While the Firh-we was along side the Hulk yesterday afternoon at Chinking, the boats con taining His Excellency the Vicemy of Nanking, Tso Tsung-tang and suite, passed that port at 4 o'clock, the several house-boats being towed up to Nanking by a Chinese man-of-war.

culty between Russia and China is in respect to the overland trade, as regulated by the late treaty. PA The trade regulations attached to this treaty pro kibited the importation of opium by Russians per overland route, imo China, and a Chinese authority informs us that this anti-opium clause is one of the "bones of contention," for Russia wishes to have it deleted altogether.
We understand that a compact has been en tered into by the three leading shipping firms connected with the Vangtsze trade Messrs. Jar. dine, Matheson and Co., Messrs, Butterfield and Swire, and the China Merchants Company by which a rise in freights has been made. The result has been that some of the hoats come "flying light," and to crowd the small boats be longing to Mr. McBain which are reaping a great benefit, as was proved to-day on the arrival of the Corres de 1ries, which steamer came in
fall. The system of dividing polits has been carried out on the Ningpo line for some time past between two of the above-nanied firms, but whe ther it will succeed on the great river remains to be proved

The earrings were in the prisoner's mouth when Campbell overtook him.

The prisoner is a lithe, supple locking Chinaman, with every appearance of swiftness and long wind, while Campbell is rather obese, not, apparently, in- tended by Nature for a runner, and therefore
deserves great credit for the extra exertions he
must have put forth to have enabled him to over- haul the bricklayer.
ADDITIONAL importance, says a contemporary, is lent to the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke by the consideration that it is the first of the kind that has ever occurred in Ireland. It is noteworthy, indeed, that in a country where, to the expression of a famous frish Attorney General, assassination has long been as familiar as fowling, the life of the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant, who is commonly held respon sible for the conduct of affairs, has never been taken or even attempted before.

Moreover, it is stated that the Chinese Government are to Blame entirely in letting matters, come to the present pass; and that if they had acted straight forwardly and firmly instead of adopting a tricky vacillating policy, the French would never had cause to deal as they have, with respect to a tributary to the Celestial Empire.

When it is desired to forward letters to the United States by a sailing ship which is not noti fied as carrying a mail, it is only necessary to post the letters in the ordinary way, marked with the name of the ship, and prepaid: 10 cents per half ounce as usual. The Post Office then undertakes the duty of obtaining notice, of depar ture and despatching the correspondence. It is requested that the leiters be posted if possible at least one day before the date fixed for sailing.
TEA MUSTERS.

It is believed that the tea will travel more safely in -flat tins, which are not-so-liable as wound unesta as a good size. The tins should not have sharp be bulged in. 4 by 3 by 13 inches is suggested
