We learn by cablegram that the E. A. Co.'s steamship Airlis, Cantain Winthrop Ellis, from Sydney direct to Shanghai, has ran ashore some where near Woosung bar, whilst in charge of a pllot. Nothing serious is apprehended, kad, it out difficulty. is expected that the steamer will be floated with.

The head of the Kolas Society, Yang Lao-wit. on whose account the Manchu garrison troops almost caused a riot at Chinkiang, was recently captured in Anbul and was executed on the very night following his arrest and trial, Several other well-known local roughs are now belog punished with the cangue at the city gates of Nganking.

An awkward contratemps happened on the evening of the rst instant at the funeral of the late Mr. D. Ferguson, of the Naval Yard. The Undertakers horses took it into their heads to strike work, and notwith- standing the efforts of Brown, Jones & Co.'s a file of marines were in attendance, who, quickly experts positively refused to move. Fortunately procuring a gun carriage, conveyed the body to its last resting place.

The crew of the Nova Scotian barque Zeina Gondry appeared in a body at the Magistracy vesterday, and applied to Mr. Wise for a warrant for the arrest of the Captain, a man named Manning, whom they charge with having been the cause of the suicide of a allor whilst on the massage to Hongkong. The Magistrate refused in issue a warrant, but granted a summons calling upon Manning to put in an appearance at the Central to-day.

The muggling operations are directed by to the toast. Chinese, who show the utmost artfulness la baffling the excise and customs officers, favoured as they are by the configuration of the Java Coast, strdded as it is with countless marshes, creeks, rivulets, and jungly tracts. The smug glers are so banded together that it is only treachery in their ranks that ever leads to discoveries of any importance. The contraband article is no skilfully concealed that, for instance, when a consignment of preserved provisions or petroleum arrives in part, none but those in the secret can tell what particular tins out of thou sands contain opium, they sometimes being fitted with double bottoms for that purpose. In cheese, batter, hams, in barrels with tar, and in fact in every article that one can think of, the Chinese slow away oplem almost with Imunity. Accomplices everywhere abound, especial y la Singapore. Large jndicates have a band in the business, which buy up the opism at Singapore or in Bali. An expert, writing in a commercial newspaper in Holland, gives particulars of their mode of operation, and the ordinary profits realling therefrom. For instance, a big speculator generally deals with one hundred cases of the drug, which, at 100 guilders each come to 100,000 guilders. Out of the hundred he allows, in case of need, say 25 cases to be seized by the officials so as to draw away thelt, attention from the spot where he mean to deal hi main stroke. The 75 cases which he, in this wise, brings safe ashore, yields him at least 20,000 gulders a case, so that his total receipts reach a million and a half of ruilders. The 25 cases he gave up to led the searchers off the scent, matter little to him in view of the heavy profits, but usually he gele off with less. The smuggling headmen, are, it is said, almost hever caught, as the risks of capture are un by well, salaried accomplices, who, when sentenced to imprison. ment in consequence, are well provided for by their employers.

Tire extent to which some people carry the mourning craze is at present being ludicrously exhibited in the streets of Hongkong, when a certain young nobleman, who may or may not bea Hungarian magnate, can be seen taking bis airing abroad with his coolies elegantly branded with elaborately designed badges of woe. Why chair-coolies should be required to share in the griefs of their employers is something that can not be readily conceived by ordinary mortals, THE Very Rev, Canon Pinto, vicar of the Partu." gurse Church of St. Joseph's at Singapore, died at Goa on the gli ult.
