We retain the opinion, any, ever after careful study of Mr. CLEMENT's able translations and indulgent comments, that Cantonese lore-songs share the pecu. liarly Orient characteristics of Hebrew poetry, to which he later traces a rosen. blance with a difference; and that is such they rather support than weaken the popular impression of the Chinese method of expressing auch feelings. The distine- tion drawn by Mr. CLEMENTI is based upon the metaphors of the Hebrew poet, who (as Mr. CLEMENTI Seems to think) contented SPECIALLY SELECTED & IMPORTED himself by saying "As the fly among therus, so is my love among the daugliters," DIRECT FROM THE MOST CELEBRATED while the Chinese post "proclaims, not

before the Foil Court of a charge of common assault which was heard and determined by the Police Magistrate on the 2nd February, In the first place we are asking for a ro-hearing ou the fasts of the case, and secondly, I submit to the Court that there ought to be a re-hearing on the ground that the sentence passed on the defondants was excessive. With regard to the general question of the sentence being excessive. I think the evidence given before the Police Magistrate scarcely weighs evenly upon the defendants one to the ctlor, and I submit the general principle, like in the case when six mon set out armed to commit u robbery each of the kiz being responsible for the acts of the otherr, does not apply. This is the case of someone appearing in the presence of these people, and the Court can see the different amount of blume to each, and sentence them sceerdingly, and not have them all lamped together for six hours in the stocks and six months' hard labour.
