Two males and one female were the cause of rather a large crowd gathering on the Bund to-day. They went to a house and demanded money; this was given to them, but we suppose it was not as much as they expected, so they commenced making a great noise, the feniale every now and then relieving the two males with her shrill voice. Our reporter pushed his way through the crowd, and as soon as the refugees saw him they commenced as follows.

September 16th, 1882. Yesterday evening at 7.10 p.m. a heavy gale with rain and lightning passed over this, it lasted till 10.20 p.in. it has blown down E.B.M. Con- sulate flagstaff, breaking a number of trees.
About Boo li from here, at Ling Ching-fu, the Shanghai telegraph line has been out of order since Thursday; the battery there has been broken and till it in repaired the line cannot be worked.

It is said that, although H.E. Li considered that his influence and power would be sufficient to subdue the Dai In Kün and therefore order-
·ed him back from Tungchow, be finds out that the old gentleman is too much for bin as he was for H.E. Chang, although Li had his programme ready he arrives at the conclusion that the best thing to do is to send him to Peking and let them try what they can do. The Chinese say the Dal In Kün has right on his side and therefore Li fears him and cannot do as he thought he could.
words, "As for myself, I swear before the whole torious," can only be realised by those who have been locked up in a besieged town for monthie, and have at last drunk in the welcome and in- spiriting words of a man who promised to deliver them from a hated foe. The fighting at Champigny lasted three days, and General Ducrot's men bé- haved with great bravery, At one inoment the report was circulated that the brave Ducrot, after prodigies of valour, had really broken through the Prussian lines, and that he had been victorious. The intense joy caused by this rumour, too confidently believed in, was, however, followed, when even- ing bad waned into night, by the gloomy tidings that the French had recrossed the Marne. On the 19th January, 1871, when a sortie was made in the direction of Montretout and Buzenval, General Ducret's troops arrived on the scene of action two hours behind time. After the capitulation the General was elected member of the National Assembly on the 5th of February, 1871, but resigned his scat on the 20th of November, 1872. After having being appointed to the command of the 8th Army Corps, he retired from active service in 1873. Since then he has lived quicily at Versailles. The General in his will has ex- pressed the desire that his funeral may take place without any military honours.—Standard”.
