The watchman, Nemut Khan, stated that on the 27th, about 8.30 p.m., he heard a noise of the rattling of copper sheathing from the direction of the steamer Kanshan.

Not being aware of the true cause of this unusual phenomenon, the natives ascribe it to the sense of insecurity which the political situa- tion has induced, gold being in demand as more portable and more easily seoured than wealth in any other form. More than ever, therefore, native Cassandras are speaking unanimously of the approaching fall of the Manchu dynasty.

POLICE VERSUS DOGS. To the Editor of the "CHINA MATE."
Hongkong, June 28th, 1876. SIR,There is doubtless some defence for the Pouliar Practice of dog fanging which so extensively prevails amongst the native and foreign communities bere. The Chinese the foreigners keep them as pets. No Chi- nese family feels itself at all secure in the cutlying districts without half-a-dozen of these guardians, which will not permit the most unmistakeable notice. The universality Proach of any stranger without giving of this custom may be explained by the deep by rooted suspicion, of even their nearest neighbours, in which the Chinese live. The expense of this protective arrangement is trifting, as rice is generally cheap, and when it is dear the dogs are left pretty much to feed themselves. They are for the greater part mongrel curs of a treacherous and cow- ardly disposition. No attempts are ever made to wash or tend them, and as the Chinese have an aversion to destroying these dogs when aged or diseased, the sight of some of the poor creatures is disgusting in the ex- creme; moreover, owing to their wholly ab- normal and often diseased condition their bite is extremely dangerous, and especially at this scuson of the year. The dogs of Western breeds generally kept here by foreigners are of a very different kind; they are carefully tended, daily cleaned, and re-
