We are informed by the Agents (Mesurs. Arnhold, Karberg & Co.) that the China Shippers' Mutual and Liverpool, left Singapore for Hongkong this morning, and may be expected on or about the 24th inst.
THR regret at the departure of Governor 'des Voeux is universal throughout the colony, and it is earnestly hoped that his health may be suficiently restored to enable him to return to Hongkong, as at present armaged, by next October.

POLICE Sergeant Ford had an unpleasant experience a few days ago. Whilst rushing off to a fire a dog darted out of a Chinese shop and forced him to take refuge behind a counter for the proverbial "bad quarter of an hour," whilst a crowd of crolies laughed at him. The owner of the dog told Mr. Robinson to-day that he had banished it to Kowloon City, where its Anglo- phobic proclivities would simmer down. Mt. Robinson imposed a fine of $10, only to be paid if the dog ever returned from banishment.

I was a Justice of the High Court to whom, in former days was attributed the famous exordium of a charge to a jury in a case of larceny: "For forty centuries the thunders of Sinai bave echoed through the world, Thou shalt not steal. This is also a principle of the common law and aule of equity." When Swift and Pops made their celebrated excursion into the art of sinking in poetry they never contrived any bathos more perfect or complete than this. Almost as delight ful, though not expressed with the same literary 1,25 skill, is the sentence of n president of a court
martial: "Prisoner. not only have you committed mutder, but you have run a bayonet through the breeches of one of her Majesty's uniforms." 1.50 Perhaps, however, the best of all such judicial utterances is that ascribed to a rural justice of 0.60 the peace: Prisoner, a bountiful providence has endowed you with health and strength, instead of which you go about the country stealing hens."

MR. Wodehouse resunied the enquiry into the Lyndhurst Terrace fire, this afternoon. Evidence was given that four or five days after the fire Mr. Gomes, the tenant of the shop, received a letter signed," G. H. Mahomed Arab," threaten- ing to blow on him" if $30 were not paid. Gomes junior said that Mahomed Arab was B friend of his, and lived in Hollywood Road. The letter was handed to him. The writer said that "After consulting with Roberts (witness's shop- man) about the goods that had been burnt, you. bad better take his (Roberts") advice, and put the thing straight." The meaning of that was that Roberts would not help to get the insurance $1.50 money unless he was paid something
S.co Wilkinson, who abjected to giving evidence until he received his client's (Gomes") permission, said that the purport was that it was better to pay a little than to lose a great dan.-The Par Betinquiry was still proceeding, when our reporter

THUS a San Francisco paper:-If Spain and Portugal should start a Republican fire no one can tell where it might stop, with Europe groAD- ing under the weight of armaments to maintain dynasties. It might end in turning them into organizations to maintain popular sights as in the case of the French Revolution. In that event revolution, if successful, would probably result in a general disarmament.
The Magistrates Ordinancé 1890, which was read in first time at a meeting of the Legislative Council held on the 12th instis published "for general information" in the Government Gazelle of Saturday last. We hope the unofficial members of the Legislative Council will care- fully study the clauses of this new Ordinance before allowing it to become the law of the colony. We shall review it at the first favorable opportunity.

No report, they say, has heen received. by the authorities of any wreck, and it is scarcely probable therefore that one is lying off Kannonzaki. They bring forward as an ex- planation of the obstruction that a huge whale was almost captured about the reth instant off Kokubo-mura, Amaba Gun, Kadsusa District, but escaped with several harpoons in its body, and was probably either dying or dead when it was mistaken by the vaptain of the Thales for a wrecked vessel,

One of the foot-pads was arrested at the time, and the other was after- wards apprehended.

A SHROFF'S METHODS. The shroff of Ho Atim was indicted for embezzling about $2,000, out of rents which he had collected. The appropriation of the money was admitted, but the prosecutor was unwilling. to press the charge, and on his stating, that it was not unusual for a shroff to temporarily utilise his employer's capital, with the latter's cognisance, his lordship directed the jury to acquit the prisoner,

Leander ("Boots"at ihe helm); strode along for a mile in 33, 55, 1.18, and 2.10, absolutely cantering at the finish, and with Salute out of the way I certainly cannot see what has the remotest chance of beating this vastly improved pany either in the_Valley or The course was in good going order on Satur.
