FOOCHOW.
[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] If I may have beer somewhat dilatory in leaving you without news from these regions, your leader of the 25th ultimo calls me to task and I again come to the front with fast, the more important items of actual news, leaving the in- significant subject of the brochure of Goi Min- chin, alias W. T. Key, alias Wu Ten Ki, alias "Ole Tien" for final explanation or comment,
The Tea Season was opened on Sunday last by Alessrs. Adanson liell and Co., the opening prices ranging about Tls, 30 per pecut as against Ts. 26 of last year. The weather tas not been disastrously rainy this year as it was last, hence the test of the season 1882-83 is far superior to last year's.
The Honorable T. G. Grosvenor K.C.B, paid Foochow a visit towards the beginning of last month and had several interviews with the man- darins anent the missionary troubles, the launch question, transit matters, etc, and from what I can gather Mr. Grosvrnor's visit has been, or rather will be productive of good fruits in all of
these matters.
The Gilman Lane murderer underwent a series of seventeen hundred and fifty strokes of the bun bag as a preliminary punishment for his crine, and he is to be formally tried about the 15th or 10th instant.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 1882..
May 30th, 1882. The maxim, "make hay while the sun shines," applies just as much to one branch of industry as to another. Subscription lists consequently have been circulated within the last few days in aid of a Church Organ costing Tls. 300, and an Or- phanage, the result being a golden, or rather should say, a silver crop. And now, to-day, a circular states a Baar will be held at the Club from 5 p.m. to 6.30 ptu, to-morrow, in zid of the Orphanage above-mentioned. Al this probably supposed to make out of tea. There are some in view of the handsome profits some people are people who do make profits out of tea, notably the Chinese sellers; consequently they ought to be appealed to, to help along the charity, especi ally as the orphange is entirely for Chinese-not only the old, but the sick and decrepid, such as wahin a decade or so-at least that is what are expected to depart for Kingdom come" the circular leads one
infer. Of course,
it is no use counting on the probabilities, as Old Probabilities the patriarch of a very large family of the same name is a pro- verbally uncertain kind of a customer to have any dealings with; hence the necessity of col around loose, in view of future additions to the fecting all the coin that happens to be lying lame, blind, and otherwise eligible candidates for an easy time of it at the Orphanage.

On Sunday, as if to herald the opening of the tea season, no less than two fires are to be re- cortler One little above the foreign settlement on the Nantai sile, and the ether a little way across the long bridge, and, as ifto make the cir cuinstance more noteworthy, both tires occured at the same time, viz.: about 11.30 am. Your correspondent had occasion to go into the city just about the time of the fire and the sight ofthe Foochow Native Fire Brigade (??), in all its glory, hacked, as it were, with Native officials, both provincial and local, high and low, and these followed by their numerous fantastical re- tinues, was one never to be forgotten. The district Magistrate, Marine Prefect, and even the Fatai (Governar) himself were on the move-natnity to-night at the Club with her pianoforte reci-

As for the pamphlet being an attack upon your correspondent, he denies the impeachment in toto as, to the present writer's personn! knowledge, the article constituting the bulk of your leader of the 25th ult was tendered to the Foochow Herald and to a Northern paper and refused by hoth, yet, to the journal wherein the objection able() truths appeared, the medium of 3 pam phlet sub-resa, which although the writer there- of said it was printed by the Mission Press, was printed by a Chinese book-birder of this port, is the means of the roundabout way in which things in general are done by people of his stamp.

HANKOW
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
25th May, 1882. Another lea steamer, the Glerogie, has departed homeward bound, she having lelt between 4 and 5 o'clock this morning. The Massalia, which I mentioned as having sailed for Odessa took pcls, 13.927.21 of tea. The Glenogle took pcls. 28,959-55, the largest cargo ever taken away in one steamer from this port. The Stirling Castle and the Glenfruin have taken the next greatest. bulk. Before this gets into print, it is probable that three other steamers, the Moscow, Glencoe, and Huntingdon will have gone. Ichabod! the glory has departed from the Glencor. She only gets £3.10 per ton! This is a mighty come down for a crack tea steamer, but it is through no fault of hers. She was not intended to race liome, consequently, she has simply taken her turn as atea carrier, and the first boats having left, she has to take her chance with the remaining vessels. I believe another hoat is coming up, The Glenorchy, so that the "Giens" are well re- presented.
Yesterday there was a sale of damaged teas. Two cargo boats collided, damaging the teas in one of them, necessitating their sale by auction for the benefit of the underwiters. The Moscow and Carnarvonshire leave to-morrow morning The Hankew arrived last nights Mille. Olga Duboin arrived to-day by the Taiwe, and will give a couple of concerts, and then leave by the Petersburg for Russia next week.
