A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.

Phenomenal trade losses in the China market, parti- cularly in British piece goods, are indicated in the monthly trade report of the Statistical Branch of the Hong Kong Imports and Exports Department. The losses would appear to be due to competition from Japan, and the figures, which are given in full in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, make illuminaling reading.

Dramatic evidence was given in her own defence by Mrs. Jesuina Maria Xavier, charged at the Assizes with wounding Mr. A. J. Manton, with intent to murder, on December 27 last. Mrs. Xavier's plea that the shooting was accidental, and that she actually intended to take her own life, was accepted by the jury, and she was accordingly discharged. The case is fully reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Several more ships were reported aground during the week, but in general they were got off without any serious damage. The cases are dealt with in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
