A REGULAR meeting of the Diligentia Lodge of Instruction will be held in Freemasons' Hally Zetland Street, on Thursday, the 38th instant, at 5 for 5.30 p.m. precisely. Visiting brethren are cordially invited.

A GRAND wedding procession passed through the honour of the nuptials of the eldest daughter of Mr. Chen Faling, manager of the China Merchants' Co., to the eldest son of Commodore Teng Shib-chang, of the Palyang squadron. Temporary quarters for the wedding were taken by the bridegroom at the Tien Pao hotel on Ning Road, the residence of his father being at Cheloo.

THE N. C. Daily News "bears from Hongkong that the owners of the Bantam have given that ressel up to satisfy the claims of the Amigo and that the latter vestel is to be condemned.” Nothing like going abroad to get news of home. Rut why did our Shanghal contemporary priat such palpably silly rot 7

IT is now stated that the reason for closing the Tonrshan Cement Works, although there may have been contributory causer, was the inability to produce cement of reliable quality. The dude who is supposed to 'run' the Green Island Cement Company for the benefit of Arnhold, Karberg & Co. will smile all over his feet when he reads this encouraging news.

The Chinese Government has recently con- siderably Increased the military forces la Chinese Turkestan. Detachments from the Peking Field Force and the Viceroy Li Hung- chang's European drilled body-guard, all armed with the most improved army, have greatly strengthened the army that is preparing to reetta Ruselen advance-when it comes.

AT the Magistracy to-day, before Commander Hastings, & coolle was charged with stealing pair of gold earrings frem a woman. The com plainant stated that at seven o'clock ible mon ing, when on the Praya Central, the prisoner snatched her earrings and ran away, soon caught and arrested by police constable Sonda Sing, who gave corroborative evidence. The defendant as usual denied iko charge and stated that on this occasion he witnessed the theft, and, having been informed that those who anested senlag-spatchers would be rewarded, he gave chase but unfostonately stumbled and fell, and in dolog to knocked against a Chlea. map, and he was wrongfully arrested. He was rewarded with three months hard labour and eighteen strokes with the bamboo.

Oun Shanghal morning contemporary sayu " It would be interesting to know who this Count Popeff is, who has been passing himself off in Hondlala as lately Russian Consul General at Shanghai, and whether he is connected with the Conut Popoff who was in trouble in Hongkong not ang ago." Well, we don't think this in dividual can be the enterprising owner of the imaginary yacht Cuikte Doo, who did his time In Victoria Gaol like an old stager for swindling Mr. J. F. Webber. When the Telegraph last heard of the Count be was in trouble in the Mauritius for imagining that he was a French Admiral, etc., etc.

In our toadylog. tuft-bunting morning contem porary the Secretary of State for the Colonies is #the Right Honorable Marquis of Ripon" and the Governor of Hongkong "His Excellency Sir William Robinson." This tommy rot in these days of commonsense is absolutely alckening. "Rt. Honorable Marquis," and "His Excellency Sir" appear only in strictly official documents Whoever saw in a London paper Mr. Gladstone, the Prime Minister of the Empire, described as the "Rt. Hon., unless in an officisi document Whoever saw an M.P. described in the report of A debate In the House of Commons as the Hon. Somebody? But then this is Hongkong, and the rasa guilty of soch utterly purpiseless rubbish are Granny and the China Snail. From the gutter one can only reasonably expect mud.

THE negellations for the opening of a regular line to Bombay from Japan for the shipment of cotton hitherwards, between the Spioners Association and the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, did not come to any practical result, says the Japan Herald of the 14th inst, but it has now been decided by the Nippon Yasen Kaisha, in response to the application of the Kanegalachi Spinning mill, Osaka Spinolog Mill, Joint Steck Cotton Co, Mie Spinning Mill sad Home and Foreign Co., to open a regular line between Kobe and Bombay, with four steamers. Any other mills desirous of joining the union will be gladly welcomed.

Tat Shanghat Mercury of the 22nd last, says: We are informed by a Tientsin correspondent that the property of the unfortunate French Syndicate in Tientsin, which was sold by Mr. E. B. Lees, on the reth lost, was purchased by Mr. Bohr, the Foreign fictotum of Sbeng Tantal, for the sum of Tis. 20,000. As, however, the property is situated in the French Concession the sale has yet to receive the authorisation of the French Consul, and people are wondering whether that functionary will sanction its transfer, be having already cancelled a former

ACCORDING to the N. C. Daily News it is rumoured in Chinese circles in the North, that the Viceroy LI Hung-chang recently sent a secret memorial to the Throne, pointing out that he was getting ton old for the onerous duties connected with his position as Viceroy of Chibil. and virtually Secretary of State for Fanelen Affairs, and recommending that he should be permitted to retire, and that Shao Yükleo, Governor in

of Formosa, or Wu Ta-cheng, Governor of Honen, or one of the two Manchu The Presidents of Baards at Peking, whom he named, should be appointed to succeed him.

The Coroner, Mr. H.E.

THE interesting hillard tournament which bas been running is course in the Hongkong Hotel for the past six weeks or so, was brought to a close last night, when the foal wis played between Messrs. A. H. Skelton sad Dyer, the latter belog conceded 35 points. The play was decidedly good, Skelton expecially putting some brilisat work and being favoured with a very full share of the lack. Dyer played a steady but somewhat unlucky game right on to the end, but never musged to get an equal terms with his opponent. Skelton won by so points in addition to the handicap.

THE owners of the steam ferry launch Pune tuality were charged by Sergeant Niven at the Police Court to-day with carrying an excess of passengers. Mr. Northcote, Secretary of the Steam Launch Company, appeared for defendants the fare and submitted that according to sheet there had only been the proper sumber carried, but that it was very dificult to pre- vent passengers from crowding on board without the Captain's knowledge. Sergeant Niven deposed that on the 24th inst, at 3.45.p.m he went along ide the sld launch whilst she was plying between Hongkong and Yaumati and counted the passengers. In order to do so properly he made, some of them come sheard the police with him. He found 108 adults and a children launch and took the first defendant, the Captals, or tro all said, whereas the passenger licence only allowed her to carry 99 and a crew of six or tog sil told. The captain of the Punctuality denied having been present when the passed gers were counted. His Worship found the evidence was sufficiently conclusive to find defendants fifteen dollars or six weeks.
