We can hardly told the people beforehand what was going believe that the Government could be to be done, and that when all was settled participators in any such miserable they would be paid a proper price for their affair.

the Shanghai Courier, seems to have been lately made by the representatives of the press in Hongkong. On the occasion of the Farewell Dinner given to Sir Arthur Kennedy, His Excellency referred to the recommendation of a "wonderful gentleman in Peking" that Hongkong should be re- ceded to the Chinese Government, vigurs ously stimulating his hearers to resist all such attempts, and to "battle that Chris tian to the death." The profession of Christianity on the part of the gentleman referred to certainly appears at first sight to have little enough to do with the matter, and we confess to having felt slightly puzzled to make out Sir Arthur Kennedy's menning. The version in the Dally Pres however, throws some light upon it, the Governor being there represented as having urged his audience to battle not "that Christian" but "that question," to the death. A alight thickness of utteranos might readily account for the mistake.

In putting it together again, he was unable to find the proper place for one of the springs, and after working at it for a couple of hours, ho loaded each chamber and put the revolver away. In the afternoon it occurred to him that the spring belonged to the trigger, and with the assistance of the mate be sucosed ed in placing it in its right position. Whils they were sitting talking together on a chest In the cabin, the Captain having the revolv- er in his band, one of the chambers was discharged, the ball entoring the mate's body just below the ribs on the right side, The Captain fancies he must have lowered the trigger unthinkingly. All efforts to save the mate's life were futile, and he died the following day. While conscious, he made a statement in the presence of five mombers of the orow, saying the occurrence Was an accident and exonerating the Cap. tain from all blame.

Hongkong, Maroti 19, 1877. SIE,In the interesting article on the Declaration of Paris, which appeared in your issue of Saturday, you have made a doubtless unwitting error, which, as it con- cerns this Agency, I would ank you kindly to correct. You quote as one of Reutor's Telograms the following

If, however, you will refer to your own fle of the 8th instant, you will find that the telegram ran thus
"The House of Commons has negatived the withdrawal from the Declaration of Paris of the clause abolishing privateers."
By comparing the two, it will be seen that the omissions in your last version changed senso into what you very properly stigmatias as little better than nonsense,
The matter may seem trivial, and I would not trouble y u, but I am sure you would not wish to pass uncalled for censure on our Telegram.
