YESTERDAY afternoon a slight accident happened to the up-going tram-car shortly after leaving the station. By some means the cable got off one of the guiding pullies at the first curve,
not before sereml of the pullles bad been torn The car was almost immediately stopped, but up and the car derailed. The passengers lost no time in getting out of the car, which was delayed about two hours in consequence of the mishap.
A CORRISPONDENT draws our attention to the fact that, the name of the unfortunate gentle- man about whom so much has been wiliter in connection with the Stanley expedition is Jamelon and not Jamieson as has appeared in the Hongkong papers. We make the correction with pleasure and also asso e our correspondent that his opinion on the sensational stories ancat the behaviour of Mr. Jameson and Major Bartelet, is ours top.

It is composed of what were lately private seamers, for the most part small and ancient, armed with guns half-a- century old Etiquette Intely drimanded that these vessels should salute the foreign ships in part, and it is reported to have been a wonderful ordeal. Ultimately with the aid of a red-hot eight to see the native gunners going through the poker, the cannon were discharged at such long and irregular intervals as to seriously diminish the pomp of the proceeding.
Irls understood, says the Kwang Pao, that a -n telerram has been received from Peking relative to the disputed question of Hongkong chartered junks, to the effect that the trade between Hongkong and Canton differs from that between the Treaty ports and that Hongkong junks, whether chartered or not, come under the Dative Customs. The point is not very material, for the duties levied by the native Customs are, aan rule, lighter than those payable under tarif At the foreign Customs, and it in addition to these duties the native Customs here or at Kowloon attempt to levy either lekin or battery tax on foreign-owned goods, whether shipped by junk or foreign vessel, it is so clearly illegal that there can be no doubt it can be successfully

Hawk on Sir William C. Robinson thus:-The return of Sir William Cleaver Robinson to Western Australia is being anxiously looked forward to by the calonists, with whom he made himself exceedingly popular during bis previous governorship of the Colony. Both Sir William and his elder brother, Bir Hercules, have got on remarkably well in the Colonial official harness, however, and gone in for bank service. The latter has now thrown off his and company directo ships, for which bis long experience fits bim admirably, During his last governorship at the Cape he is said to have made a pot of moner out of Griquiland diamonds, and if he ever gets a chance to give Cecil Rhodes a friendly kick forward in the direction of a knighthood he is bound to do it. As for the new Governor of the wild Western Colony of Australia, he lives pleasantly on his salary, doing his duty well and truly at all times, and devoting his spare time to musical com position. He has already turned off some very good srags, which are sung everywhere at the Andpodes.

Mr. Ryrie in seconding the resolution said he was sure it was highly desirable that in all but very exceptional cases the maximum salaries

be made equivalent
to any reasonable promotion that they could expect. It was very necessary that they should know exactly what could be expected when accepting office under Government. It might appear, on the face of it, as hardship to prohibit officials from filling several offices at one time, but he was convinced that it was necessary
and would result in ultimate benefit to the
Colony. He had much pleasure in seconding the honourable member's resolation,
His Excellency said that the allusions made by Mr. Whitehead in opening his remarks, relative to the resolution before the House, were out of order.

It might he desirable to remove officials from then specific datles of their posts as little as possible and this should exigencies of the public service could be met in be, and no doubt was, avoided whenever the that way.

If the honourable member would not press the resolution to a division at once he would agree to forward a copy of it the Secretary of State together with bis own suggestions, but it must not be understood that he agreed with the whole
