Li AUN, a carpenter, was up this morning before both magistrates, charged with stealing $19 in- silver from the person of a farmer named Fong Sek Tuk, on the 29th ult. The evidence was as appropriator of the farmer's. Mexicans, but clear as day that the carpenter was the veritable having stated in his defence that it was impossible he could run-as it was alleged heMr. Hardinge's ap.

OF GERMANY AT MADRID. The Emperor of Germany has telegraphed to the King of Spain thanking him for his cordial INSPECTOR QUINCEY and Sergeant Butlin raided reception of the Imperial Prince of Germany at a Taze Fa lottery gambling agency yesterday Madrid, and assuring him of his lifelong friend-afternoon in Kat Sing Lane, and arrested the ship.

man who was conducting, the swindle, one Li Ano, a mat-packer, who was brought before Captain Thomsett at the Police Court this morning, and fined $200 or six months' hard labor. The coin not being forthcoming, Li was assigned free board and lodgings in the "Retreat" until the 1st June, 1884 Quincey stated that he had been watching the house up wards of a month, proving that he possesses the gifts of patience and perseverance in no ordinaty degree. The gambling paraphernalia and money found in the house were ordered to be forfeited to the Crown,

H.B.M.'s gunboat Cockchafer was at Chefoo on the 22nd instant.

OWING to pressure on our space we have been compelled to hold over our editorial on the recent

casc until Monday.

We hear that a reinforcing of the United States Navy in Chinese waters is contemplated, and that the work in the U. S. Navy.yards on the vessels under repair is being rapidly pushed forward.

WILLIAM WALLACE, of Jamaica, an unemploy ed steward, was this morning fined a dollar or 4 days' hard labor, and ordered to pay $5 compen sation to the complainant, or undergo a further 14 days, for assaulting a Chinese prostitute in a brothel yesterday evening. The man with the historic cognomen was assigned quarters in the Government hotel, as a temporary measure.

WE beg to draw the attention of our readers to the performance of "Our Boys" to be given at the Theatre Royal, City Hall, this evening, by the Loftus Troupe. Byron's comedy was a great auccess in London, and was played nightly for over five years at the Vaudeville Theatre in the Strand. The play abounds in amusing situa tions and sparkling dialogue, and as the Loftus Troupe will do it every justice, we expect to enjoy a rare treat and see a large audience

assemble.

Ay ex lukong named Chung Wan Loi, convicted this morning before Mr. Wodehouse of being one of a crowd that assaulted Chinese water- police constable 444 with iron bars and pales on the 26th ult. In Square Street, in consequence of his proceeding to arrest them for gambling. in the street, was fined $15, or three wooks' hard labor, and ordered to find two sureties of $25 each to be of good behavour for six weeks; in default, to be committed for an additional three weeks. The ex peace-preserver went in for a

month and a half.

THE following rumour, evidently unfounded, is published in the Shanghai Mercury of the 27th inst-It was reported in the Settlement this aftemoon that the French had captured Bacninh with heavy loss. It was a general ru mour and was much talked about, but we failed to tree the news to reliable source. Bachina is the place mentioned in a telegram from l don dated the zand Kovember, an Thong was said to have declared the pon it by the French would be casus belli.

The

SAYS the Shanghai Mercury of the 17th inst.:--- The troops brought by the steamer Klangyu from Wuhu were on Sunday aftemoon trans. ferred with their arms, &c., to the steamship Hwaiyuen as passengers, no notice whatever being taken of the transbipment of arms. ateaners Leeyuen, Yehain and Fushun are to take about 4,00 men and arms for the south. All rifles at the Arsenal are to be packed, ready for shipment south. We also hear that a num ber of Germans are engaged to proceed with the Chinese army of occupation on the frontier.

,י

THE old lessees of the Hongkong Hotel vacated the premises last night at midnight, and the new manager and staff took charge. The dif ficulties surrounding such a change are not ap parent to the ordinary mortal, and it says much for the ability of those in charge that the trans!- tion was made without causing the slightest inconvenience to the resident boarders, and that breakfast was ready to be served at the usual hour this morning. One of the most experienced San Francisco hotel keepers has assumed the reins of govemment, and there can be little doubt that, after the alter. ations to the building are completed, he will soon put things in first-class order. When the repairs and alterations are completed, we hope to be able to inspect the building and give the public the benefit of our survey. A really first-class hotel is a desideratum in Hongkong, and we do not see why such an institution, properly worked, should not pay handsome dividends on the capital invested.
