SHANGHAI AUTUMN BAOES.

(FROM OUR SPROLAL VORRESPONDENT.) [BY RELEGRAPH.)

SECOND DAY.

We have had another brilliant day's racing, with fairly large fields, and most of the finishes close and exciting. Proceedings began as usual with the half mile Northern Cup, in which Mr. Kelly's brown griffin Shamrock showed what a tremendous turn of spood ho possesses by carrying his 10 lbs. penalty home after a pretty struggle. There was a good deal of excitement over the St. Loger, as it has been bo- lieved all along that First Cornet coald not get the distance, and the race was a mero exercise canter for Wild Dash; however, the winner of the Criterion made very light of his 10 lbs. extra, and won cleverly at the finish. In the Autumn Cap over six farlongs n splendid finish ended in a dead heat between old Black Satin and Merry Monk. Prejudice repeated bis Spring victory in the Shanghai Stakes, and it will be a near thing between this old favorite and the St. Leger winner in the Champions, The gay deceiver Red Hart for once took it into his head to show a taste of bis private form in public, and beat a fairly good field in

THE "BOLTON ABBEY."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,"

SI--Referring to the lender of your issue of the 1st instant, re Bolton Abbey, I beg to request the favour of inserting the following

Owing to the facts stated above, I am 'constrained to leave this for the Colonies, in order to sook, for employment, by the charitable efforts of my brother Masons, to whom I hereby bog to tonder my heart: felt thanks. Without their help. I am almost sure that I shall wait here until it is the plenauro of the worthy Harbour Master to send me home, and as there are many of my profession literally starving for want of employment, I shall be compelled to be. in the same position for months to come, not reckoning the time lost in waiting in Hongkong for an opportunity and the days lost on the way."

Bofore concluding this I beg leave to muntion a fow words about the Prata Shoal. Soeing the manner that the Ohi noso fisherman in the Pratas Shoal La- goou liave been treated. I realy do pity any other crow that may have the mis- fortune to be wrecked in that locality, as 1 am under the conviction that they (the) fishormon) will hardly care to rendor any assistance to shipwrecked crews. Thank- ing you for the insertion of the above.-I remain, &c.,

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, ONE P.M.

Docks were very much firmer yesterday than has been the case for some time past, and although it would perhaps be premature to say that the stock has outlived the detor mined opposition it has met with in the Share Market during the past couple of months, we have good grounds for believing that affairs are likely to take a more favour- able turn, and that before long. One or two vory small lots changed hande at 29 per cent, premium, but few shares could be procured at that rate, and.although we have to record enles, at 30, the stock is vary firm, with buyers at that rate. Banks remain nomin. ally at 112, nothing having been done since we last wrote. Steamboats are rather. weaker to-day, offers to sell at 24 per share premium meeting with no response. There aro still buyers however at 23. No further movement has been made in Sugars, the subjoined quotation, 160 per share, sellers, fairly representing the present position of this popular local medium for investment. Hotels are quoted at 101, but this is moroly a nominal quotation, to which too much value must not be attributed. Hongkong Fires are still on the downward line, sellers offering to deal at 900, a reduction of 30 on. the previous rate. We have heard no reasons advanced in explanation of this somewhat rapid depreciation. A very large amount of business has lately been transacted in the Chinese Imperial Government Loan of 1881, and a fall of 14 per cent in these bonds within a few days is significant. From 31 per cent. premium bonds were sold at 3, 21, 21, and one very large sale at 2 per cent. came under our observation this morning.

On my arrival here I was sent to tho. Sailors' Home by the Harbour Master, and I am there still up to this duto. Aftor' the Court of Enquiry held on the loss of the vessel, I applied to Captain Thomsoft, as Harbor Master of this Colony, to sond me down to Melbourne, as I did not wish to atay in Hongkong or go boms, because I held and still hold several recommenda- tions from Captain Williams, late of the Bolton Abbey, to the ship's agents, Messrs. Henty & Co., Melbourne (from whom I expected to get employment), when that gentleman replied that he would take the matter into consideration, but when I again this morning subraitted my applici- tion to the above effect as a destituto soL- man in hope of obtaining employment, he replied in the following words: "I will send you home, but not to the Colonies as you have no claim." In laying the above fact before your readers, I would take the sume Captain Thomsett would have 'sent me to the Colonies as he did the mon be- longing to the late British bark Wellington, and as be promised to several of my ship- mates, who,el believe, are to take their. passages in the British stonmer Menmuir,, but for the fact that my name appeared' rather conspicuously in your issue above referred to. I would add that I received very rough treatment from Capt. Thomaett, this morning, which made me come to the above conclusion. I really do not see the reason which prompted the Harbor Master to say, "I will send you home, but not to the Colonies as you have no claim." Have my shipmates any claim? Are they not in the same predicament P. What tends to build a "four"

motive ann it be, that induced Captain count. It is pretty well known that Thomsett to order Mr. Stabb, 2nd officer the crew in the Victoria would be at a of the late Geraldine Paget to be sent down disadvantage when compared with to the Colonies on Saturday, the 5th inst., the other fours," but it is a question by the Ocean?
