There was a counterclain for $66 advanced and $56 damages for breach of contract.-Mr. Dentys Appented for the plaintiff, and Mr. Cald- well for the defendant.

Mr. Derinys stated that in April an action was brought by the defendant,, before Mr. Justice Leach, in which he claimed the amount of the present counterclaim, but was nonsuited, the plaintiff being advised to bring an action against in for the armount now claimed. The plaintiff supplied six coolics to go to North Borneo, and they went on board the steater. On applying for the money defendant threatened to sue him for damages, as the coolics ran away after receiving

their money.

Plaintiff having proved the engagement of the men, and the subsequent disagreement with the defendant respecting paymeel,,

Mr. Caldwell, in defence, stated that his client brad arranged with a company in British North Bomics to supply no more than 150 coolies, and no less than go, and in default of fulfilmcht was to forfeit a certain amount per man. Owing to -the breach of agreement on behalf of the plaintiff he incurred a loss of $rio. The plaintiff baɖ been paid on account of the men before they absconder; and this sum also was claimed.

The Yellow River banks are the cause of deep disquiet to the Imperial Government, as it is known that all the bund, on both sides of the river, may be deemed unsound. If the great breach should be repaired, which now seems unlikely, no doubt the river will break out in other places, north or south, or both. It is said the Imperial Government urge the Viceroy Li to visit the river, that he may take counsel and report what is the best to be done to avert inundation in the future.
