When coaling on the gth inst. the battleship Vengeance commenced work at 8.55 am, and Inished at 155 p.m. During this time 40 minutes were taken up for meats, which gives a total of 5 hours 20 minutes work, and 1,500 tons of coals were stowed in the bunkers. This constitutes, we believe, a cooling record for battleships.

THROUGH MANCHURIA. "I am," said our informant, "still under the impression of my journey through Manchuria an impression that leaves no doubt that the Russians have come there to stay. One is struck by the case with which they have established their administration there and the attitude of the population in considering their domination as a chose acceptée. That they, are thoroughly at home there, and that the best of relations exist between the people and their new masters cannot be doubted, and this I think is largely to be attributed to the fact that Russia has been extremely wise in composing her larger garri- sens entirely of her Trans-Baikal troops. These are by birth, Custom and tongue, of Manchu origio and consequently fraternise at once with the inhabitants.. I ficquently noticed in the towns that the infantrymen and Cossacks of these régiments were on the best of terms with the people; conversing and corousing together and joining in the same games and sports. Besides, the action of the Russian-Government in erect- ing massive and costly stations, barracks and uther public buildings, in the numerous towns along the line, gives to their occupation a sense
