the flames under control, and despite a con-
tinuous stream of water which was brought to play up the most dangerous parts of the burning structure, buge: tongues of fi mes shot out occasionally and provided excellent specia- cular effect. The fire was got under after about two hours of hard fighting, and the firemen did not leave until long after midsight, the fire even then continuing in a smouldering state and the wise precaution was taken of leaving a man on watch all through the remainder of the sight. One cause which militated against the effectual putting put of the fire was the pre- Bence of cotton-wool in the godowns, which tended to spread the flames to a considerable extent.
It is not known as to how and where the fire originated. The gonds, which were 'stored is the godowns were at the time insured for about, we are given to understand, $73,000, in the Fook On Isaurance Company.

ANOTHER ESTADLISITMENT, OPENED.
The N. C. D. None of 28th ulto, says Yesterday afternoon the Yangtzepto Deck, which has recently been completed by its proprietors, the Now Engineering, and Ship. building works, was formsily opened. The ceremony was a modest one, only a few in- vitations having been issued. The bad weather, however, did not prevent a good attendance of spectators and on the occasion of the opening of a dock; which leads an amphibious life dur- lug its existence, the rain could not be regarded as an unfavourable omen. Some five small vessels had previously been on the blacks, but the docking of the C. N. 8. Kinling was the official commissioning of the new enterprise.

The Chief Justice in the course of a lang thy judgment anid--The defendest in this action was sued as guarantor of ene Leung King Wo, an officer in the Imperial Bank of China, deceased. It is impossible to make a satisfactorily concise summary of the facts of the case, and it is hardly necessary, as the defendant had, judgment on all points in the action, except one, and it is in respect of this part of the judgment that ba is appealing. Stated briefly the point on which judgment
went against the defendant was in respect of the Chief Justice, had held that they were what were called the King Kee accounts, He,
Leung King Wo's private accounts with the Bank of Tientsin, which were over- drawn. He held further that the circumstances in which these accounts were kept amounted to an admission by Leung King Wo as to their accuracy; that it was proved as far as much an account could be proved, and that the defendant was liable for the overdraft. Then came the question of law which depended on the change in the nature of the duties of Leung King We from manager at first to agent. Such a change in the nature of the duties of the person guns. anteed would, in the absence of notice and assent, abeolve the guarantor, but it had seemed to him that if there was running through both liability, the reason for this relief would cease to exist and the guarantor would coptions [liable.
