RETURN OF MR. PIN. The return of the Chinese Commissioner Pin to las ye by the Freneli Mail, is likely to have an important effect upon the feel ing of the Chinees Government towards foreigners. We have already at some length pointed out how grave an error was committed by our home authorities in receiving the Commissioner as if he had in truth and indeed been a veritable grandre. and have expressed our fears that if an accurate report be forwarded by him to his Government of the reception accorded him it will rather tend to lower us in Celestial eyes. It is, however, satisfactory to learn that he has been nominated a member of the foreign board in Peking, the Chinese, with that topsy turviness
