NEWS BY THE FRENCH MAIL. »
The Messageries Maritimes. Co.'s steamer Melbourne, Capt. Lequené, with the French mail of February 24th, arrived in harbour yesterday afternoon. We take the subjoined items from the London, and China Expreîs:—.
The French transport Canfon left Toulon on the 20th inst. for Cochin China and Tong-King. She has 205 civil and military passengers, and will embark 800 troops at Algeria.
The many friends of Archdeacon Gray, formerly of Canton, will hear with regret that he recently broke his left arm. The Archdeacon
has heen spending most of the winter in Brussels, and had the misfortune to slip on the ice. We are glad to say that he has progressed well, and is now out of the doctor's hands, though his wrist ‚and hand remain somewhat stiff.
The steamer that was launched from Messrs Robert Thompson and Sons, Southwick-yard, Sunderland, on the 13th inst., as reported in our last issue, for the Nippon Yusen Kaisha (Japan Mail Company), Tokio, was named the Mike Mark, and the following are her dimensions: Length, 3314 feet; breadth, 42 feet; depth, 287 Tect. This is the fifth steamer that this firm bare built for the same owners.
We learn that Mr Wharton Barker, who it will be remembered was the principal on whose behalf the so-called Count Mitkiewiaz went to China, is shortly going to Russia. Mr. Barker holds the rank of a Russian Admiral, conferred on him for services rendered to the Russian Government. It is likewise stated that Mr. Barker may visit the East, possibly, wo presume, with a view to reviving the negotiations of his agent. We shall see with what success. At the annual meeting of the Glasgow ship _owners. held on the zial inst, the chairman, Mr. Alexander Allan, of the Allan Line, said the slight spurt towards the end of last year had gone off, and earnings had become most unre- mucrative. When ships now building were ready the shipping trade would be further depressed, and there was no inducement to go in for further tonnage. He believed before the end of the year there would be a collapse in ship building..
The market for China Tea shows no improve. racut, and it would seem prices for lowest kinds do not increase the volume of business, a clear proof that this stuff is too common for. home consumption. The higher grades are in small compass; prices are quoted nominal at 15. 6d. to 28., and at this range prospects for next season's yield do not appear to bear out the gloomy views entertained of late. For Indian fea the demand does not abate, Ceylon Tea is still disappointing, as quality is not maintained. Larger supplies will be coming forward the next
month or two.

There has never been anything so prettily made. for a woman's foot since I have known anything of such matters, as the bronze slipper and bronze, silk stocking. To me they are the most thoroughly feminine things in the world.
Concerning her own dresses Mm, Langtry says: "Of course. I am a tall woman,not a large woman, and of course I spend more money on my clothes than a great many women care to, or could; With me I have to do so; but it certainly. seems just the same, as if every woman who has any time for dress at all, ought to study herself and know herself from top to toe. I really think I know every line of my body, and can tell in a minute just what I can or cannot wear, and I am sure the time it has cost me has been. a cheap investment."
