A NEW YORK paper informs an anxious public of the presence of the Duchess of Marlborough at the 'opera the other night, and that her hair" was arranged on the top of her head." Now what we want to know is where this critic expected to find the lady's hair arranged, if not "on the top 'of her head"? We are surely not to assure that the charming. Duchess wears an artificial head covering, which for the sake of convenience she occasionally carries about in her dress pocket 1 Perhaps our New York friend will enlighten us on this all-absorbing topic.

THE German steamship Amoy, which left this port on the 14th inst, with eight passengers and a general cargo for Shanghal, encoutered a severe typhoon off Breaker's Point when 150 miles out. In the midst of the storm she came into collision with a Chinese junk, and in revers- ing her engines, one of the eccentric rods was broken, which crippled the engines to such an situated. The typhoon, however, soon passed over and after recovering the people from the junk, which was sunk, Capt. Lebmann put back to this port for repairs, arriving here on the afternoon of the 17th inst.

The Chairman said---I have to inform you that the Board of Directors have appointed the Hon. C. P, Chater and Mr. Peesnecker as their representatives, and-I will call on the general body of shareho ders to nominate their re presentatives.

We know that in Shanghai the Associated. Wharves have paid, during the last two years, a dividend of 13 per cent, which is due to the system in force. Formerly they were in a very unsatisfactory state, and I think, after we have inquired into the working of these Godowns, there is every prospect of more satisfactory results being obtained from the shareholders' point of view. There was no feeling of antagonism to the interests of the Company, nor have I any remarks to make detrimental to Mr. Osborne- I think, as I said before, that he has done his very best; but whether improvements, can be brought about remains to be seen,

* EAST LYNNE" at the

THEATRE ROYAL!

Mr. Harry Stanley's Operatic (?) Company appeared at the Theatre Royal, City Hall, East right in a version of Mrs. Henry Wood's well known novel "East Lynne." They played to a beggarly array of emply benches, but truth compels us to say that the numerical strength of the audience was far in advance of the histrionic merits the performance. "East Lynne," although it at one time achieved a. certain amount of popularity on the English provincial stage, is a mawkish sort of production with very unhealthy tendencies, and for years past it has been ostracised as regards high-class theatres. We remember seeing it produced at the Globe Theatre, London, in 1875, with Ada Ward as Lady Isabel, Mr. Leonard

Barrett as the comic policeman; and about a dozen years ago it was played in the City Hall with Miss Annie Firmin as Lady Isabel, Mr. John Jack as Archibald Carlyle, and Mrs. Gorge Crofton as Corney.

ANOTHER CHINESE EXTRADÍ-

Leung Ki Po, who was arrested at the instance of the Chinese Government by virtue of an extradition warrant charging him with murder, burglary and kidnapping, was, again before Mr. Robinson at the Police Court this morning, Mr. Caldwell (of Messrs. Caldwell and Wilkinson) appeared on behalf of the Chinese Government, and Mr. Phillippo was for the defence.

Mr. Caldwell, in opening the case, read the charges. as revised, which set forth that the pri oner on the 17th of May, 1890, at the village of Po Cho, in the district of Ko Jiu, in the province of Kwang Tung, did feloni ously, wilfully, and of malice aforethought, kill and murder one Leung Asi; and also did feloniously and burglariously break and enter the dwelling houses of Leung Pui Yuen and Leung Ko Yuen in the said village, wherefrom he feloniously stole and took divers articles of clothing and money, the property of Lung Pui Yuen, as well as taels 245, the property of Chun Pui Him; and further did feloniously by force take away a little boy, six years of age, with intent to deprive the parents of his possession.

the occupants were the village gentry. The man who was taken away by the thieves "returned to the village, at least so witness heard, g The child, however, had never either come back or been restored. The child was the son of Leung Shu Heh. He did not bring the said Leung Sui Heh to Hongkong as a witness because he did not know where he was living.

In cross-examination witness said that he was instructed come Hongkong on the case by Ko Yo district in Kwang Tung province. A the secretary of the Colonel Commandant of the seri-yres of the Viceroy's Yamen at Canton was in charge of the case and had come to Hongkong by gunbogi frans Canton. He was able to identify the prisoner, Leang Ki Po, on the night in question owing to the fact that a hay stack had been set on fire which lit up the countenances of the men In its vicinity. He was not the fourth to fire at the five men who appeared to be on guard that night. It was his aide de camp who fired the fourth shot while he (witness) fired the fifth. The apparent discrepancy astothe number of shots fired was owing to the fact that he had not completed his story in examina- tion in chief. He was living in Hongkong with the Chinese official in charge of the case. Ho deposited 245 tnels with Leung Pui Yuen on the 4th of February of this year,, He was his relation and had, business transactions with him from time to time. He remembered the date of the affair by the facts of this case, as they were. entirely exceptional in their character generally. As a matter of fact his village had never before been attacked by armed desperadoes,
