THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1888.

This statement caused a sensation in Court. O'Shea added: "It was Gladstone's wishes that I should be as reticent as possible, from motives of political expediency."

He was a coulie employed in unloading cargo boats, and when lifting a bale of goods out of the boat he overbalanced himself and fell into the river. The weather here has been very unsettled for the past fortnight which is by no means what we should expect at this season of the year,

The Revenue cruiser Ling Feng, Captain Farrow, has been in Wenchow for some days pasí, and will probably come to this port about the 1st December. There is a rumour that the U.S.S. Omaka is to come to Ningpo and remain for some weeks; this seems, almost too good to be true. The presence of a foreign man-of-war would enliven the place very much, and I am sure we should all do our best to make the time spent here pass pleasantly with both officers and crew. You may imagine how eagerly a confir- mation of the rumour is looked for.~Shanghai

12nd November 1888. Quite a large quantity of ice was floating lo the river this morning. It looked as if the Liao Ho had been frozen over and then had broken up with the tide, but it is said most of the ice had formed on the banks, and had floated off with rather higher tide than usual. Any. how shipmasters and sailors were scared, and

amongst others it is feared H.M.S. Cockchafer | ST. JOHN may think it imprudent to stay and take all possible risk with the chance of getting into the dock, already prepared for ber." It is a great pity that no arrangement was made for docking the vessel long before her arrival. Rut for red-tape, orders could have been telegraphed that a dock must be prepared, so that when the Cockchafer arrived on 14th inst. she could have glided into her winter quarters without any difficulty. As it is a contract was made immediately on arrival of the gunboat; but the work could not be completed under five days, and in the meantime a strong south wind reduced the water so much that do king could not take place. At present the Cockchafer proceeds to the "Deep hole" for anchorage, and if there be no danger will return to-morrow, when, if the wind changes, there will be water enough. Unfortunately the wind may remain due north, and more ice will farm-qui e enough to induce a prudent commander of a wooden vessel to clear out, although perhaps in a day or two the weather will be quite pleasant, with no ice in the river, and people exclaim "How frightened the gunboat people were. Why, steamers can discharge and load cargo quile easily." Just now, however, it in anything but easy to do so. It will be a great pity if the Cockchafer does not come back; but whether she can or not we have reason to be very grateful to the Admiral for so promptly carrying out the wishes of perhaps, the smallest community of British subjects in the East-N. C. Daily News;

We understand that the Admiral telegraphed for a dock to be got ready at Newchwang at icant a month ago, but the delay was in New.. chwang, where nothing was done, until the Cockchafer actually arrived, and then it was tón late—ED.]

MR. PARNELL AND THE ☀ TIMES?”

LONDON, October 31st, The Parnell Commission resumed its investi- gation to-day. Attorney-General Webster, for The Times, -asked-leave-to-interpose-Captain. O'Shea as a witness, as he wanted to go immediately to Spain. The witness testified that he had been on good terms with Parnell until June, 1888. At Parnell's request, in June, 1881, he communicated with Glads one. Witness did not know Patrick Egan.

Parnell told him that Egan did not know about the negotiations with the Government until after Gladstone's speech in the Commons, May 16, 1882. Parnell then, spoke to hit of the Awkward position he was placed in by Gladstone's speech, and told how the speech annoyed Egan and others.

Negotiations then ceased until 1882, when Parnell and Dillon were in jail Egan was then in Paris. The first proposal of the witness made to the Government in 1883 was offered without the authority of Pamell. He received com- munications from certain raembers of the Govern- ment replying to the proposals. When Parnell was released from Kilmainham Jail witness told

him of the position of the negotiations. He had

written Gladstone, and was to arrange that any answer he might make should be sent to Parnell,

Witness asked Parnell if he was sure he was able to carry out hla guarantee to suppress outrages, and Parnell gave him assurance that Parnell has said that Sheridan would be a most useful man in the work of putting down boycotting if he could only see and converse with him. Boyton and Egan would also be useful.
