Our Helhew correspondent writes under date March 18th-
News reached this port yesterday afternoon by the Danish steamer Frajr that the Messageries Maritimes steamship Haiphong, which should have passed through here on the 24th last, en route from Hongkong to Haiphong direct and the Norwegian steamer Krim bound from Hongay with a full cargo of coal for Hongkong on account of the Société Francaise des Charbonnages du Tonkin, were ashore near the South Buoy at Hainan Head. The latter' vessel came to grief, in endeavoring to render assistance to the French vessel.

AS THEY REALLY ÁRE,
If the ancient laws were enforced to-day there would be little need of prison reform in the case of ordinary pelsoners, for it is laid down that each is to receive a bed, a chair and wholesome food. It is the same with the convict as with the ustried prisoners, each of whom is entitled to an allowance of one hundred cash per diem, but ales! this benign law has long since been neglected and forgotten in the Interests, of the prisoner although it is rigidly adhered to by the warden and the higher officials who fatten and wax wealthy on their illgotten galos, and not only deprive the prisoner of the allowance that rapacity to extort from their captiver unheard of Lis government grants him but have the fiendish
sums for even the common sečensillas of life.
It is not so long since that a very wealthy magisterial genius who presided over one of the Canton merchant was haled up before the local Yaméns, upon some frivolous prétext, and being negligent enough not to come with defence based on the immortal dollar, Was consigned to the tender mercies of the gaol officials to be brought to reason.
