Hanoi, lat August. PUBLIC INSECURITY AND THE POLICE.

Considerable excitement has been caused among the European population hers by numerous thefts and murders committed by natives in various parts of the Colony. Recently & most sudacious robbery was carried out by armed violence during the night. The house in which this occurred was that of a well-known con tractor in Hanel. It is felt that such a state of affairs must be put end to The colonial Press attributes its existence to the negligence of the Police and asks for a new and more effective organisation of the force.

THE CONDUCT OF THE FLENCH TROOPS. The question of the conduct of the Franch troops in China is treated in a long despatch of Jan. 18, from X. Pichoa. In this we learn that Prines Ching and Li Hung-chang more than once expressed their gratituds to the French Lagation for the measures it had taken to ease for the people the burden of the military occupation. M. Pichon relates his successful efforts to convince the French among the populace. He writes:

Mr. Justice Mathew's judgment on the petition of the Peninsular and Oriental Com- pany to have crew space for lascars on their steamers determined by the Indian instead of the English Act has created no little surprise in shipping circles at home.
