INVASION OF HONGKONG.
ENEMYAT. THE PEAK.
HEAVY ATTACKÓN TYTAM RESERVOIR. The Island of Engkong was invaded last evening and fighting has been in progress all day. A small detament of the enemy's in fanty effected a lodgment at Victoria Peak on the evening of the ad inst., and, at the same time a post at Tyth Reservoir was heavily attacked, though the defending force made a gallant stand notwhstanding their immuni tion and stores werchearly run out.
There is, however no need for alarm, and business can be caducted as usual. The Royal Welch Fusils have been having a regimental field day, and the general idea is embodied in the tactill scheme above.
Fortunately at Tylm the defenders were scine of the best and'te attacking force, having lost heavily, was draw off under cover of night to their ships. It was thought probably that they intended to attad another point, but it was too dark to asertain if all or only part of them were gon. Early this moming two companies were detailed from Murray Barracks to accompany a convoy of supplies and ammunition to the farrison at Tytam and were ordered to proceedia the Naval Hospital, Happy Valley, and Yong-nei-cheang gap They had to advance with great care as it was, thought probable that sore of the enemy trould. be met with en route.
The battle has been poceeding dating the day, and the men have thoroughly enjoyed the onslaught and much apprecealed the outing:
CRICKET.
II.K. C. C. 24 GİRRISON,
This match was played on Wednesday and. Thursday last and resulted in an easy win for the Club. The chief feature of the game was the brilliant batting of Serponthe Smith, who played right through the Club's innings and made the highest score of the season. It was. a pity that Frankiio was unable to play
would on Thursday, as it
have been interesting to see how many runs were made, before the fall of the first wicket. Mackenzie and lay were the only men who helped Smith in putting together his score, 6 of the team only compiling 19 runs between them. Preedy bowled well for the Garrison, and took two wickets in two successive balls. Hayburst gave no end of trouble to the batsmen and,
with the exception, of Smith, nobody playeri him with entire confilence.
་
Fanshawe and Krieckenbeek batted well, the latter especially. Hayhurst played a very patient game and got out by putting one of Smith's off breaks into Ward's hands. The fielding on both sides was good, with the excep. tion of Krieckenbeck and Dixon, who were bath fielding at point. The latter is much too slow and inclined to be lazy,
The following were the scores:

(front a Correspondent.)
PARROI, December 28th. Christmas has come and gene. The usual dullness of this port has been relieved this year by an entertainment on the night of Box- 513,319.30 ing Day. It was unique of its kind since this 2.098.58 port hus been opened for foreign trade. The

it should be stated that, in addition to the above expenditure, there is a liability for furni ture forwarded from England, amounting to about 15 To defray this 100 of the original 1,000 provided by the Wesleyan Army and Navy Committee has been retained.
entertainment consisted of songs, recitation, 2,015.00 pianoforte playing, a farce, sketching, &c. 672 23 by the local amateurs. It was a gala day $2043 for Pakhoi that nobody could have anticipated. 417.00 All praise was due to Dr. J. H. Lowry, of the 299.651. M, Customs, who has been struggling with 93.71 many difficulties to make it a success, and the 70.30 recent infusion of young new blood among us has contributed not a little to the amusement of the evening. With the exception of the members of the Church Missionary Society, Gerinan Missionaries, and two or three of the lay members of our community who were kept away through indisposition, the whole of the Foreign community turned out to enjoy the treat, though the night was unfortunately the coldest of the season, but their trouble was more than repaid. By the kind consent of Mr. Paul H. King, Commissioner of Customs, the examination shed was tastefully decorated and converted into a theatre, under the direc tion of Mr. T Louriero, with admirably good effact, and great credit is due to him for the trans formation of a barren godown-as is generally the case with the Customs Examination shed into a nice little theatre in the course of only a few hours. Nothing seemed to be wanting even to the all necessary foot-lights. As to the performance itself, each and every one of the performers interpreted his part well, and there was not a hitch to mar the success of the evening, but especial mention must be made of those who distinguished themselves most, such as Madame Flayeth, whose pianoforte play ing was above that of the average amateur, and Mr. Rogers' sketching of some of the European celebrities as well as of a few of the local residents present amongst the audience was both artistic and amusing. By proposal of Dr. Lowry (the Director) Mons. L. Flagelle, Consul de France, kindly consented to act as Chairman.
This adverse balance will be transferred to the current working account, and will be partially covered by the above $203.62.

Piracy and robbery are still as rife as ever. It was only two weeks ago that a junk, with transit cargo to Kwangsi belonging to some foreign firms here, was intercepted by pirates on the way up, and part of the cargo was taken ashore and carried away, the consequence is the stoppage of all the trade between this and Kwangai until the route is cleared from pirates As this is the only port from which, the Southern Kwangsl draws its supply you can imagine how detrimental is, this state of things to trade if it is allowed to continue any longer."
