Saysour contemporary:-"Oneamongst many of the explanatory Notes appended to the various items may be given as an illustration. Concerning a proposed in crease of salaries for assistant-turnkeys in Gaol, for which petklons had been pre- sented, the Administrator asks, "What is meant by the statement that these men are not on the same footing as Chinese turn- keys?". To which is given the following reply, signed by "GRO, HAYWARD, Acting Superintendent Victoria Guol:""When Sir J. POPE HENNESSY appointed the four Chinese Turnkeys to the Gaol Staffin 1877, their salaries were fixed at $36 per mensem. although at the time of their appointment, several Assistant Turnkeys had served or 6 years and were only drawing salaries of $25 and $30 per mensem: consequently these latter have felt aggrieved and ill- used ever since. From which it would ap pear that Chinese turnkey's have been for five years nerving a larger salary than Europeans DRUGGISTS who had been, in 1877, five or six years in the service. The Europeans haud certainly reason- able grand for feeling aggrieved. But what we purpose chiefly to note is this, that under [431 previous administrations this bit of information

The Namioa attempted to get close to the Hongkong but failed, owing to the high sea which was unning.

I under stand that a Chinese gunboat will leave to-mor raw for the scene of the disaster; but I am afraid she will not be able to do much towards prevent-

You have, of course, heard how the Mandarins, fearing a general disturbance, used all their influence, to prevent Chiarini's Circus from visiting Foochow. They wrote officially to all the foreign consuls, stating that they would not be held responsible for anything which might happen in the event of the Circus coming, as they were quite helpless to control the mob. It was also reported that they offered to pay Chiarini's
