The absurdity of 300 seasoning is clearly apparent, because only the builders Tem selves possess the right to change their plans and therefore the whole and sole responsibility is with the Dack Company. The Company. of course, would have been only exercising's Joper care of its own interests in refusing to carry out suggestions (supposing such had been inale), which it was their business to know would seriously affect the seaworthy qualities of the boat Hut above all, "Veritas" is quite inaccurate in stating that there were plans approved by both parties in connection with the Contract. There were no approved plans, but merely a rough speclication fixing the dimen sians of the boat, and limited to the hull.
It is also necessary to mention that the alterations and additions to which "Veritas" refers have not in the slightest degree influenced the position of the centres of gravity of the hull, niachinery, bailers, etc.; in fact, they only referred to insignificant details whose influence upon the centre of gravity of the vessel may be conartered wit.

On the other hand, when the ballast was put in the centre of gravity was decreased more than om. zo, doubling almost the meta- rehuic height without obtaining any cquira
Therefore, seeing that the height of the meta-centre above the centre of gravity can be increased by raising the later whose position depends entirely upon the lower works of a ship's bottom), it occurs to me to ask The Lock Company why they did not build he in this form, as they were quite ar liberty to make their own plans without other limits than the stipulated for in the contract as to the principal dimensions of the boat.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT)
CANTON, April 9th.
It is said that Mr. Chaloner Alabaster British Consul at this part, has had the offer of ging to Corea as Minister Resident. It was understood that Mr. Ernest Salow, our Minister Resident in Bangkok, coveted this post, and that he had recently returned to England to interest himself. having this object in view; but possibly the prospect of a vacancy at Tokio, where Mr. Satow would command, the unanimous support of the Japanese Government as well as that of the British community, may have influenced him in not pushing his claims. Another fact indicated by Mr. Ainbaster's appointment is that Corta is to be regarded in future frons a Chinese rather than from a Japanese point of view.
The Chinese Commissioners, U-sing and General Wong, lately returned from their mission south, having visited. Cochin-China and Tongking, but I understand they had to forego their contemplated visit to Borneo on account of the illness of General Wong, who, I regret to hear, has been struck down by paralysis and is lying at Shanghai in a very precarious condition.

THE PEERS AND THE SWEATING SYSTEM.
There are to-day thousands of sweatera, victims in London whose shocking condition is the best possible commentary on our boasted system of competitive production which it is possible to put in evidence. This is a truth which the crassest Tory does not profess to deny Nor did Lord Dunraven fail to endeavour to make little party capital out of it.. But the subject is too serious for partisanship.
John Bright, it is true, as hinted, and the Manchester school very generally, erred, and erred grievously, in the matter of factory, work shop, and mine inspection. They were misled by a false and pernicious theory that Free Trade in the bones, blood, and sinews of men, women, and even little children is as legitimate, nay, commendable, as traffic in any inanimate com- abdity. The experience of mankind, however, has been against them, and it is of little use further to slay the slain.
What we have got to consider now is what remely is to be found for a state of things which limits the working life of an adult inate to anime len or twelve years, and compels nur toil-room sisters to prefer a life of infamy on the streets to one of unendurable misery in unsexing the sweater's dens.

YAU MI HO, No 42 of 1878. with the approbation of the ACTING CHIEF Justice by Mr. L M. AEMSTRONG the person appointed by the said Court upon the respective Premises na the days hereinafter mentioned,
Lord Dunraven deprecated individualism and communism alike, and, in the plenitude of bis. hereditary legislative wisdom, undertook to find a safe middle path between these two ideals of Society. For our own part, we have no hesita- tion in pronouncing absolutely in favour of whint his lordship stigmatizes as "Communism." He evidently is unable to distinguish between Socialism and Communism; but if he pursues | his economic studies much further, he will
perhaps be able to apprehend the difference.
There are at present innny Socialists in this country, but 'very few Cominunists. Indeed, Saul among the prophets can have been no it is not too much to say that Socialism is at stranger spectacle than the Peers on the this moment threatening to leaven the whole sumptuous couches of the gilded chamber lump of Radicalism, and to become the creed of discussing the hardships of the East end.

Ja of value. With regard to the mean altitude, commented upon by "Veritas," of the meta cene heights that are laid down in the Marine Arciniectural work of Mr. White, it must certainly be erroneous, because it is not to be believed that- the said centre can be less than the smallēšt of many meta-centric heights cited by the same author, who in speaking of the most convenient height for such type of vessels says: They should be from 18 to 24 inches the lower limits being suitable for tugs and craft that only have to navigate rivers and
-coasts."
There also appears from "Veritas" a long account of various meta-centric heights, and yet, alter taking an amount of trouble worthy of better cause, he does not succeed in naming one single vessel of equal or less meta-centric height than the Filipinas, notwithstanding that he includes boats of a type entirely distinct from
her.
"Veritas" would also appear to wish us to believe that the meta-centric height being 181 inches with the coal bunkers empty, the same would be increased if they were full; but unless ny memory fails me the result obtained by the last experiment made by the Commissioners gave in the latter case 0.449, or about 172 inches only.
With regard to the allusions of
Veritas
to the employment now-a-days of small meta- entic heights, and in support of which he cites such well-known and competent authorities as Sir J. Reed and Mr. Froude, it must be carefully noticed that these very same authorities expressly point out and dwell upon the very great prudence and care these small meta. cenuic heights necessitate. The last lines of from the the paragraph quoted by "Veritas work of Sir E. J. Reed are as follows:-
"The height in question must be made as small as possible within the limits of good stability."
Lastly, the principal objection to the curve line of stability is its small area, which being proportional to the necessary leverage that the ship may Tuain a position of unstable equilibrium, there is no reason whatever why the angle of escillation should be great when the heeling over can otherwise be easily overcome.
A small meta-centric height and an area deficient in the curve of stability were the seasons that decided the Commissioners not to accept the boat. Taking, instead of the area referred to, the relative difference between the same and the displacement, I give below a table of comparison between wessels of different tonnage, from which I find that 'the' relative differences are as follows:-

The river pirates, taking advantage of tlie inundations and the stoppage of passenger boat towing, have become particularly audacious. No fewer than three native passenger boats were boarded on Wednesday last and rifled fore and aft.

"Why said the Admiral, on bearing of these disasters, "in a month's time, if the Steamboat Company goes on at this rate, our Canton squadron will all be at the bottom of the river," On a similar basis, if the passenger boats are not protected and the river pirates are allowed to operate as they did last week, it would not be difficult to demonstrate when the passenger boats will cease to iua.

THE "CLAIMANT" IN AMERICA.
"Anybody," says a New York paper, "who wants to shake, hands with one of the most celebrated Englishmen alive will find him acting as manager of a cafe in Willoughby-street. He weighs over three hundred pounds, and he calls himself Sir Roger Tichborne. The English Government used to call him Arthur Orton, but does not know him by that name now. It put him in prison as Arthur Orton, but before he had been there two weeks, one-of the-officiate-came alang-and-took that name from the door of his cell, putting in its place a new name, 'Thomas Castro. The Claimant said, a few days ago - *This fact has never been made public, but here are my discharge papers, and you can see for yourself that I am telling the truth. I found out afterwards that the reason why they changed my name was that they had found the real. Arthur Orton in Australia. Now I was convicted as Arthur Orton, and imprisoned as Arthur Orton, and released as a totally different man, What do you think of that ? may look extremely healthy and untroubled, but I do assure you that am suffering from one of the worst outrages ever put upon a human being.

These volumes are filled with photographs which go into the most minute details of the comparative physical peculiarites of the Claimant and the slim young Roger Tichborne who wandered away Australia, and was never found again unless. in the person of the man whom the English Govern- ment calls Thomas Castro.

The peers have atleast, a clear income of £12,000,000 sterling per annum, coined out of the sweat and tears of the wretched toilers, whom they compel to pay them tribute. All the poverty in this country and in most others under the sun is simply the result of legalized robbery; and, of all legalized robbers, Lord Dunraven and his class are the most destructive and onnivorous. From the House of Lords, as from a perennial fountain, the waters of desolation flow all over the land. Mr. Labouchere once said that our hereditary legislators were more dangerous to the community than all the thieves' kitchens in Christendom.
