The fact that they do cany cannon, that they do go anned, that they are constantly in fear of attack by pirates is proof of their knowledge that little or no protection: is to be looked for from the officials, be they Lekin tax-gathers, district magistrates, high and mighty Prefects or gunboat skippers.

MACAO NOTES.

(From Our Ow: Correspondent,)

Macao, 18th November. THE PAK-COP-PIU LOTTERY Monopoly was put up to public anction to- day and was let to a Chinaman, or rather a

bloodthirsty outlaws and in so doing render a great service to the Chinese mercantile classes and to the commerce of all nations? These villains are not only a danger to society in Chinese waters; they occasionally, as we all krow full welf, organise raids on British teamers sailing from Hongkong. The shock. ing Spark, Greyhow and. Namos tragedies are still fresh in everyone's memory, and yet we permit the existence of a breeding ground of pirates and brigands a few miles beyond our

baiders. The reports of piratical-ou ragės in the Delta and on the West-River are not a

GENERAL MESNEY'S TESTIMONY, In conclusion, it may be as well for me to quote an authority on this subject and for that purpose I select General Mesney, the Editor Lihat instructive and interesting work str'ed fesney's Chinese Miscellany. General Mes ney pissed many months in the year 1883 in the provines of Kwangtung, and Kwangsi and being a close observer and Food Chinese scholar bad exceptional opponunities and means of arriving at a proper estimate of the commercial possibilities and social status of the provinces. In the course of his remarks on Kwangsi the veteran general and får seeing traveller says:"Travelling in Kwangsi is attended with consider ble danger, and the loss of merchandise and private effects is very

common: - Piracy is rife on the rivers Every safe. The daring depredations of large bands of armed men afloat and ashore keep the more peacefully dispo ed people in state of con

They therefore. permit it to grow and flourish amazingly, and, f 1 nm correctly informed, as I believe I am, any officials pay" peace money to the chiefs-that is, they give them money to scoure themselves and familles from attack and quietude in their respective jurisdictions--while others who are in a position to molest but not exterminate gangs receive bribes from the des- peradoes from time to time to s"cure immunity from attacks, There can be no doubt that sune officials are not above compounding with them after punishing the inmates, of some of the numerous hornets' nests in the Delta and Liber waterways. The whole system of piracy is well understood by the officials, who, judging by the facts, regard it as an industry an undesirable one no doubt, but nevertheless. an Chinese syndicate, for the sum of $ 15,202 industry that flourishes in the Southern pohody who can afford it is armed and nobody is The old nonopoly expires this year and is vintes and is profitable to those who engage warelt only $74,900; the local Government in it, aml can be made a source of revenue for therefore benefits to the extent of $70.300 by the military mandarins If some of the officials the new farm.
