of the Hongkong public. My letters in reply to C. U" were not written to please the Shang hai Mercury; their aim was simply to protest against the introduction into the courteous racing circles of this Colony,, the childish custom which you say prevalis in Shanghai, and which I con- sidered myself at liberty to condemn in that elegant and vigorous Saxon you admire so much. I should at the same time be glad to see the nicknames tabooed by the Shanghai press, or rather by the only representative of the press the Mercury-which encourages such bad form. I am sorry, Lord Charles, that you had the bad taste to indulge in those uncalled for, and extremely ill matured comments on An Old Sportsman's collection of screws," and his veter: inary accomplishments, which you say, or intend to say, cela va sans dire, are superior io those of anybody else. Your Lordship's literary efforts are sadly lacking in that deli cacy of feeling, and display but little of those refined tastes which are characteristic of the usual run of titled gentlemen, and l'am much afraid that you have seen too many snowy winters to give your admirers any hopes in the possibility of your turning over a new leaf. And yet I daresay you can well, and that which the injority of people would consider vulgar ignorance is merely a peculiar description of eccentricity exclusively your own.
In conclusion I think I can best reply to your Jordship's severe censure of my presumption-for daring to write that the habit of referring, to cer- tin gentlemen in the columns of a public news- paper by ridiculous and offensive nicknames is low, vulgar, and unjustifiable-in the language of Rochefoucault-lyn des reproches qui Tonent et des louanges qui médisent."

When will be presented, by the Undermentioned amongst foreigners by his proceedings, whicht were given expression to in these columns. Still, the Taotai desires to mark his disapproval of rate of interest for his money to the detriment of such conduct as a banker charging the market the Viceroy's banker, so he has banished Mr. Yao Chang-ming, manager of the Wu-chong bank, from his circuit and he is exiled to Ningpo,. whence he comes, and is sentenced to receive joo blows on the hand, a punishment which he can commute by the payment of Ts.

This banneret is made of green silk with gold fringe. In the centre of it is age of St. George and the Dragen, worked in silver and gold thread. Over this is the motto "Pro Aris ct Focis" (for our altars and firesides) and below are the words "Shanghai Mounted Rangers."--~ Courier.
SHANGHAI TURF NOTES,
9th September.
This being the orthodox' training morning, galloping was the order of the day, the condition
of the ponies being a matter of minor importance. The consequence was that some ponies.went very well and others very badly. Prejudice, Pillager, and Plunderer went for a mile-time, zmin, 211secs, Prejudice, with his light weight up, going like a life demon. Pillager appeared dis- tressed, and I refer the public to ile rider of Plunderer for further particulars in regard to his
mount.
Then Mr. Bill took out a húst, but, as usual, nobody could make out anything from his per formance. in fact the attempt at present to pick out Mr. Bill' best griffin is somewhat similar to seeking for a "needle in a hay stack."
Wild Dash and Wild Edily went one mile in zmin. 18secs, the former, ridden by Mr. Ten Broeck, going very well. This is all that can be said of the old ponies, excepting First Cornet,

is this, and now is the time to acknowledge it openly. The French have not worked with us
in Egypt in a loyal way. They may plead, if they please, that from the necessities of their position they could not do so very easily; all we say is that they did not. French intrigue it was, through Baron de Ring, which originally gave importance to Arabi Fasha; and though the meddlesome. Baron was recalled, the agents of France in Egypt never ceased to hold friendly relations with the military party, down to the June. massacre, if not afterwards. For this and other reasons it had become clear before the bombard ment that the two countries could not live long together in Egypt without risk of profound canbar russment for the English and now, as we have said, that state of things has been made infinitely worse by the ostentatious abstention of the French from all action hostile to the Nationalist or fanatical party while we bombarded Alexandria and ex pelled Arabl. If we now re-entered upon the control with France on anything like the old footing, it is clear what the consequences would be, Jealous more than ever of English influence
SETTLEMENT OF THE KOREAN
DIFFICULTY.
Chefoo, 4th September, 1882. Li Hung Chang arrived here last night per 5.8. Paulah and left this morning for Tientsin; four Chinese gunboats escorted him as far as the Bluff.
The Chinese man-of-war Chen Chin arrived yesterday from Korea, bringing the news that all is settled there. She left again for Korea this morning. Korca pays an idemnity of $500,000 to Japan, besides $50,000 to the families of the killed Japanese. Two more ports are to be opened, and a garrison of Japanese is to be kept for one year at the capital, Seoul. The rebellion is suppressed.

How easy it would be to work upon that fact need not be said; nor is it at all difficult to forecast the consequences. The only, means of averting them that we have yet haard of is the taking of Italy into partnership, But that would be "a patch-up" of a most unpro mising kind; for if France is jealous of England, she is still more jealous of Italy, and the hatred
between the two countries is extreme. Tran "quillity is not to be found by that means; nothing like a permanent settlement is to be hoped for that way; and after the experiences of the last six months, and considering the position in which we now find ourselves, it would be a very great mistake to have part in any settlement that ob viously could not last. No such "patch-up" as we hear of would please the French; on the contrary, it would yet further exasperate them even though. they submitted to it. In short, the grand ques tion now is whether England should not seek by an understanding with the German Powers and the Porte to establfil a control over.Egypt which shall not depend so much upon the good will af a Power whose action and whose interests in the country have proved so hostile to our own.
