THE NIGHT BOIL CONTRACTOR AGAIN. Lum Tak Wing, the night-soil contras tor, appeared on four different summonses for pot providing proper boats for the re ception of night-soil at different parts of the town. The boats be supplied were not of the proper sise, contrary to the terms of his contract with the Government, and con- trary to the requirements of the ordinance. A memorandum was put in, in which the Surveyor General certified that he had ex plained the terms of the contract to the defendant in the presence of the contractor. He had been warned that if he did not get the proper boats by the 27th May, he would be summoned. He has been making promise after promise to provide the proper bosts, and although every forbearance was show, he failed to do what was required. The Magistrate remanded the case till next Monday to see if the surety could not be made to carry out the contract.

CHINA AFFAIRS AT HOME. (From our London Correspondent.)
London, May 6th, 1876. The failure of Mr E. G. Love, and the ox
ordinary revelations which have come out in connection with it, have been the chief subject of conversation among those connected with China in city circles. There can be no doubt that the affair is one of the worst which has ever taken place, and no little sympathy is felt for the Shanghai firm who are among those victimised by the fraud. So far as I am able to learn, it ap- pears that Mr Love contrived to get false bills of lading for goods on board the Ellen Browse, which had been purchased by him, and the worst suspicions have been aroused here as to the intentions with regard to that vessel. Before you receive this you will have been in possession of the facts elicited by the enquiry into the short delivery of cargo at Shanghai, and will be able to form an accurate estimate of the nature of this unprecedented affair. Mr E. G. Love has disappeared since the bubble burst, and Mesars DowBurst of Manchester have issued a warrant for his apprehension but it remains to be seen. what the result will be, Probably, by this time he is safely beyond the reach of the law, and those who have been taken in will have to resign themselves to the loss of their money. I hear that two Banks connected with China have been losers by the affair to an aggregate amount of $15,000. As Mr E. G. Love's liabilities are stated at no less than £100,000, 1 sup- pose they may consider they have got off comparatively cheaply. As usual here this case bas been taken up to "point a moral and adorn a tale" with regard to the dia reputable practices connected with the China trade but it is really difficult to see in what way this is specially connected with the China trade except by the accident that that unlucky country was chosen as the destination of the vessel. The affair is simply an ordinary coarse and unprincipled swindle such an has repeatedly been per potrated before ; and might be perpetrated anywhere and has not been induced either directly or indirectly by any circumstances specially attaching to trade with China There is enough for which the China trade le responsible without blackening it with anything which does not directly emanate from it. The matter, however, is only another illustration of the working of the old principle of "giving a dog a bad name and hanging him", but still there is no necessity for re-hanging him on every pos- sible or impossible occasion,
With the exception of the above matter, little of special interest to China residents The defendant urged that the plaintiff has occurred on this side. Business gone had spoiled the dresses, having made them rally is extremely dull. The Bank rate is so tight that she could not walk or sit with 2 per cent, and bills are freely discounted them on. She put in a counter-claim of at it and 1 per cent, but so great is the $5 for damage for the material the plain-want of confidence that even these low tiff had spoiled.
rates of money do not tempt people into new enterprises. It is worth of reflection how much business could be done in China, with a normal rate of interest of 10 to. 12 per cent., if there were only such general security in that country as would throw it open as a field for the investment of capital which is here going begging at 13 per cent!
The plaintiff said he had told the do fendant that 12 yards of cambric were not suffolent for a dress and had asked her to buy an extra, yard so as to widen it. This she refused to do.
Mr Thompson, of Messrs Thompson and Hind, tailors, was called, and he proved that the dress in Court was too tight, and the defendant could neither walk nor sit with it on. According to the new fashion twelve parda were enough for a dress, though fifteen or sixteen yards were re quired for old-fashioned dresses.
