west of Peking. He is a most learned man, and gave me ready answers to questions put to blm regarding Peking in the Yuan and Ming dynasties. Regarding the size of the city in the Mongol dynasty he said it was 40 on each side, making the circumference 160 #instead of 10 on each side, or 40 'round, of the present capital. We have the remains of the mad walls of the Mongol capital on the north and cast, a few outside the present walls. The west wall was a little outside the celebrated Taoist temple, Po yunkwan. The position of the gate is bere indicated by a mound of earth, and the Iscality is called Hwei-chan Gate.

To the south. the Mongol wall was, south of the present Yung-ting Gate, the southern gate of the southern city. When the third Ming Emperor determined to move his capital to the north, he consulted a celebrated geomancer Liu Po-we, who said the Mongol
to the people, buo fu, min chuun; and the Nan-bai-tse or Southern Hunting Ground, min tu, kua chung, wealth to the people but poverty to the dynasty, but the present site would mean equal happiness to both (f'ing fu,) and hence the present city was built. The well-known Yellow Temple or Hwang-sze on the plain north of the city formed part of the Forbidden City of the Mongol dynasty. The present temple was the Palace. The walls, moat, and other buildings have been removed and the whole levelled. At that time Peking was called Ta tu; "the great city" and the summer residence outside the wall, some 200 f from Kalgan, was called Shang-ta "the upper city." The Emperors used to repair thither each year from the 4th to the oth moon. Prospect Hill, immediately to the north of the present palaca, with its beautiful five pavilions on the ridge of it, was formed in the Ming dynasty by the heaping up of coals against a siege, and inside the front gate, in the street called Taipan, all under the flag-stone is charcoal. The Hata gate, our most eastern gate in the south wall of the northern city, was called from the residence in its neighbourhood, In the Ming dynasty, of a Mohammedan Prince called Ha-fa-ta-wang; hence the gate was 30 designated; A rather illiterate correspondent of mine was therefore not so far wrong when he once addressed a letter to me Otoman St. We read frequently in the Peking Gazette of the Pel- bai and Nan-hai; or 'northern and southern sca terms applied to portions of the lake north and south of the Marble Bridge. The Empress Dowager, it is known, now lives na the shores of the southern sea, and a little bit of railway skirts its edge, part of the way.

Green Island light, the red shades were dis pensed with, and a bright light is now exhibited
round except over the Kellet's Bank. A light vessel has also been kept up on Kellet's bank to mark the spot where eight junks laden with stones have been sunk as an experiment with the object of finding out if the obstruction thus caused will result in a silting upon the Bank. I do not anticipate, much result from the experiment.

25. The condition of the Magazine is not such as might be desired. For several years, white-ants have been at work in the rafters of the roof, and although their depredations have from time to time been restored the pests them- selves have not been got rid of. The eastern outer wall is cracked owing apparently to the subsidence of the foundation. The wharf also is in a slate borde ring on the "unsafe."
The subject also of excluding the public from the precincts of the Magazine is one, which, I submit, should receive consideration. At present, this is the only portion of Stone Cutters Island where the public can land without special "permitand when it is considered with what care such like premises are generally guarded, the omission in this case seems to call for remark.

About sixty of the residents attended the first, Our foreign population' is very limited. The twoldays' Spring races here passed off as usual, The second day was somewhat windy and dusty. None of the Foreign Office Ministers put in an appearance. The races were postponed for some days owing to the demise of the Marquit Tseng, For this reason, probably, the Ministers did not visit the course. The Emperor and Empress Dowager will pay a visit to Wasshoushan on the 10th and will live at it for the following tea days, returning each evening to the Palace in the city.
