BANGKOK, July 16th. His Majesty the King turned the rod, of the first Siamese railway to-day, amidst great popular enthusiasm.

A TYPHOON.

A SHORT time ago a cable message reported that a French scientist in Algeria had been smothered by clouds of locusts, after vainly endeavoring to defend himself by means of fire. It now seems that the foundation for the story was a humorous paragraph in an Algerian paper, which was taken seriously by a credulous correa, pondent and telegraphed to Paris. The scientist is alive and well.

Two of the men in the excise officers' boat swore that they saw no chasing of Tsang Yu Shang nor any assault upon him. Mr. Wise in giving his decision said that the evidence, though very contradictory, pointed to a definite attack upon Tsang Yu by the aficers; that being so, there was no occasion to pronounce upon the ability or inability of excise officers to arrest persons, though the Ordinance evidently intended that they should have such powers. The two excise officers were fined $10 each, and the others dis- charged.

PROFESSOR Lawrie, bf Hyderabad, declares that deaths from chloroform are really due to the im proper method of administration. He contends that Syme's method, which Lister subsequently sanctioned by adopting, is almost absolutely safe. Under this system the respiration only is at tended to, while the ordinary method the pulse as well as the respiration is watched. Lawrie concludes "that the application of chloro- form in ordinary cases is almost criminal unless Synte's method is followed." · He' claims that chloroform bas been given in this way by him and bis students many thousands of times without a single fatality, and refers in support of his position to the Commission appointed by an Indian Prince, which, carrying out experiments on animals, demonstrated that chloroform kills dogs by paralysing the respiration, never by paralysing the heart Needless to say the result, conflicting as I did with Engliat views, was not accepted in London, and another Commission was accordingly appointed, to which the Lanest sent out a member. The Lancet man held the conventional view as to the action of chloroform upon the heart; but the investigation occasioned

A PRELIMINARY report of the census of Ireland for 189r has been shed. According to the general summary it appears that 4,706, 162 persons (2.317.076 males nad 2.389,086 females) were returned in the enumerators! summaries as constituting the population of Ireland on the night of Sunday, the 5th of last April, thus showing a decrease since 1981 of 458,674 persons. There was during the decade a decrease of 81,171 persons in the province of Leinster, 161.121 in Munster, 125.19 in Ulster, and 98,084 in Connaught. Of the total population 3.549.745 returned themselves as Roman Catholics, 600,810 were returned under the head of Protestant Episcopalians, 446,687 were returned as Presbyterians, and 55,235 as Methodists.

SUPREME COURT.

IN SUMMARY JURISDICTION, (Before Mr. E. F. Ackroyd, Acting Chief. Justice).

INARTISTIC LYING,

Mr. Morrison, of the water and drainage depaitment, was sued for damages caused to Ng Sik Kiu, a contractor. The same parties appeared in the police court a few days ago, when the defendant was fined fifty cents for assault.

Plaintiff and two other Chlanman sald that defendant struck the contractor with his fist, knocked blm down, and then threw. a brick at him, steking-him-first-on-the-elbow

and then, by a skilful screw cannos, rebaunding on his wrist and breskine a jade stone bangle, worth $70.

.

The defendant and a Siich watchman said that the "assault" was nothing more than a push with the open band, plaintiff in stepping back fell over a stone seat, and broke the bangle in his fall

This admission would have given the plaintier a verdict, but in the course of the story about the brick it was so manifest that the plaintiff and his witnesses were lying outrageously that his Lordship said he could not believe a word of their story, and gave judgment for defendant.

Ar the Legislative Council meeting this afternoon the report of the Colonial Surgeon (Dr. P. B. C. Ayres) for 1800 was laid on the table. We make the following extracts from it: There is a large troops this year, with a slight decrease in the average strength. The deaths show a decrease of one. In spite of an unusually healthy year among the generi population, Europeans and Chinese, the sickness amongst the troops is much in excess of the previous nine years, and the number of deaths has only been exceeded three times (in 1885-8-9). The admissions to the Government Cirul Hospital show a very considerable increase this year.

3. That the presence of a Chinese Consul to Hongkong will have a bad effect on the resident Chinese population, weakening their sense of the power and authority of the English Government, setting up in their midst a rival authority to which they will be encouraged to appeal on all possible occasions, tending to create a very dancerous "Imperium in Imperio.*
