The policy of the Mitsu Bishi Company, Instead of facilitating the trade of the country, has had a directly opposite result, and has contrived to choke and almost destroy it.

It is as well that the Japanese should bear in mind that, in adopting Foreign veeels or foreign models and systems naturally it is to be expected that foreignern should know how to handle there better than Japaness who have had no experience, and that seamanship and presence of mind amidst the difficulties and dangers that surround a sailor's life cannot be learnt in

Not satisfied with crying down the Mitsu Bishi Company, Mr Iwasaki must needa attempt to throw discredit on the National Lean, by immediately afterwards offering to subscribe 500,000 pan.

It would seem by this action, that, whatever misfortunes have overtaken the Mitsu Biahl Company, these at all sreuts have contributed to the enhancement of Mr. Iwasaki'e private fortune, to such a degrés as to enable him to contribute a large amount to the National Loan, otherwise 18 can only be looked upon as a farce, or also that the published statement was without. foundation.

On the Court resuming at 2 o'clock Mr Francis addrossed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner. He said that in all cases of this description the Jury had to consider first who cansed the death of the den ased and whether the offence was murder or manslaughter. In the present, he said, there was no question of the deceased's death being the act of the prisoner. The prisoner had admitted the feat at the Police Court, but having admitted this, it did not follow that he had been guilty of murder.
