LONDON LETTER.

(Fram sur own Correspondent)

LONDON, October 15th, You have got your dear old Lt back again in safety, and the bosvy load of responsibility his presenco caused here has only been equalled by the visit of the Tour. Great personages are pot unmixed blessings when they visit their neigh bours' kingdoms now-a-days, What good or ́evil, if any, has come out of the visit of clibër |

man, has not yet transpired. The effect upon the French, apparently, has been to bring the fact bome to them that they have no state machinery whereby to offer hospitality. There is no such thing as a Court in France, and seems the French feel the want of it keenly when any such function as the reception of Royal personages to on hand. They are said to be still hondlag for the proper man is pat on the throne, but the paragon of excellence has not yet been found; The fact is, the French have no pre-eminent man just sowelther in politics or In military affairs; and until some national erials arises whereby a hero is brought to light the headless form of government at present tolerated will go on.

The "Telegraph" seems to be the regular Incubator for batchlog newspaper men for Shanghal; at least so it would appear from a paragraph in one of them that was duly note. The two new dailies In the Model Settlament will, I am afraid, have to raise a dust and drug deal of personallites into their columns to make headway against the other papera which are published there. I wonder the Germans have not done more in that ins in Shanghal. The editors in Germany 10 heartily despise all Engilih "newspaper men,” and are so jealous of their English contemporaries, acd the power they leld, that it is x wander the colonies are not foded with German weiters, Do not fear, dear Telegraýk, German compati. tton in that loe; for if there is one thing Ger- mans cannot do, It is to conduct a newspaper on sound commercial and political lines at one and the same time.

The Liberals have lost Rosebery 1 their head. I think Rosebery's day is over. Ha bus done the things be wanted to do, He has won

He was knocked down and brutally cut, kicked, and beaten, his face having to be stitched up to misy plices and are of his eyes narrowly escaping permanent fojury, His opper jaw is believed to be broken, but, owing to the other extensive injuries to his face, the fact cannot yet be ascertained.

An Englishman in the Mexican Navy was then attacked and nearly braten to death, after which the Frenchmen went down to the beach in a body and signed the Pantech's boal's crew.

The whole of the ship's company of the Rafilar applied for leave to go ashore and help the Eng. sh, but much to their disgust this was refused. The marines on board ibe Peacock were called under aims to prevent the rest of the crew from going there to the help of their shipmates.

English bluejackets whom they found shore, the After doing all the damage possible to the few French seamen, dispersed and went on board their ship.

The cause of the attack is supposed to be en account of a row between the Centurion and B. y. ard bluejacket, which occurred sometime since, when the latter were driven cat of the taverns, The Frenchmen aro supposed tobave bided their ilme and, on the departure of the Centurion, ta have gone there with the deliberate invention of attacking all the small parties of English seamen they came across in the cowardly manner described above.

The French Admiral apologised to the renfor British officer and it was arranged that leave should be granted on alternate days in order to prevent a recurrence of the disturbance, while the crew of the Bayard will have no leave granted when she calls at Hongkong on her way home.

The Mexican Admiral claims compensuilon from the French for the unprovoked attack upon one of his men.
