It is rather a pity that our contemporary's correspondent slid not explain by what ex- traordinary fores of circumstances the capture of the citadel of Hanoi was to be made by merchant steamers flying the British.

They arrived in the same order as I reported you in my last letter, drew up in a line in front of the con. ression, and anchored. The troops were landed at once and quartered in the har racks and other places where accommoda- tion rould be found or improvised. The baggage was landed next morning. There the troops remain now, and nobody knows

what further will be done.

On Sunday morning the Governor of Hanoi (Annamite) paid a visit, to the new Commandant in the concession, probably with a view to find out what the French [7are about, but apparently without any re-

The complainant said that while geting, table on deck, the defendant get hold of laim by the neet, shook hir, and called him names, and that on another occasion he shoved him and seized him by the same very important part of his upper man. The mate admitted having shoved the complainant occasionally, but said he did so in order to get him to his work. The defendant was discharged with a caution.

The third elected to make it at the Police Court, and said that when arrested on a family visit; that he was taken to the Central Police station charge roomy and was standing there close to a window, where a man and the sampan woman took stock of him for some time, and that consequently it was no wonder the latter identified him immediately in gaol.
