The Colonial steamer Sea Belle is to leave, in search of news of the Perse, to-night. Among those who were expected to be pas sengers last week by the Paras were Mr. Hume Black, a member of the Queensland House of Assembly; Mr. Bibby, manager of the Raub mines; a son of Mr. Kalght, the managing owner of the Perse; and a son of Captain Habe- kast, who commands the Pars.

exclusively through British territory. A sub sidy of 60,000 a year, made up of £15000 from the Canadian Government and £45,000 from the Imperial Treasury, has been provided. The scheme, in its larger scope, included a fleet of fast steamers of the first-class to run between Plymouth and Halifax, or St. John's in the Bay of Fundy, a sea passage 60 miles shorter than that barween Liverpool and New York, and capable of being covered in less than five days.

NOTES FROM chinese papeRS.
The largest junk at Shanghil; a vessol of some 5,000 plculs capacity, was burst to the water's edge a few days ago. The vessel came from Newchwang with a cargo of oil, beans, kaoliang and maize, at the end of last year. The all and beans bad sil been disposed of, and at the time of the fire about 50 plculs of kollang and maize only remained on board. Indeed the shipment of cargo for the return voyage had zlready commenced, about roo bales of cloth having been shipped, it belog intended to fill up with tribute rice. As soon as the fire broke out, the her junk, a great many of which were lying Close together near the burning vessel, cut their moorings and made eff in a panic. Had they *not done there would have been a tremendous Gre: The crew of the.. burned vessel saved themselves by jumping into the water and swimming to the eier boats. The value of the Junk and cargo liestimated at Tls, 20,000,
The following proclamation has been issued by the Shanghai Total:--In former years steam navigation on rivers and creeks through the interior of China in this neighbourhood was prohibited, but Intterly, through the represents tions of the Imperial Maritime Customs the Native Authorities issued passes to those who bad stend-launches and permitted them to go into the interior, on the understanding that they would stop at the Customs stations and allow their launches to be inspected. This they did willingly up to a short ilme ago, but now the launches will not step at the stations or slow
projected an another and essential part of the mperial scheme, and as an alternative to the Soes Canal route, a line of steamers between Vancouver and Australia, and negotiations are now being carried on for postal and Admiralty subsidies, to which the Colonial and Imperial Governments, it is hoped, will contribute, to enable the line to hold its own. Both the Atlantic and the Australian service are in the meantime in abeyance, although a contract was actually signed by the managers of the Orient Line for the Atlantic service Before the subsidy was voted and before application was made to the public for the necessary capital to build the three steamers, ofwhichthe Empress of India is the first. After the Pacific subsidy had been recured, two leading members of the Canadia Pacific Railway retired from the Atlantic scheme, and the Orient Company felt it prudent to relinquish it, and the China service was slane gone on with. The abandonment of the Atlantic service is important, because, in the opinion of the postal authorities, the pro pored accelerated service between Vancouver and China and Japan is of no value without the proposed accelerated service between London and the eastern terminus of the Canadian-Pacific Hallway.
