A MOST important religious reform will shortly be inaugurated in the Philippine Islands in the shape of complete freedom- of worship being extended to all national- ities and creeds. The Manila Government Gazette of the 6th inst, contains a series of noteworthyrecommendations in a despatch sent from Madrid by the Minister for the Colonies to the Governor-General of the Philippines. After alluding to the Govern- ment's duty to protect the Roman Catholle religion and its ministers, for the reason that it is the State religion, the, despatch goes on to say:

THE Ichang correspondent of the N. C. Daily News writes on March 1st-Dr. Henry left ichang to-day after nearly seven years' stay. He had almost all the primroses of San Yew tung brought down in his honour, and walked down into the river bed between" a double row of crackers and Roman candles one after another lighting op and exploding as he passed along the sands.

SAYS the N. C. Daily News of the 9th inst The Mutine had a very bad quarter of an hour while trying to leave the anchorage yesterday, afternoon. She started on the ebb-tide and had to steam up past the Alacrity to turn round, and when she got bow down river, she came in close proximity to the French gunboat. Then a boat got in the way, and the ship was steered to clear this, but being in the chow-chow water she sheered and ran over to the Hongkew shore, and her jibboom overlapped the wood-yard next to the German Consulate. She then backed off and hoisting her jib, got safely away, but ant before she had come close to Ewo jetty and in dangerous proximity to some cargoboats; but she was so well handled that no damage was

Three were soon extricated, and were not very much hurt, having fallen on the top of the iron, but a fourth was held by the foot for a long time, and alternately directed and swore at the rescuers as they gave him samsku and magic pulls to sustain him. About ten o'clock the dead body of a shopman was got injured; the upper part was not much injured, but the abdomen had been dreadfully crushed.
A DARING outrage was perpetrated at Wanchai yesterday. Mr. Christie, chief engineer of the Hankow, went down as usual about seven o'clock to the Prays opposite where the steamer was lying, and called his sampan. Whilst waiting on the small jetty he felt a push, but thought it was Mr. Croker, whom he was expecting, and did not turn round. Next moment he was pushed again, and on wheeling round a handful of pepper was thrown full into his eyes. He dimly saw a Chinaman running away, and ran after him, but when he caught up the man pulled out a knife and made a pass at him, so he gave up pursuit, and went to No. 2 Police Station, where he bathed his eyes and relieved his.intense prin. In the moment between turning round and being blinded he saw that his assailant was an ex- workman on the Hankow, whom he had di charged the day before for idleness. The police, therefore, should have no difficulty in making the arrest, and after that, we hope, the miscreant will get his deserts.
