In a Decree trsued on the 18th of the present moon, the Emperor states that from time immemorial It has been the Imperial prerogative to degrade or promote officials according to their merits, all over the Empire. The Emperor has also the right to forgive offenders, as for instance when a degraded official repents and donates a large sum of money to some charitable institution, that official, on the recommendation of some viceroy or governor is frequently restored to his rank and honours. Such matters are often referred to the Board of Civil Office, by command of the Emperor. But they are not asked to interfere in the manner though it has become customary with them to do, nor are they expected to pass conclusive opinions about the finess of promotion or degradation for an official, and bis Majesty commands that in future this Board, as well as all the other Boards, when reporting on memorials presented by high opinions, impeaching or appraising, unless by officials, will abatain from expressing their

The statement of claim was filed July 13th, and of defence August |- 8th. One of the ques' raised was whether Tang Yung Mow had or had not sufficient interest in the estate to justify him legally 'in bringing this suit. Under the provisions of the Probate Court Ordinance an order was made by the Court early in the case that proceedings be according to the form used in England, as the law here could not be made to An order was therefore made (June apply. 2nd, 1820) that the issue be tried before a Judge without jury whether plaintiff had such interest as would enable bim to proceed. Plaintiff accordingly filed a separate petition on this alleging that plaintiff was son of Tang.

Con- trary to the usual procedure, the building was not fired, but was pulled down piece-meal, the attacking party being evidently afraid that if they get the place on fire the flames would be seen from the river by passing steamers and so might lead to a visit from a Foreign man-of-war, Teung Ming is only some forty-seven miles from Shanghai, but there is no regular communication with Haimen, and very little beyond the bald facta are yet known here.

They are neither the one of the other, and the temporary fall after the murders and burnings at Wusuch, Weslch and Payang, we fear, was only to gather addi- tlonal strength before renewing the campaign. The negociations which took place after the Wahu rict between the Viceroy of Nanking and the unemployed generala by the way how is it that generals in both Europe and China always turn to mischief when they've got no other work to do ?-have evidently fallen through. On that occasion, when the discontented ring fingi, n, their Imperial yellow riding-jackets, peacock feathers, and all-the-lasigala of their military rank, waited-ext. upon the Viceroy to state the conditions upon which they and their followers, the Kolao-hwel, could be bought off from attacking Foreigners, the Viceroy at first refused to see them. But they expressed their determination of sitting down in bis yamen until he was ready to accord them the audience which their yellow riding jackets, presented by the Emperor for their suc cess against the Taipings, entitled them to have at any time from any official. These gentry, who were parcelled out on the waste lands in pension, had recently bad their annual grant Human after the rebellion, and granted a yearly stopped by the new Viceroy, and hence their visit. Though Liu Kung was very reluctant, be had to face the music, and the inforlated old warriors gave him a lively half-hour, and loff. mated pretty plainly that if their suppiles were. stopped there would be serious trouble. The Viceroy for a long time refused to listen to their demands and put forward his instructions from Peking to cut down all expenses whenever possible as his excuse for stopping their pensions But after a time he was persuaded into throwing a sop to Cerberus, which stopped their mouths for a while, but was not sufficient to buy off the more wide-spread danger threatened by their followers. The money, which he reluctantly pald, amounts to only a fraction of what they demanded, and hence, after a short respite, we are beginning to hear of further outbreaks within hla jurisdiction. With the farther economies ordered by Peking and the increasing demands of the retired military magnates and Secret Societies, the poor Chinese viceroys are bound to have a bad time. They are literally between two millstones, and seem to have no safɑ way to The "negociation" apparently referred to were started by the Kolao-hwel men making evertures of peace to the Viceroy of Manking effering to desist from the molestation of foreigners for a consideration of Tis 15,000
The economies spoken off are explained by the fact that the Board of Revenue at Peking have recommended, and His Majesty has, för economical reasons, sanctioned-First, that of the Manchu soldiers, which hitherto the pay has been made half cark and half in tribute rice; for the future will be made seven tenths in rice and three-tenths in cash, Second, that the numerical strength of the Manchu army is to be reduced by 10 per cent. Third, that the price of salt be raised by 24 cask per bag.

Troubles are still expected at Tsung Ming, though up to the present all continues quiet there. The eight young girls taken from the orphanage at Haimen have been restored, says Thursday's Mercury.
