HONGKONG, MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 1877.
A CONSIDERABLE period of time has been occupied in the Police Court and a Naval Court at Shanghai during the last two weeks in investigating a series of rather extraordinary disturbances on board the steamship Consolation, commanded by Captain Roper, who is, we believe, all known in this port. As the proceedings

The Court took half an that was to some extent supported by the hour to consider its decision, which spoke falling barometer and, possibly, the aspect in condemnatory terms of the general discipline of the steater since a few days after leaving England, The chief on gineer's (Campbell's) certificate was sus pended for six months, and he was ordered to be imprisoned for four weeks

Cummings, the third engineer, was sentenced to four weeks' imprison- ment with hard labour, and ordered to pay one-third of the costs of the Court and his maintenance in geol, and to be discharged the ship. Captain Roper was warned that the Court considered that he had shown great want of judg. ment, of tact, and of temper, in the government of his crew. Judging merely from the evidence the decisions of the Court appear to be very sensible ones.
Tas Harbour Master (Captain Thomisti) has issued the following notios dated Aug. 2ad-
