Some time ago we had occasion to remark upon tho progress that Literatura de repre sented by the Prosa bad made and was making in the Beat, and our attention has again been called to the subject by the re ceipt of a Hongkong publication which deserves some untice and which we have much pleasure in introducing to the know- and Queries on China and Japan, published ledge of our readers. We allude to Notes monthly by Me Saint, the proprietor of the Chino Mail newspaper. This publication is well printed on good paper, and in size and shape is very like its well-koows game- sake or prototype at home, and is equally a mine containing very curious and useful information regarding the language, litera- tid, history, maouers and customs of thự Chinese and in a less degree of the Japanese, It
asys a good deal for the extent and the stability of the footing of Europeans in China, that such a publication as this should be established and conducted with apparently successful vigour.

Simon, French Consul at Foochow. It will be remembered that that gentleman was the author of a very ill-judged and foolish despatch to Her Majesty's Consul, in which he pointed out that (although
there was no harm in Roman Catholics running down Protestantism to their converts) it was highly improper of Pro- testant missionaries to use such words as It is hureby notified for general informa-Anti-Christ" and the names of digni tion that henceforward, closed mails for the

his paper upon the pre-historio legends of Ching, and is as follows:
