According to news received from Tientsin, the 16th instant, the China Merchants Co.'s stea ship Chin Thng bad left for Tung Chow Fu to take soldiers for Corea; several other steamers were to follow her.
Taking into consideration the feelings of the Chinese Government against Japan since the Formosa and Loo-choo questions, it is not at all unlikely to see a collision take place between Japan and Chinn....

THE LOSS OF THE "JESSIE
BURRILL
SFINDING OF THE COURT,
1.The loss of the British ship Tessie Burrill was caused by the fire on the night of the 3rd and 4th August, 1882, while at anchor on the S. W. side of Tung Ying Island.
2. That the vessel had experienced a severa typhoon which had caused considerale. damage on board her, and that the Master was justified under the circamstances in anchoring where he did.
3-That the cutting away of the masts was a necessary precaution to prevent her dragging.
4. That the jettison of the kerosene was also, a necessary precaution.
5.-That the Master, as neither he nor his offi.. cers c
s considered it necessary to abandon the vessel, should have prevented the 8 men who left the ship in the steamship Denaider from quitting her, and that there is no doubt that had he exer- cised his authority, he could have done so; and that he failed in his'duty in 'not doing so,
That the Master ought not to have quitted Iris vessel until he was compelled to do so, and that in doing so at the tinie he did, he committed a grave breach of duty,
7-That the Mate, John Noitan Bell was guilty of great negligence in allowing lights to be carried carelessly about in the cabin.
8.That it was his duty.to ascertain that all the lights were extinguished before leaving the vessel, and that he did not do so,
9That in leaving the vessel, the Mate was carrying out the Master's orders;
1oThat the 1st Mate, although he did not. receive orders to the contrary front the Minster, was wrong to leave, Tung Ying Island to go to Foochow, and that it was unnecessary for him to do so, as it was well-known that the steamer Benalder was bound for that port, and would -have-reported-the-wreck.
That the burning of the vessel was due to the pureless mannor in which lighted lamps were left on board after departure of the crew,"
The judgment of the Court is
That the certificate of the Master, John Ryder Blauvelt be suspended for six months; but that he be allowed a certificate of state during
that time.
2-That the Master's certificate of the 1st mate, John Norman Bell be supended for four 'months;, but that a certificate of 2nd mate be granted him during that period.
3-That the costs of the Count be paid by the Master, John Rydet Blauvelt.
