A LARGE INDOTY. The largest affair which has occurred since the oseupation of a town near Sheklung, is that of Shintang, about a month ago. A large band of brigands held this town, which is in the extremo South-West of the province, for a whole day. While half of them held off the forces of the law--an easy enough task-the remainder leisurely went through every house, and secured booty to the value of hundreds of thousands of dollars. When such an act can go unpunisheit,

British shipowners are hesly coming forward in order to get their fleets covered against the risks of damage by irresponsible Russian war- ships Where there are strict warranties of no

For example, two British fleets, one trading to Australia and the other to South Africa, have been covered against war risks for 12 months at merely nominal rates. The terms are indeed more favourable to owners than many underwriters consider prudent, and it is obvious that ship owners will be very foolish to run large indeterminate risks on their steamers when they can get them insured for less than 10s. per cent. for a year.
