A TRADE OPENING IN CHINA.

In his report for last year our Consul at Kiungchae gives the following list of articles not imported into that port, for the benefit of any enterprising manufacturer or trader who might care to try, the experiment of placing them on the Hainan market (gods which would fall under the head of "carrying pigs to Hoihow " are omitted)-Shirtings, white; figured, brocaded, and spotted "Tea-cloths, Indian; dritts, Indian ¡jeans, British; sheetings, British and Indian; twills. printed; cotton damasks; cotton vara, British; flannel; canvas; gunny cloth; inn,"shect, plate, pig, and kent- ledge; brass wire 'white metal or German silver; nickel; buttons, brass and fancy: colours machinery; matches, non-Japanese; match-making materials; morphia; sick and cotton ribbons; stores, household; and um. brellas, European,

In order to have the slightest chance of finding purchasers, all products brought for sale to Hainan must he cheap. The natives do not use nor understand, nor can they afford to purchase, elaborate pumping machinery, for instance, nor expensive steam ploughs, nor many other incour-saving appliances of more civilized countries. The importer can only reasonably hope to create a demand for Western-made substitutes for,"native"Fimple»' ments and other products by first stooping to the native level, making for Him things like his own, which he can understand and use, and then by gradual improvement raise him to some idea of the economy of labour-saving machinery..

BIG GALE IN ENGLAND.

NEARLY TYPHOON FORCE.

The whole of the United Kingdom was on 6th ulto. swept by a gale, which in places attained the force of a hurricane. The south-eastern counties, perhaps were more fiercely swept than other parts, and in the Channel the hurricane was one of the most sudden and violent experi enced for some years. Both by land and sea damage was done. In many places the wind attained a momentum of so miles an hour, while for a few minutes during the passage of a heavy squall over London early in the after- noon it approached the hurricane force of 60 miles an hour. The Channel steamers encoun. tered the full force of the hurricane. One of the most rapid falls of the barometer recorded. this year at Dover was followed about two o'clock by the sudden burst of the hurricane, which swept out sea-ward. There was a blinding sheet of rain, and the fury of the gale apparently increased as it passed over the sea. As though taken by surprise both street and parks yielded a ready harvest to the storm. Chimney pots, bricks, tiles, and branches of trees represented the wind's small-ar discharge, and strewed the roads and pathway. Greater damage, and unhappily in two instances fatal injury was wrought by trees crashing to the ground or hoardings thrown down in the hurly-burly,

BACON II

BACON

Ever since the days of The Mikado the Far THE Undersigned AGENTS of the above BACON!

East has been popular with writers of musical pieces, says a mail paper, bat, save that the gorgeous Chinese costumes are a prominent feature of the entertainment, there is no parti- cular reason why the scene of Mr. George Dance's Chinese Honeymoon, produced on th October at the Strand Theatre, should not have been laid in any other part of the globe. There is nothing distingively Chinese about the story, which is for the most part composed of well-worn material. The amiable Emperor unwillingly bound by absurd laws in inflict hideous punishment-upua-innocent-offenders, is, of course, a near relation of Mr. Cilbert's Mikado, while the lovely Princess who dis- guises herself as a singing girl in order to meet her English lover, and the whiskered and would-be comic Englishman, who comes with a pretty and jealous wife to spend his honey. moon in China, are old friends. Mr. George Dance has been, more than fortunate in secur- ing Miss Louie Freear for its central figure, a little waiting-maid in a Chinese hotel. Miss Freear is one of the few actresses with a real low comedy gift, and her genuine vein of cock- ney humour ensures the laughter being loud and long-while she is on the stage..

The destroyer Crane has returned to Ports- mouth, having met with a singular accident. She was on 8th inst..on her way to Portland with the Portsmouth destroyer flotilla, of which. aho is the commodore ship, when those in the engineroom observed that the deck beams were buckling amidships. The ship, was at once: turned and headed for Partsmouth, where she arrived safely. An examination yesterday re-t vealed the fact that the deck beams were bent amidships. and that the vessel was showing the, first indications of breaking in half at this point. It is believed that the injury was done during the last cruise of the flotilla in the North Sea, and it has developed gradually since then. Fortunately the vessel was in smooth water and! within reach of port when the buckling was observed. The accident to the Crane în regard-| ed as the more alarming because of its resem blance to the cause of the Cobra disaster, and because it gives striking evidence of the weakness of the destroyer class of ship, in which Weight and strength are sacrificed in order to obtain high speed. The Crane is, ons of the newest of the 30-kust boats,
