The capital ost per mile is Tia. 8,574.1.983, a very small sun vispared with the English rallways. In future all details of reverse and expenditure will appear in the secourts of the China Rail- way Company, in which the Kaiping Railway is Uow merged.
On the 25th altimo, as the reports from the principal officials in charge at Chông Chou and the smaller broaches more recently made stated that the Hasng-ho was in full flood, that the works effected during the winiar and spring wore- being swept away by the current, and that no repairs to the broken bank could be carried on until after the autumn foods pass and the stroaur fails to its normal winter oval, the Imperial Government forowity ordered all works of re paration to be suspended. The workmen 80,000 in number, vil be paid off, discharged, and dis- persed, and between this time and November, when the river will be low and manageable, com12. sei will be taken to determine upon the best! sourse to be followed in the future. So far, the works at Ching Chou have cost nine million tuels, every cent af which has been wasted.
There is perhaps now little doubt but that the earthquake shocks of the last two months were the result of some submarine crap. tion, the precise locality of which cannot be exsotly determined. Several steamers have felt shocks in the Gulf of Techili on vari our docasions, and all recorded it as earthquake.
