INSURANCE TARIFFS, To the Editor of the "China Mazz.”
China, Oct. 3, 1878. S-Wa would ask you to obtain for us one little convenience which we do not at presont posses, viz., regular printed insu rance tariffs, When we want to estimate the laying down cost of any merchandise to another port we have to send to one of the offices to find out what the rate is, and the same thing cocurs when we make up an invoice to Auy new port, the rate to which we are not acquainted with by constant practice.

It is, we believe, a fact that the Chinese authorities have not up to the present date, made a single arrest on account of the Wu abih-aban riot and incendiariam. The latter crime is, we are informed, a ospital offence ander Chinese law; it is certainly viewed universally as a grave crime against society, while it is everywhere punished with severity. The failure of the Chinese authorities to put the law in force in this instance is simply scandalous, and their misconduct should be made generally known. The incendiary Ling is, we are informed, still at large-living in the Tow Shan Kwan Temple-adjoining the Church Mission premises at Wu-shih-ahan; be A nephew of Osman Pasha's has been for Why should the offices not lasne tariffs to makes no attempt at concealment, and his several months residing at the Constabulary the insuring public as well as to their vari-party openly boast that they intend to Depot in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, learn ous agents "It would be a convenience to drive every foreigner out of the city, and Ing the organisation, drill, and duties of the all, and it would not only save trouble, but that the mandarins caunot, or will not, Royal Irish Constabulary, with a view to would insure greater correctness.
