NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Latest Bunder. Shanghai has won a by no means enviable reputation for its bunders and the latest, which our London.correspondent mentions, is, perhaps, one of the finest samples we have seen for a long time. Shanghai has informed London that we are to exchange Wei-hai-wei with Germany for some con cession on the Yangtaze! Did anyone ever hear such a beautiful bunder? So far as we know, Germany has nothing more to concede on the Yangtsze than we have, and every old China hand well knows that we possess nothing there, for the omission of the little world" other" rendered our much talked about Yangtze Agreement sợ much waste paper. Besides, it is not likely that we should be troubling about turning Wei-
was the slightest prospect of its being handed to Germany, which we most certainly believe there is not. Doubtless Germany would like to have Wei-hal-wei, and so would France, and Russia, and China, and Japan, or, in fact, any other Power one liket to name, but one might just as well talk of ex changing Hongkong for the moon as giving away the northern Colony for something which does not exist..
THE ENGLISH MAIL of the 3rd ulto. was delivered in London on the 2nd inst. ASLIGHT COLLISION took place yesterday between a launch and a cargo boat. The boat was damaged to the extent of $50.
IT WILL BE SEEN by reference to our ad venising columns that a vancancy exists for a clerk with a knowledge of German and English.
THE GOVERMENT Public Bath House close to No, z Police Station was accidently set fire to and quickly burnt to the ground. The damage done is estimated at $75.
THE WHOLE of the day has been taken up by the arguments of counsel in the Leung Kun Yau versus the Captain Superintendent of Police case. Claim for 100. Judgment is reserved.

So The appalling ignorance of the folks at far as we remember, Cape Colony has been home with respect to China and all ques nearly clear of the enemy for several months tious relating thereto was well illustrated by Mr. ASQUITH in his speech at the opening past. What we want to hear is that the clean of the China Exhibition in London the up has been quite accomplished. Nearly, other day. According to our London Cor says the proverb, is only half-way. respondent Mr. ASQUITH said that "China IT REALLY LOOKS, at the time of writing, as. had for some months past, been a country though a Volunteer Concert was at last to come of absorbing interest."
