Answer I suppose it can boar 15 lbs. pressure. I should not have Hesitated to put 16 lbs. staara on. I gave instructions to the enginests not to carry more than 25 Ibs. and not to endanger the lives of the passengers,
Witness: May I ask how this man came to be found dead where he was?
Coroner; That is exactly what we are trying to find out.
Witness: How was it he was found there? 1 learn that he was sufocated under the hold.
Coroner: That is exactly what we are now trying to find out how he came by his death. We are now trying to enquire into. the state of the boilers. Aftor a pause the Coroner said he wished to make sure whether or not there were any written in- structions with regard to the examination of the boilers.

in the hold.
Coroner: We know that; we have seen the place where he was found dead. He was found lying in the scuttle in the forecastle. We have taken a great deal of trouble about this case, and had gone over to in- spect the place which was pointed out to us by the decease 's companion. This was supported by the evidence of the Captain himself.
Capt. Sands: The man had no business to be where he was; he was found in the forecastle where no passenger had a right to go,
Coroner: We could well understand that; the ship was full cf smoke and steam, and there was a rush to get up the lad der in the forecastle. The deceased run, and fell down. This was how he was found there I will just read to you the evidence taken in the matter, if you are bibstinate.

Mr Lang: No; not if it is very heavy, Coroner: I mean any reasonable bail. suppose Captain Ssode will go bail for you.
Mr Lang: Yes. The Coroner then fixed ball at $4,000 in two sureties of $2,000 each.

Capt. Bands: I don't want to be ostia-Something must be done" ate, and I don't want to hear the evidence.
The evidence was nevertheless read. No question was asked of the witness by the Jury,
Mr Robb, the superintending engineer of the Naval Yard, was examined. He had seen the piece of the boiler plate which burst. It appeared to be a inch plate. The plate had been patched. The tech- nical name of the patch was scoop patch. If a proper examination had been made by competent person-engineer or boiler- maker the weakness of the part would have certainly been detooted. He would have known that it was thin and his duty would have been to bore a hole and to ascertain the exact thickness.
!
Coroner: Having regard to the sound Indicated by the plate on the part burst, in It the imperative duty of the engineer on board a passenger ship to; have bored the plate and ascertained the thickness?
Answer: Most decidedly.
Coroner Now, without that process is, It possible to form anything like a proper judgment of the thickness of the plate and of the pressure it can stand ?
Answer: No.
Coroner: Having seen the plate now what pressure would you think it would have been safe to carry?
Answer: Knowing the weak state of the
plate now, I should not consider myself justified in carrying more than 10 lbs, and 1 don't think that only for a time, anybody would be justified in doing so. The only way I can account for the deterioration is that the plate was a de- fective one. It is the chief engineer's duty on H. M. ships to examine the boilers once. He is then to enter the every quarter. report in the engineer's log.
Coroner Supposing you bore a hole, what would you do to mend it? Patch it
Witness: We would change the plato, but our boilers are made very strong.
Captain Sands said that he was very sorry he bad given the Coroner the trouble. of reading that portion of the evidence.

On the first Race-day a melancholy avent occurred. at the not far distant Bubbling Well A well-dressed Chinaman, who was assisting at the Fête, which we described lately, impelled by curiosity to examine too closely the phenomenon of the bubbling water, paid the penalty of his zeal by donth. He fell forward into the water and could not be rescued in time to save his life. A countryman went down into the well upon a bamboo and attached a rope to the body. The unfortunate individual was unknown: a coffin has been provided by the Tung. sing-tang, a native benevolent society, pending the claiming of the corpse by the

A Correspondent draws our attention to the exceptionally pleasant bearing and ex cellent behaviour of the English blue jackets now in port, For the last few days, he he writes, full liberty has been given to the men of Charybdis and Hornet. The former has, as we know, lately arrived to take the place of the Thalia, now homeward bound; and this being the first general liberty given to the ship'e-company we cannot but remark the unimpeachable good conduct on shore, The Temperance Hall has been their principal resort, and the manager informs us that they are the best and most courteous set of men who have visited Shanghai. Many of them speak of the Hall in the most appreciative terms; and one of the officers remarked to the manager that he did not really know what the men would do hero without it. We can fally endorse the encomiums of our correspondent.

TIENTSIN,
28th April, 1876; The annual meeting of landrenters took place at the British Consulate on the 25th instant. As usual at tuose meetings every- thing passed off amicably and smoothly, It soome to me that the renters have great reason to be satisfied with the management of their affairs for the past few years. The outgoing Council presented a balance sheet showing I am told nearly Tis. 9,000 to the good. Of this. amount, the three lines of steamers trading to the port contributed about Tis. 5,000, and, considering that the greater portion of the band is given up to their use as wharf, the payment is by no means too large. Wharfage dues on cargo landed and shipped by foreign merchants, and on the tribute rice brought by China Merchant's steamers, figure at something like Tls. 1,900. Sailing vessels paid about Tls. 250 as mooring fees, while tons upon tons of heavy machinery landed for the two arsenals paid nary a cent.
discussion on the unfair levy of the wharfage dues led to no result. The man- agement of the foreign cemetery was veated in the Municipal Council, and a proposal was unanimously carried that the walls and gates should be put in a state of thorough repair, the expenso coming out of the Municipal funds, The Councillors for the Macpherson, Cordes, and Moore. year are Messrs.

ozeed £9,621,638, leaving a net ocasion of gold to the country of £7,410,598, Dur- ing the same period the imports of silver amounted to £211,516,168, and the exports to £94,467,753, leaving a net balance of silver in India of £177,067,416, or a grand total of both metals of £274,468,013. In the 11 years preceding this period, from 1836-36 to 1845-46, when gold and silver were not separately distinguished in the re- turns, the imports of both metals together amounted to £31,256,881 and the exports to £6,802,147, the net balance left in the country being £25,444,734. Thus before the opening of the Indian trade the import- ations of gold and silver amounted to leas than 3 millions a year, but in the last 29 years these importations have exceeded 10 millions every year.

In defence it was pleaded that the ship was not liable.
A. Mitchell, sworn, stated :---Four casks of sherry were shipped on board the 8. 8. Flintshire in London, in good order and condition. I have had a survey on the other asks: I have not got the survey report: One of the casks was entirely empty, and another was landed in steros. I saw one oask about three or four days before the ship left. I went down to the Hatoba every day to see if my goods were landed. I saw one good cask, one partially empty, and an empty one: they were landed at the same time. They told me that the staves of one. cask were landed, but I never saw the staves, the casks were broken, by the act of God. I spoke to the Captain about it and he said I told him I should make a claim. I could not take steps about an action until the last morient because I could get no satisfaction about the fourth cask.
