The Shanghai Courier understands that the new Glen steamer Glenegle, will leave London on the 28th of this month, and will be the first steamer despatched home with tea. The Gleangle will be commanded by Captain Gulland, late of the Gleuree, which vessel has been the favourite

we can hear from those who should know, the Glenogle will, sustain the superiority of the company with regard to tea-ships. The Stirling Casile, which is to supersede the Loudoun Castle, is now on her journey; and is put down as a fast boat; and as the idea is prepounded of sending one of the crack ships of the P. and O. Company up to Hankow, something startling may be expected in the way of speed during the next season.
We have long ago given up the Chind Mail as a hopeless case. It is not a very great disappointment; but still we cannot help feeding a tinge of regret at seeing this venerable and at one time highly respect able and much respected public organ gradually going from bad to worse. if ever a newspaper dragged out a miserable THE HONGKONG DIRECTORY and weary existence on the strength of its ancient reputation, that newspaper is our evening contemporary.
