WITH reference to the Canton Customs duties the Peking Garette of the 9th September states that during the present year the Canton Customs were required to supply the following contribu tions for Imperial purposes:-Tls. 160,000 from the Foreign Customs Revenue for the Peking subsidy; Tis. 120,000 from the six-tenthy of the same revenue for further defence measures on the North East, and Tls. 140,000 for frontier preparations in general. All the above were to baretained in Canton and employed in repayment of the foreign loan. The following sums were to be forwarded to Peking direct: Tir. 6,000 quarterly for augmenting the salaries of Peking officials, Tia, 49,000 annually for the same purpose, and Tls. 300,000 for the Treasury of the Imperial Household.

MR. A. G.

Said friend Mong, "too much ! He's angry! He's a terror!" "We hope Mr. Wise is a "terror" to these unscrupulous vagabonds, and that what with sharply administered justicé and estreated bail we shall soon have Hongkong 137,670 to furnish the second instalment of the fairly clear of Tre-fo, Wai-sing, Pak-kap-piu | above payments, and state that the lenders, some lotteries, and Fan-tan, Pal-kau and Tin-il-kuk | Shaasi bankers, will be repaid out of the dens, otherwise known as gentlemens' clubs i Customs duties.
