The tyhongs of lighters have no regard for the most ordinary precautions. They suddenly heave anchor and deliberately cross a steamer's bows as she is coming to her anchor age, dangerously foul the rudder and propeller with their fastenings, and prevent the slightest movements once they have fastened on, like leeches to their prey. It is one of the most exciting scenes imaginable to witness a local

teamer anchoring at Koh-al-chang; and how vessels and lighters continue to escape with tha little damage occasionally done is, as Lord Dandreary has it, "more than a fellow can understand."

We learn that the result of the post mortem examination of the body, made by Dr. Croucher at the General Hospital yesterday, shows that the deceased died from polsoning caused by large dose of lading.

THE GRIEVANCES OF SHIP. MASTERS AT BANGKOK,

A SCANDALOUS STATE OF AFFAIRS.

BANGKOK, June 16th. The modern shipmaster has gradually de- scended from the prond position of being his employer's confidential agent to that of a mere paid servant who may be bullied and barried with impunity by every jack-in-office in port, The new arrangements under which modern shipping transactions are carried on necessitats, no doubt, that the master of a steamer should keep to his professional duties exclusively. But do not make it obligatory that masters of trading vessels should assume the burdens of the proverbial camel and stugger undat a multi- tude of disabilities which are as nonecessary as they are irksome and irritating. Most port regulations and sufficiently severe on the class referred to, and scant regard is too often shown them by their Representatives in parts outside British jurisdiction. The port of Bangkok is an excellent case in point.

Major Burn Mardoch, of the Egyptian cavalry, has occupied Suarda, capturing the Dervishes camp and killing many of the enemy. The infantry are advancing to hold Suards, which givon the Egyptians command of the whole northern Nile.
