Complaints have been made, by no mean in folded cuses, that able. bodied men have boldly entered offices as well as private houses, and by plausible tales of destitution and want have received from the charitably disposed money and clothes, which shortly afterwards have reached the drinking bars and the second-hand shops o Taipingshan, Not, only that, but where it
