obstacles in his way, he could let it alone, although he meant to pay his respects to the

THE Rangoon Gasetto of the 8th March gives some particulars of the disturbances at Renoung, Siamere town of about 15,000 inhabitants, principally Chinese, which is 6 miles up a river of the game naine, 200 miles north of Tongks and 10 miles or so sonth of the Malewoon tiu mines, in British Burmab, and forms part of the border territory of Siam, The Rajab in Chinese and le away in China, and his son was in charge of the Government. The cause of the emeute is said to have beon the same as that which gave rise to the disturb ances in Tongka, namely, the imposition of poll-tax of Rs, 2 or 3 on every Chinaman leaving for Pinang. The rioters, having burnt down several Government buildings and looted a junk belonging to the Rajah, then besieged him in his palace with his whole military force of 60 men and a few pieces of artillery. The palace was strongly fortified and approached by a broad straight road. When the rioter surged into this broad avenue, the Rajah's son had the gun loaded with large quantities of rifle bullets, trained upon them, and killed about 400 with one discharge. A Sismase man-of-war arrived shortly after from Jauk Coylon, and restored order. The Finang Gazette of the share scrip. 22nd March states that the Hoadmun from
