PRESS INFLUENCE" ON POLITICS. EVERY mail from England now brings news of many interesting sidelights on the political struggle now in progress. Among the more piquant incidents bearing upon the coming generel 'election is the bitter quarrel which has broken out be- tween the Morning Post and the Daily Mail, two journals which always had a fierce hatred of Socialism and now hate each other as bitterly. The trouble started when Lord RorsERMERE, owner of the Daily Mail group of news papers, charged the Conservatives, through the Morning Post, another staunch Conservative organ, with having won the last election with money accumulated by the sale of petrages, baronetcies, and knight- boods.

Ajunk left Hong Kong on the 7th Instant with 60 tons of coal for Castle Peak. So far, it has failed to arrive at its destination. The number of the junk is T.5788 and is owned by Chinese.
