Some loyal demonstrations were made by the Chinese in Nagasaki and other Japanese ports the Emperor's birth-day, The Chinese Consul at Nagasaki invited all the representa tives of Foreign Powers to a reception, on the first day, and all the foreign merchants on the second, Displays of fireworks were made in the evening. At Wachang, Viceroy Chang Chih- tung ordered the people to decorate the streets and houses with lanterns for the occasion.
An Imperial decree was issued on the 19th of the 6th moon wherein it is stated that a Censor has reported to the Throne the reason why the waters of the recent floods in Peking city had not subsided so rapidly as had been expected. According to the Censor this was due to the drains and smail ditches in, the city not being kept in a proper state of cleanliness, but allowed to get into a filthy and choked-up condition, that afforded no adequate outlet for the surplus, water, Therefore his Majesty has ordered the Board of Works to examine all those channels, and put
them into an efficient state.
annual inspection, at the close of which I hear that the Admiral intends to visit Feking. It is to be hoped that the floods at the capital may been abated in the meantime The band of the Triomphants played for us in front of the club one day, a treat that was greatly appreciated. The Vipère is expected shortly from Kobe and then, the French contingent will be complete. There is to be a grand rendezvous of all the Chinese fleet here on Monday next to celebrate the birthday of his Celestial Majesty, Two ships have arrived already, and sixteen more should be at anchor in the harbour in the course of the next two days. A grand banquet, to which sixty guests are invited, is to be given by the officers of the fleet at the Family hotel,
I regret to have to record the sad and sudden death from cholera of Captain Richard Andrew, of the China Merchanis steamship Hstry. Captain Andrew was taken ill on Monday morn ing. He was brought on share and his con- dition improved so much on Tuesday that he was pronounced out of danger. Unhappily the next day brought a relapse and he sank at to p.m. on Wednesday night. The utmost sympathy is felt for his widow, who was summoned by telegraph and only arrived this morning in time for her busband's funeral.
The weather has been extremely hot for some days, but yesterday was the first day of autumn by the Chinese calendar and a file touch of crisp north wind arrived appropriately to remind
that the natives are correct in their designa tion of the seasons. We may soon look forward the lovely clear days and cool air which make exercise a delight and for which Chefoo is famous in September and October. In the meantime sea baibing is pursued with devotion and evident pleasure in the evenings succeeding

Another decree of the same date contains a memorial from the Viceroy Li Hong-chang, reporting
the recent floods in Tientsin and the adjacent districts, and begging the Throne for a grant of Tis, 60,000 to be distributed amongst the sufferers from the floods. Li's prayer is granted, and furthermore, His Majesty says that several other districts under the Vice- royal jurisdiction are suffering from the heavy rains. Therefore the Prefect of Fong Tien has been ordered to retain 11,500 sacks of tribute rice, and the Kiang Peb officials to retain 86,000 sacks of tribute rice, and send it to Tientsin to be distributed amongst the needy. His Majesty further orders Viceroy Lt to send a trustworthy wriyen to superintend the dis
tribution.
NEWCHWANG,
August 7th.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) This is the first day of autumn according to native calculation, and strange to say there was fall in the thermometer of several degrees, the minimum temperature being about 74 Faht against 830 or so last night. A slight fall of rain tended to freshen the atmosphere, and the north wind will soon verify the correctness of the Chinese calendar. The hent last week, was greater than in previous years, and the season so far has been unusually dry, for- tunately, although from the appearance of the river there has been plenty of rain up country, and the bund, on more than one occasion was flooded in the shallow parts. The prospects of a good harvest have kept prices down, and shipments have hardly been inter- rupted. We hear that the difficulties for a railway between this and Kirin would be very small from an engineer's point of view; the cost therefore would not be large, comparatively speaking. It would take some time to build until the works are in full swing, but once act going it would go quickly and easily, as the material for laying the rails could be got on the way. As for labour, the cost would be very low compared to the expenses in Europe and America.
At Wuhu the Taolai prohibited the export of rice last March. On the 3rd of August at 8 o'clock in the evening he received a telegram from the Viceroy, Tetng, informing him that the Viceroy Li Hung-chang, Superintendent of Trade for the northern parts, had telegraphed to his southern colleagues requesting that the em bargo should be removed, in order to facilitate the relief of the northern districts now in distress in consequence of the foods, The-N.

The new Consul for Tientsin is, we are pleased to leare, the Vicomte de Bezaure, who, with his accomplished wife, is already so favourably
On the morning of the 7th inst., a boatman at the Hund accused a coolie of stealing a bag of rice, and the coolie stabbed him just above the temple. It is not known whether the wound proved fatal, but the coolie has been banded over to the Chinese authorities.
Wei-bal-wei is the very gate of the Manchu rlan provinces from the Pacific, On Wel-hai-known here. wei, indeed, with Li-shun (Port Arthur) and Talienwan, the sea defences are based as a tripod on its three legs. Kinchow is also to be fortified, and the Viceroy Li Hung-chang has already sent an officer to the spot to draw up a map and report, giving an estimate of the probable cost. It is high time that this were done, as Kinchow, with its excellent har. bour, has already in history borne the brunt of foreign invasion, and might in certain eventuali ties do co again. When the Japanese used to make their raide on Liaotung they often landed there, and as long ago as the seventeenth year of Yung Lo of the Mings, (A.D. 1419) when Llu Kang was in command of the defences of Liaotung, he called attention to the defenceless state of Kinchow, and recommended the erection both of fors there and of smoke signal-beacons on the neighbouring heights.

30th July, 1890. H.B.M's Government has commenced the erection of a Consulate-General bere, the founda- tion stone of which was laid on the toth instant by Mrs. Hillier, wife of the Consul-General, and in the presence of most of the foreign residents. Mr. Hillier was unavoidably prevented from attending the ceremony, but was represented by Mr. Yaines Scott, Vice-Consul, and Mr. C. W. Campbell, of the Consular Service. A copper: box containing newspapers and a few coins baving been, securely soldered, and deposited In a stone base, Mr. Scott, on behalf of the Surveyor, then presented Mrs. Hillier with a silver trowel, and called upon that lady to lay the stone, which duty having been satisfactorily performed, success to the new building was drunk in bumpers of champagne.

:
Prince and Princess di Cariati, are staying in Tientsin en route to Japan, where the Prince has been appointed Chargé d'Affaires in place of the Commendatore Renato de Martino, the present Minister, who goes home on leave. It is not anticipated that Prince di Cariati will return to China..
It is reported on good authority that Mr. P. Ristelhueber, at present Consul-General for France in Tienisin, has been appointed to the post of Chargé d'affaires during the absence of the Minister, Mr. Lemaire. Though we are sorry to lose Mr. Ri telhueber from Tientsin, the Republic could not have made a better selec tion for its representative in Peking..
A traveller crossing the plain from Tongshan to Tientsin wished to hire two men from a village about half-way to help pole his boat, and offered them go cents each, but although their lands were covered with water and crops destroyed they refused the job. Some distance were obtained from another further on two men village at 35 cents each, but these also gave their services very reluctantly, showing that the dis- tress is not yet acute, or at least not universal.

The Tientsin Reach is undergoing a process of clearing by means of a large take dragged bickwards and forwards by a tug. It would be premature to say whether this process will be effective or not in removing the hard sandy de poalt, This method, we undersand, has proved successful on the Mississippi, and many others rvers, and the authorities intend giving it a fair trial, for if the bank in the Tientsin Reach can be removed the port will be open to the deepest draught steamers that ply here.
THE MARINE HOTEL is NOW OPEN.
THIS FIRST-CLASS HOTEL is situated on the Praya West, opposite the Old P. & O. Wharf, and is newly built after the designs of the Largest European Hotels-the BEDROOMS, BATH-ROOMS, &c., are commodious, well Ventilated and well Furnished, and are suitable for Single or Married Persons.

The BAR and BILLIARD ROOMS are on the Ground Floor, and are fitted up in superior style. ENGLISH and AMERICAN TABLES,...
WINES and LIQUORS of the best qualities and Brands only will be supplied. The Undersigned therefore begs the patronage of the Public, hoping to give every satisfaction.

The officials have been sending the refugees from the City Walls back to their villages. They were found not to be all in real want, many of them wearing silver ornaments; and as they fed their dogs with the food doled out to them, the city authorities seem to have concluded that for the time being at least the charity was misplaced. There is, in fact, the greatest possible difference between the classes of sufferers, and every degree of privation from the mere inconvenience and discomfort of water-logged houses to the pangs of starvation, and the greatest discrimination will have to be exercised in dispensing general relief. Round the fringe of the inundation the crops are reported wonderfully fine, far beyond the average, and there are also high strips of land within the flooded area where the Baoliang and maize are flourishing luxuriantly.
It becomes more and more patent that the general destruction of the sailway on the Tong shan branch proceeded from the antagonism of the military officials, especially those stationed at the great camp of Lutai. These gentlemen have been in the habit of making most extra- vagant demands on the Company in the way of free passes, special cars, etc., and even insisted on being supplied with refreshment while travelling gratis. Free passes have been too lavishly granted by the directors of the Company to the whole tribe of military parasites. but the officers of the Company have required them to accommodate themselves to the rules and regulations established for the preservation of order on the line, and for the convenience of the general public. restraints of decency and order did not, however, suit the Lulai beroes, and because they were not allowed to subordinate the arrangements of the traffic to their barbarous military disorder, have nourished resentment, and an opportunity presenting itself they seized upon it to wreak a revenge that would have brought upon them most severe punishment in any civilized country, and possibly even in China at another time. At the head of these swashbucklers is of course the General Yang, very locally yclept the Bismarck of China. When it became known that his proceedings were reported, he sat trembling in the midst of his #braves" in a condition of what is known in the West as "funk," but when the attitude of the higher authorities was found to be not unfavourable to the wreckers of the railway, the gallant General recovered, and he and his band of bracs are celebrating their triumph over that great enemy of misrule, the railway.
