It will thus be seen that in the English team there are seven men from the 27th, one from the A. H. O., one from the Police, and gnò vivillan ; in the Irish there are plue from the Military, only one of the Police and no cvlllan; while in the Scotch team there are six from the Polloe, three civilians, and only one from the Military. The match thus assumes another character than a contest between English, Scotch and Irish as to who are the best shote. The terms are these: each rifle pays $5, osob member of the winning team has his stake return ed; the $100 forfeited by the losing teams is sunk in incidental expenses and refresh. ments, 25 per cent for the former and 75 per cent for the latter, if any curious one wants to know. It has been very sensibly proposed that the $50 earned (à dollar saved is a dollar carned) by the winning team should be invested in some suitablemomento of the victory: say tan small medals of an ap

Tapp, who was proceeding to China in charge of the Wuhu, the new steamer belonging to the China Navigation Co. which arrived here the other day, and went on to Shanghai: he was seized with paralysis whilst sitting at table at Port Said, and he left the ship there, she bontinuing her voyage under com- mand of the chief mate.

THE Consul General for the Netherlands Government received official Intimation from the Resident of Rhio this morning, says the Singapore paper of the 14th, that be Prince of Orange, the heir to the throne of Holland, is dead. The Prince was born in 1840, and was therefore in his 39th year. Directly after the intelligence was received, the flag at the Dutch Consulate was placod at half-mast, and soon afterwards the Dutch ships in the harbour placed their flags similarly. Death has been busy lately with the Dutch royal family.

The sovereign attached to the several watch chains of the Scotch team the Tug of War are marvels of Testuese, and every one knows that it is ten thousand times less for the profit of the concern than for the "glory" that any one engages in these contests. The only diffi eulty is that if, say, the Irish team won, or the English either, the greater number of them, being soldiers, would not be allowed to wear the medal. They might have a "oup" with their names engraved on it to hand down in the regiment; but then it is not an exclusively regimental honour, Therefore the agreement is made that the winning team shall have their $5 to do with it as seemeth fit in their own eyes. We shall be sorry to hear that no token or remembrance is provided of the struggle in which not only the shooting capabilities of those more immediately concerned are at stake, but the representative strength of their countries as well.

An enormous fuss is being made by the Shangbal Courier about Its new daily memo. The idea has not a tinge of a claim to ori ginality; we introduced it here some ten or twelve years ago. It is not unlikely our contemporary has taken the "memo" idea (and a very good and sensible one it is) from our columns.

In the afternoon the General and a few gentlemen of his suite went to the Tung. Yaman. On arrival the General was received very courteously by Feinde Kung, the Regent of the Empire, on the threshold of a grand Ball used only on extraordinary coassions, in which Hall an exquisite collation (Chinese style) was pre pared. The conversation, which lasted acter, Prince Kung and the ex-President over an hour, was of a very cordial char talking together in a very friendly way. General Grant told Prince Eung very plain- by that the sooner China adopts modern innovations, such as railroads and tele graphe, the better it will be for the country and for her countless millions of people.. On leaving, at 4.80, the General was met at the gate by Dr W. A. P. Martin, the President of the Poking college, and con- duoted to the Examination Hall, where all the Europeans and Chiness professors, four proctors and one hundred Chinese students in gala dress, were waiting. After dus marks of respect and esteem had been paid to him, a Chinese student, named Wen Bu, a member of a Manohu family, read an when elaborate address composed by the students themselves. General Grant made a short reply and expressed his satisfaction to Dr Martin. About five o'clock Dr Martin con ducted the General through the variou departments of the College,
