AT the Police Court this morning, before Mr. Wodehouse, nine sampan men were fined filty cents each for going alongside the German steamer Michael Jebsen, which arrived yester day from Nagasaki, flying the yellow flag.

Tur Pacific Mail steamship China, Capt. Seabury, which arrived yesterday morning from San Francisco, made an exceptionally fast trip having covered the entire distance, via Victoria, BC, in twenty-three days some hours. This includes a stop of 8 hours at Victorin and 48 hours at Yokohama. Her time last trip was twenty-four days odd.

We learn from the Manila Diario that on the 16th inst. the little'gun-bont Patrel, which was built by the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Co. for the British North Borneo Government, and left here for Sandakan about a fortnight ago, puł into Canecao, near Manila, with smoke issuing from her bunkers. With assistance the fire was extinguished, the vessel going to Varadero to. repair.

THE Malacca correspondent of the Straits Timer tells us that Capt. Paterson, of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, whose adventures with a wounded elephant we reported some time aluce, was brought down from Quala Pilah to Malacca in an ambulance carried by sixteen coolies. On arrival, on the evening of the 14th inst. Capt. Paterson was at once conveyed to the Government Rest House, where the assist ance of Dr. Hoad, the Colonial Surgeon, will be at bis disposal. We regret to have to state that Capt. Paterson's health was not so satisfactory as could have been desired.

THE law is a very unknown quantity On the Brandt for $75 brokerage, Mr. Justice Wise 18th October last, when J. Samuel sued 0. said: "I am of opinion that a broker, when he has brought the parties together, and their names are approved and the contract entered into and signed, is entitled to his brokerage on the part of the vendor or purchaser-he certainly does not guarantee the character of either." He therefore gave judgment for the plaintiff. On tha 15th inst. at Singapore broker sued a speculator for rokerage, and when "Dicky Danman said that after a broker had got the purchaser and vendor together his work was finished, Chief Justice O'Malley said he never heard of that," and gave judgment for the defendant. The moral which this tale points is that brokers must carry shot-guns But candidly speaking, after recent experiences, we don't think much of Hongkong law; it is an uncertain, adulterated kind of mixture that must be taken with the greatest caution. And we think still less of the stuff Mr. Chief Justice O'Malley ladies out in Singapore.

The Chairman (af er some conference)-There was an agreement with the Admiralty, who pro- mised, in consideration of the Dock being built, her Majesty's vessels would dock here unless it was detrimental to the interests of the Service. Of course we know that some of them docked In Japan.

Mr. Bain-It is very certain that the bullding of this Dock has been detrimental to the interests of shareholders-whatever it may have been to the Service.

The Chairman-Well, it must rest with the home authorities to decide.

Mr. Bain-Might I ask if any representations have been made to the Admiralty as to the unfair treatment, of the shareholders, in withholding much that they might have given to us after their assurance ?

HONGKONG GOLF CLUB. MR. JUSTICI CLARKE'S TEAM V. HON. A. P. MACEWEN'S TEAM.

This adjourned match took place on Saturday, in rather hot weather. The putting greens were very hard and keen, which militated some. what against accurate short play. The rest of the course, however, was in splendid trim thanks to the efforts of the Hon. Samuel Brown and his " female scythes "--and altogether a most enjoyable and interesting game was the result.

Owing to the unavoidable absence of Mr. MacEwen, Major Hannay took his place with Mitchell-Innes against the Chief Justice and Dr. Lowson. The initial stage of the game gave promise of a close match as the sixth hole saw all square." After this, however, the latter couple completely ran away from their opponents, and putting in some very effective work towards the close, landed in seven holes up.

The exports reached $331,635, of which $51,980 came to Hongkong, being about double the value of the goods sent from here. latter included $13.765 cotton yare, $3,880 cotton goods, $6,20 tobacco, and $1,395 velveteens.

Loo-kay, specially con- bigher reaches of the Red River, points out that, apart from the strategic value of the discovery they made, it is bound to boom trade with Yunnan. By the former route, taking fifty to sixty days, the cost of transporting Government stores to Lao-kay was considerably over $30 a ton-a cost now very greatly reduced. The fecalculably rich mining districts will now be exploited, the Delta, will be developed, and notwithstanding the ten years' start England has bad by the Burmah route, Lag-kay must soon become the distributing centre to Yunnan and the rest of Western China. Lao-kay is the point at which junks are loaded and unloaded, and when there is a regular service, taking only four or five days, the Chinese merchants will abandon their present costly methods of trans. porting goods by land, the Chloese Customs will be transferred from Mengtza and Mang-hao to Song-Phong, opposite to Lan-kay, and trade will increase to an extent bitherto undreamt of.

Even now the production is so great that in January fast the duty received by the Chinese Customs at Mengiru exceeded $20,000, being double that of the corresponding month in 1889. And the Red River had not been really opened then. Our contemporary estimates that the future ought to see an average monthly traffic of not less than $75,000–possibly $250,000.
