style of caligraphy. The names of the Teuola and their captains, the ports, freight, and dates given were found to correspond exactly with entries in the shipping registar, and the forged documents were most accurately drawn out. The offender incured the freights in his own name, and showed the policies to the victims, who were thus disarmed of all suspicion. The frauds were all executed previous to the 18th of last month, but they were only discovered few days ago, on the arrival of one of the vessels at Sydney. Two warrants have now been issued for the arrest of Rokhouse, one of them being at the Instance of Messrs Fraser and Co., auctioneers, who have been defrauded of £600. The offender has had plenty of time to effect his escape, and his captore will be therefore a rather difficult "Lank, but the detectives seem to have already obtained a trace of his whereabouts.

THE Cooktown Courier thus describes a recent fight amongst the "Heathen Chi- ZBe" there:-

An affray took place in China-town an Monday between the rival factions of Chi- nese. The immediate occasion of the affair

is said to have been that one Chinaman abarged another with stealing sugar cane, and failing to find the stolen property in the possession of the accused, the latter charged his accuser with robbing him of two pounds, whereupon the latter struck him, when friends of either side joined in. The fight became general, and lasted for a consider- able time. Bamboos, bottles, stones, and other weapons of offence were freely used, and as fast as the combatants were put "hors-de-combat," their place was filled by supports of friends eager for the fray. Frantia efforts were mada to pull down me of the gambling housea, which continued until the arrival of the police. Several of those engaged were injured-and a few of them severely. One man was married to the Hospital, and others had to receive surgical attendance for their wounds. The man taken to the Hospital lies in a very precarious state, and Dr. Korteam does not expoot that he will recover. An assailant has been arrested.

I received a memage from the mandarin, in consequence of which I went to Yow mah-ti. My puise contained 40 cents and the bag 18 dollars in silver and a tobacco pipe.
