TRADE IN THE CHINA SEAS.

The following letter, posted at Lloyd's having► re-
ference to the facilities afforded by the port of
Moarro, situated on the mainland. of Boineo, one
of the stations of the Eastern Archipelago Com-
pany, is of interest to shipowners and masters of
trading in the Chinese seas :
"TO WILLIAM CONTHAUD, ESQ., ACTING SUPERINTEN-

DENT EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO COMPANY. --
" 11,,rt Raffles, Labuan, Match 12, 1857.
"Sir,—The facilities for enteling and loading at Mo-
arro, on the mainland of Borneo, ❑ot being generally
known, I beg to state, for the interest of whom it may
concern, that I consider it a safe and most convenient
harbour, and that the British barque Alliance, un ler
my command, loaded two cargoes of coal in succes-i.in at
that place. My ves,el drew 17 feet, and came over the
bar with the greatest ease, and could have done so had
she drawn 18 or 19 feet.

"Tne bar extends only two cables length, and has a
soft muddy bottom. A fall ship taking the bar for a
tide could not do her,elf any po-sible injury. The har-
bour is quite laud-locked, so that the water is always
smooth. The facilities are complete for loading ship,,
the coal being tipped through a shoot at the end of the
jetty into the hold. Depth of water at the end of jttv
4:3 fathoms.

"I am, sir, your most obedient servant,
(Signed) " Wm. MASON,
Commander of the barque Allianc3."

ALLEGED CRTJELTY.—At the Surrey sessions on rues-
day, Mr. Theo. Dupuis was chargel with ex-rcising
undue severity towards George James Mule, 12 years

the back, loins, and thighs with a cane. The trial lasted
a considerable time. A verdict of not gulty was re-
turned.

this society took place at the Star Hetel, Maidstone, on
Monday. One of the moot recent parcha-es of the

the society. Viscount Ingestre, M. P., Rev. D. Worth-
ington, R. Winstanley, E-q., C. E. Lewis, E.q., and
