Company of Hamburg has been called to sanc- tion the reduction of the share capital from 1,400,000 marks to 1,000,000. It is stated that several of the Company's steamers have been sold on advantageous terms, and that, owing to the slackness of trade, there is no inducement for acquiring new tonnage at the high prices prevailing at present. ENGLISH: The following essay is by a Chinese boy who is learning English: The Chinese monks have no cues but bald, they live in monastery all the year being devated men, whoes purposes of desire to be buddhas. They eat fast on the fast-days but not always; and did not marry wives; when they are old they choose the good boys as their sons, cut their hair changed their dresses and taught them the Comhandarents-first is the mercy. If a man has departed his life, his family the monks to go the house and the monks say buddhis bible, by the mean can take the spirit up the heaven, but this is the common habit.

of three or four hundred braves arrived here, On the 31st ultimo, it is true, another batch from Canton, in a Chinese gunboat, to re- inforce the handfull of men sent in August last. These men were, soon after arrival, dispatched to Limehow as their head-quarters. Still an. other snail body of men, it is asserted, will arrive here shortly from Canton. This is not the right thing to do, as the few men sent over bere every now, and then are like so many. head of cattles to be slaughtered, and cannot work wonders; they would soon be demoralized through reverses encountered while engaging overwhelming numbers of freebooters. It is necessary that a strong body of men be sent
at oiree if the actual state of affairs is, to be altered.

LESTER REIFF-Lord Marcus Beresford, one of the stewards of the Jacky Club who sentenced Lester Reiff, is very-out-spoken, says a London telegram of the 3rd October. He said (apparently to a Press representative): "It is not customary for the Jockey Club to discuss the details of evidence, but in order that our American friends may not feel that Reiff has been harshly, or unjustly treated, I may say that his riding of De Lacy was as palpable and barefaced an instance of not try. ing to win as ever I saw in all my experience. With all respect for Mr. Luggin's opinion, we were not dealing with Reiff on what he did at the turn into the straight, but on what he did at the finish. Regard for Mr. Whitney would prevent the stewards of the Jockey Club arriving at any decision not supported by the strongest evidence. Lester Reiff got a salary
Trade in Pakhoi is very slack at present compared with same period in previous years. Traffic between this and Kwangsi has been stopped for nearly two months as goods cannot be taken either way without being intercepted by the thieves, who in some instances levy heavy black-mail on the goods which are too bulky for them to carry off. Consequently the large quantity of foreign goods, especially Cotton Yarn and Piece Goods, which usually find its way to Kwangsi, is being accumulated here, while those that have previously been despatched inland have either been robbed on the way or called back in time for safety.

THE LARGEST ANCHOR--An American paper says that the equipment department of the Charlestown Navy Yard bave finished the largest anchor ever made. For nearly two months men have been working on the big "mud hook," and the job was completed by welding the crown and shank. The anchor measures about sixteen feet in length, and will probably be sent to one of the new battleships or armoured cruisers! It is unlikely thát a larger size will be attempted for some time, if ever."
