SHARES IN COMPANIES-PROPOSED
ORDINANCE,
His Excellency Major General G. D. Barker, C.B., the Officer Administering the Governs ment. DEAR GENERAL BARKER,—I have been pushed" with my own and other work, and the Counsel of the Stockbrokers Association has been unable through press of business in and out of Court to draw up the ordinance which the Brokers would propose.
I venture to offer the following remarks on the ordinance now before the Council.
On 1st July "Anderson" selis 100 Dock shares, and gives the numbers thereof, to Brown at too per cent, premium, deliver, 25th September.
"Brown" afterwards sells the same 1,000 Dock
shares to "Campbell" at tog premium also deliver 25th September.
"Campbell later on sells same roo Dock share to "Dickson" at 107 premium, also delivery 25th September.
"Dickson" subsequently sells the same. 100 Dock shares to "Evans," "Evans" sells to #Fraser," and "Fraser" sells to Graham and so on, the numbers of shares being given in the contracts on each occasion,
All goes well until the beginning of August when Brown "through unforeseen causes gets into difficulties and his position becomes critical. "Anderson" knows this but having sold his property and ear-marked it, he has to look on patiently until the 25th September, on which date Brown" is unable to fulfil his part of the contract, and if the market has declined "Anderson" bas to suffer the loss and claim apon "Brown's" bankrupt estate.
"Campbell" cannot get delivery of the 100 shares he purchased from "Brown" and therefore cannot deliver to "Dickson " "Dickson "cannot deliver to "Evans," and so on, the result being Injustice, litigation, and in many cases serious loss to perfectly innocent men through no fault
of their own.
I may give a further illustration of how unjustly this act would work if brought into Inw The same persons as above mentioned

FRANCE AND THE MEKONG VALLEY:
・TO THE EDITOR OF THE "Songzona TelecRAVI,”
SIR-As a set-off against French schemes and intrigues in the Mekong valley (concerning which you lately favoured us with a leading article) it may perhaps interest you and your readers to learn that the Siamese Government have despatched three Royal Princes to administer the affairs of the provinces situated in that neighbourhood; that the gentlemen in question have received a thorough English education; speak our language as fluently as ourselves, and are looked upon in Siam as three of the smartest men to Government employ, The provinces entrusted to their care consist of all those along the lower Mekong, extending from the Great Lake on the south, to Bassac on the east ; all the provinces of which Korak (the great railway terminus) is the centre; and the northern provinces of Luang Prabang, where the French have a Vice Consulate.
Each Administrator, or Governor as they will be called, is to be given a fice hand, and as they
all energetic and capable men we can be sure they will, in a short time, be able to give an excellent account of their work in these hitherto neglected districts.
I am, Sir,
Yours truly,

Neither side admits having yielded, but the result may probably be called a compromise, though we do not fully know the actual state of the case. On the one band the Total appears not to bave lost face, and on the other the merchants claim the case is to have another hearing when British influence can be brought to bear from Peking, Probably most will agree that this hope, in view of the eminently deliberate action of Her Majesty's Representative in Peking, is likely to prove a delusion and a snare.

In the cast of the death of a large share operator there would be delay in the fulfil- ment of contracts and possibly worse, where the numbers of the shares are entered therein as in most instances considerable time elapses before Letters of Administration can be obtained, shares are not lendered on due date and the contract is
broken.
I have been unable to go into the matter fully and thoroughly but I think the few Illustrations I have given, and there must be many more, will shew how very unjustly this act will affect perfectly Innocent men.
There are many other arguments against the Bill and I am convinced that it will tend seriously to make men who are now honest become dis- honest, in fact If numbers are not given in con- tracts and such contracts in the eye of the law are null and vold, I say deliberately that this legislation la bat, and offers a premium to dis honesty. The Chamber of Commerce majority has condemned it. It will not stop speculation nor will it curtail it. If Bulls and Bears cannot fight their own battles and take care of themselves, and it is absolutely necessary for Government to interfere in the matter and with the freedom of contract--which necessity has not yet been proved-let contracts be limited to a period of one or two months, ac numbers to be given. This would lessen if not eradicate the evil complained of
I am strongly opposed to legislation in advance of the Engilah acts and the further consideration of this measure may well and safely be left over until the return of our Governor, Colonial Secretary, and other Senior Government officials wow absent from the colony.

A HINT TO DECK OFFICERS. Tore BUITOR of the "Hanggano TELEGRAPE,"
We had some 140 visitors from Hongkong to-day in the. Ho-nam. It is a plly these ex cursions cannot be encouraged a little. If the Steamboat people would make definke arrange ments with some caterer here, there would be less profanity, and perhaps one or two might someilmes venture on a second visit. At present nobody does, except for some special object of private interest to see a friend, or to escape a creditor,
The sille factory is now working very well indeed, which is the more satisfactory consider ing that the whole of the plant came out this year, and that the first set of hands, old style Canton silk workers, refused to understand the businest, and a new set of young Macao girls had to be obtained and taught. It is not a little remarkable to see a beliding full of Chinese girls sitting at their looms Just as if they were Lan cashire Lasses born to the trade. Everything. goce so smoothly now that the manager, Mr. Lawson, will soon be returning to England.

CHEFOO.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
July 17th.' A murder of an unusually shocking nature was perpetrated on the 13th instant, the scene of the tragedy belug the highway that leads through the pass between the lotty range of hills that skhi the southern background of Chefoo. It appears that the wife of a cargo-coolie, who finds employment on the Customs jetty, had occasion a few days since to send in to her husband some clean clothes and one hundred cash. She com- missioned her son to perform the errand, and the boy, who was little more than a child, set out upon the journey from his native village wholly unsuspicious of the terrible fate that awaited him. The boy had not gone far when he was overtaken by his uncle, who barring bis progress, demanded from him the hundred cask. Evidently the poor lad must have refused to deliver up the money, for the curaged man seizing a large stone rushed upon bis unfortunate nephew, and dealing him several violent blows upon the head stretched him lifeless on the highway. Possess ing himself of the coveted hundred cask the wretched murderer absconded. He could not bare travelled any distance, however, for he was arrested close to Chefoo the day before yesterday and at once sent off under escort to the Ninghai maglatrate for trial,

We should not omit to mention a rising at Wanhsien, a city about half way between, bere and Ichang, between two and three weeks ago. It seemed not to be directed against the mission. aries there, but against the authorities. The natives call It an insurrection against the government and attribute it to the Kelso Hui.
The rioters began by cutting down the tele- graph poles, thinking to cat off wire connection, But it chanced that they cut the poles below the city and the magistrate was able to telegraph to Chungking and had soldiers down to three days. Before their arrival, however, the disturbance had been quelled. Several leaders have been arrested and beheaded. The riolers seem to have made their plans poorly and to have been met by commendable activity on the part of the oMelats,~N. C. Daily News.
