MARITIME INCIDENTS.

..

Of the maritime incidents the Ghares and the Rochester lared about the worst. The former felt the full force of the typhoon when, within twenty-five miles of the port. The steering gear with both the steamers, as not infrequently happens, broke down as the vessels were tossed about like cocklesbelts In the trough of the huge seas that rose moun tains high on occasions. The officers had a most noxious time of it, but gallantly brought their slips to port in safety and with com- paratively small damage, which was limited to the life-boats and deck fittings.

CHINESE IN SIAM.

Of all places in the world it is difficult to understand how Slam could justify a policy of Chinese exclusion; yet that is the theme upon which a correspondent of the Stam Observer dilates at considerable lengths in a recent issue of that journal. The writer begins by remarking, that; "Thousands of Chinese coolies are freely allowed to pene Irate into Bangkok every month, and it seems as if the Kingdom of Siam has be come a Chinese colony to which the whole emigration of the Celestial empire is direct- ed." Such a sentence · might have been written by a patriotic Siamese, who has “acquired remarkably fluent usp of English,
