THE PIRACY CASE!
wi A Lai and Wang Song were charged with committing piracy on a junk in British waters on the 16th ult. The Attorney General con- ducted the case for the crown, and said that the second prisoner would also be charged with receiving stolen property. The piracy was not of the most serious kind, but would have ranked as ordinary robbery if committed on shore.
The evidence called was substantially the same as that already given in the police court. The captain of the junk, the passenger Mok Fuk Inspector Stanton, and a constable were called, Two of the Junk's crew had left the colony, and their depositions made before the magistrate were taken.
The jury retired to consider their verdict and After an absence of fifteen minutes returned with a verdict of guilty on the first count, by five to two, and not guilty on the second count.

One of those dastardly attacks, for which Jspan unfortunately possesses an unhappy preeminence, was made yesterday, which placed in jeopardy the life of the heir to the crown of all the Russins. It was known that H. I, H. was to visit the neighbourhood of Lake Biwa, and yesterday afternoon news reached Tokyo, that he had been set upon by one of the Police. The Information did not reach Yokohama until the evening, and this morning we issued two expressen, the ärst merely stating the fact that the Prince had been wounded, and the second containing farther particulars, with the welcome intelligence that the wound was only a slight

aquantity of cargo for New York and then come on here to fill up, But very little space had been reserved for Hongkong and Shanghat cargo, so it is probable that if the steamer has foundered she has gone down with a large and valuable cargo consisting chiefly often and rice. The agents here have not yet been advised as to the cause of the disaster or where it happened, but it is supposed that it may bave occurred in the neighbourhood of the Gotto Island, some 70 miles to the southward of Nagasaki Hends, during a dense fogs the ship having probably been set to the northward of Ler course by the strong currents prevailing at times on the coasts of Japan.

After visiting the different scenes, H.I.H.bad-tiffia-at-the-Shige Kancho, which he left shortly before 2 p.m., on his retum.

H.I.H. was immediately taken into a small shop by the roadside, where the bleeding was stopped. and temporary bandages were ap plied. What happened after the attack is not exactly clear. The earlier telegram sald that the would-be assassin was cut down by a police inspector, but this was an error. Later despatches say that the man was knocked down with a stick either by Prince George of Greece, or some other afficer of the Czarewitch's suff, the accounts as to this differ-and dropped his sword, which was immediately seized by one of the firikisha coolies, who inflicted a beavy wound is the back, and the man was then Kenchs, where he remained quietly and in the secured. After this, H.I.H. returned to the meantime physicians from Osaka and Kyoto were summoned to attend him. When sufficiently restored, he took the train from Baba to Kioto, and arrived at the hotel at 5.15 pm. A medical examination was immediately made, and it was found that the blows had not injured the frontal || bone, but were alight cuts, one of aine, and the other of seven centimetres in length. H.I.H. was said to be in very good spirits, and had conversed freely with his fuit.
Meanwhile the news had reached Tokyo, some half-hour after the attack, and all was con- sterostion, as was not thought possible that
the victim of a blow from a sword could bave escaped so easily, and it was feared that the wounds were, at least, dangerous. Both the Emperor and Empress were much affected, and expressed their deepest regrets. Under fn- structions from H.-I. Majesty, H. 1. H.

Previous to the departure of the Ministers, however, a Cabinet Council had been held, the result of which was that a
Power, and the cession of Saghallen to her, although in exchange for the Kurile Islands, rather augmented than diminished that feeling. When to this native ferocity of temper, and this hatred of foreigners in general, and of Russians, in particular, we add the fact that many Japanese detest the hanour shown to foreign princes, thinking that their own Emperor Is superior to all, we fir 1 quite enough to account for the sudden attempt to murder, without seek in for a supposititions insanity.
The occurrence is, however, a lamentable one for Japan, and coming so soon after the attack at the Russian Legation, wears a somewhat ominous look. Even if Russia be disposed to accent the explanations made, in general estima. tion Japan will suffer, and retarding blow has bern given to treaty revision. The continued murders and attempted murders, of Japanese Ministers; these ever-recurring attacks on foreigners, will do much to support the protest of the foreign residents against being placed under Japanese jurisdiction, because it shows to what a very slight extent the vaunted civiliza. tion has penetrated the native mind. Vir-d-vis Russla, all that can be done has been done Carewitch to atone for the attack on the life of the Imperial Prince; the departure of the Ministers; the immediate despatch of an and finally the hurried Journey of the Emperor to the scene, all prove the desire of the Sovereign of Japan to repair, as far as may be in his power, the mischief danc. Dat in regard to Japanese pretensions in the face of the world, they received a set back from which they will not easily recover, and at this moment Europe and America are, no doubt, discussing this latest outbreak of Japanese ferocity or fanaticism, call it what you will. The only thing upon which Japan can congratulate herself, fx” the very for- tunate salvation of the life of the Czarevitch from the attack of a dastardly assassin.

There is no doubt saved the place from being looted and fired, as it was ascertained from most reliable sources that the mob was only waiting for night to make a rald on the property owned by the Jesuits, and where it would have ended none can felt.

Sevemt complaints are being made as to the action of the clerks in the Chinese telegraph fice at this time. Messages were sent to the office on Tuesday night for transmission, by the Consul, and some of the shipping agents, but the operator refused to send them until he had himself wired to the head office in Shanghal, asking for permission to do so.
Tr4th May. || Some days ago, two Chinese women lost their sons and it was stated that they had been kidnapped by the Jesuits. The women went to the Roman Catholic Mission and asked for their children. Of course, they were not there, but the women commenced to lament and a crowd collected and things get so serious that the Trotál was appealed to, and the crowd was
dispersed. On Tuesday morning news arrived
of the attack on the Roman Catholic Mission at Yahgchow, and in the afternoon, the two women who had lost their children again went to the Mission and knocking their heads on the ground loudly bewailed their fate. This caused a crowd to congregate, and talking the matter over among themselves, they came to the conclusion that the priests had made away with the children, and an evidence of the fact they averred that there were a number of coffias on the premises. The coffins were there, but they were intended for members of the Mission who died at Wuhu. Some time ago, two Chinese Sisters or nuns had been at Wuhu, and they used to talk to the children of Wuhu, perhaps put their hands on their heads, when speaking to them. So the natives said these nuns were
capable of striking deaf and dumb those they
touched. All this the crowd talked about and made an attack on the Roman Catholic premises were finally worked up to such a pitch, that they and as they came in at the front the priests escaped by the back. The mob set fire to the place, pouring all on the woodwork to make it burn better. The rioters dug up some graves on the premises and broke open the coffics. The report that an old woman and two children were burnt to death fortunately turns out to be incor. rect, as the missing woman has since arrived at Shanghai.
The Chinese men-of-war which arrived at 3 pm. on Wednesday were on their way up the river escorting H.E. Sten Ping-cheng, Governor of Anbui, the late acting Viceroy at Nanlding, who left here last week, and had no knowledge of the riot at Wuhu till they arrived there. They anchored abreast of the yamén and after the Consul had been on board, shifted their berths and moored inside the hulks so as to be able to
get at the mob if necessary. Before they had arrived, some fifteen of the rioters had been arrested and tied up, but H.E suggested to the Tantal that he should release them, for if he wanted them again, be could always find them. At 5 p.m. the men-of-war fired blank cartridge and soon after It began to rain and the mob commenced to melt away.
