The tug boat Faklee will accompany the yacht to Chinkiang and some of the Chinese officials will go in her.-Mercury. SOME time ago orders were privately given that colours were no longer to be carried into action by our regiments. A change sa decidedly at va- riance with the history and traditions of our army, and so humiliating, says the drony and Nay Gazette, could hardly be made the subject of a General Order, without raising a storm of angry remonstrance. Our troops may, at some future time, encounter these of a nation that has not acknowledged that it is afraid to trust its colours to the valour and discipline of its soldiers. If we should capture some of their colours (and this, of course, might happen), we ought to return them as soon as possible, as under such circumstances we could not fairly keep them. When the colours of a regiment, or rather of a "Line battalion," are stowed, away to save them from the risk of being captured, a pair of white flags might be served out instead, and precise instructions be
-
given as to the correct mode of offering to sur- render, or of asking for quarter. Defcat, instead of victory, is the probable result of a battle for which our reformers are anxious to provide; and some of our latest encounters seem to justify their opinion.
ACCORDING to Mr. Stephen Fiske, the richest man in the world is. Mr.. W. H. Vanderbilt, of New York. That lucky gentleman has 65,000,000 dol in United States bonds, and is reported to hold some 50,000,000 dol. in New York Central- and Hudson River stock, 50,000,000 dol, more in other railroads in this and other States, and a vast amount of valuable real estate in this city. His property cannot amount to less than 200,000,000 del, and probably is nearer 300,000,000 dol.
I should mention that several members of the
Concession fire-brigade have been hurt by pieces of tiles, &c., thrown at them by the native fire nice, who were apparently encouraged in their ruftianly conduct by the police. I was told after wards that the foreigners were kept back under instructions from the Superintendent of Police; Perhaps he also ordered files to be thrown at us and authorised his men to make use of most abusive language. The whole conduct of the officer in charge at the fire shewed clearly tint he knew nothing of his duty; he would have done better if he had made his men prevent thieves from running off with everything taken out of the burning houses. After the treatment they received the other night, I very much doubt if many of the foreign brigade would assist at
a fire in the city even if their services asked.
A Japanese of good position, and in whom as much reliance can be placed as any native I have come across, has informed me that the native fire-brigades are composed entirely of carpenters and plasterers. It is in the interest of these men brisk. He also said that when a house is in to have large fires occur, because it makes trade danger from neighbouring buildings a bribe of from so to 100 yen paid to the head of the bri- gade will ensure its safety, but if the be

The attention of boxholders is called to the necessity of carefully scaling such boxes with some recognisable seal, and sending a chit- book or receipt with them.
