A few days ago Baron van Seckendorff, who was formerly Assistant in the German Consul ate at Canton, arrived here to take up the post of Acting German Consul, and I notice that the Imperial Arms have already disappeared from over the door of Messrs. Dircks & Co.'s offices. It is rumoured that Baton von Seckendorff is temporarily stationed at this part on account of the interminable land case, the Chinese having with justice complained that the claimant, viz, Mr. Schaar, of Dircks & Co., is also Acting as Judge or at least representing the German Government,
There is also a Mandarin who holds rank as Taotai expected shortly from Canton and is Is possible that we may learn some authentic news shortly and not rumours which must be taken cust grano satis,
Sometime ago Mr. Harris, formerly a ship wright of this, port, proceeded to Shanghai to obtain legal advice regarding a claim on the foreshore of Kackchio. He asserts that he holds deeds which entitle him to take possession of the whole of the foreshore from the E. boundary of the British Consulate down to abreast of the small Chinese fort, thus claiming the ground. occupied by the Sugar Refinery, Mr. Meyers and the Commissioner of Custorns. Time will prove whether there is any justice in Mr. Harris' claim.
At present there are stationed on the Lamocks, one officer and four marines belonging to the U.S.S. Richmond for the purpose of watching the wreck of the Ashuelot; Captain Vincent, of the Danish schooner Spartan, has reported favourably as to recovering the treasure, guns and etc., and they are simply waiting for instrue. tions from the home Government to commence operations.

Our morning contemporary says :-Monday's Shen Pao announces that the Tsung-li Yamén has sent a despatch to the Superintendent of the Southern Ponts, The Governor-General of Min- che, the Tartar General and the Govenor of Fukien to the effect that the Land telegraph lines from Shanghai to Woesung and from Amoy to Hoihow should be built by Chinese alone, and that the cables of the Great Northern can only fine and clear weather, with N. W. wind, set in Sugar Refining Company from 200 to 167, connect up to a point outside the ports, but will not be allowed to land." We are in a position to add that the above is authentic.—Mercury

We hear that part of the Yangtsze valley is still under water since last year's floods; the people are quite apathetic in some places, saying that it is the place of the officials to drain the land for them. The natives again expect inundations this summer. No bright prospects i for the poor sufferers.
With regard to the Yangtsze buaya a notifica- tion has been issued by the Commissioner of Customs, to the effect that on the Langshan crossing, the South Bank having extended to the Northeastward, the colour of the North Bank Buoy has been changed from red to black, to mark the port side of the channel entering from seaward. It will now be known as the South Bank Buoy.

The interment took place on the 27th ultimo. To accommodate such A number of followers, H.E. had constructed at Yu Chi-kow over a hundred houses previous to his arrival, which thanks to the facilities afforded by the tele- graph were completed to his order; it is questionable whether that would have been done had a special messenger been deputed, owing to unavoidable delays. The Viceroy was expected to leave Yu Chi-kow on the 3rd inst and go to Mganking, visiting the Tatung Coal Mines en route, and inspect the proposed fron mines, for which Tong King-sing has received authority to purchase plant. He will be attend- ed by his large retinue and on his return will embark for Tientsin in the steamer Hasan, which it has been arranged shall call for him at Wuhu.

CHINKIANG.
April, 26th 1882.
Much excitement prevails in the native mind about the rapid extension of a secret society well known in former years as the "White Lily Sect." It appears they have become again all-powerful in the province of Kiangiu and more especially so at the town called Chin-Keang-Poc, ituated on the Grand Canal hear the Yellow River. They hold the power of life and death over the members and their first object is to overturn the government. By some means the govemment has discovered the three leading men, one of whom it a Buddbist "Sailing vessels in port are the Jda, loading for priest and have secured papers, incriminating London, and Afaggie Dirty bound for Cuba, several influential people, and a few days since Steamers Mecfoo, Chefoo, Buangtung, Afar these three prisoners were sent to the Viceroy, salia, Taiwan, Denudaj the Mongkul arrived Tao Teung-tang, at Nankin.

Marcury.
FOOCHOW.
The telegraph line, which runs through this place, was made use of to acquaint the Viceroy, and several hundred soldiers have been sent up to quell the disturbance. Trade is very dull since the rice carrying trade has ceased and over taxation of native produce in the interior is sure 17 the cause of these periodical insurrections. This is not the first occasion the telegraph has proved its great use to the officials and it seems more than a pity the same govemment does not render greater help to these inland districts by the establishment of railways for cheap carriage of goods-Courier Correspondent.

and Luzons from 5 per cent, premtuin to 35 per cent. discount, without any other apparent cause. The return of the "mer- chant prince," who appears to carry the destinies of the two companies just named in his trouser pocket, seems likely to affect another revolution in China and Luzon Sugar shares, and again without any visi ble reason. The scrip of the first named concern, which was going begging the at 187. and as hoiders seen disinclined to other day at 167 is now in strong demand sell at that figure, most likely a higher price will soon be forthcoming. Luzons changed hands yesterday at 65, but this afternoon, cash offers of 75 fail to secure a single share; and the tendency is decidedly towards a further rise. And yet it must be evident to every thinking man, who knows anything of the matter, that neither China Sugars nor Luzons are worth one copper cash more to-day than they were yesterday. In plain words the market is being rigged, the "bulls" and "bears" are having each an innings; and so it will go on
as long as the spirit of speculation exists in our midst, and time purchases are recognised and encouraged, Our expected report from Manila as to the has not yet come to hand; but we shall prospects of the Luzon Sugar Refinery doubtless receive it at an early date, when our readers may rely on being placed in possession of practical information that can be safely relied on. Not that there is now any great recessity for any independent report Read between the lines the report of the General Managers, tells a plain un- varnished tale, which ought to be compre- hensibleto all business men. Statistics sel- dom lie; in this particular instance they tell "an ower, truc tale.". As already stated, Chinas are now wanted at 178 and Luzons at 75 cash; the last named stock is also wanted at 77 for June. Banks are in re- quest at 180 for cash, and 185 for. June 30th. Other stocks require no special re- ference.
