SHIPWRECK OF THE "UMONA.”

MADRAS, 27th May.

[The news of Mr. R. M. Campbell's demise will be received with regret by the commer- cial community in Hongkong, by whom he was very well known. The deceased gentleman will be best remembered in connection with the great Benjamin share collapse in the early eighties in which the Shanghai branch of the Agra Bank had a leading part. When Mr. Lemarchand was manager of the Bank at Shangha the late Mr. Campbell was his coad- jutor in that financial institution. It earned some natatiety, as stated, in the collapse of native gentry to come forward with their money.ducing the new money and bas nol yet defined Hedley called for volunteers to go to Colombo the late Mr..

Viceroy is being partitioned to reduce the taka tion of the City so that wealthy merchants outside may venture back. He cannot well afford to do this with so many hungry officials round him. Ifis relative who recently had to leave the magistracy here after scraping up some Tis, ac in about six months and against whom there were so many charges, has now been acquitted and just promoted by being mad: preiect of Sheocho in this province, a post in which he will have every facility of bleeding several districts. Capt. Tsao, the late Chief of Police was, it is stated, enabled to retire South quite recently well enough off to refuse the supervision of the China Merchants accounts. He had run through something like Tis. 400,000 for police expenses in nine months. The T. P. G. with is large staff of highly paid foreigners only required some $740,000 for the whole year, and with more to pay. The pre- sent Chief of Police has been allowed only Tis..120,00 for the year, and the first thing he has done is to disband half the force so as to make sure of his own share of the spoil. Thus the Chinese return, and yet we were assured "everything was to go an just the same as the T. P.G" The foreign merchants bungered for the Chinese, return to restore trade-which they declared the T. P. G. was killing. Behold the restored trade! The foreigners left the city swept and garnished with money in the exchequer, five roads, and peaceful prosperity. bow, ruin, chaos, misery and dirt. In their hearts the foreign merchants note the contrast with some chagrin. No new contracts for pro- duce are being made. The outgoing cargo is all old contract stuff Things will get much worse yet it is to be feared. Of course as is always the case the Chinese are blaming the foreigner for it all. Anti-foreign placards have been up in the City, and hear the children, gather in the streets every night in crowds blowing toy trumpets which is one of the peculiarly Chinese methods of exciting a desire for or expectancy of war. It is a trifle, but it has its significance, and a continuance of drought, sickness and famine will lead to some rioting.

The Chinese are beginning to talk about the Court extravagance and the frequency with which the legations are entertained, which is another grievance the Chinese will lay to our charge ere long. They will say the legations force these entertainments for which the pro- vinces are bled.

The report of the Straits Settlements Cur rency Commission is now published and we presume we may expect development at any moment, remarks the Sarawak Gazette, We do not intend to discuss the plan proposed. but have the advantage of costing less than any method hitherto proposed. Whatever scheme may be finally adopted, it is certain that Sarawak must follow the Straits currency sooner or later. We should perfer sooner and do not doubt but that, should it be possible, Sarawak will follow the Straits from the commencement. Should this not be possible there will be very great inconvenience to Sarawak trade with Singapore, which will be as bad for Singapore traders as for Sarawak ones, and as this trade amounts to some $12,000,000 it is to be hoped that the change in currency may be made at the same time in both places.

PURCHASING ESTATES.

"Odd Man Out," whoever that individual may be, writes to the Shields Daily Gazelle, on 13th May as follows:

A SHIELDS NABOB.

Mr. James R. Twentyman, a native of South Shields, who went out to Shanghai a little over 20 years ago, has recently become the purchaser, I hear, of an extensive and valuable estate in the North Riding of York- shire. He and his wife and family are on a visit to this country, and are staying at present at Bournemouth. The property which has just come into their possession is the well-known Kirby Misperton estate, situated about 20 miles north-west of Scarborough. It comprises an area of 1,734 acres, and is said to afford excel- lent shooting and fishing, and capital hunting with three packs of hounds. The family man

stately and massive stone building, surrounded by pleasure grounds, with an ornamentai lake in their midst, and fine undulating park lands beyond. There are two picturesque lodges, and stabling for eight horses. The estate embraces, besides, the pretty village of Kirby Mispertos, and eleven farms and homesteads, all of which are freehold, yielding an annual- rental of £2,200. Mrs. Twentynian and her children will, I understand, take up their resid- ence at Kirby Misperion, but Mr. Twentyman will, for the present, return to Shanghai,

Though hunger and overpowering temptation for loot may be reason enough for their refusing help. It is comforting to know, however, that the pas sengers of the Umona are well able to look after themselves for of 450 coolies on board 300 are men and the small remainder women and children. Moreover, the steamer is exce. edingly well provisioned and the islands are reported to have a plentiful supply of fresh water so that in any eventuality the shipwrecked passengers can hold out for some considerable time.

H.M.S. Pique has started for the islands to assist, and the B.I. s.s. Amara has gone to the scene where the Umona is held fast on a coral reef. The passengers and five hundred. coalies have been safely landed on an atoli.
