"The German Mail of the 22nd October was delivered in London on the 21st inst.

The Royal Engineers are to giva n. concert at the Seamen's Institute, Kow. loon, this evening.

THE CITY COF, PARIS, the total value of the shipping in its possession is only 24 mil. lion yen. In other words, it may be enid that the Government has paid a commission of 76 million yen in order to acquire ships worth 24 millions. If the Government had directly invested a similar amount of money in ships it would have acquired four or five times the tommage. Moreover, whed ships of the N.Y.K. were requisitioned during off everything the war the Government had to pay

high rate of charterage beyond the sub-a sidy to be given in time of peace. Thus, the country was compelled to pay a double charge in chartoring ships from a sudsidised company."
