We are Informed that the Viceroy Lau has directed certain notices to be put up in the neighbourhood of the district ravaged by the tornado at Danton. One of these notices, affixed to the Shamlen bridge, offers a reward of one dollar for each corpse recovered from the debris of the houses or the waters of the river and creek,
Au absurd illustrated placard is being -handed round the city to the effect that the tornado was caused by foreigners having shot at the tail of tho "bob-tailed" dragon,
We have seen proofs of a set of eight pho- tographs taken by Mr Along, the enter prising native artist of this place, of the scenes at Canton after the Tornado. A couple of views are devoted to the foreign settlement, a couple to the crack, and the remaining half to the native city. Two of the latter are exceedingly well chosen, and give a very artistic and comprehensive idea of the terrible effects of the Tornado, Some of these views have, we believe, been sont to the illustrated papers in London for the information of the folks at home.

A murder was committed on the 11th April. A man named Esteban Briones, who appeared to have some relation with a woman, found another man in the house of his mistress, and without any other cavee he commenced an attack with a knife on the stranger, who after being mortally wounded ran to the street and fell dead some distance from the house. The woman also received some wennds during the struggle, which necessitated her being re moved to the Hospital San Juan de Dion to get her wounds dressed. The murderer gave himself up while an enquiry was being held regarding the murder.

He added that by this new treaty both European and Asiatic Turkey were made subordinate to Russia, the British Empire was imperilled, and England's Road to Asia might be. olosed. The Governinent, he said, had resolved that as a measure of precaution the Baseves should furnish 70,000 men, but if England engaged in a great war the forces would be largely increased, immense revolution had been effected and the Liberty of Europe was imperilled, but the British Empire must be maintained!
