"That yer wasn't quite sober." We note from kame advices that H.M.S. Satel life will shortly be ready for sea. She was launched in August last, and ought to have been ready by the 1st of April, but her completion has been delayed through some important alterations and improvement in her machinery departments, and especially in the ventilation arrangements, The decision tó equip this vessel with the newly patented Armstrong guns has also involved con- siderable extra labor, owing to the differetice in their size as compared with those formerly in
INTELLIGENCE WAs received in the Colony late last night, from Chinese sources, that the steam
· skip Oceau had gone ashore outside the port of Haihow. We understand that lighters were im- mediately sent for, and it is expected that after lightening the vessel, there will be comparatively liyle difficulty in getting her off the mud. THE losses to shipowners, and shipping interests generally, caused by the quarantine regulations, are so serious that we may be excused for re- minding the officials at the various ports infected, that it is a duty they owe to the public to advise head-quarters, if such a teras may be correctly applied to Hongkong, without an hour's delay,

It is said that much comment has been excited in naval circles by the bestowal of a good-service- pension on Captain Chatfield, whose seniority is only of April, 1868.—Many distinguished officers, " we are equally deserving of consideration, have been passed over. Who has the distribution of honors at the Admiralty? Lord Northbrooke, or his private secretary?

The following theatrical anecdotes are highly amusing. They likewise prove that the great Daniel was not the "lonely possessor" of tragic power:-Ah actor, representing soine Eastern potentate, had to make an imposing entrance on the back of an elephant, who, disgusted with the whole proceeding, and particularly with the glare of the footlights, sent the unfortunate, actor head over heels in a most unkingly somersault. The representative of Oriental power was, however, equal to the situation; recovering himself before the audience had time to laugh he indicated the phumal with his sceptre, and loftily exclaimed:- Away with him! Load him with chains and apply the knout. He shall feel a monarch's ven: geance!" (Thunders of applause.] Still another, apropos de riene-—A supernumerary has to rush in and cry out to a dethroned King:"My liege, fly Fly for your life! The enemy is at our gates!"

The monarch arose and, with imperial grandeur, thus took in the situation: "Pursue him instantly, but-spare his life!".
H.E. SIR THOMAS and Lady Wade departed for Europe to-day, by the French mail steamer- Djemnak. Sir Thomas and Lady Wade em barked from Murray Wharf in the Government steam launch. A guard of honor lined both sides of the road from Queen's Road to the pier, The guard of honor was supplied by the "Buffs" and included the band and regimental colors, under the command of Captain Davis. A salute. of 15 guns was fired, from the Saluting battery by the Royal Artillery, which, on being completed, was taken up by the Victor Emanuel, and another salute fired from her. Amongst those present to do honor to the departure of the distinguished diplomatist, we noticed, H.E. the "Administrator, the Colanini Secretary, the Colonial Treasurer, the Chief Justice, the At torney General, Major General Sargent, Colonel Hobson, Major Hamilton, Major Cardew, Cop tain Bury, Lieutenant Allen, the Hon P. Rc the Hon. F. B. Johnson, and a fairly large number of the most influential of oursidents. Sir Thomas Wade is a gentlem who deserves
his due reward on his retum to England.

THE sea serpent must look to his laurels. The crew of a Shetland fishing boat unite in declaring that they were attacked a few weeks ago by a monster, in comparison with which the terror of the American waters is as insignificant as a shrimp. They declare, they were hauling their lincs twenty-eight miles east-southeast of Fetlar, when they saw at a short, distance from them something that had the appearance of three small hillocks, each about the size of a six-oared boat upset, which blew when coming to the surface, II disappeared in the direction of the bout, and shortly after they saw the monster pass under- neath the boat. When it came up again it started right in their direction with its mouth, wide open a mouth, they say, that to all appearances could have taken in their boat. There seemed to be whiskers of a green colour, and about seven or eight feet long, hanging from its mouth, very large green eyes, and on its head were great lumps about the size of a herring barrel. They throw stones at it, but it still came on toward them, and only again disappeared below water when a few yards from the boat, on a charge of swan shot being discharged out of a fowling. piece into its mouth. The lines were then cut and all sail made for home, when the monster again ap- peared in their wake. This time they observed that it had two large fins, almost the size of the boat's mainsail, which were stretched up from its back; and its length they computed to be no less than 150 feet. It followed them up for a dis- tance of nine miles, and then disappeared.
-I think Laught to take some public notice of the paragraph, in 'the_Pall Mall Gazette re- specting Government policy in longkong, which my name was mentioned therein. was reproduced in your issue of the 1st inst., as
That I have made the assertion to the effect that any reversal of Governor Hennessy's Chinese policy, or any retrogrado-step-would inevitably be followed by the distrust of the Chinese of the Colony and the withdrawal of their capital, I do. not for a moment deny, for I adhere still to the opinion; but in justice to His Excellency the Ad- ministrator, I feel bound to say that up to the present moment, so far as can judge, his public acts have not been antagonistic to the interests of the Chinese Community, Mr. Marsh's return to the Colony to assume to reins of the Govern ment is so recent, that no blame should be at- tached to him for the commercial panic and the consequent meeting of the roth june convened at the City Hall. He had no more in do with the causes which led to the recent calamity than Governor Hennessy had; and in my opinion, which is shared by every one of my Chinese friends to whom I have spoken on the subject, if neither Mr. Marsh nor Sir John l'ope Hennessy the disastrous events would have happened even had ever administered the Government of this Colony.
Yours obediently,
NG CHOY.

We also say that not the least evil bequeathed to his successor is the infamous state of the Bankruptcy and Partnership Registration butable to Governor Hennessy's neglects, con- laws-a shameful state of things directly attri ceits, and unwisdom. To speak of his "strong hand" as the Pall Mall does, is bitter irony. His strong hand, forsooth! Why, the man had tion! Meddle he could, muddle he would, and a positive incapacity for any sort of administra- his pestilent tongue was always busy at mischief- making. But administer, he never did, because he could not. Since Hongkong was a Colony,THE Undersigned has all kinds of House and never has been such a bequest made by an out- going to an incoming Governor as the three or four years' arrears left by Governor Hennessy. in fact, nothing was done by him except

By shortening the distance to India from seven to ten days it will speedily assume in foreign eyes the political significance always paid to England's route to the East.
