6th October, 1878. The fighting between the Chinese and Savages is nearly ended.

A lot of copper dollars have been imported here lately-one junk having arrived from Amoy with 2,000 copper dollars and two janke from Hongkong; one with 1,500 and the other with 3,000. Many people are cheated with those dollars, and I think that steps hayo been taken by the authorities to find them out. The dollars are like Mexi- cans with a few chops on them silvered over, They are not even white copper but red and can easily be detected.

THE CHINA MAIL.

The following (translated) agreement be- tween the trustees of public grounds at Wn-shih-sban and the Reverend Mr.Wolfe will speak for itself,

"Agreement made on 12th Angust, 1867 between the English missionary John R. Wolfe on one part and the frustees of Tau-shan-kwan on the other part, in the presence of Her Majesty's Consul, C. A. Sinclair of Fooshow, that is to say.

The said John R. Wolfe agrees to lose from the said Trustees the premises on the left, front, and back sides of the Tau-shan- kwan, which are as follow...

of

Two houses on the front and back sides temple.

One house of five compartments. “One shed with eloping roof. "Two pieces of land on front and back sides of Temple.

A great fire occurred on Friday last (Oo-sloping shed. tober 4) in Twa-tu-tia, and about one hun dred Chinese houses were burnt to the. ground. Mesare Tait & Co.'s Tea Hong had a very narrow cssapo.

I hear that the Futai of Fukica has de graded General Sus on account of making false reports to the Government of his last engagement with the Savages in Black rook bay for which he at the time was rewarded with a yellow jacket and which he had to give up, and besides that, he is degraded two more steps.-Amoy Gazette.

THE WU-SHIH-SHAN AFFAIR The following letter is a reply to the articles, respecting the above affair, which appeared in the Foochow Herald, and which we have reproduced in this journal :--
