There can be little doubt but that this intimate acquaintance with the Chinese; their prejudices and manners and customs, has influenced the Colonial Office în appointing Mr. LOCKHART to the important post of the Commissionership of Wei-hai-wei. It will be under his administration that the new colony will make its first entry into the ranks of the Crown Colonies, and we have little doubt but that it will go ahead and prosper. There are bound to be matters to settle. be, tween the Chinese and the Government at the outset, and Mr. LOCKHART is the right nian to see that they are properly adjusted to the satisfaction of all parties.

LONDON, April arst.

The Pretoria correspondent of the Stand ard says there is reason to believe that a tentative agreement between Lord Kitchener and the Boer delegates affording the basis for peace has been reached.
