LONDON, 5th February. There is great imeasiness in German ship- ing circles regarding the fate of Hamburg vessels bound with contraband to Vladivo stock. The recent Japanese seizures of German vessels has caused consternation, although the Russian attacks on neutral shipping are viewed with comparative in- difference, the shippers are

Defendant re-called, said he did not know the cargo was rice, until the junk reached Cap suiman. The man with whom plaintiff said he made the agreement to carry the rice, had DG authority to receive cargo. Witness, however, accepted the heavy freight he had charged.
Plaintiff re-called, said, after much pressing. that he did know that it was illegal to export rice. He swore that every jar when put on board the junk was intact.
Mr. Harding submitted that the plaintiff was enutled to succeed, on the ground that there must have been arrangements made for the carriage of this rice. There was no doubt that the loss took place on the junk.

In one line, he has particularly come to the front. It is out of the multifarious duties of a colonial Governor to attend the schools on prize-giving day and to make a speech. The Shanghai Times observes that it is in the performance of this duty, that Sir Matthew has displayed a grasp and insight of what is true education. His speeches to the British and European school-children were full of sound sense. He urged upon them the neces- sity of uprightness, courage, and work. The buy who lacked these altrdures would neverbecome a prosperous business man and good citirea. In one school, he noticed that geography was somewhat scumped as a study, so he preached a little humily on the subject, gently upbraiding the teachers for their laxity and the scholars. for their indifference.

CHINESE NEW YEAR.
NEARING THE END.
After three days of "glorification" and up roar, longkong has at last returned to its normal appearance and condition. It does seem
strange that the Chinese, who are usually a staid and dignified people, should throw over all decorum at their New Year. Perhaps it is this overflowing of spirits, acting as a sort of safety valve, which allows, them for the remainder of the year Lo live quiet and peaceful lives. Certain it is that none could abandon themselves with greater zest and enthusiasm to the pur- pose of pleasure making, and if one might judge from outward appearances they succeed. ed to their heart's content.
NEW YEAR'S EVE.
Lloyd's being unable to discover any evid ence that Russia is arranging to supply the Baltic feet with coal and provisions beyond Diego Suarez Bay, in the extreme north of Madagascar, has cancelled two large ship-loads of arms and ammunition bound from Libau, in the Baltic, to the East Indian Archipelago and Saigon, the capital of French Indo-China.

ANOTHER NEW STEAMER. Scott's Shipbuilding and Engineering Com- pany, Creenock, have contracted to build a further steamer for the China Steam Naviga tion Company. The business connection between these firms is probably unique,says the L. & C.

Of this fleet, the oldest is the Pekin, of 2,232 1ons net, built in New Year's Eve, if a European expression 1873 by Messrs. A. and J.

When a well-known local gentleman makes a genuine offer to lease the cabin accommoda. tion on board of a ship for ten years and take all risks it is certainly proof that, in his opinion, the vessel is well-fitted and likely to be sought after by the travelling public. Such an offer was made within the past few days to the local agents of the steamer Rhenunia, and although it was naturally refused Messrs. Melchers & Co. have the satisfaction of knowing that this pioneer ship of the Hamburg American line's new service is likely to appeal tomany persons having occasion to travel on the sea. Yesterday afternoon she was thrown open to the inspection of a large number of mem- bers of the foreign community of this Colony, at the invitation of the Incal agents, and Cap- tain Betsrens and officers were "at home" on board to visitors from four to six o'clock when everybody who could do so availed themselves of the invitations issued, and enjoyed the hospitality extended to them.
