On the 30th of last month Governor Liu Ming- chuan arrived here on his way to Tai-wan-foo. The steamer Fescheu, which was to convey him to Taiwan-foo, was, gaily decorated, and the Customs flagstaff fairly groaned under the weight of the bunting with which it was laden. There was a great display of flags in the town, in honour of the event, and from daybreak soldiers lined the banks of the river from the fort to the town and officers and mandarins on horseback and on foot rushed to and fro in anxious expectancy. At boom of the guns from the fort at Kantao was. heard, indicating that His Excellency had em- harked on the launch that was to bring him here. He soon afterwards arrived and first went on board the Frichen; after a short stay he came on shore and visited the Consul and Commissioner and then paid a visit to General Li at the fort, where he partook of refreshments, and afterwards inspected the fort, with which he seemed particularly pleased, the greatest object of his admiration being the 42-ton gun which had been safely mounted a few days before, after consider able trouble. At 1 a.m. he went on board the Feschen, which immediately got under way. On passing the fort he was saluted with the cus thanty three guns, I hear the Governor will be The Emperor William has released Malletoa foo to enquire into the state of affairs there, about

There also the new Bishop is often to be seen supervising farming operations. And it may be prejudice, but the Christlan fields scem better cultivated than the heathen fields by which they are surrounded. The best cultivated picce of ground, however, I have seen for a long time was field of poppies above the Tchang gorge.

We are always hearing how carefully the tea plantations are seen after in India. I wonder if the poppy fields there are as well cared for as those here.

Further enquiry reveals the fact that no gold, or none worth mention, comes to Peking from south of the Yellow River but on the other hand much or most of the gold used in Southern China, a really considerable amount, comes from Peking and Soochow. We do not know if statistics are kept of the import into Canton and Foochow of gold from Burmah and Siam, but the amount cannot be large. Probably some supplies are derived from Yunnan, The state- ment recently made, probably for interested. purposes, that Peking draws gold from Pahang is an absurdity, but may none the less have had its calculated effect upon investors.

It is said that the leading factors of the General Foreign Municipality (Chinese, Japanese, and Occidental) constituted them selves into a sacred conclave to consider the best ways and means how to effectually light the jetty and vast band of the inner harbour in a manner creditable to the ancient and modern civilization represented on the Board. The main object in view, was to prevent recurrences of serious bodily injuries, which have been only too frequently the lot of those whose duty is on the briny deep; perenas, be it noted, who unsuspect ingly suddenly encounter in the darkness huge boulders, pieces of glass bottles, mud holes,lumber, sleeping cattle, and up-turned sampans or what not.

The sub-committee 'speedily settled upon a resolution that the thres Municipalities should furnish funds from their respective treasuries for the purchase of three Manila Lottery tickets; money thus obtained should be devoted to the purchase of an electric light plant to the towns, bund and jetty; and further, that Mr. Joha Forsyth-now of 56 l, an electrician in the Royal Palace-should be engaged as electrician | THEATRE to the three Municipalities.

Fusan, and May, 1869.
We were all excitement the other day when the news reached us from Soul that another riot had taken place. We heard that all the foreign houses were burnt down, and all the foreigners roasted, but I hear now that the row was occa sioned by a drunken man-of-war's sailor, but I have no doubt that your Chemulpo correspon dent will tell you all about it. I don't see why a Iapanese policeman should wear a sword, which, by the way, is almost as big as himself. The "Jap" is beginning to be too familiar again, and I am afraid it will end 'in a bad way some diy or other.
The weather is very changeable, and the evenings are turning quite cold again. We have had plenty of rain and the crops will be excellent this season. Rye, wheat, rice, and potatoes (sweet), exported from Japan is almost nothing.
The N.Y.K. have made a coal station here, and have sent the Japanese barque Yorinobu Afars with about 600 tons of coal, which is only intended for their own steamers' use..
The Japanese Municipality have at length sense enough to engage a doctor, which is the best thing they ever did. We have only had, up to date, thice quacks here, who styled them- selves doctors. Une has a chance now of get- ling proper medical attendance, which is always
a good thing.
We have now four Japanese steamers monthly touching here, and 1 hope they will be kept running with a profit, as the Company is very obliging, and act fairly, not only to their country men, but to all who ship through them. The only thing they want here are some godowns, for they have hardly any, now. I suppose they will build some soon. If you, Mr. Editor, wants to have a monument erected in Fusan in memory of your good deeds, no doubt you will have one raised if you will send us a tallor, a shoemaker, baker and a butcher."Send these along and let me know what kind of a monu- ment you want and I will have the money in no time.
