The Government express their thanks for the Japunero advice and appreciate the warm feelings entertained towards China. Reports from other sources, however, do not bear out the above intelligence, China's at titudo not being so firm against Russia as Prince Ching would havo Mr. Uchida teliore.

Representatives of the Miners' Federation of the United Kingdom have been meeting during the past week in conference at Bath. The con Terence yesterday re-affirmed the confidence of the miters in free trade, and condemned the vacillating policy of Mr. Balfour, and Mr Chamberlain's robeme.

Jondon, 13th June. During the debate on the second reading of the Finance Bill, Mr. C. T.

Should silver bullion be brought to the Mint with the request that it be coined, the foreign examiner of silver should weigh it, and trat ils fineness. If these should prove satisfactory the money already coined by the Mint shall be paid out in ozubunge for the silver ballion. Furthermore as to the question whether the Mint shall issue silver notes or prepare silver certificates against the amount of silver coins deposited in its vaulte, this is a matter of much importance and requires deberation and further consultation.
