was reported shot through the hand.

The object of this attack was simply plunder, however, and it is in no way referable to the state of international affairs.

The night before, in the form of Stricture's Mews, Messrs. Maerwen were robbed by their own Bolies, and one of their own halyards of the Flagstaff at Government House were cut away.

I have taken measures to prevent Chinese being out at night and enclose copies of Notifications issued on this subject.

A well-informed German Missionary has reported to me that at several neighbouring towns on the banks of the Canton River, the Mandarin's have, in addition to the wishes of the Gentry and Traders, prohibited intercourse with this Colony, and I have suggested to Sir Michael Seymour the expediency of a visit to those places by one of Her Majesty's Steamers.

As for Canton matters, they are stationary, but there is an unofficial report from the North that an Imperial Commissioner is appointed who is to come.
