He succeeded in over- hauling him, and the wretch, as soon an ho perceived this, turned upon his parsaer and stood his ground, brandishing his knife in a most threatening manner. He made a desperato cut at the Constable, who warded it off with his staff, which bears unmistake able evidence of the strength of the blow. The Constable lost no time in turning the tables upon his amailant and knocked him down. A desperate struggle ensued for the possession of the knife, in which the would-be thief got his fingers somewhat severely lacerated; the knife having been drawn across his hand.

TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGES FROM HONGKONG, To the Editor of the "CHINA MAIL.”
Hongkong, Jan, 20,
WE are in receipt of a communication from the European staff employed at the East Point Sugar Refinery, which may be said to fairly represent the feeling prevalent in the Chinese wished to appear against the man which have been sent from Hongkong late- Colony-viz., that things are again looking
serious in and around the Island. Mr A. who came to his (Orley's) assistance
Gillanders, who signs the domument in the
name of his fellows, says:
With reference to the open, bare-faced murders and robberies with impunity, from Wing Lock Street downwards, and more especially the recent wholesale liberation of Scoundrels from Hongkong Gaol by our eympathising Governor the other day-we, as a body of Europeans, from the manager downward, propose holding a meeting among ourselves to devise a method (before it is too late) for the best means of defending our lives and property, as well as the pro- perty of our employers. As an eye-witness @bout this quarter for a period of two years, I have on various occasions bean out in the evenings, and I have seldom or aver seen any European Polisanan, except ing only a Sergeant belonging to No. One Station. I also find that there are only one or two Indians between No. 2 Station and the Bridge near Jardine's Bazar from 6 p.m. to a.m. I have also been in- formed that their are two Europeaus pa- trolling on the same beat from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m.; but I have failed to see them my self, as has also every other person about here. Now, Mr Editor, would you kindly come to the front and let this be felt in the proper quarter; and send it home, in the true spirit of the public interest that you are known to exercise. In conclusion, woe betide us in the event of an attack, for all the good that the beloved Chinese "look. on" would do us.

Mr Hennessy, backed by his friend Mr Reed, was perfectly enraptured with the display of ability made at the late fire by all concerned, and thanked everybody all round. But Mr Keswick, on the other band, did not think the display of ability was anything like equal to the extent of the sad calamity. Be thought the Governor and the re-master," and the want of water, and the mismanagement, were all wrong: he saw the fire from beginning to end, when Mr Hennessy was asleep.
