But the indemnity was demanded from China as a whole, and while thie in itself must have produced among the people in the Yangtsze provinces a feeling of dis- appointment and even resentment, the enormous exactions which the provincial authorities are unwarrantably making in the name of the Powers can only have one result throughout the country-an intensifi- cation of the hatred of the foreigner. The Yangleze Viceroys have protested in mono- rials against the Board of Revenue's exaction of seven million taels from the provinces over and above the amount that it is really necessary to levy, but their protests appear to be caluly ignored in Peking,

A. true, comedian when dealing with the lighter style of plays, Mr. Brough proved himself capable of the best efforts in the mere serious department of the actor's profession, and he earned praise that was as heartily oxtended to Mrs. Brongh, whose characteriza- tion of Rosamund was in overy respect a finished performance. Mr. Lovell claimed a large share of attention by his impersonation of Ned Annesley, a part that sat naturally upon him and received the best treatment at his bands.
