ONE of the probationary Chinese detectives distinguished himself the other day in away which, if it does not lend to his promotion, will probably cause him to be sent to a place higher than the Police Station, He is an educated Chinaman, belonging to Vancouver. He is alleged to have gone into a Club in Cochrane-Street on the 19th inst. and asked for $10. The manager told him to close the door from the other side, upon which he made a poke at that individual with his umbrella, lugged out a truncheon, and said, in effect, that he was Hawkshaw, the detective. He also mentioned that he was capable of closing that Club in about forty-eight hours, and 50 017 The club people complained to the Palice, and Inspector Hennessy put the detective under arrest. Mr. Webber defended the case this morning, and the prisoner whose story was that he was falsely accused, having only gone into the Club after a thief was committed for trial, bail of $too being accepted.

THE New York World recently obtained from the Treasurer of each State the value of the pro- perty assessed for taxation. The census office in
1866 made a report of an inquiry into the pro- portions existing in each State between the taxed property and the actual wealth, which ranged between 15 percent in Illinois and 68 in Wyoming. The World'steport shows an increase in taxable property of $6.953,000,000, and an increase in actual wealth of $18,661,000,000, since 1880. The total wealth is $61,419,000,000, ex- clusive of public property, and of $1,093,000.com worth of property invested and owned abroad. The wealth of the United States now exceeds the total wealth of the whole world at any time previous to the middle of the eighteenth century, and the amount invested abroad is alone equal to the national wealth of Portugal and Den- mark. There are only five nations whose total wealth is equal to the mere increase of the United States in the past nine years.'
