A DESPATCH from St. Petersburg announces that a Regiment of Cossacks has been des patched from Ussuri to Manchuria; and that an independent Cossack Brigade has been formed there.
In a recent issue we gave the particulars of a case in which a couple of natives were arrested while in possession of a trunk containing the dead body of a native woman which they were

In West Java the Chinese are artful enough to hit upon a clever dodge for making used postage stamps as good as new. On sticking a new stamp upon an envelope they sinear the stamp on the face with paste or with a thin layer of glue. On the stamp being defaced at the post-office, the addresses can easily wash away the paste or glue, and the stamp is again serviceable.
IADY Lonsdale was to have been received by the Empress Dowager, but she has we regret

Gattred, who is a clever Chinese linguist and usually acts as interpreter to the Legation ladies, went with another lady to the Summer Palace to convey Lady Ladle's apologies in person, and they were detained by the Daw ager for a long and friendly chat.
As an additional attraction for parties of trip. pers and, incidentally, American visitors, it is proposed to equip the newly electrified line between Shepherd's Bush and Hamp on Conit with tea and luncheon cars, so that refreshments
may be served on the way without loss of time, The scheme is worked with great, success by
the tramway companies of New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, and other American cities.
A GOLD mine has been examined thirteen miles from Batavia on the milway from three to Buitenzorg with such promising prospects as to justify the issuing of a prospectus · Sam- ple ore tested at Balvin shows both gold and silver. A yearly profit of 28 per cent from working the mine is looked forward to. Would. be shareholders are asked to visit the mine, and sample the ore for themselves before sink ing money in the venture.

THE Scotchman who always emptied his glass at a gulp because he "once had one knocked over" would have been sick at heart to witness the catastrophe which occurred the other day at Yarmouth. A barrel of whiskey toppled off a yan to burst on the ground, and a hundred and ten gallons of the precious fluid sent up 2-
tive nostrils of the vicinity. The occupants of the adjacent coal-yards "for the want of proper atensils shovelled the whiskey up in their broad spades, and then performed the acrobatic feat. of conveying it down their throats."

THE recent earthquake in Palestine which took place on March 30th, seems to have been most severe in the Valley of the jordan and round the Dead Sea. The level of the Dead Sea has fallen considerably, and now according to re- port, the Jordan pours its waters into the lake from an elevation, whereas formerly it was nearly in the same level. Evidently the bottom of the Dead Sea must have subsided during the earthquake. The whole region of the Valley of the Jordan near the sea is volcanic.

THE Z. & C. Express of the 24th ult, says The silver market continues to show great strength. The scarcity of spot silver, owing to the continuance of the American Government purchases and the filling of the French Min tender, is the chief cause; but the covering of shorts for the end of the month has aggravated the position, and in addition India has been a buyer. The price has risen till at the close it is 231d. for cash, the market being firm with no sellers. Mexican Dollars have risen with silver, and remain at their melting parity.

the Government had advised the Nippon Yusen Kaisha to be ready to turn some steamers over Mr. Kato, Vice for service as transports. President of the company, stated that there was. no truth in the rumour. It was, he added, per- fectly true that the company are always ready to provide transports as they were in receipt of a large subsidy in order that they might be able to respond to the Government's orders at any moment. If the company should receive an order for transports from the Government the ships on the North China line, Shanghai line and Bombay line would be taken off first, then those on the American and Australian line, and finally the ships on the European line,

ON Saturday evening an old man was going aboard the s.l. Perseverance, moored near the Canton-Macao wharf, but was refused a passage to Macao.

He adjourned the case. The body of deceased was subsequently recovered by Inspector Smith.

The foreign bank compradores are holding daily consultations to see if any arrangement is possible by which three million taels can be floated on the market. None of the gentry can be found to act as guarantors for this amount, and an appeal from the Viceroy to the Board of Revenue has resulted merely in a reply of "No gol."
