CANTON NOTES.
[From the Trun Wan Fat Po.]
- INCENDARISM.
About 90 robbers attacked à bouse on the 17th ultimo at Nam Yat, belonging to the Go family, "Bolng elated with their succes they started upon, another house but found the door strongly barred against them. The inmates, under the delusion that the robbers would not resort to violence, refused them admittance though they were threatened by the rubbers that they would set the house alight. This threat was, however, excuted and the owners off the property not only lost their money but - their house as well,
an artful SUBTERFUGE.
A daring robbery was committed on the 28th ultimo in Shan Yat, when thirteen houses were robbed, the robbers, about too strong overpowered the constabulary and had no difficulty in carrying off about $10,000 worth of goods.
On the same night a family elder named Chang was giving a dinner to commemorate his return altera long absence in foreign lands, to which were invited all his relations and friends. As a precautionary measure they. hired soldiers to guard against the robbers while they were enjoying themselves. Just before dinner a number of chairs, with four chair-coolies and a great retinue, arrived, hav- ing the style of men of importance'ns if they were mandarins and, of course, the soldiers allowed them to pass into the banqueting hall, As soon as they were all within the doors of the house, the men took off their sham clothes and showed the arms which they had con- cealed upon them. Chang shouted for help but before the soldiers had time to comt another party of robbers, who had been waiting outside, overpowered the soldiers who had been left on watch, while those inside completed the robbery,
CHINA NAVIGATION OFFICE THREATENED.
Although many more soldiers have been quartered in Canton than ever before, the robbers still continue in as great a number and the junks along the river have to suffer
as much as ever.
Quite recently the China Navigation Co. received a letter, from the robbers demanding the sum of $10,000 to be sent to them at Fat Shan and threatening that if the money was not paid they would attack the Company's steamboats, The China Merchants handed the letters to the Mandarin of the Nam Hoi district and asked His Honour, to enquire into the
matter.
A DISASTROUS FIRE.
A great fire is reported to have occurred at Sak Loong in which 200 houses were destroyed. The fire originated at 2 p.m. on the 1st instant in a shop in a back street and raged until 9 a.m. the next morning.
DARING ROBBERY, '
fortunes, have
built
fine houses
A family named Lee has been resident at a village for some time, Lately some of the members of the family having returned from foreign lands where they had made their and furnished them very gorgeously. This made the robbers very anxious to rob them and so on, the 29th ultimo they gathered together about too men outside the village and waited an oppor. tunity to rob the villagers. The police, not having received information concerning the robbers movement, divided their forces and allowed the brigands to gain access within the city walls. They went straight to the police station and after overcoming the remaining guardians of the peace, tied them up and stole their arms. All was now plain sailing, so they started and robbed eight houses just as a reminder that the inhabitant's. should keep greater watch on their goods and chattels, being satisfied with their night's work, they returned the following night and robbed some more houses, the police being powerless against them as they had already stolen all the police
men's arms.

The Venerable is of the barbelte first class, and will when finished be one of the biggest vessels we possess. When launched she was only a baby, a third of her proper weight, Full-grown she will displace 15,000 tons. She is to steam at 18 knots an hour, and will carry 2.040 tons of coal. Her crew, exclusive of admiral and his staff, will number 773 souls.
In armament she will have four tzin. breech- loading wire guns, 12 6iu, quick-frîng ; 16 12- pounders, 12cwt quick-firing, two 12-pounders, Bcwt, quick-firing, six 3-pounder Hotchkiss, right. 45 Maxims, torpedo tubes (submerge) four; number of torpedoes-14 18in., five in.
The building of the hull has been accoin- plished in remarkably good time. The first keel plate was laid on 2 Jan, last.

Admissing to the dockyard was only by ticket, but there was a great throng of visitors be seen. Bunting and decoration were all upon platforms high up where everything could around. The scene was quite a gay one, despite the dismal weather.
The train being somewhat late the clergy began the religious part of the ceremony the moment Mrs. Chamberlian had climbed the many steep ladders reaching up to the platfonn just at the ship's big nose, the ram.
It is a pretty service, much more than mere naming, for prayers are said for the lives of all who will go down to the sea in the new vessel.

Mrs. Chamberlian, dressed in bright scarlet and carrying a large bouquet of white lilies, was evidently very happy, though extremely nervous.
She talked merrily to everybody, walked up and down the side of the hull, and asked what everything was for and ali about it. But when the Admiral showed how the bottle of wine was to be broken, she evidently felt that a large responsiblility was upon her. There was, however, to be no fear of mischance.

In a fine workmanlike way Mrs. Chamberlain took the tools, the rope was cut, and away went the ends, and away beneath the hell went a rumbling like distant thunder as the timbers were knocked loose!
"She goes!" In a moment she was gone. Out in the Medway's mouth she was floating as proud-fanking and as comfortable as could be. She bad glided into the water with less splash than a chute, boat.

These officers had volunteered for service in South Africa.
