THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1808.
TIENTSIN.
The extreme heat broke on Tuesday the 7th inst. curiously coinciding with the day fixed by Chinese calculation. The thermometer during the previous week showed an average maximum of 961 or 15 degrees higher than for the corre sponding week of last year. The average for the present has been 8;10. The change of temperature coincided with the occurrence of a heavy gale in the golf which deprived us.cf steam communication for two days.
We much regret that Mr. Henry Blow, one of the oldest foreign residents of Tientsin at the time of his death, departed this life at Chefoo on the 6th inst, and has been buried there. He was 61 years old when he died, and almost to the last there were hopes that he might live to reach his native land. Mr. Blow was an Ulster math. He first came to China as parser in one of Trautman & Co.'s steamers, of which line his brother, Captain Blow, afterwards Lloyd's agent at San Francise, was senior commander Mr. H. Blow will be much regretted. He was n man of much simplicity of character, perfectly upright, and was possessed by a kindly, manly. and honourable spirit.

Our news for them was indeed welcome, and they mostly quicted down. Very many in Shantung heartily rejoice
the prospect of a quiet freedom from the River. I trust, for the sake of all concerned that steps will now be taken to survey and come la some conclusion about this river. It will be thasand pities if the Government force the Honanese to leave that Province, as their work will certainly he required, and that to great profit for both rulers and, people. There is not the least necessity for any of them leaving Honan, Governor can find profitable work, and sure prospect of regaining their lands at an eatly date, which may not be much the worse for the land, as the silt is mortly less, not sand, as in Shantung, theaiver not having entered into the sandy district very far at the breach.

The mines formerly paid a royalty which varied annually from some tens of Taels to 1,00 Taels, but their autpat having been reduced to about onc-tenth since the rebellion, the Governor has, to encourage mining enterprise, suspended the collection of this tax for three years.
There is now a large junk traffic between Lib-yang, in the Chinkiang Prefecture, and Chang-chow. Last month two men brought a box abroad at Lih-yang, as passengers' effects, for the hold, and went away, saying they would be back in time to sail, as they were passengers. They never returned, and when the vessel was under weigh, such a dreadful smell arose from the hold, that the box was opened, and found to have the mutilated remains of several murdered Chinese stowed Inside it. It was carried on to Chang-chow and the authorities there were in formed, and a search is on foot for the assassins.

This july, owing to the excessive heat, there has been a great deal of cholera at Wu-ch'ang Fu, capital of Hupeh Province, and the managers of one charitable burial association report that one day 60 coffins were carried out of the esta blishment for burial, which, considering that such associations are numerous in the town, enables one to form an idea of the extent of the total mortality amongst paupers.
