TO ADVERTISERS.

A CONVOCATION of Emergency of United Royal Arch Chapter No. 1,341, will be held in Freema son's Hall, Zetland Street, on the evening of Thursday, the 21st instant, at go'clock, precisely. WE would remind our readers of the dramatic performance to be given at the Theatre Royal, City Hall, this evening, for the benefit of the "Telegraph Fund" in connection with the recent bel casc. The programme, which includes Selby's favorite musical interlude "The Bonnie Fish Wife," and Charles Dance's famous come- dietta," Delicate Ground," is a very attractive one, and should provide a capital evening's amusemerit.

THE cases at the Police Court this morning were mostly of the usual sort, vit; selling dried fish, ducks, and other choice comestibles outside the markets, with a little variation in the throwing rub. bish line, and a few petty larcenies. Ng Chin Sing, a house boy in the employ of Mr. W. L. Gordon, was treated to six weeks' hard labor for appro- priating the sum of $6.10 the property of his master, and being concerned in the disappearance of another $63, which has not been very clearly traced, the boy and some others, not in custody, being supposed to be the sleight of hand gentry who spirited away the Mexicans.

WE (Shanghai Courier) notice that according to the report of Mr. J. Lloyd E. Palmi, Acting Commissioner of Customs, on the trade of Wuhu for 1881, that, during the year, coal from the Ch'ih-chow-fu coal-mines only attained to 1,580 fons, being 570 tons more than were exported during the previous year. Hitherto the mines do not appear to have been a success: and the poor quality of the coal, the want of proper plant for working, and the difficulty of transport (at certain seasons of the year) from the pits to the export vessels at the mouth of the creek at Lieup'ochi, make it doubtful whether this trade will ever be a large one. A few specimens of lead and copper ore have been discovered in the mines, but it is not thought that these metals abound in sufficient quantities to justify the expense of working, No great musical composer, says the New York
