NOTES AND COMMENTS. Confirmation of the telegram received on the 6th instant from our Tientsin cores. pondent has at last arrived, but by a rather roundabout way, for we find the following, telegram published in Saigon
papers:-
PARIS, 2nd October.
"A mob at Peking threw stones and mud at Mr. MERTIMORE, of the British Lega-. tion, and wounded the Chinese Secretary of the American Legation."
No mention is made however of the assault upon the three ladies as reported by our correspondent, and on referring to the Directory we find that the Chinese Secretary of of the United States Legation is Mr. CHESHIRE. Mr. Lower, the gentle- man mentioned as being assaulted in our correspondent's telegram, is the Second Secretary of the United States Legation. so there is a probability of the names hav ing got mixed somehow. It is strange that no news of the assault should have reached Shanghai so far, but this only tends to show how difficult it is to distribute news in China and how it may be several weeks before the true state of affairs can be learnt a few miles from the scene of an oc-
currence.

SIR Heary Blake, G.C.M.G., the new Governor el Hongkong, will leave for the Far East, per P. and O. steamer Australla, leaving London on October 2013.

THE Chinese Government is not as yet d'ipated to lease to the King of the Belgians the stlp of teriltory ke has asked for, though bis application is backed by a strongly-worded request from the Peking Hakow Rallway Syndicate.
