That he also intended publicly to give expression to the baired of the officials to as we can hardly doubt, and certainly be could scarcely have used language better suited to produce a rist and drive us from the place.
The prefect's last words were to this affect: *I commend you to sell the property in question to your neighbour on the east side, and falling that I shall purchase i myself. See that you do not disobey my words or you will suffer for it? ***In there circumstances we could do uchtag else than instruct Sang to comply with all the prefect's orders. As yet there has been no farther word from the prefect, and we cannot tell whather be intends to insist on the famidiate
surrender of the property or not.

You will be gladio hear that he stood the ordeal.with. great calmacus and courage, Indeed our lear was that he might be too bold, and endinger himself unnecessarily.

He said it was impossible, how- ever, for us to see the Governor, but that he would speak to him about the matter. What the result may be we do not of course as yet know,.

The crow of the steamer Bennington, who remarkable voyage and unexpected arrival at this port is til fresh in my memory, were unquestionably aived owing to her bulkheads being strong enough to stand the great pressuresgalast them.

MR. CHAMBERLAIN AS "CHEAP JAGRI
In the Inventors' Review for December, Mr. Wilson says of Mr. Chamberlain's speech at the Natal banquet:-
He has begun beautifully, Old Age Pensions gre forgotten, all the trappings of the popular demagogue ate laid aside like the uosaleable Wares of the Cheap Jacic of a sir, sud Mr. Chamberlain has become an "Imperialist." At the dinner given by the Agent-Geteral of Natal, Mr. Walter Peace, on the 6th ult, he spoke, not "us'a uzalexmas, but as a "Jings 7" not a man of prudence in the management of difficult pollical affairs, but as an investor in colonial, stocks, or a "ball" of the paper wealth of Rhodesta. But he did kis part well, and effi- clently, as always. We never reid any of Mr. Chamberlain's speeches without thinking what s splendid commercial traveller he must have been. The last article ho takes in hand is always the finest he ever had to vend, and tow he vands "Imperialism " better than any.

* COLLISION.—The Trelawny (5) ́w, the Countess (3).--Admiraliy Division ; 5th and 6th December —This colliton occurred lathe Bospheres. The Trelawny was on a vojega from Newport to Constantinople with coal, and shortly before 11.15 am, on the agth March, 1834, Seraglio Point, in the Bosphorus, Hlaing to her port anchor, beading about N.E., and a good anchor witch was kept on
board, when the Counters came up and let go her anchor about 40 yirdı fram the Trelawny abreast of her past anchor, and dangerously close to her. The wind was for NE, bowing strong the weather was clear but cloudy, and the consol was setting - down the Bosphorus at the rig of about six knots an hour. As the two wessels kept shecalog towards each other, the Trelawny's starboard anchor was let go, and as much chile an. was possible was paid out in order to keep her more steady. It was shortly afterwards found that the Trelawny bad dragged, and that the Countess, which had taken a sheer to hoard, was overlapping her starboard quarter: The Countess was loudly balled to thick away chalo, but she neglected to do 16 and shortly afterwards sheered back to port, and with her poit bow stick the starboard quarter of the Trelawny, damaging her. The Countert was sgalt bailed to slack away chain, and at laut proceeded to do so, but her chain fouled the Trelawny's propeller. Both vessels dragged pustil off Seragilo Paint, when the anchors of the Triawny held and the vessels swang head to curent, but continued to touch one another Abora.p.m. the Countie steamed aboad up the attrboard alda of the Trelawny to
arder to clear bar chain, which was still foul of the propeller, but when she was about on her starboard bow ker engines were stopped, and ake was allowed to fall on the starboard bow of the Trelawny, doing farther damage. It was contended that the Countess originally gare the Trelawny a foul berth; that she siglected to pay out chalo when requested to do, sa;: that she was im: toperiw allowed to sheer Into the Trakanny, and her cable to fool that weud's propellers and that proper measures were not taken to clear the chain from the propeller. It was alleged in defence that the Trelawny win anchored with an improper scope of cable that her engines were improperly allowed to be la such a condition that they could not be nied when required; and that she failed to pay out cable when requested." His Lordship (Sir F. Jeune) held that the Countess was at a proper distance from the Trelawny, and did not give | her foul baith,. If the Trelawny had bun sufficiently alert, as she should have been, there was action, he wild, which the might have taken, but did not take, which would or might tive avoided the calli lon. All that she did warto drop her starboard anchor. She ought to hive geared out her port chain as soon as she started drifting, whereas it was not geared out for a considerable time afterwards, for which the Trelawny must be held to blame. He pro-
nounced her alone to blama.
People do not take enough account of the commercial form of Mr. Chamberalah intellect. His political opponents are forever making up old programmes, and throwing them at his head with the charge of inconstancy. It is absurd. Mr. Chamberlain is never inconstant, never a betrayer. He honestly, and to the best of his ability, serves his own pollitent interest, and those of the parly in whose rank he may for the time be. If it be dispossessing of the land- he has to advocate to plese bis musters of the moment, then he wordly devotes them to perdition with a heartiness se man could
