Under the auspicat of the Hongkong Tech- nical College, Mr. Stuart J Faller will com will mence a series of lectures on "The elements of economics. The syllabus indicates that the course of filicon lectures in all will be of a very comprehensive character and should serve every intelligent student as an admirable intros duction to the study of political economy in the widest sense. In fact, no intelligent young man going into commercial life can afford in be without a knowledge of the rudiments at teas of this science, and the subjects which the lecturer includes in the course are tminent ly calculated to induce the student to follow- the example of Oliver Twist and ask for more. As already stated, the first lecture will be given to-morrow evening, from 5.15 pm to 7p.m., and the series will be contioned on the suc ceeding Wednesdays. For the full course, a fer of only 52 will be charged, which is moder. ate enough in all conscience, and we trust there will be a full attendance of those who wish to bruth up their knowledge of this intricale.and, in many respects, fascinating subject..

MR. GLBMENTËS · ORIOM MEMORANDUM.
PERCENTAGE OF SMOKERS IN CHINA.
Mr E, W. Thwing writes in the Shanghai: fercury-The matise of the percentage of Opium users in China is one in which reports greatly differ. The Chinese claim perhaps too large a number for the Empire, while the English estimate given is certainly too small.
Mr. C. Clementi's article on the subject bas bean read with much intersit, but some import ant elements of the question seem to bave been overlooked. Official figures and reports may sometimes be very misleading, and do not always agret.
Mr. Clementi'gives the estimate of China's opium production for aço as about six times the amount imported from abroad., Another Brjush official, who has resided in China förmady years, estimates native opium aseleven times the amount of the imported article, If that be so it would almost double Mr. Clementi's estimate
of
2% as the smokers for China. Sir R. Hart, in the official Yellow Book, (Fcking 29th.Jan. 128) said: "In round numbers, the annual importations of foreign opium may be said to amount to 100,000 cbeste, or, allowing 100 caties to each chest, 10,900,0ùa catties (the carty is the Chiocus pound one catty is equal to one pound and a third avoirdupois)."
Sir R. Bact said agaio, a month or two ago, That"in 1864-the-oplum-imported-was valued' at over thirty million taels, and represented about 46 per cent, of the import trade; il dow represents only about 7 per cent fact which shows rather how geberat trade bas grown that

"SHIPPING AND MAILS
Sigling is another unknown quantity which enters into the problem,
The use of the "Opium Ash," which has a more evil effect, and is taken to smaller quanti tios, supplies many thousands of the poorer people. This "Opium Ash," is a by-product after sp.oking and so does nor enter into Cust: m house reports,
Yet the very large number of "Opium Ash devils," as the Chinese call these poor sots, will increase the percentage of those who use opisim. Again the amount used is open to de- bate. An average of Tiro, per diem may be correct for the foreign ports, where many are wealthy and use more, yet a very great number of poor people, in the interior, who use a much smaller amount, are much injured, and im poverished by the habit Mapy women, and aver childres, use very small amounts of opium with bad effect. I have known of a woman blowing the fumes of the opium pipe into her child's face to stop its crying, thus creating the habit..

After presenting the case to the jury, the Attorney-General returned to the question, and asked his Lordship' ie what respect had he mis-stated the point of law."
The Chief Justice-The law does not ab solutely state that the burden of proof was on the prisoner-it was for the Crown to prove the robbery and the prisoner to show how be came into the possession of the stolen property...
The Attorney-General's reply was not caught, and he proceeded to state the case. He said that about one o'clock on the morning in question a bouse at Ngau Tau Kck in which lived several families was plundered by a gang of masked robbari The prosecu- tion was not in a position to identify any of the robbers. On the same day of the robbery the prisoner was arrested with some of the stolen goods in bis possession, When charged, the prisoner took the pafice to a sbed at Lyes- moon where the balance of the property was recovered. A woman in the shed told the police that, the propsity was brought there by the prisoner that day,Io abwer to this the prisoner said that the clothing was given bim by a man to carry.
