Between three and four o'clock on Sandy morning we were standed by the load and long- continued shricking of singularly esr-plercise combinations of stern-whistle and syres, which must have awakened every sleeper in the Con. / taterfered.

They had been handed over to her the previous evening at Wakungkt, or Zanfong, a lawn at the month of the ungra river, about the same distance from Hankow as from Sangpa, namely 120 lá,

Tseng Lao-yeh, the gentleman of Aries rank appointed by the Viceroy to bring the bodies respectfally to Hankow, could not be spored by his colleague L, Total, from Huang chow, I suppose; anyhow the bodies were brought back by underlings.
The coffint were deposited in the lower ceme tery, where I saw them shortly after daybreak, and it was a sight which will ever live in my mind. They were falily substantial native Mr. Bock, the Swedish Consul-General at coffins, but leaky. How shall I describe that this port, arrived at Hinkow on the arth foat, horrid leakage, or the swarms of loathsome by the Kiangy and on the same afternoon flies, or the overpowering, sickening door?

Then there was the other thought-but for a have been four coffins instead of two. merciful interposition of Providence there would
The recent rains to the province of Hopeh altbergh of some duration and violence were yet atated by wiseacres to be potents of a good harvest for the province, as they were suld, according to an old adage, to bave come at an opportune moment. The water of the Yangtze at Hankow showed a depth of thirty-night Chinese feet, recently, and seems to be still rising. It is to be fervently hoped that a flood may be averted,
When the tiror of the recent piracies an Ningpo junks hiden with rice for Foochow wIS at its height, the dice merchants of that city formed a "corner" and charged almost double the usual prices. To break the combloation the authorities of Foochow sent deputies up to the Yangtze ports, notably Wahu, so huy cheap rice and then sell it at cost price to the poor of the city. The rice has now arrived and bṛlsk sales are being made at the South gate granarles. This has been the means of towering the market price of the commodity.
The Six Wan foo says that li is glad to see by a letter written to it by Captain Pei of the gunboat Yuank'at himself, the other day, that all these tumours that have been in the raouths of the people of Ningpo, of the gallant efficer's capture and death at the bands of Taishan pirites are utterly without foundation, and that It is the option of the majority that the stories in question were circulated by persons to Niazpo who are unfavourable to Capt. Pel nad would doubtless be glad to see the rumour fara out true. Of course, this is a common Chinese way of manifesting spite against an enemy.
The flupao mentions a rumeur lè has received from Chlangaha, the expital of Hunao, to the effect that a number of the literati and gentry of that province have pestoned the Fotal Wa Ta chtig aking to be allowed to lay telegraph lines in Hunan to connect with the Imperial lines, and that the rescript of Governor Wu to the petition in tht as he (Wo Tach'eng) had ant bren lang enough in the province to become thoroughly acquainted with the disposition the pe ple anner him, he would advise the peitioners to exercise patience and wait for favourable moment to carry out their scheme,
