bat of showing to you that there are Chinamen as keenly upright and public-spirited as yourself and other Englishmen. Speaking of the silen Chiasmen in point of principles, I must lay stress on the fact that many are called but few are chosen is quite applicable to them. Until their religion is changed for what has been the basis on which English law was and has been cascted, and until they cast off their selfish and prejudicial characteristics, the Strait born Chi-ci, auxious as they to see the prope fly of theft alles caastas, cannot have the pleasure of enjoying such right. But, for all I bave said above, let me zak you to bear In mind theples of the shipwrecked Chinamen that "they were too pror to pay "and that the reason for which they entered into a contract to pay $20 was that ther thought they could obtulo money "frem their relatives, but were disappointed." Their farther plea was that they were shipwrecked men, and "asked to be so treated. These plaas naturally attract human sympathy and strike one as reasonable. The only fault on the part of the two Chinames is that conside ing the delicacy of the matter they should have told their financial position to their then Intend. openly ing rescuesa belaze entering Into the contract. Hist even then seme sympathy should be felt for the position lato which the two Chiasmen were then thrown; because, had they told the truth to the Malays the latter might bare not rescued them; so Malays and all heathen almost are not without mercenary characteristics. This is a matter. I think, you have not acted very wisely to interfere in. However, as you have so faterfered, and the first subjects for which you so interfered are good and worthy of praise, I, as

I consider the behaviour of the two Chinamen base in the extreme for this reason: Having teen much of the allen Chinese, I doubt very much that the two shipwrecked Chinamen referred to have tried their atmost to pay their debt of bounden gratfinde after they were landed safely at Singapore, and it remains for me but to form this conclusion: that the benefit of sach doubt under the clicumstances should be given to the Malays.

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.
ENGLAND ATTACKED BY THE FOREIGN PRESS,
ST. FITERSBURG, Apill 28th:
The visit of the Emperor Francis Joseph is balled with Rvely satisfaction on all sides. In view of the Interests of Russia and Austria in the East, it is regarded as particularly o portens that the two Empires should giva tangible evidence of their mutual regard at the present moment, when the next slago in the Turco. Greek confilct will necessitate the intervention at the Great Powers as mediators. It is expected that the result of such intervention will be to maka still mee secure be general peacs of Europe.
The German Peter aburger Zeitung expresses the view that the real significance of the Imperial visit is in the fact that France and Germany are, so to speak, present, though invisible, while Russia and Austria, in the persons of their rulers, extend hands-one to the ether, and exchange words and looks. Thus the force on the side of peace is so great and no restoring that even the malicious and sinister designs of one Power, which does not belong to the Alliance system of Europe, cannot diarosh our satisfaction,
The Novoye. Vremya says :--All newspapers, Ministerial and Opposition, of Vicuns and Budapesth recognize w th remarkable unaalmly that in the present circumstances the mos Interested Powers in the East are Russia and Austria Hongary, and that the presence of the Austrian Emperor in St. Petersburg, and the warm reception accorded to him, are signs of the harmony-existing between the two Staten, The Acknowledgment of the fact by the Austrian and the Hungarian press is matter for rejeleleg The moment is.very propitious, as the defeat of the Greeks has proved that the losture of war in on the side of Terkey, and that the inter- wention of the Fowers is uns voldable. Such faterreation can only be useful provided that no Power atempts to exercis Its individual Influence. It very possible that Greece will turn to Great Britain, and that the latter may try to convert this to her owa' purposes. The best way to prevent such a contingency lies in the close agreement between Russia and Austria Hungaria. By this means the unanimity of all the Continental Fewers will be guaranteed, while an insuperable obstacle will be placed in way of the plans of England, and at the the Bame time the war between Greece and Tusker
will be localized.
The St. Petersburg Viidsmosis, the organ of Prince Uchtowsky, observes: ~The vinir, of the Emperor of Austria is mainly an act of courtesy, bat at the present moment fi is geod, for it ledl- cates a disposition to localise the area of the calamily and to give peace to the Balkan Penta sula, Russia desires nothing for herself. She enly aims at the strengthening of the pesce, and willing to do anything which will restrain malevolent aspirations. We hope the present wiat will bring about an essential result-the establishment of the principle, "Inecessartis sekitar." The rest will come of itself,
Vina, April 28th. The official Wiener Abindfort to-day, refer sing to the cordial reception accorded to the Emperor Francis Joseph in St. Petersburg, says:The sentiments of the rulers found lofty expression in their heartfelt words, whose peace commanding tones are calculated to awaken Joyfol echa not only in Austria-Hungary, but in all civilised caucas,"

Continuing his report on a tone through the Careitaes, Mr. Christian writes: The morning breaks clear and side, and soon after breakfast the three of us set out. eighteen-fach knives in hand, with a three-fost tule, and other necessary adjuncts. We pass along the road facing the passing on our right band the remains of harbour towards Capt.

A good deal af brushwood has to be and studying the construction as carefully a cleared away from time to time, but fortunately these rulas prove decidedly easier of access than those of Melsinoim with their tangled labyrinths of jungle. At first sight of the great mass, the masonry seems composed of rude blocks of black basalt of every shape, many enormous in bulk, all thickly overgrown with huge masice of ferns, weeds and creepers rooted in the interstices. In some pinces great
forest trees have sprung up, year by year increasing in bulk, and gradually, by the irresistible outward pressure of their ever-expanding rants, throwing the whole equilibriam of the gigantic masses off their centre of poles, breaking and loerenlog the cohesion and stability of the huge blocks, and threatening the diaption of the whole structure at some comparatively early date. Traditions of the origla and history al there constructions, are meagre and bare, but interest- lng as far as they go. There is a dim tradition of a conquering race of aliens from the North- west who seiled on Lale, forcing the folk of the malaland into vassalage, under whose directions the building materials were brought down on ralts and floats from South Harbour.

He said that it they were even to take the theory that some strangers sprinkled the keronine and commilied the crime, it was im possible that the prisoner had no knowledge of it or did not participate in or instigate it. There fate he should be found guilty of the charge brought against him and under these cir cumstances there could be no other verdict.
His Lordship then summed up. He said there could be no doubt that the premises were substantially set fire to. Regarding cirencatan. Hal evidence, bo said in some cases it was usual to give direct evidence and in other cases this could not be done and and the jury convicted

In this case as in all such it was necessary for the jury to be satisfied with what was before them. They must arrive at a clear conclusion and mast be satisfied that it was a correct one. As to the letter which was not admitted, and which would have prejudiced the prisoner, the jury must not think anything about it. His Lordship thes traverted the evidence carefully and at great length, paying especial attention to the matter of mot va and the re-instance.

In sentencing the prisoner, His Lordship said that he had been found guilty of what he had been charged with. He thought that nobody he had heard the svidence given in the court could doubt that the fury bad come to a wrong conclusion. The prisoner might have been used but even if this were so his wickadoors was not as a tool by his master or the accountant, lessened. He bad celiberately set fire to a bouse and cau ed the death of three persons and might have caured considerable loss of property but the sentence would have no relation to that.
