The new screw steamship Clio, 21 guns and 400
horse power (nominal), left Sheerness yesterday on
a trial trip of her machinery.
The screw steamship Amphion, now at Sheerness,
has been sent out on a trial trip, during which,

from the defective state of her aternpost and after
body, the leaks were so bad that the after bread-
room had to be cleared to prevent her bread stores
being damaged by salt water. Previously to
her leaving the harbour her mainmast was
being stayed up, when the purchase fall was belayed
to one of the bulk-head timbers. A serious acci-
dent was nearly occurring by the bulk-head timber
breaking off short. It was then found that the
timber and all the frame by which the fore rigging
was secured were perfectly decayed by dry rot.
Great discontent is manifested by her crew, who

say they are to be sent to sea in their coffin, and
they only want a chance to get the " It" put against
their names. They like their captain and officers,
but they will not go to sea in a leaky ship.
The Queen, screw steamship, 86 guns, of 500-
horse power (nominal), left Sheerness on the 6th
inst. on the contractor's trial of her engines. Her
draught Of water was 22 feet forward, and 23 feet
7 inches aft; the mean revolutions were 64; mean
speed, 10 knots six-tenths. Wind S.S.W., in force
6, with a disturbed sea. The vacuum was 25 inches,
pressure of steam per square inch 201 b., which was
well maintained. Her engines were made by
Maudslay, Sons, and Field, and worked without a
fault.
The Russian frigate General-Admiral, Captain
Schestakoff, having on board his Imperial Highness
the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia and his
suite, left the Motherbank yesterday at 7 a.m. under
steam for Cronstadt. His Imperial Highness em-
barked on board the General-Admiral from the
Pier Hotel, Ryde, the previous evening.
James Dunn, stoker of the screw steam-sloop
Pioneer, who was severely scalded when the steam
pipe burst on board, in Plymouth Sound, on the
30th ult., died at the Royal Naval Hospital on
Sunday. At the inquest on Tuesday the verdict
returned was—" That the deceased came by his
death from injuries received during the late explo-
sion on board the Pioneer." Full particulars of
this accident we published on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.
For some time past frequent complaints have been
made to the authorities connected with the convict
establishment at Chatham of the practice in the
dockyard, where several hundred convicts are daily'
employed, of the workmen supplying the convicts
with articles of a forbidden nature, in defiance of the
rules against such a practice. ,Notwithstanding the
most strenuous efforts have been resorted to to de-
tect the guilty parties, the secrecy with which the
system has been carried on has hitherto baffled all
these efforts. Yesterday morning, however, shortly
after the men had entered the dockyard for their
daily work, a labourer, named George Johnson, was
detected by a warder in the very act of giving some
tobacco to a man named William. Lemon Oliver,
who, it will be remembered, was formerly a stock-
broker in the city of London, but was tried and
sentenced to 20 years' penal servitude for forgery and
misappropriation of certain shares. Johnson, who
has for along time been suspected, was immediately
taken before the magistrates at Rochester, when,
the charge having been fully proved against him,
he was fined the sum of £3, and in default one
month's imprisonment ; in addition to which he
loses his situation in the dockyard, which he has
held for several years.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—J. W. F. Harvey, midship-
man, to the Edgar ; C. N. Hoare, midshipman, to
the Trafalgar; B. G. De Landre, acting assistant-
surgeon, to the Diadem ; Dr. D. A. Money, assis-
tant-surgeon, to the Victory; and James M'lnnes,
assistant-surgeon, to the Impregnable.

We (the Mount Alexander Mail) have been fa-
voured with a copy of the following letter, addressed
by a Chinaman in this district to a friend of his
filling an official situation at Hong Kong. A Eu-
ropean to whom he communicated its contents,
struck with its character, procured a copy from the
writer, and with his consent handed it to us for
publication :
,‘ To Ho A Loy, Chinese Interpreter, Chief Ma-
gistracy, Hong Kong.
My dear take this opportunity of writ-
ing to you to let you know how I am doing here,
to which place I came in a British ship 14 months
ago, during which time I became well acquainted
with the difficulties the Chinese have to encounter
in this colony, and with the last act of injustice to-
wards them my heart was deeply chagrined.
Therefore I beg to inform you of these matters, that
you may make them known to our countrymen who
wish to seek for gold in this country. The law-
givers have enforced a tax on each on larding in
this port ; after this is paid and we land, then there
are other taxes to be imposed upon us, namely,
license, protection, and resident ticket.
" Now, is not this a cruel law to exact from our
poor and distressed countrymen, while foreigners
from every part of the world can come and not be
charged at all? We do not tax English people in
China, and why should the Chinese be the only
people whom the British Government tax and be-
have unjustly to ? Even those who come to Sydney,
which is a free port, and a great number of them by
their diligent feet travel overland to this place,
which is many hundred miles, are met on the bor-
ders:of this district, and £4 demanded to admit
them into the district, after which they must pay the
beforementioned taxes or be dragged off to prison.
How can these poor Chinamen pay this ? They are
not prepared to meet such a demand, and therefore
it comes upon them with a double rigour. The
abovementioned are only part of our difficulties ;
you see the lawmakers show but little kindness to-
wards us, unlike her Majesty Queen Victoria of
England, in her merciful kindness to the Chinamen ;
but, boasting of the authority placed in them by
her Majesty, degrade her laws by such iniquitous
acts, and render themselves odious and con-

temptible ; yet they think to gain praise
by such wickedness and enrich the colony : but God
is good everywhere and will not allow such injus-
tice to pass unpunished, but will visit such acts
with his displeasure. I have asked some intelligent
men why the tax is only imposed on the Chinese,
and not on the people of other nations. The answer
that I received was, that China is the thickest po-
pulated country in the world, and if the Chinese
were allowed to come freely here, this country
would form a Chinese empire, and they would
usurp the gold fields to themselves ; others, that we
do not bring our wives and families, and when we
get gold we leave here and seek for home and plea-
sures. All Europeans do not stay here, but make
fortunes and return to their home countries,' I re-
plied, and hope to answer such arguments with all
reasonableness. I said, As to our wives coming
here, that would only make greater the one evil
you complain of, by increasing the already large
number of Chinese in this place ; but one great law
of the Chinese nation is duty to parents, and our
greatest:sage and philosopher, Confucius, says, As
a son, be dutiful to your parents; as a brother, be
brotherly to elder brothers ; and as a minister, be
faithful to your prince.' Now, should we keep such
laws and maxims if we neglect to return to our pa-
rents who sorrowfully part from us, and did we not
leave our wives to comfort them and serve them
while we seek to find in a rich laud the means to
make their closing years happy ? Would this be
right or filial duty, to forget those who are in
many cases suffering from want that they might p
give us the means to come here .
" Again, it is said our Chinese are an ignorant
immoral set of heathens, and will contaminate the
Europeans who are located here ; but is not such a
charge unjust and untrue ? Who sees the Chinese
drink, or what crime does he act that Europeans do
not as bad? Drunkenness is everywhere about the
land, and causes men and women to be degraded
below the vile animals ; and if they were treated as
others, and employed, being quick and submissive,
would they not be found good farm servants ? And
are they not skilled in gardening ? True, they are
a nation of heathens, but are they likely to believe
the Gospel when the Christian lawmakers and
magistrates, by their cruel laws and oppressive acts,
deny what the missionary teaches ? Jesus says,
Love your neighbour as yourself;' and do these
men obey the Great Maker and Saviour of the Chi-
nese as well as of all other nations in the world ?
You will not have forgotten the Rev. Mr.
Young, who was at Hongkong. He is most desirous
and anxious to do good with our people here, but
such cannot be, for they say no, what he preaches
is lies, will not help him to build a place for the
worship of God ; and I am told it is so on the gold
fields. One of my schoolmates, a missionary, says it
is a great difficulty to him, for he says they tell him
his religion is bad, and Christians are followers of
the devil, not God, so it is hard to do good to our
Chinese people. I, as you know, have held a Go-
vernment situation, and am a faithful adherent of
her Majesty, yet I grieve for the sorrows and diffi-
