Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Trotter, C.B., R.E... who goes to Beyrout as Coneul-General for Syria, in the place of the late Mr. Eldridge. C.M.G., will be remembered in the Far East. In 1876 he was employed on special service in China, and in 1878 was awarded the Victorin medal of the Royal Geographical Society for exploration in Turkestan.
At a recent conference of the Russian General Staff, General Unterberger, one of the governors in the Amour Province, recommended a policy of moderation towards China on the ground that Russia could only oppose 20 battalions to the 80,000 Chinese soldiers stationed in Manchuria. He farther urged a speedy settlement of the question of a Siberian railway, the construction of which, he declared, would prove the best means for counteracting the gravitation of the Chinese towards the Siberian Shores, with the object of eventually gaining possession of the Russian ports on the North Pacific.

We shall therefore be nominally able to supply 1,705 sixteen-candic lights, but, really, our resources will be much greater. In England the popular light is of eight candle power. We can supply 3.500 such lights. But it has been found from experience at home that there are seldom more than half the lights going at once, so that we could really furnish some 6,000 lights with our present plant.

THE BANK EMBEZZLEMENT ČASE. John Gray, accountant in the employ of the New Oriental Bank Corporation, was indicted with the embezzlement of $29,000.
The Attorney-General (Mr. W. M. Goodman) prosecuted, and Mr. J. J. Francis, QC, with Mr. Pollock (instructed by Mr. Wilkinson) appeared for the defence.
The Clerk of Arraigns (Mr. Sangster) baving read the indictment, asked the prisoner if he pleaded guilty or not guilty?
Gray, who seemed less moved than when before the Magistrate, hesitated for a moment, and then replied "I plead guilty."
The Attorney-General I think the course the prisoner has taken renders it unnecessary for me to go into the amended counts at all, or to necessitate the further attendance of the special jury,
His lordship-You will enter a nolle prosegui?, The Attorney-General-Yes. I have nothing to gay in aggravation of this offence--I have taken a good deal of trouble, and gone very fully into it, and I think it is true that this compradore did run away from the Bank last November, and that the prisoner got implicated with him in some speculations, and that the other man was. considerably to blame in the matter. Having once

If the cash had been balanced that evening there would have been a deficiency of a considérable sum, but it was not discovered, because be altered these dates in the bill-bonk, making the billa apparently fall due next day, and so balancing his cash. In this somewhat ingenious way the deficit, which would in the ordinary course have been discovered, was hidden from time to time. His lordship I suppose that in point of fact and that the prisoner by some means ascertained the cash was only balanced at long intervals, when it was going to be.

Application will be mnde to Parliament to re-vote the money provided in last year's Estimates for the refit of the Satellite. The Mercury, Captain Balfour, which was inspected by Admiral Sir Edmund Commerell on the previous day, left Spithead at daybreak on the 15th inst. to replace the Cordelia on the China Station.

Mr. Francis think there is also some security, and I would ask you, on behalfof the pri- soner (and Mr. Herbert will concur in the prayer) that you be as merciful with him, in Iraicting punishment, as you possibly can. I am sure you will do so only regret that I cannot put it more forcibly; I feel there is a serious. responsibility resting on your lordship, but taking into consideration the rarity of such offences in the Colony, the many temptations to which a young man is exposed, and the prisoner's very sincere penitence and sorrow, as well as the fact that punishment would be far more severe to him than to an ordinary criminal of no social standing, whereas to Gray the mere discovery of the crime and the results of it would be a very serious punishment, I hope you will not add very much to that punishment.
His lordship-There is one point which appeared on the depositions, and that was that. the prisoner was allowed to overdraw his account to the extent of $1800.
The cost of our system will be dearer than the present mode of lighting, at the outset, but not much. On a former estimate we calculated that two cents an hour will be about the cast of a sixteen-candle lamp, as compared with the 13 cent rate averaged by the Gas Company. But the light will be more brilliant. The Company The Attorney-General--I did not gé into that, is hardly likely to instal, the light in detached but it struck me, as it has your lordship. Mr..houses unless ten 16-candle lamps are needed, Herbert tells me that he gave positive instructions but in the streets smaller requirements would that he was not to be allowed to overdraw.
His lordship Overdraw at all?
The Attorney-General-Perbaps you would like to have it explained by Mr. Herbert himself You see no cheque could be paid unless the prisoner initialled it, and he could help himself to any amount, but not on his own cheques.
His lordship-From the evilence it appears to be a matter of old standing. It seems to be a rather serious matter to allow a young man to overdraw to that extent.
The Attorney-General-I agree with your lordship; I strongly object to any overdrawing by employes.
His lordship-Certainly to that extent. What was his salary?
The Attorney-General-$200. I understand that he was allowed to overdraw to the extent of $950, on giving proper security, but that the rest of the overdraft was quite recent, and with- out Mr. Herbert's consent or knowledge. Mr. Herbert had given positive orders to the com- pradore that Gray was not to overdraw any more, since be found that out, so that really $850 only was unsecured.
His lordship--I do not think I can permit myself to pass sentence immediately; shall take a little time to consider. This is a very serious and very distressing case, and of course received no intimation wüsterer of the course that has been taken a very proper one, under the circumstances.
The Attorney-General-I did not know myself until I came into Court this morning; I was prepared to go on,
