WK learn that. Fillls' circus is likely to pay Hongkong a visit in the immediate future that is in a month or so.

And again there is Woodyear's circus, which is also doing a rattling good thing over in Manila just now.

THE Municipal Council of Penang bave decided to dispense with the services of Mr. Bint, "the Dog-Inspector," at the end of this year.

Tiit Gambling Ordinance stilt brings grist to the mill and bas now succeeded in filling the exchequer to such an extent that in desperation to get rid of the surplus the Government has sanctioned the scraping and pointing of the Maxistracy. There has also been a wild rumour abroad that the authorities are going to re-cover the reporters and lawyers table that now con- tafue about a ton of the consecrated dirt of filly generations, but we hardly think the present Administration would dare risk the wrath and censure of the China Mail by sanctioning such unparalleled extravagance.

A TELEGRAM from an Australian paper, repro- duced in another column, announces the death of Mr. Cleveland, ex-President of the United States of America, at the age of 54 years. As Grover Cleveland was bom in March, 1857, the statement of age would appear to be evidence of the accuracy of the news; but we doubt it. Reuter's Londos agent, generally muddled-up as he is, could scarcely have failed to send such an Important event to the Far East. The telegram probably refers to the Duke of Cleveland, a titled nonentity of whom nobody knows anything worth knowing.
THE E. and A. Co's steamer Guthrie, Capt. Helms, got into trouble at Thursday Island on board one Chloeze passenger more than her her last trip down to the Colonies for having on proper complement. The Guthrie is just under 1,500 tons burthen, and is therefore only allowed to carry two Chinese passengers; on this occasion she had three, and the authorities threatened heavy peñaldes for the infringement of the law. It was expected, however, that the trouble would be got over by the Captain bringing his extra passenger back to Hongkong.
Tax Superintendent of Lower Perak (Mr. Denson) attributes the death of the two prospectors in Perak, Mesir. MacTavish and Nelson, to cholera. The medical officer at Teluk Anson states that Mr. Nelson was unwell before he started, and that Mr. MacTavish was, in his opinion, not strong enough for rough work in the jungle. The fatigue consequent on such a dealt track through the jungle, must have been very great, while their food was confined to tinned provisions and a very moderate amount of gin isken with the wṛler., An arated water manufacturer named Lam Kin was charged at the Magistracy on the 4th inst. with being in the unlawful possession of 450. mineral water bottles, which were the property of Messrs.
