To the Editor of the "Dally Press."

Hong Kong Aug. 4, 1880. My Dear Mr. Editor.-I read with attention in your issue of yesterday a letter from a "Light | Sleeper complaining of nuisances by night in this City, together with your able remarks on your correspondent's missive. Strongly as you put the case, and ably as the nuisances were exposed, I sub- mit that you omitted some an- Doyances, which they who, like me, live on the sea frontage, are especially subjected to.

But it is exotic fascination and mystery. not so as one ceases, the other begins, and sleep can only be, effected through exhaustion.

Some of the pieces of art which were seen had been exhibited with great success last May in Paris, as was stated by the French news. papers and magazines of that time. But besides the number which had been exhibited in Paris at the Museum of Jeu de Paume, the exhibition of Milan included pieces of art from private Italian collec- tions, which gave us, with over a hundred of pieces, a rough idea of ancient Chinese painting and its since the T'ang development Dynasty.
