IT is understood that the minor state of slege at St. Petersburg and in four other towns of Russia will be prolonged another year.

:

IT is shown by statistics recently issued that last year there were 17,351 known thieves at large in England, of whom 1,260 were in the city of London.

SOME idea of the opulent classes in England may be gathered from the fact that the country derived last year $2,760,000 from the duty on caringes.

The annual meeting of the subscribers to the Race Fund was held at the Hongkong Club this

LITERARY criticism in these advanced days is nothing if not direct and incisive.

The only extraordinary part of this extremely unpleasant and unprofitable story is that we are never supposed, even during the course of her fraud, to withdraw our sympa thics from the heroine."
