The ordinary Chinese building contractor is not a qualified man. He can build a wall or put on a roof, but he knows nothing about strams and the weight carrying capacities of arches and so on, and thus he cannot be expected to look after the work properly. Besides, the more hollow walls he can build and the less lime he puts in his mortar the more profit, he makes, and so he wants looking after. Can we not have the Building Ordinance amend ed so that the employment of a qualified $10.80-architect to supervise the erection of all. but minor buildings is imperative?

FROM the Reuter's telegrams which we publish to-day it is very evident that there is a little friction somewhere between Prince Chun and the Kaiser. It certainly seems to us, if the Kaiser refuses to do away with some of his great display and Prince Chun remains obdurate, there will be no apology. If we recollect rightly, another celebrated personage mixed up with a mountain was left in who got much the same predicament and he had to cave in Prince-Chun may not be a mountain exactly, but he will certainly prove a match for Kaiser William where diplomacy is concerned.

August 16th is now a long time since I wrote you last, there is scarcely anything here worth recording,

The enquiry into. the Cochrane Street collapse has, as will have been noted by all who followed the evidence of Messrs. TOOKER and CRISP a given before Mr. HAZELAND yesterday, proved beyond a doubt that this great catastrophe, whereby no less than forty-three persons lost their lives, was due solely to jerry building. As a matter of fact the party wall between Nos. 37 and 34 was. no wall at all in the true sense of the term, but simply a brick trough, filled in with broken odds and ends of material That is to say, there was nothing to bind the wall together and it might well be regarded as THE letter of our Pakhai Correspon will tresses; Cutlery and Dinuer Services; Cooking Ranges and Kitchen wall of one brick, in thickness for all the show that the French are as busy down there was discharged witir a caution for attempting Utensils, Aspinal'e Enamels, &c, &c.
