"A meeting of persons interested in the Land Question will take place in the City Hall, to-day, the toth instant at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of discussing the Reasons which have led to the withdrawal of Native Capital from the Colony, and proposing Resolutions which may have the effect of ameliorating the present un- fortunate state of affairs.

Papper, one of his ap prentices. The principal witness was W, Dench, the third hand on board, who spoke to the prisoner having systematically ill-used the deceased, to his having been kept short of food, and to his being thrown overboard when ill by Brand's orders. The trial was adjourned until the following day. The prisoner left the dock amid the groans and kisses of a crowded court.

AN English rector relates the following amusing incident :-"There is a certain cobbler in the village, who, although a wrathy fellow, entertains unorthodox opinions, and with whom the clerk 1s, therefore, always at variance; and the latter gives me this curious account of his failing to obtain, from the son of Crispin, our Easter ducs: ---*} au come, for your Easter offering, Mr. Last,' observed ecclesiastical official, looking over the half-door behind which the little cobbler sits busily at work. And what is an Easter offering, and why should I give it?' inquired the sceptic Will, never you mind about that; only give it, that's all! Won't you stop and have a hit of bacon with me, Mr. Clerk, for 1 am just po- ing to have my dinner?' 'No, thank yer; I want yer Easter offering." Well, then, take a drap of summat warm; I've got some ale yonder upon the hab. The clerk could not help looking wistful, but he replied stoutly, as before, that he only wanted the Faster offering. At least, you'll take a pipe ?' insisted the cobbler; here is tobacco and a box of lucifers.'. The clerk ab solutely, shook his head. Very well,' observed the cabler, with a chuckle. I've tried ye with a meal-offering, with a drink offering, and with a burnt-offering, and now ye will have no other sort of olfering from me, I promise ye. And he kept his work"

-Stage Manager, Bandmann Combination.,

Hongkong, 10th June, 1882. [We gladly find room for Mr. D'Orsay Ogden's letter in reply to the communication signed "An Old Stager" which appeared in our issue of the 7th inst. Although not called upon for an opinion as to the merits of the different views expressed by our correspondents with reference to the representation of Hamlet, we must frankly own that our sympathies are with Mr. Ogden and his colleagues. Our columns are open to correspondents on all public ques tions, within fair and reasonable limits, and as Old Stager had a perfect right to express his opinion of the performance of flamlet, we could see no season to exclude his letter however much we differed with its unnecessarily severe tone and ungenerous sentiments, Had the public and ourselves been made aware of the fact that Mr. Bantuanu's supporters were,

At this stage the whole of the influential Euro- peans-the real capitalists-with the exception of Messrs, G. & E, Sharp, and Thomas Ide Bowler, abruptly quitted the hall, leaving the Chinese, the members of the press, and a few European idlers to settle the business.
