Several of the newly appointed bald-heads from the Legislative Council were appointed. There was too much of the fairy draperies and too little of the fairies to be seen.

Ir the Shanghai native papers are to be believed, the Czurewitch's reception at Hankow is to be quite a grand business, and an event, in the history of China. All the Chinese officials, high and low, along the route he is to travel, are to journey from their yamêns and proceed to welcome him as his vessel steams up the Yangtrac. headed by the Viceroy of the Ha Kuang, Chang Chih-tung. The entire Foreign community at Hankow are joining with the Russians there to make the demonstration, as imposing as possible, and an immense quantity of fireworks have been ordered from Canton for the occasion. At Woosung a salute of twenty- one guns will be fired

BOMBARDIER ASHDOWN, R.A, met with a fatal accident on Saturday evening at his quarters in Queen's Rand.

It is rather amusing to read that, in consequence of the visit of the Russian squadron to Bangkok every- thing in the way of food and drink is at a premium, champagne going up to $5 a bottle. The Government bought up while stocks of pro- visions,, such as pdées de fais gras, sausages, candles, etc., and large orders had to be wired to Singapore and Hongkong for fresh supplies.
