HONGKONG, SEPTEMBER 13TH, 1877.

H.M.S. Curlew, Captain Church, which arrived here on Tuesday evening, left here on the 17th July last for the Sulu Islands to observe the execution of the protocol recently concluded between Great Britain, Germany, and Spain. It was found that the treaty was being duly observed, and the British vessels were able to trade freely between the Sultan's ports and the Spanish port of Sulu. We understand that the Curlew went round to the south side of the island of Sulu to communicate with the British vessels there, and while there Captain Church communicated with the Sultan. The British steamers Pontiac and Far East were there and found no obstacle in the way of trade on either side of the island. There was no fighting going on, and trade was unrestricted. The Curlew on her return called at Labuan and Manila.
