THE GALE OF YESTERDAY, We made one or two mistakes in our report of the incidents in connection with the late-galo. The steam-launches which were sunk belonging to Messrs Inglis & Co. ware not souttled, but wank. The engines of Mr Kwok Acheong's launch were not materially damaged. It was the Hailong which steamed away about half-past 12 not the Albay. The latter was not in port.

This is said to have been done by one gentleman con- nested with an institution in which he might have learnt to be more discrest.
