the French troops under Colonel Dodds and the natives. The main army of the King of Dahomey was ordered out to oppose the French attack. The Dahomeyans were defeated and entirely.routed. The losses amongst the nativa forces were very heavy, and it le estimated that not less than 2,000 were left dead on the field of battle. The French losses are reported at a total of only 19 killed.
Hugo Leowry, a banker, has been convicted by the Berlin Criminal Court on a charge of fraud. The accused was the chief partner in the firm of Hugo Leowry and Co., bankers; of Berlin, which suspended payment in November last. He was sentenced to a term of two years and a half's Imprisonment.
Charlie Michell, the pugilist, appeared at the Bow-street Police Court this morning on ■ charge of assault. The prosecutor was an old man, and the assault was shown to have been of a most savage nature, Mitchell was con- victed and sentenced to two months' imprison-

SHIPPING DEPRESSION AND SHIP
*COMPANY PROMOTING.
If the present depression continues for another twelve months, as is the general opinion, the result will prove to have been the benefactor of leglimate shipowning, as it is impossible for any permanent Improvement to take place until many of the pernicious systems of ship Company promoting are swept away, once and for ever. It is astounding the number of young shipown- ing Gems that have within the last few years come into existence; totally uncalled for, mischievous in the extreme to legitimate shipowning, and, in
great measure Accountable for the present disastrous state of shipping affairs. We have-to-often alluded to the circulars distilbuted about the country inviting the public. to become shareholders in new ship Company ventures, and the great Inducement calculated, "on paper" for their so doing, that we will not go into detail on this point, beyond pointing out that the dividends they refer to as having been made in existing Companies under their management, and the dividends they expect to make for the new Com panies, are absolutely illusory, as they in no way prove prat even a safe 5 percent Is attainable. It Is triple enough to prove that a boat under their management has averaged to per cent, or if per cent. for the last three or four years; say that a boat costing £20oco has paid 15 per cent. for four years that is £11.000; deduct 5 per cent. per annum as a fair return, that leaves £8000 to meet a depreciation of from £6.000 10 £10,000, according to the present value of the beat. So that the bait of a 10 or 15. per cent. dividend should not be swallowed before first ascertaining if depreciation is allowed for, and also the difference in market price.. A boat may havG been contracted for at £9 or £10 per ton, whereas now £6 109, or £7.10s. is the outside price.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1892.
The dally press ably seconds the Broken Hill directors in blaffing the malers. By the way, the "foreign" miners are acting level-headedly in not black-legging. We don't wish to enlarge on this theme.

"HOW SHALŁ WE DECIDE THIS
QUESTION?"
Now, which is the worse to have no appetite for. your dinner, or to have no dinner for your appetite? There are lots of people on the ons side or the other of this question: When "good digestion waite on appetite and health on both," that is the Idos!
Like many a company in distress the share- holders of the Central Blocks and the Barrier have instructed their English representative "to cable any negotiations for the sale of the pro-attitude of a person towards his meals." But most of perty,” Remote hope.

Perhaps the most homarcus feature of the Broken Hill strike in the cheerful persistence with which the capitalistic press keeps shifting ahead the date when sufficient hands to work the mines are "confidently expected to resume operations."

of better to have an appetite without a dinner, because, short of the starvation line, a hungry man is bealthy man; whereas a man who ought to eat and doesn't feel like eating, stands in need of "alterations and repairs."

Cool check! Two men were killed in the Templestowe (Vic) antimony mine, under con- ditions that reflect much blame upon the company, and now the directors appeal. to the public for assistance for the relatives of the dead men.

An enterprising broker, of clerk, conceives the iden that the manage ment of a ship Company is a tocrative and steady-going position, for rot only do the man- agement fees and salary pre highly remouer. alive, but other emolumen's and pickings con- siderably augment the income.

Fair support comes in, but this is not enough to Induce the builders to go on with the would-be owner. The store-dealer is then resorted to: he must go 1,000 on a contract to supply deck, engine, and cabin store at reasonable prices--not lowest current pilces for good Articles." A captain is found who can rake up another: £1,000 on condition that he gets high wages.
