healthy. The currents along our coasts, and | our rivers, are less strong than in China, less than in certain portions of the Japan Inland Sea, less than in the strait separating Yesso from Nipon, less than in the Kusisiwo, which washes the southern and eastern portions of the Japanese Archipelago. Where then are the dangers of Korean navigation? (Laughter). The high rise and fall of the tide in this port has been alluded to in the reports referred to, made by an un- scamanlike official reporter.
I spurred my weary home towards the lagoon, hoping almost against hope to hear good news there of the lost one. The moon, now nearly at her full, shone calmly out, her pale beams lying caressingly on the landscape as if attempting to alleviate the effects of the parching heat of the terrible rays of the December sun.

Therelsaboutas much rise and fall in Liverpool as here, and a great deal more in Bristol, much nore in many prosperous ports in Great Britain, France and America; and it is about time that the mind of the public should be disabused of the influence of such injudicious reports and non-thirst began to make itself felt: sense (great applause) the more so, as very un-! justly those non-technical reports appear to have Influenced, unjustly, the rate of insurance on shipping trading to Korea (Hiases), We have now the satisfactin of seeing already in this port every month about three steamers from Japan, at least one from China, six or seven Japanese sailing versels of foreign type from Japan, some japanese junks, and generally also one or more similar specimens of antedeluvian naval architecture from China. (Hear, hear.). This is not bad for a new port, opened only some few months ago (Applause) Gentlemen, I am in a position to give you a long list of imports and exports of this new-port-but-since you know them, no doubt, as well as myself, it would be wrong on my part to now bore you with statistics; I only made this remark as a proof that, if the trade of this pore increases as it has done thus far, then Jenchuan will be one of the leading ports of the so-called "Far East" before many years have passed over the land. (Cheers) Therapidly rising prosperity ofthis promising port, I consider is, in no small measure, due to the wise action of the only Consular officer of high rank at present amongst us, conjointly with the liberal action of the Korean Government and local native officials, and, in no small degree to the foreign Commissioner of the Royal Maritime Customs (Hear, hear and prolonged applause) I have now the honour, gentlemen, not only to propose to you to drink to the prosperity of this
rapidly rising port, with the toy of which for ever will be connected prominently the name of our host, as an early and successful pioneer(cheers), but also to the long health and happiness of Con- sul Kobayashi. (Renewed cheers.) May he he spared to reach the highest degrees of his career, which is a long and honourable one, as he deserves. The health of the Consul was then drunk with great enthusiasm, with three ringing deafening cheers; and the throng about gentleman thus honoured was very great, everybody present being eager to abake hands Whim. The next toast was received with equally great enthusiasm, and was coupled with the name of the intelligent foreign adviser of the Korean Government, His. Excellency Paul von Möllendorff, Vice-President of the Korean, Foreign Office.

During the pleasant soird, after the more formal official state dinner, animated song in all the languages of the East and West could be listened to, comme il faut, and the Consul, very ably assisted by his amiable Secretary, was indefatigable in, attending personally to the numerous foreign and native guests, including, of course, the leading Japanese residents _Mercury.
"BUSHED!"
(Sydney Bulletin.) Reader, have you ever been "bushed" I mean, of course, "bushed" in the fullest sense. of the word. Not merely "alewed for an hour or so, but hopelessly, inextricably lost in the unsainted wilderness of an Australian de sert? If you never happened to have had such an experience, pray heartily, whilst you read this grim remembrance of other days, that you never may be so situated,
After riding about for a little, I took the saddic off Stockings, and lay down for a while to think it over, Bat the more I thought, the more bothered I became; and, at length, hungry, thirsty, and weary as I was, fell off to sleep..
I woke up suddenly, with a scared kind of feeling, to find the hot sun shining full op my upturned face,

Jumping up, I soon discovered that Stockings had left during the night, and hearilly cursed my stupidity for not hobbling him with the stirrup leathers before I fell asleep so suddenly. But, after looking around a little. I could scarcely blame the old horse for absconding, although it might mean death to his master-for as far as the eye could reach grew not a blade of grass, only a kind of straggling, thorny, weed, that

It was a blue look out, and I felt it to be so Climbing with difficulty to the summit of one of
the highest tors, composed of a brownish, brittle kind of sandstone, I gazed on a scene of barren desolation. Veritably I stood on "a great rock in a weary land," and the weariness stretched apparently without end, and on every hand.
At length, far away to the N.E., I thought I for these I determined to make. So, descending, could faintly discern a few straggling trees, and I commenced my weary tramp, sinking up to the instep in some places in coarse sand that with every puff of hot suffocating wind flew up clouds, adding to the torments I already en- dured from thirat and hunger, whilst the pitiless scorching sun seemed to eat with its withering heat into my very brain.
