states that, in consequence of the depressed condition of the shipping trade in India, the British India Steam Navigation Co. has conveyed an intimation to moms forty or fifty of its officers, now on leave in England, that it will be unable for the present to find them re-employment, and has suggested that it may be desirable for them to seek engagement elsewhere.

China and Cores are quite open to bribery, but WINE & SPIRIT MERCHANTS Japan and England are both of them inconveniently inquisitive, so that the opportunities are becoming rarer and rarer.

Ir is becoming perfectly clear that the hope expressed by the leading English papers that the Government will not per- mit itself to be quietly ousted from its position in southern Perait, as it practically has been in northern China, was not uttered a day too soon. The ways of Russia are perfectly well known; like all Powers that have essayed the part of mere conquerors without the preliminaries of civilising the subject peoples, she has found that the further she advances, the greater is the need for strengthoning her already over- extended frontiers. It was precisely this discovery of the danger of an active enemy on her western frontier that, impelled the first DARIUS, probably against his will, to undertake the conquest of Greece.
