Peking, April 10,

Tang Shaoy who in many respects is the alles Minister yei entrusted with n soat at the Chinese Foreig Office, has been appointed Governor of Mukden province, Manchuria, a nose appointment, corresponding to the post of Governor of a province in this proper. He thus relinquishes all his Metropolitan offlees in coquetion with the Wai-wa-pu, railways, the Marition Customs, and the Manchurian, opium ndber negotiations. His early departure from Peking is a serious lors to the cause of reform and inspires widespread regret, among both Chines and foreigners; hat sie the censure passed upon him two months ago hie position in Peking, in view of the reactionary infauces now in the ascendant, has been one of constantly increasing difficulty.

Meanwhile Peking is celebrating the 7th birthday of Prince Ching, President of the Fereign Often and of the Grand Concil, ard the trusted friend and adviser of the Dowager. Empress. Prince Ching is the recipient of any presented marks of imperiai.

Mr. Soareras, M.P., in seconding, repeated be atatements already expressed by himself that this was an acute political and controversial matter which ought to be outside the purview

Ia the course of the subsequent discussion it was suggested that the fairest way would be for those to whom the resolution was to be com- municated to be informed of the number of young papers sent out. Sir J: Lawrence said he was quite agreeable to this, and be amended his resolution so as to include the report of the scratiseere, which made this perfectly clear. He added that he and his friends simply took the challenge that had been iesued by the Free Traders, who bad wished to carry a rezintion nakedly in favour of Free Trade. He believed it was the duty of that and every other Chamber in the country to bare an opinicu of its own on all great questions that went to the very root of their Industrial procperity.

The amandment was rejected by a very large mujority, and Sir J: Lawrence's motion was then carried with few dissentiente.
