LONDON, November 28th.

In the Commons to-day W. H. Smith, the Government leader, moved that Government business be given priority until the Christmas holidays. It was proposed, he said, to bring up the Irish Land Bill for its second reading on Tuesday. This announcement brought a chorous of "Oh's" from the opposition.

Labocchere protected that the rights of private members were being wrenched away from them. Gladstone insisted that the opposition was entitled to demand a further and fuller statement

the Government's proposed course of action, regarding the time of the House after the Christmas holidays." -

After further debate Smith's motion was carried-221 to 173.

ANOTHER VESSEL LOST. *.

The Reports of the loss of another foreign- owned, vessel arrived from Shanghai this. morning. The report of the occurrence which appeared in the columns of our Stangbal morning contemporary runs as follows:

On Wednesday afternoon the tugs Fühles and Fairy succeeded in towing off the Forest King which had been ashore on the Middle Ground below the Klutoan light-vessel. Flath tugs were towing ahead, the Fuhler being on the starboard quarter of the Fairy, and they had proceeded about three miles, when the Fukle crashed into the starboard side of the Fairy abaft of the engine room, cutting through ber guard, piercing the hull; and damaging her so badly that she sank in seven minutes, in 21 feet of water at low tides. The Fundaz hid her stem broken and the plates on both sides of it atave in. The Fuhle having rescued the crew of the Fairy returned to Shanghai for repairs It is anticipated that the Fairy can be raised.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN JAVA.

At Balavin, so ys the Nieuwsblan the shocks were slight, the motion being horizontal from North to South. The shocks slowly followed each other for x quarter of an hour, but in West and Mid Java they were heavier, and great numbers of houses cracked and were otherwise damaged.

RUSSIA IN ASIA.

The Nippon-jin discusses in recent issues the position of Russia in Asia, especially in her relation to Japan. The articles show more than ordinary research and command of facts. The Tokyo periodical thirks that many of its country. men over-rate the effective strength of Russia as an Asiatic Power. To disprove this erroneous notion is the task which the Nippon sets itself in the present csary. There are, says our con- temporary, three things which, of all others excite feelings of alarm and ferror in the minds of the Japanese namely the mighty and well disciplined aviny of the Czar, the construction of the Siberian railway, and the colonisation of Sagha- in. As to the fighting capacity of Russia in Asia, Japani need not, we are told, be afraid of the great Northern Power,' because, in addition to Russis's financial embarrassment,

The Shanghai left Shanghai on Wednesday at 8 am and reached Chi-kiang either late the Bame night of early on Thursday morning, the 25th. She left Chinklang at 4 a.m. with over 400 Chinese and one foreign passenger, Mr. Kaifer, on board. At about 7am. when the steamer was six miles below Mud Fort, smoks was discovered coming out of the afterhold in which was stowed, amongst other cargo, a lot of cotton, The second mate. Mr. Nicholson, immediately got the fire pumps to work, and Captain Martin at way towards develoting the natural fre was informed of what had happened. Mean- while the hose was played on the mainhold batch, but all of a sudden the hatches gave way, being burnt through, probably, and an immense volume of dense black smoke shot up out of the hatchwar, which made it impossible for the second officer to remain there any longer. He then started to gp forward, but found the Chinese * 'panic-stricken seething mass of humanity. struggling vainly to get to a place of safety. He could not get through them, so crawled along outside the ship and thus got to his des tination. As soon as Captain Martin w there was no means of getting the fire ander, a fact that became apparent very shortly after the alarm was given, he beaded the steamer for the bank of the river and ras her so viniently ashore, that her how was right up the bank der ordinary circumstances, this wou'd have given greater facilities for escape, but the shid was in flames from stems to gtern in less than fifteen minutes from the time of the alarm being givet, and the Chiness were in anche confused, mais in the alley ways that they could not get forward to escape. Many jumped overboard and were drowned, while others were burnt to death. The foreigners were able to get ashore, Captain Martin and one of the pilots being the last to leave the vessel. Mr. Kniffler waded shore and when he, landed, he was attacked by the villagers who attempted to strip kim of his clothing. The Chinese passengers, who succeeded in reaching the shore were similarly attacked and were stripped of Jheir clothing. A Chiness mandarin guoboat and a steam launch which were near at

As to the Siberian railway, our contem- porary observes that its completion will go a

In this respect the line deserves the closest attention of the Japa nese nation.
