Large fish tossed out of the water by the jerky, irrogular motion of fierce, cross seas and land birds flying about by the hundred in evideat distress, some of them so exhausted that they alighted on the ship and were caught such is the picture presented by Captain Somerville of the Tean in narrating the strange experiences of that vessel during a terrible typhoon which he encountered on his way down here on his last trip, says the Mant la Times of 3rd inst.
The Team fortunately escaped the full fury of the typhoon during a large part of the time, it was saging, through being in the charmed circle of the centre where, as is generally knowa, almost a dead calm usually prevails, It was in this charmed circle that the strange spectacle alorementioned was witnessed.

"At four o'clock Friday afternoon we were abviously nearing the centre of the storm as the wind suddenly fell light and the sea went down. There were also many other indications of our being at the centro as the sky cleared overhea and the sun shone out; very heavy misty clouds were visible towards the horizon; the sea was curiously lampy and we observed many fish, some of them about three feet in length, being as it were tossed out of water by the little pyramids of sea caused by choppy, cross motion.

"At 6 p.m. the wind gave evidence of shitt ing to the south and so I decided to run out from the centre of the storm and issued orders to drive to the eastward as far as possible. It was obvious that the storm was passing a short distance to the south. The wind started again about 7 pm, E. S. E. at midnight it was blowing from the S.

The ship behaved splendidly, however, and almost marvellously we escaped without damage. I should also like to say that contrary to some of my experiences the passengers behaved grandly. They were kind enough to praise the sea-going qualities of the ship and they had a good word for me but were called to as much not more cicdit for the heroic and calin manner in which they took the experience.

SENSATIONAL ROBBERY IN
SHANGHAI. ·
NATIVE JEWELLER CHLOKOTORMBE
From the Shanghat Times of 5th inst., we gather detads of the sensational jewellery rob bery by European desperadoes in Shanghai reported in our telegram columns Ipst week: About 3 p.m. yesterday a most sensational came was committed in a native jeweller's establishment in Yunnan Road near the Race Course. At the hour mentioned two British. 'subjects named E. C. Eilesby and. G. Rosset entered the shop, and after inspecting a large quantity of gold and jewelled ornaments one of them suddenly emptied a phial of chloro- form on to a handkerchief and threw it over the face of the only occupant of the shop, who for the time being was overpowered by the anesthetic. While he was in this condition, the foreigners helped themselves to the jewels which they bad been examining, and carried about $20,000 worth into a carriage which they aad waiting outside thedoorol the shop. In this they drove to a steam-launch which was wait- ing at the French mail jetty. Here they had some delay in getting up steam, and as the jeweller had in the meantime recovered con sciousness, he had the Police no the track of the fugitives before they were able to get away, Inspector McDowell, Detective Sergeant Book. less and Sergeant Johnstop succeeded in arzesting the fugitives on the French mail jetty just as the launch was about to push of: Rosser tried to jump into the river but was prevented in time by Inspector McDowell. The jewellery was all recovered on the persons of the prisoners, who were promptly lodged in the Hongkew Station. They will be formally charged at the Police Court this morning.
IMPORTANT
CORCESSION BY THE VICEROY,
from Our Own Correspondeut.)
Canton, 65 Octubei. Formerly the Canton mint produced) $ 0.009 tels in to-cent pieces daily, but since March Jast the output has been reduced to $10,000 taels per diem. The Brusts Consul General
at Canton and the Acting Chief Manager of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank have had an interview with the Tactal for Foreign Affairs at Canton with the object of stil forber reducing the output from the mint. It was stated, that the large number of coins issued every day had the effect of depreciating the value of subsidiary coinage. An appeal had been addressed to the Board of Foreign Affairs, in Peking, on the subject. The Taotai at the mint expressed the opinion that should Canion cease to produce subsidiary coins, Hongkong money would flood Canton to the benefit of the Hongkong Government and the loss of Canion "Viceroy Shum has, however, agreed that from the end of the present mondi the mint will only issue 3,000 aels in 10-cem pieces per day.
AN IMPERIAL ORDER.
A Peking despatch to Canton states that the Imperial Government has issued instructions that students who have been eucated in foreign seminaries, that is to say in schouls or colleges owned and conductes by foreign teachers, ae ant to be received into the service of the Chinese Government in future. The Imperial service will henceforth be recruited by students from Chinese Schools.

In view of the fiercenes of the first typhoon everyone on the ship, and. the passengers in particular, were rather un- easy, but the ship was made snug aloft and all unnecessary hamper and running rigging was stowed away.. The weather, however, was most serene till 9 o'clock on Sunday moming, when the Devanka had put Hongkong 250 miles behind her, and at this hour the glass began to fail rapidly and a gale accompanied by a high sea sprang up. As the Devanho was steaming right foto the teeth of the storm the seas began to break over her, the wind roaring by and whistling through the rigging whilst the steamer was rolling and pitching like a cork.

Martin took a two and a single and then opened out to Hancock and skied him between nidon and square leg, but the fielder could not get to the ball in tine. The next ball, how ever, Martin reached out forward to and was caught and bowled by Hancock when he had scored 32. Martin had batted for an hour and his 32 included twn 4's and three 3's and was made without a chance.
When was next in and ulayed out the over. Weippert hit the third ball of Bird's next over beautifully to deep leg where untonunately Photips was waiting and safely held the ball. The innings closed for a of which 78 were put on by Weippert and Martin, Weippert played once again one of those patient but free innings which he seems to keep in stock as it were, for Interport games, and his innings was without a chance and included four 4's and two 3's. Martin rose to the occasion splendidly again; a chances being given. He played sound cricket and made a mest successful debut in Interport cricket. ·
THE DINNER.
The Hongkong men accorded the toast musical honours.
FATHER VICTAL,
We take the following from the Singapore 5.482,510 Free Press of est inst. Yesterday morning OTHER EXPENDITURE,,

The address was read by Mr. J. J. Pereira, and was couched in highly eulogistic terms of Father Victal's services Vicar of the Church, as Director of the St. Anthony's Boys' School and since the establishment of the society for the relief of the poor in the congregation, for the great interest he has always taken in it. Fulber Victal's reply was very felicitous and to the point. He thanked the congregation for their kind address, for their appreciation of his ten years' service in their midst, and he concluded by assuring them that although he will be absent from them in 1ody he will always re memberibem in his daily eayers. The chalice which was to have been resented along with the address, but has mus yet.. arrived from America, Father Victal has presented to the new. Church of St. Joseph,.
The address reads-

lie preceding period. In the expenditure for caigo, passengers; and ships an increase of preceding teim; but this increase is more than 1700 cuo is noticeable,, compared with the compensated for by the decrease of Y950,000 in the cost of repairs, insurance, depreciation fund, etc. Moreover, an increased revenue of somme Y8·0,000 was chlained by the sale of articles rendered useless as the result of the cessation of the war. For these reasons, the company cleared the net profit of Y2,224,000,
At the end of March last the various reserve funds of the company totalled Y46,241,000 and the total tonnage of steamers amounted le 253,935, valued at Y24, 1.000, or Y94.64 per ton. Considering the fur that the cost of con struction ordinarily is about Yago per ton the valuation of the company's ships which is put at fess that Yes should be regarded as a very low estimate.
That the receipts of the company will be materially reduced during the half year ending Sept. 3011, 1606, seems almost certain as wil be seen from the following table:-- ANALYSIS OF RECEIPTS Mileage
