In case of atrons of weather, dae notice will be compelled to pain to express the numerous ob jaots in machinery, photography, telegraphy, given of any stoppages and in science generally, which the rapid advance of foreign relations has imposed upon them, ars here given in extenso. Badi und every word is fully illustrated and explained, forming exercises For students of a most instructive nature.

This Steamer has superior Accommodation of body, thereby efforting a vast economy of
a Duster aud space, achieving a cloarness not previously fox Passengers and carries attained, and dispensing with those vast margins Sterardosa. and vacant spaces which bare heretofore charao- terized Chinese publications.
To the flluskale the vast scope of the work following facts are submitted for consideration: Chalzare Vocabulary contains about 18,000 Chinoso obarentars. and Medhunt's English and Chinose Dictionary about 100.000, whilet this work contains more then 50,000 English wurde, and upwards of 600,000 Chinese charac tere. Again, dospite all the grammars and other elementary works as yet published, the student of this dealt language abaniutaly re- quires examples to display the various appli cations and equivalents of different words which have one genera! msaning. Of these oxamples this work contains more than five times as many as any other Dictionary hitherto pub- Ushed.
For pesatiosl purposes the arrangement of the work is as completa, that a reforance to ita pages enables a person who understands English to comunicate effectively with natives who understand nothing but Chinese. In thisrespect the work will be found indispensable to all Baropeans reading in China, and to the natives themselvas it explaine subjects fully with which very few indeed of them are perfectly acquainted, To parties resident in England and interested in China it cannot bat-be invaluable occasion ally.
It comprises upwards of two thousand large quarto pages.
