The fiercest beat must have buen in the forepart of the vessel, and the flames had evidently reached the top of the funnel, as the paint was burned off nearly to the top as the fure side.
When we got alongside, the vessel was in 29 fathoms of water, about a mile off the south bank of the river and near the Forked Tree, with her head down stream. A good breeze was blowing the smoke over the Fuklee, making it very un pleasant for us on board' The wreck swung before 2 a.m. and it passed over the portion of the mainmast referred to above. Having had half an hour's sleep we got the Captain to lend us his boat, and at 5 o'clock went on shore to sec if there were any bodies washed up, but about a quarter of a mile from the bank we had to get out and walk through quarter of a mile of quick sands as there was not enough water for the boat. It was slippery work, and a Chinaman, a friend of the second compradors of the Paoching, who is missing, had to seek the friendly aid of one of our boatmen to keep him from falling. We got ashore safely and made enquiries of the people, but they hd neither seen nor heard of any bodies washed up or floating about, We returned to the lug and found that the calcined bones of human beings had been discovered in the fore hold.

THE MARQUIS TSENG.

etc., etc. A life of the late Marquis is ordered to be written. At present it is too early to estimute his work. Foreigners will never know how much they have lost by his death. His services and ability were not fully recognised by his government and colleagues "while he lived. The latter seemed filled with 'enyy and jealousy of his rank; his ability and knowledge of foreign questions. The writers in the foreign press, although their eulogiums: have been not undeserved, have fallen far short of the real ficts of the case and the silent.i fluence he exerted and the still greater influence which he was destined to exert. He had eneniies and opposition to encounter of which outsiders have no conception. He held on, notwithstanding, the even tenor of his way, and trusted to time and other circumstances to bring everything right, Hurry and precipita- tion under such conservative circumstances would only have defeated the ends he had in view. He worked quietly and silently, and although much of radical change wis early expected from his advent, "he" "found surer and more steadfast hope of impro- vement in the manner in which he carried on his work. But for his early death time would most certainly have brought his reward. It is an open secret that he was destined to be the next Viceroy of Chih-li. He was held in high respect by the Chinese of all classes, and all mourn his untively end. It had become common saying here, when anyone bought anything lereign, that he was imitating the Marquis. He stoutly opposed measures such as the Telegraph Convention and Philadelphin Syndicate, where opposition was for the good of his country. At present it is impossible to do justice to his administration of the offices entrusted to him by his sovereign, withoul seriously reflecting upon many of the high officers of the government. They killed the prophets and now they are erecting their sepulchres. Had he chosen he might have taken a bold course and d nounced abuses and irregularities, but be felt his object could be better and sooner gained by waiting. Nothing was to be gained by run. ning his head, against a brick wall; and any memorials which he might bave.addressed to the Throne would have been tantamount to his addressing bis colleagues, who were eaten up with envy and did all in their power to cripple his înfluence. He was never known to have
said or done an unkind thing, even to his enemies, His Christian-like character stands out as a bright example to all posterity.“ „We shall not soon see his like again.
No official in Peking has discharged his duties so conscientiously as the late Marquis. He regularly went to Court in the marsings; there
