Ing visitors in anything bat.complimentary terma, If a Chinese wishes to say anything vile about a person he cannot do it with more effect than by comparing the person to a turtle. In this instance four turtles were arranged on a placard. The Chinese could | find nothing in their language which would express a greater degree of vileness than by using the title turtle. An effort was also made to prevent the chair-bearers from giving their services. Of course the Viceroy had the filthy plac ds removed and several arrests have been made. Then a proclamation was posted about the city warning the people to behave. Probably the placard was the work of some irresponsible blackleg. The better Chinese denounce it and the officials certainly had no part in the matter But the Chinese could have chosen no better method than this to alienate the sympathy of the foreigners and better class of Chinese from them in their efforts to secure a better treaty.
Such methods of fighting for a just cause do much hamp. The Chinese have given a severe blow to the boycott Notwithstanding the fact that the visit was declared off most of the members of the party reached Canton this morning. Few, if any, visited the city. There was a trip on the railroad and a banquet at the innerman Guild Hall at the east end of

Sir,In reading your leading article yes- THE P. & O. 5. N. Co.'s.Steamer .' terday concerning the action of Mr. Chuang- yuan Chang in regard to the affairs of the American goods I was exceedingly surprised at the extraordinary opinions expressed therein.
Your honourable paper has always borne the name of being very intelligent and broad minded, and to have printed such unfounded words not only do you injure that gentleman's character, but you have also acted conitary to newspaper regulations. Moreover, Mr. Chuang- yuan Chang has, by constant attention to them, at last succeeded in getting some satisfactory results in regard to education and commercial matters, so that to have your honourable paper suddenly publishing unreliable statement, you have placed commercial matters in danger alio.
Perhaps your reporter has given you a wrong report of matters, or perhaps some interested person has written to you on the subject. 1, the Taotai, am, however, compelled to make inquiries of you and trust that you will 'reply and let me know whether you will make a correction,

G. DE CHAMPEAUX, Agent. Hongkong, 4th September, roo FROM HAMBURG, BREMEN, ROTTER- DAM, ANTWERP, PENANG AND SINGAPORE,
Being a drawing-rooni gentleman, diets is the great ambition of his life. From the shoes of his feet to the topknot on the top of his head, he is ordered so as to be seen and admired of men. His shoes, during this year of mourning, must be spotlessly white. No atem of dust or fly speck shall mar them. His socks beautifully puffed, stitched to perfection, his pantaloons, big enough for a Brobdignag, are padded, quilted, and ironed, until they come forth looking like some mysterious fabric of polished marble, his jacket likewise, and his overcoat and his wristlets. Not only has he a head band a topknot, and a hat on his head, but he bays a pair of spectacles and adds them to his already overcharged head gear, and thus rigged, with a ring on his finger and a fan in his hand, he goes forth to make his way through this troubled world.
