PAXVALENCE OF PIRACY, Daring a very pleasant run through the Delta, and op the West River to Wachow, (a distance of 136 miles over the course) en board the SteamI5- boat Company's well-found steamer Lung Skan (Capt. G. F. Morrison) I saw and heard a good deal of placy both in the thickly populated Delta and on the West River and its farge tri- butaries. We had been steaming down river and through the Delta only stopt are hours (we left Canton at 9 zm.) when we approached the village of Yung Kee on the banks of a creek running into the channel through which we were travelling at the rate of about ġ knots per hour. As soon as we got near it the Captain called my altention to the mɛn and chlidren on the store. This," said be, “ is a well known villagewhere desperadoes ol every descrip'lon dwell, I con- sider the best name for that creik is Pirate Creek because the majuity of the inhabitants of that village are eliber pirates or persons con- nected with or descendants of pirates, You just walt until we are slaaming pretty close fashore and you'll then hear them cursing us for all they are worth.

The startling allegations of the galians officer seemed thoroughly justifiable, for no sconer were we within earshot of the villagers than they indulged fa volleys of the most offen- siva opiibels, the children fofalog in and mak ing, the while, indecent jestores which are well paderslazd la Chins to indicate intentional ins sult, contempt, and bliter batred.

TO-DAY,
Lest tourists should by any possibly be in doubt as to the kind of hotel accommodation that is to be found in this historics! settlement I avall myself of this opportunity to state that Victoria Hotel, managed by Metira Maður and Farmer, faily meets all the requirements of the travolilag pabile. It is a west edifce, siry, and well situated. The bedrooms are scrupulously clean and the table is fireproachable, while the wines and spirits supplied In the bar are of the best and most popular brands only.

I could go on writing colomos about this settlement, its genial and hospitable inhabitants, the Club, the Customs Club, the palatial boogi and consulates, the conteous young gentleman who officiate at the Chinese telegraph office, necessity for the harbanz authorities to clear the way for the huge Honzitang larra entering the port, the numerous missionary estabilabmenis hat the exigencies of space would, I feel sure, be pleaded as a very good reason for cutting dawa. The Telegraph is not the largest paper la the world-though doubtless the most popular-and I will therefore conclude with the remark that there is reason for hellewing that the annual 1847-The Corn and Navigation Laws 405- returns of the trade of this port will be in every way satisfactory and unusually interesting.
