The Stars and Stripes were flying on the U.S. Consulate and other private rosidences in Bhainoon. At night there were ¡Baminations and tireworks, and the Mentercy was especially to be noted for her attraction and brilliancy. She was beautifully illuminated with coloured lanterns, and the letting off of rockets of red and green colour called forth great admiration, as well as exclamations from the celestials. Owing to a false report, which appeared in the Chinese newspapers, that there was going to be a dragon-boat race manne by foreigners, a large number of fewer boats, say from 40 to 50, and other small bonts wer hired at pretty high prices by Chinese, whe together with their families had been anchored opposite Shamer, is expectation of sein

For vessels undor Foreign flags there is n namorical decrease of 68 shown, but with an increased tonnage of 141,838 tons, the falling off in vessels is ascribed to the turning over of a portion of the China Maroliants feet to the British flag, also further augmented by Japanese, and Norwegian colours. The increase falling off in vessels under the United States,
in tonusgo as explained by the greatly increased size of mary of the German steamers, also to the Scottish Oriental Steamship Company turning over to German colours, which has considerably augmented the connage under this flag: Vessels under French colours have disc helped to enhance the increase, which in explained by their making more trips than were made last year.
