A TELEGRAM from London, published in another CONCERT AT THE TEMPERANCE place, states that Sir Thomas Wade denies the statement in the Pall Mall Gaselte that he will not return to Peking. Probably Sir Thomas Wade knows his own affairs best, but as it has been generally understood in well-informed polit His Excellency's return to China was, to say the least, decidedly uncertain, this denial must be taken for what it may be worth.

WE are requested to remind the public that a bazaar in aid of the funds of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will be held in the hall of the Catholic Circle to-morrow at one o'clock. As the object of this bazaar is a most creditable one, we trust the efforts of the promoters to ensure its proving a success will be fully realised.
The opening concert of the season was given at the Temperance Hall, Queen's Road East, last night to a very large and appreciative (the Hon, W. H. Marsh) occupied the chair, and amongst the audience we noticed Mrs. Marsh, H.E. General Sargent, Major Harrison, Major Hamilton, and many other prominent members of the community. His Excellency, in opening the entertainment, briefly mentioned the objects view in getting up these concerts, and stated that the committee of the Temperance Hall had in

As the report, which was read by the Secretary: Mr. John S. Cox, requires no comment from us, if we except the remark that we consider it a very complete and most satisfactory one, we give it as read;-
