CONCERNING RELIGIONS AFFAIDS. Mr. Timothy Richord has aroused the ire of missionaries by being called "General Manager of things connected with the Protestant Church in China, by the Throne. They have no objection to his being called wise and good but they think he is responsible for such a grave mistake and that it is up to him to correct the error of the Wai Wa Pa's ways in this respect and to apologise to the various missions. The Chinese official has the greatest weakness for regulating thinga and the genus Wai Wu Pu has spent days recently never fiaobing under temperature of 112 deg. Fahrenheit in the dog. bouse where the Teungit Yamen used to be, toiling away on Regulations to prevent converts and misionaries from natraging Chinese officials of the Dragon Throne..
