One satisfactory feature, however, of the whole business is that the skill of gang of forgers, who are un- doubtedly actively engaged in the Far East, scems very casily to be surpassed by their audacity. Their notes are clumsily made without regard to thickness of paper, signa- tures, and many other defects of which alone the banks are cognizant. This is fortunate for those who are not in the habit of cramming a bandful of notes into a wallet, and will greatly assist the average man of business in detecting any fraud.

AT the instance of Inspector Bake: A Pereira, a clerk, residing at the Inspector's quarters, Kennedy Town Cattle Depût, was charged with wantonly discharging a gun in the public street to the common danger of the public, on the 9th instant, and also with assaulting a native. He admitted the charges, and after being cautioned was fined $1 for the first offence, and ordered to pay 53 as compensation to the native.
THE placing of trucks, boxes, and other articles in the public thoroughfare is becoming a common practice, and although time after time various owners have been summoned and small fines imposed, the abstraction goes on apace.

ANOTHER BANK CLOSED.
Matters in Tientsin are not improving at all. No cargo is going in as yet, another large cash shop or native bank has closed, and the Viceroy's official bank has also shut. The following is the Viceroy's explanation of the matter:-"On account of the bad state of trade in the City, and the scarcity of specie and cash, also because the cash was so bad, I tried to find ways and means to relieve, the financial situation, and I opened the Official Bank in order to draw money from the province. I also sent officials to have momentous consequences. closely investigate any cases of false coinage. Now there is more money in the place, and the banks promise to go, on all right, and the police have been strictly warned not to allow any money to be exported. There is there- fore no longer any need for my bank and it was consequently closed on the 1st, and The daily rate of exchange will hereafter be regulated by the naliye banks and posted up, and not be controlled by me, Any notes of the Official Bank still in cir- culation will be duly cashed."
