The outlook among the farmers worth of the river is very sad indeed, A story is told of an old woman outside the Taiping Gate whose itle patch of garden was overlooked by the first swarm of locusts though her neighbours Gelds were laid waste. In grallude to the earth-god she went to the bamble temple which forms a shelter for the idol and made an offering Scarcely had she returned to her house, however, when down swooped a new swarm and destroyed every vestige of greenner.

We are all fearful for the effect this may have on the soldiers and the Chinese Government, A pretext is all that seems wanting now for any act, however atrocious.
Last night the Concession had somewhat of a fright, and it was thought best to land a few of the gunboat's men to prevent any possible rint, The whole affair turned out to be simply the conducting of soms Tartar prisoners to the native gunbost to be taken to Nanking. A crowd had collected to see them put on board, and some say a slight attempt was made to rescue them.
The affair grew out of some young Tartars several weeks ago attempting their old game of browbeating the teashop men. One of them was arrested. This led to another attack on the Tartar-General's yamén, and some walls were knocked down and tables, etc., broken. The Total went to Nanking a few days ago to con- suit with the Viceroy and the General-in-Chief about the matter.
