There can be no doubt difficult'sessions since the heat of the Home that ministers will have to face one of the most. Rule struggles in 1885. The Education Bill is responsible for the rumpus, with the Irish question chiming in whenever the combat- ints on the educational matter pause to get breath. The application of the 'Crimes Act to Dublin and other towns has roused angry whoops from across t. George's Channel and the vacation has been enlivened by the prosecu- tion of many an M.P., who on the platforms of the En erald Isle invited the minions of Dublin Castle to tread on the tail o' me coat." But

We reviewed recently that portion of the annual statement of the trade and navigation of the Benibay Presidency which referred to oports. The details of the export trade do not present the same variety of interest; but they are pleasant reading, because they mark a gratifying recovery from the extremely low figures of the previous years. Exports from Western India naturally group themselves under two heads-exports of foreign merchan dise and exports of indegenous products. With regard to the former, the 'figures show that Bombay is steadily ceasing to occupy that commanding position as a port of collection of produce and distribution of foreign merchandise far the East Coast of Africa and Western Asia which stie formerly held. The establishment of direct communication by sea between Europe and those countries contributed largely to this result, but we are told that the inevitable

Wheat, for instance, dropped to the insignificant total of 4 lakhs, not through; any deficiency in the harvest, but owing to the high prices prevailing locally, which made it more profitable to keep the grain in the country.

MMUNITION FOR THE RERELS.

ANOTHER MASS MEETING.

The Shi Man Ink Tong held a large mass meeting last Sunday to discuss reform. The meeting was thrown open to those present for free discussion. The opportunity to air views was fully taken advantage of and a lively time followed. The chairman was not equal to the occasion and the result was that several per- sons were shouting for a hearing at one time. So hot did some of the speakers become that at times it looked as if a free fight would occur. As I remarked some time ago this kind of gathering should do good. The Chinese will take kindly to such meetings and the officials shi uld be wise enough to keep their hands off.
