LOOKING FOR A CAT,

LONDON, 14th June, 1877. Dr. Ayres, your Colonial Surgoon, is Jikely to become quite a celebrity in a cer- tain way, on account of the opinion which, upon the basis of his experience as to pri Honors in Hongkong Gaol, he has ventured to express regarding the effects of opium smoking. The point I belleve in likely to be taken up strongly by the Anti-Oplum Soolely, who could never bring themselves to admit that there was a possiblity of opium being used in moderation. Anyone

If this is to be done, their position will not be very enviable. No doubt on some occasions Bank Agents in China have noted too independently of home instructions; but at least it appears in the present instanco-as is too frequently the case-a bad selection has been made of the particular persen, of whom to make an example.

Another Japanese iron-clad has been launched; and it is said that the Chinese are about to make investments in one or two also, People here are generally quite delighted when either the Chinese or the Japanese obtain new men-of-war, never apparently having any idea sa to the direo tion in which they are most likely to be used.

There is nothing new about the Conven tion business.
