He thought it would be only fair to the defendant; the woman and complainant both swore that the money was in a purse, whilst he defendant stated that it was not in Mr Russell thought there was evidence to show that he had taken the money feloniously, but it would be much better that the defendant should have the benefit, of a trial by Jury.

As to cleanliness, the place was kept clean by rubbing rosin ( carbolic acid) on the floor, and not only bad smells were dissipated but even the exhalations of human beings were not perceived, so that a visitor was apt to forget this Hei Teal was a place of confinement. Ming (probably a member of the mission) told me that in former times, the prisoners were get to work on building walls and repairing roada, but that Sir Arthur Kon- nedy commenced the system of confining them in the Gaol and not allowing them to work outside. The object of carrying stone, shot drill and crank was to give thom hard labour, and to exercise their muscles in order to direct the circulation of their blood, and to prevent the diseases, arising from inactivity.

Among the Instruments of punishment there were the chain and the stocks; they were instruments for the fact. There was also the whip (cat) which was made of ropes. When lashes were adminis torod to the number of fifty, the skin besace lacerated. Persons dangerous to the peace and good order were branded with a ring on their neck and then sent out of the place, and not allowed to remain in Hongkong, but some of them tried to obliterate the ring brand by paring it off with a knife, and then rubbing over the wound with ointment, but a soar would be left, and whon the men were re-arrested by the Police, they would be kept in im- prisonment again, in proportion to the magnitude of their original offence. was the law, and it was upheld.

(Herald, Dec. 20th.) The recent death of a faithful old canine friend and companion, known to many men- bers of the community as "Wilcox," evoked the following impromptu upitaph, which is published by permission of poor old "Wilcox's" disconsolate mestor. We may premise by stating that "Wiloox's" remains underwent a post-mortem examination, and that the cause of death was traced to that common malady-worms in the heart.

His Excellency sighed and said that the scholars were chiefly the children of poor families who went to the School only to study for two or three years and then, left with an indifferent knowledge acquired therein, to obtain employment, and that it was on account of this that there were very few accomplished scholars. From this the con- versation turned on the fairness of the foreign method of administering justice, in the dispensation of which there was no partiality whatever, that in the Gaol wherein people of all nationalities were confined for offences, they were treated all alike without respect of parsons. I thereupon enquired if I could pay a visit to the place. His Excellency gladly replied that I could, and then gave directions to Captain O'Callaghan to send chairs to take to thirty and had Consul Robertson to accompany us. There were two superintendents of the Gaol, one Chief and one deslatant. When we arrived there, the Assistant (7 acting) Superintend

The only buildings in the town of any architectural pretensions or in any way remarkable are two Bulgarian churches, a Turkish mosque, and a large hospital, bullt during the time when Midhat Pasha was governor-general of the province. Still the town, lying in a valley, bowered among a multitude of fruit- trees, has a picturesque appearance; and, boing sheltered by high ground from the cold north wind, enjoys an exceptionally mild and healthy climate.

The (Taxon Kucho approved his resolution and made it known to the rebel leader Hemmi.
