THE Brazilian Navy is to be increased by the immediate construction of eight gunboats and twenty-four torpedo boats. ACCORDING to the San Francisco Chronicle, the longest bridge in the world is in China. It is at Lagang, over an arm of the Ching sea, and is five miles long, seventy feet in height, with roadway seventy feet wide, and is built entirely of store and has three hundred arches. The parapet is a balustrade and each of the pillars, which are seventy five fect apart, supports a pedestal, on which is placed a lion twenty-five feet long, made of ond block of marble".

A VERY sad occurrence is reported in a Scotch paper. On February 27th when the remains of a Mrs. Greig were about to be removed from her residence for interment in the church yard in Montrose, Captain Greig, the son of the de- ceased, who was chief mourner at the funeral, was suddenly seized with illness and expired on the spot. Captain Greig was well known in Hongkong and Shanghai when in command of the steamer Glamis Castle. It was a brother of Captain Greig's who was murdered on board the schooner Nymph by his mate.
