ANTONIO SANCHES, clerk, lately employed in the Post Office, who was charged at the Police Court on the 22nd-ultimo with stealing a registered letter, and committed for trial at the Supreme Court, was brought before the Court this morn- ing. When Mr. Lister, the Postmaster General, returned from England at the end of October last" his attention was directed to the frequent loss of letters from the Post Office. Suspicion fell on young Sanches, and Mr. Lister, accompanied by Mr. da Costa, a Post office employé, and the prisoner, went to the latter's lodgings and instituted a search. In a chest of drawers were found six registered letters, all of which had been opened, fifteen ordinary letters, also opened, seventeen unopened, and six emply envelopes, which had been through the Post Office, directed to various people, seven letters without covers, oric Oriental Bank bill of exchange drawn at Yokohama, on London, some obilierated postage stamps and some clean stamps, also a number of photographs, Christmas cards, books and small albums. Prisoner was then taken to the Police Station and when searched there amongst other things were found on him the receipt for a registered letter, two opened letters, 2 papers and 41 obliterated postage stamps, 6 Russian Bank notes, a ten dollar notes, and 4 five dollar notes. Prisoner admitted the charge this morn- ing and sentence was reserved.

Fresh episodes in a career so remarkable as Chinese Gordon's have always a welcome i parti- cularly if they add to the lengthy list of desper nte adventures which have won him the reputa tion of "a charmed life." The last adventure recent events at the Cape. Some of these are known to the public; but the fact of Gordon's personal danger, as has happened so often, seems to have been suppressed or overlooked.
It is well known that Gordon accepted an in- vitation to act as Commander-in-Chief of the Cape forces, and that he has been endeavouring to bring about a peaceful understanding between the Basuto chief Masupha and the local Government. To attain this cnd he adopted a

He went himself to Masupha with a message of peace. But while, found a good many changes had taken place in actual treaty with that chief, the Government deliberately sent an armed body of men, led by Lerathodi, a loyal chief, to attack Masupha. This extravagance placed Gordon--who is the very soul of honour-in the position of one who under cover of a trice, designs to surround and entrap his enemy. It not only endangered his life, it brought his attempts to arrive a satis- factory settlement to a summary conclusion; and, as a natural consequence, he at once sent in his resignation, Had he been left to conclude the negotiations he had entered into upon his own responsibility with Masuphia, it is held by those who are in a position to judge that a resalt would have been arrived at satisfactory both to the Cape Government' and the Basutos.
That Gordon's life was spared. under the cir-my views at length on Hongkong, its' people, manners and customs, its rotten officialdoin, and cumstances does not surprise those who are acquainted with the many kindred perils out of generally unclean and unhealthy social existence. which he has come unharmed. One of these has At present I only wish to write a few lines on so curious a resemblance to this Cape affair, both as regnet of the sun and policy, and as regards the conduct of authorities with whom he was acting at the time, that it is well worth while to recall the incidents, if but to show how strangely history has repeated itself after a lapse of only twenty years, In 1863,
one knows, Gordon, with his every Ever-Victorious Army, was waging war against the Tacpings. In all his victories he had practised the doctrine of mercy towards the van- quished: among his small force, though largely composed of rebel prisoners taken in action and Shanghai rowdies, there was no looting; and, in the face of the Chinese habit of torturing the fallen, compassion was extended to the foc. At the leaguer of Soochow he had come to an under. standing with his colleague, Governor Li, who commanded the "Chinese Imperial Forces, that on the surrender of the city there should be no plundering, and that the lives of the rebel chiels should be spared. These terms had been communicated to the enemy, and, fully confiding in the good faith of his ally, Gordon entered the wards the East Gate, he met a body of Im- city alone with his interpreter.
