and released the premises. The gh was then told is both necessary and possible the question by that she had done what she could, having saved what agency that reform is to be brought about, a child herself and also tried to save her grand-is an important one, and it is not surprising that mother, which conduct was perfectly proper on her part.
THE CHEFOO TELEGARPH CONVENTION.
We have it upon excellent authority, says the Shanghai Martury, that this is the way in which_the_Cheloo_Telegraphic Convention at present stands: Li Hung-chang has verbally agreed to the terms of the Convention, after a good deal of alteration had been made in its lext; he has undertaken to use his influence with the Tsung-li Yamên to induce that body to give the obnoxious agreement its signature. M. Coumany, Russian Minister, who, as our Henningsen, Manager of the Great Northera informant tells us was authorized by Mr.
Line. to conduct the negotiations with the Viceroy Li, has undertaken to use his influence to get the Foreign Ministers in Peking to approve of the Convention. The instrument, besides receiving the support of Li Hang-chang, must be approved by the various representatives, of the Foreign Powers in Peking, and must also be approved by the Yamén before it can be formally ratified; so that, if the Ministers do their duty and enter their protest at the Yamén, there is very little chance of the Con- vention becoming an established fact. One of the most obnoxious clauses, is that of keeping up the cost of telegrams to Europe to $2 a word for fourteen years, which has been retained in the text, despite the numerous statements to the contrary, We believe that, so far as can be learned, the American and Japanese representatives at the only ones opposed to the Convention. If M. Coomany succeeds in leading Sir John Walsham by the nose in thematter, unless indeed that distin, guished diplomat has been already "nobbled" by Sir John Fender and the agents of the Danish Company, who have most to lose, and most to gain from the shelving or confirming of the Con- vention-it will be another example of the futility of the policy of the British Foreign Office in trying to make round pegs, fit into square holes, and sending to important poste men who sin afford to thus disregard the commercial interests of their people for the fantastic reasons which mislead Downing Street,
:
CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.
CONCLUSION. IV.
To those who are agreed that reform in China
there are several different and inharmonious replies. At the very outset, we have to face the enquiry. Can China be reformed from within herself! That she can be thus reformed, is taken for granted by those of her statesmen who are able to perceive the vital need of reformation. An instance of this assumption occurred in a recent memorial in the Peking Gazette, in which the writer complained of the inhabitants of one of the central provinces as turbulent, and stated that a certain number of competent persons had been appointed to go through the province, to explain to the people the maxims of the Sacred Edicts of Kang Hsi, by which vigorous measure It was apparently expected that the character of the population would in time be ameliorated, This preaching of moral maxims to the people is a favorite prescription for the amendment of the morals of the time, in spite of the barrenness of results. When it fails, as it always does, there is nothing to be done, but to try it over again. That it must fail, is shown by the longest experience, with every modification of circumstances, except in the results, which are as nearly as possible uniformly ff. This has been sufficiently shown already in the instructiva alles gory of the eloquent old man whose limbs were of stone But ifmere precep! is inert, it might be expected that example would be more previously discussed, and we need recur to it only to point out the reason why in the end the best examples always fall to produce the intended results. It is because they have no power to propagate example, the case of Chang Chih-tung formerly the impulse which gave them life. Take for Governor of Sharri, where he is reported to ave made the most vigorous efforts to put a stop to the practice of opium-smoking among the offi- cials, and opium-raising among the people. How many of bis subordinates would honestly co-operate in this effort, and what could possibly ACCORDING to recent advices, after the attempted
