on him.
The 2nd prisoner said he was in Gough Street; he heard a noise and saw some foreigners chasing some one he did not know. He kicked against something, and found it to be a pocket-book. He picked it up. A man named Moo Lum Chai told him that he must go away or else he would be arrested. Ho then went away with him, as also the 3rd prisoner and walked to the back of the Man Mo Temple, where he oponed the pocket book and found it contained bank notes. Moo Lam Chal wanted to take it away, but he refused to give it up to him. He then snatched a noto and ran away. The 3rd prisoner thon said to him you have so many notes, give mo some." Prisoner gave him one $5 note and five $1 notes.
The 3rd prisoner gave a similar statement as the 2nd.
Evidenos was then taken as to the 1st prisoner having been in Gaol before. On que occasion when he was admitted to gaol, ho was found to have large open wounds on his back, and he asid he had been in Maco gaol and was flogged, and that those were the marks. Be all bore scars of that flogging now. He had been in Gaol several times and was one of the men to whom a free pardon was granted by Sir Arthur Kennedy before he left.

Troops and coolies are constantly arriving from Kobe. The news published by the native papers, and reprodused by us, to the effect that the inhabitants of Kagoshima are re- turning to their deserted homes is confirmed, numbers of them with furniture and effects having come over from Sakura Shima, in which island they had taken refuge while the war was at their doors,
The published accounts of imperial sua- casses are also confirmed. The insargents seem to hold a strip of country batween Nobeoka, North, to Miyako-no-jo, South, a position in which, if the approaches are well watched to the westward, they will find a difficulty in procuring supplies, whether of food or ammunition.

A CORRESPONDENT'S YUW,
There is said to be a reign of terror at Constantinople. Great crowds of desperate and lawless soldiery fill the public places: bands of Circassians and Zebeke range at will about the city, robbing and murdering with impunity. The streets are given up to these outlaws after nightfall, and all the public resorts and respectable cafés are closed at sundown. An open rebellion, resulting in the massacre of every foreigner and Christian, is liable to occur.
Many Mussulmans, with their wives and children, fleeing before the Russians, have been killed in a defile between Turnova and Kezanlik.
The German General, Blum, who is in the employment of the Turkish Government at Constantinople, and the English Colonel, Hume, of the Turkish Engineur Department, have settled upon a plan for defending the Turkish Capital, in the event of a participa- tion by the British Government. The idea is not that the English forces should take possession of Constantinople, but that they should occupy Gallipoli and the neck of land of the Dardanelles against the Russians. known as Bolari, thus shutting up the Straits
