In England where it frequently happens that both parties to the wedding contract are endowed with a sufficiency of this world's goods the habit of sending nick-nacks can be understood, but even in England, the useful cheque is appreciated, for even Mr. Chamberlain followed the more satisfactory plan of presenting his son with a cheque on the occasion of the latter's recent wedding. This is a commercial age when the majority of persons may be supposed to know what they want a great deal better than their neighbours.

The excursion steamer. Kwongchow, while returning from Macao yesterday forenoon, struck the south-west point of Lantao Island and was jammed on the rocks for nearly an hour. The damage uone to the Kwongchow, according to her agents, was rather serious, a few plates being torn open and several others denied by the effect of the hock. There were on board the excursion boat at the time over 27 › passengers returning from Macao and the force of the impact, it is reported, pitched seve ral passengers out of their chairs, but, there was no panic among them.
The Kwongchino, the commander of which is Capinin Meade, left the wharf at Macan at le o'clock yesterday morning bound for this part. At eleven a'clock the vessel passed her sister ship, the Kwongtung, which was bound for Macao. Shortly before nonn Captain Meade left the bridge in charge of the second Chinese pilot and went below latifin. Everything was going on smoothly on beard when all of a sud. den there was a crash, followed by the sound of plates being ripped and torn, and those in the saloon realised that an accident had happened.
