The German Roman Catholic Bishop of Shan- tung has returned from Peking, and he brings with him a despatch from the Tsung-11 Yamen to His Ex. Chang Yao. The Bishop also has a despatch from His Ex. Li Hong-chang. It is rumoured that when Li handed the Bishop the despatch, the Viceroy remarked that the late riots in the Yangtzo" were only forerunners of more serious rots that were expected to follow, and he hlated to the Bishop that he hoped he would be moderate in his demands when he got back to Shantung. The Bishop left to-day, and bravels by the Grand Canal to Chi Nan Fu. It will be interesting to know how he gets on during bls journey.
The Rev. A. Favier from Peking is also here, and has been in constant communication with Mr. G. Detring and others. Rumour has it that there is something brewing, but it is too pres mature to give you correct reports Just now.— Shanghai Mercury.
SOME PERSONAL REMINISCEN-
CES OF THE TAIPINGS.
Mr. Grimmer first came into contact with the Taipings in November, 1854, when they occupied the native city of Shanghai. He knew of Europeans (not of the most respectable class) who used to go into the city and evidently rendered some sort of service to the Taipings, as they came away with articles of considerable value-sometimes with bars of gold in value about 150 taels.
He also came into rather close contact with the Taipings in 1860 and 1861, when, as engineer, he was running a small steamer belonging to a Chinese mandarin, The steamer was called the Maria, baving been named after Mrs. Muirhead, wife of the head of the Engineer) log works at Pootung. For some time it was used for carrying despatches to Admiral Gough at Sung- klang; afterwards it lay off the Shanghal native city, and searched boats coming down the river. After this it was sold to a Chinese official, who, as a silk merchant, had large silke stores at Soo- chow. He also awned much property on Tung- tingahan laland, on the Tabulake, near Seochow. The steamer (which was 75 feet long, and only B feet beam) was armed with four 4-pounders, and was sent thither to protect his property, Mr. Grimmer did not know of this, being under the Impression it was still retained for despatch
work.
It afterwards transpired that the rebels had been expecting the steamer for some time, and were awaiting an opportunity of capturing it and some Ningpo war junks belonging to the Im perialisis. On the morning of their raid Mr. Grimmer had been on shere shooting, but soonthe rebels appeared, three miles away, beating gongs, and making a din as they drew nearer. There was an answering din from the city; and on the shouts “ Chang-mic lal” (the rebels are coming) being explained to Mr. Grimmer, he got on board, but it was too late to get up steam, as soon the rebels in 64 boats, with 128 guns, were blazing away—not doing much damage, however. Before this, the head mandarin came on board, and ordered those on the sleamer to fight the approaching rebels. The Manllamen, however, advised Mr. Grimmer not to fight, as it would insure their own destruction, and as the presence of the mandarin on board would increase the danger of capture, Mr. Grimmer had to force him off, threatening him with a revolver. The mandarin' went on board one of the war Junks, which was holly pursued by the rebels. He jumped overboard and was drowned,

paired; and consequently did not go back to the rebels.
When he left the rebels, they gave him many presents of jewellery, silks, etc." They mad to bring their rifies and old flint-locks for him to repair. He in time complained of this to the chief, who ordered that if they wanted such work done they were to pay him for it. The chief ordered that such work should only be optional on bis part. Altogether. Mr. Grimmer was ivested in æ liberal and considerate manner by the rebel chief. From what he saw, the rebels lived beastly and sensual fires. They professed to be guided by Christian principles, but staly ignored all Christian precepts. They were much giren to gambling. In celebration of their success they had theatrical representations lasting several daya-N. C. Daily News.
CANTON.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Canton, August 10th. The British Lios, and the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs, are apparently both brought to bay, by the ex-Constable of the British Consulate at Whampon, With that peculiarly facile method by which the property of the Nation is disposed of by the Foreign Office, without lovitlag tenders for Its pur chase, or by offering it at auction. Sie Robert Hart recently acquired the building of the British Consulate at Whampoa by private arrangement, and in course of time in wardaly handed over to the Peking Bobby's representa tive. Unfortunately when this was done, the existence of such a personage as the consable in charge, was ignored or forgotten, and although every effort has been made since to eject Constable Jones, that officer still remtian master of the situation. Jones bas filled the post at Whampoa for 26 years without qutting it for a single day, and his ideas and associations have become so Whampoalzed that be desires to be left there, in his Robinson Crusoe... like situation. Hb pay has been stopped, and the pension which Jones is entitled to is running the risk of cancellation, but it all has proved of no avail, for the savings of a quarter of a cen- tury have made him independent in his own simple and frugal way. Sir Robert is in a quoe- dary; he wants the place, but it. In now Chinese property and the British Conul cannot interfere. It is expected that nothing less than a Revenue Cruizer demonstration, a la Alexandria, will have to take place at Whampoa before the obdurate jones will yield, or be brought to reason.

Moral force it must be, and moral force from the right quarters will be sufficient.

For three days the city was looted, many of the leaders being beheaded. The carrying about of the heads on pikes for some time was a ghastly sight. The rebels were in a highly excited state, going about foaming, at the month and fighting one with another for the plunder, After the looting was over, a strict discipline. was maintained; in fact, when one of the rebels had been discovered robbing from the people, he was tried by court-martial and would have been be headed, but for the Interposition of Mr. Grimmer, who, not knowing the rules, had asked for some provisions from the city, of course not expecting them to be stelen.
