On the night of the zih ult, a Chinaman entered Mr. Griffith's bed-room, in Ice-House Lane, and stole a gold watch' which was lying on a small table near the bed. The thief had climbed up the scaffolding which is around the building, and entered the room by a small open window. When brought before Mr. Robinson at the Police Court this morning the prisoner stated that his father had given him the watch, but this excuse being too fishy for the magistrate he was pentenced to six months in gaol, with hard labour.

À CORRESPONDENT Writes from Fatsban, under Saturday's date It may interest you to know that there was a rather severe earthquake shock felt at Fatahan at 9.55 to-night. It lasted for nearly a couple of minutes, the wave of disturbance seeming to move to the westward. There was first a trembling, gradually increasing in severity, then two or three somewhat alarming shocks, accompanied by a rumbling sound as of distant thunder or anfilery, then another brief period of tremor, and so the disturbance passed away. I have not heard of any damage being done, but the people were much alarmed, and said to one another that it must be a great dragon passing.

THE Government Gazette of Saturday publishes a copy of the Board of Trado's instructions to Surveyors, modifying the rules for measurement of the tonnage of vessels under the tonnage deck, prescribed by section 21 of the Merchants Shipping Act of 1854.
IGNORAMUS" falls heavily on our editorial corus in respect to a most interesting paragraph which we wrote with our scissors on Saturday. We gave the weight of the ray-fish that got stuck on the stem of the Melbourns off Cape St. James the other day at "1,900 kilos, or 860 lbs. We are free to confess our error, Iggy" say. But no-one can accuse us of telling fish- it should have been 4,000 lbs. odd, as you lies after that, especially as the Singapore Free Press was our authority, and the Daily Ditto our companion in crime.
AT the Supreme Court this moming, before Mr. Justice Wise, sitting in Summary Jurisdic tion, the suit brought by Ben. J. Taylor, shipping officer at the Sallors' Home, against John Ferris, for $30 advance money, was resumed.

Witness believed that the advance money was refunded to the captain by the master of the State of Mains Plainti, re-called, confirmed this, and after a wandering speech by the defendant his lordship gave judgment for the amount claimed, with costs.
