YEOM OUR CORRESPONDENT,

Tientsin, 18th March.

A PAUBE IN EVENTS.

The atmosphere of the bight political world is an arid and dry as over; there is absolutely nothing to chronicle; and if one may read by potty signe wothing is expected in the very immediate future. I saw the able and distin guished correspondent of the Times, passing through Tientsin two days ago on his way to Shanghai for a brief holiday, and it in a fair doduction to make that he does not expect any intelligence of serious import for's week or two His place is pro tem, taken by Mr. Valentine Chirrol, the Eastern" editor of the Thunderor" in Printing House Square, who le out here on one of his occasional trips:

Their heary baggage he already coming forward from Peking, and as soon as the Rogal Welsh arrive for their relief, off they will go, to the great regret of everyone whe has in any way bean associated with them. heir services in the North have been invaluable, though chiefly in the promic form of police: their one regret is that they have not yet been able to show their aghting mettle, it is just possible that they may yet at the very fast moment have a chance, for we are in a state of very high excitement just now, and the folly of any Captain Bobadil, British, French, or Russian, might evoke a row of the first magai tuds in the mutual intolerance due to national antipathies.

THE TROUBLE WITH THE FRENCH. "Our second crisis is due to the conduct of our French allies and neighbours. For some wooks the soldiers have been giving trouble in the British Concussion on Sunday and leave-days; representations and protests have been infe tive, but things went too far when they cracked the head of the British General's orderly, and insulted English ladies in broad daylight in an English Settlement. Not that they call
