As to languages, to Hongkong Chinese and German will be found useful, for a great deal of business is done here by Chinese and German merchants Communication with Manila and Tonkin being constant and rapid there is no doubt that French should be taught in our schools, while a smattering of Spanish might be advantageous.

The answer may be unhesitatingly witten down. It is a quantity unknowo, we suspect, even in Feking. It lu like the Russian language-s thing that no man living fully comprehends-to expansiva that ons 'can never be sure of having touched a italt'; yet reducible-somewhat like an artichoko-to a nut. We have heard it osilmated at £60,000,000 Mr. von Brandi set it down, a while ago, at prenant enlumps of The Timer, at Tle, the equiva. bent of £2,000,000 1 and wa uspect that Mr. Parker is most nearly right. The amount collected throughout the Empire may be £60,000,000, or any other som ose prefers to name; but the perusal of Mr. Parker's letter Leaves un perwanded that he has defined the receipts of the Imperial Exchequer with approxi- mate correctness. When we have reached this conclusion, however, we are little further ad- vanced, because we have to realise that Imperial revenue and expenditure in China are a totally different quantity froes Imperial revenus and expenditure in England. Reverting to our simile of the artichoke, China is composed of number of sections clustered round a central core, yet each Integral in Itself. Every pro wisen having to provide its Gwa Jacome and expenditure, the calls upon Peking unless in each are comparatively small emergencies as rebellion or externs! war, and then the provinces uro’required to furnish an extra contribution.

The hearing of the case, the owners of the steam- ship Fasting w, the the owners of the steamship Siraiksik, being a claim by the Chias Naviga rendered to the Straikesk, was resumed and concluded in the British Admiralty Court at Shanghal befare Six N. Hannen, Chief Justice, on the roth instant, Mr. W. A. C. Plait (Mears. Johnson, Stokes, and Master) appeared for the plaintiffs, and M. H. P. Wilkinson for the defence. The following report of the proceedings is taken from the North China Daily News of 11th October
Mr. Wilkinson, in addressing the Court for the defendants, said the sum of Tis. 10,000 was paid Into Court Excause it was considered to be suf ficient remuneration for the services rendered. The plaintiffs' claim was based upon the highest
zain lor salvage, whereas all they had done simply amounted to towage. When the Pro- fing came up to the Straits, it was tres that the latter had lost the blades of her propeller, but she was riding comfortably at anchor, and the only thing she required wastowage to Shanthal. The Facing was on her way to Shanghai and it was so very great inconvenience for her to low the Strother to Shanghai, for the typhoon was over and the weather was improving. The breaking of the tow open was not unexpected. and there were cases reported in which treat deal more had been done end a considerably lets sum than iba equivalent of Tis, 10,000 had been awarded. No doubt the officers of the Pasting showed skill, but there was nothing very exits- ordinary in what they had done, and, taking everything lato consideration, Tis. 10,000 was ampie for the plaintiffs.
Mr. Platt, id reply, said the first point made by the defence was that there was a contract by which the remuneration was to be fixed by the respective owners upon arrival in Shanghai,
