AT the Supreme Court on the 1st inst., before Mr. Justice. Wise, sitting in Summary Jurisdic tinn, the suit brought by Ben. J.

"PUNJOMS" are again becoming a dangerous element in the colony, but in a different fashion to the usual "bull" and "bear movements to which we have been so long accustomed at frequent intervals. Murmurs both loud and deep are heard on every side, and we have lately fistened to very strong language from persons who are notorious for their sedateness. Nero filled whilst Rome was in flames and his capital wat vanishing In smoke; the Directors of the Punjam Company do nothing, whilst the market value of the shares "melt away." It is high time something were done. Mr. Becher's alleged faches will prove a very poor excuse for the Directors the next time they meet the share- question of the hour is-where la Becher.?

A PRODIGY is reported from the Canton province. At Su Wal, a woman of jo summers is said to have given birth to a child-a bright-looking bor recently. Her husband is 71 years old. This elderly couple have already a large number of grand-children and great-grand-children living. Not content with this fruitful progeny, they adopted some time ago a child as their son; but the little fellow died, "which caused great sorrow to the worthy people, who have ever since been invoking the gods to send them: another child in place of the one taken from them. They had led exemplary lives, so the deities were pleased to pity their bereaved condition, and, have now sent them this last child to comfort them in their old age. On the intelligence spreading, all their friends and relations, grand-children, great. grand-children, and descendants it is said even to the fourth generation, hastened to the aged

Hongkong, 30th August, 1890. Throughout the week affairs onthe Share Market have been exceedingly brisk. After the monthly, settlements, which, we are glad to say, passed off most satisfactorily, business was actively resumed, and as public confidence has apparently been restored so far as most of the popular stocks are concerned, rates all round have been maintained and continue to show an upward tendency.
Banks weakened slightly immediately after the settlements, some shares changing hands at as low as 220 per cent. premium, ex. div., but a re-action quickly set in and the rate advanced to 224, closing, however, with sellers at that figure. For forward. delivery a large number of shares have been negociated at 226 and 227 for September, and 228 and 230 for October; There are further sellers at the higher rates. New Issues dropped to 195 for cash, The various Governments and Municipal Cora fair quantity of scrip being picked #P: porations, and all Public Bodies and Companies, but the price rapidly advanced to 215, and Bankers, Merchants, Consuls, Professional men, a lot of shares were placed at Intermediate and other Residents, have supplied the necessary rates. The market closed with cash sellers matter, upon forms specially went for that pur- at 207. pose so as to ensure accuracy. The Naval and Military portions have been taken from the latest published official lists and revised at Head-quarters: In fact, no pains have been "pared to make "THE HONGKONG DIREC. TORY AND HONG LIST FOR THE FAR EAST" a handy and perfectly rellable book of reference for all classes.

THE Hon. A. P. MacEwen was entertained to a farewell dinner by the members of the Golf Club at the Hongkong Hotel on Saturday night last.. Commander Rumsey, R.N., captain of the Club, ecoupled the chair, with the Hon, N. G. Mitchell-Innes as croupier, and amongst the forty "goffers" present, in addition to the guest of the evening, were the Acting Chief Justice (Mr. Fielding Clarke), the Hon. P. Ryrie, the Hon. S. Brown, (Surveyor-General), Major Hannay and a powerful contingent from the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders," and other well known residents. After doing justice to the excellent dinner provided, Com- mander Rumsey in felicitous terms proposed Mr. MacEwen's health, referring to his long residence in the colony, the valuable services he had rendered in the Legislative Council and to every branch of manly sport, and especially emphasising the material and active assistance he had given in making the ancient and royal game of golf a success in Hongkong. The toast was drunk with Highland honours, and in responding Mr. MacEwen was greeted with great enthusiasm. The Handicap Challenge' Cup, presented to the Club by Mr. MacEwen, was then formally handed over to the first winner, Mr. Wade Gard'ner, and after a litle ceremonial with a magnum was handed round the table for Inspection, Speeches were rade by Mr. Ryrie, Dr. J. A. Lowson, and Mr. Mitchell-Innes, and after the arrival of the Pipe-Major of the High. landers a very pleasant evening was passed to the inspiring strains of the bagpipes, «
