THE HANKOW TEA SEASON.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT]

Hankow, 9th June, 1883. The tea season is now practically at an end at this port; our leading chaaszes have gone down the river, and our bund is rapidly resum ing its normal aspect of a fashionable water- ing place in the dull season. The river has censed rising and the current has slackened considerably, seeming to show that, the water is dammed up below, probably by the

The Kuagwo, having gone on Saturday to render assistance to the Triumph, returned to port to-day, the 13th instant. The Kungwe is lying between Collyer's Dock and the Camp Hotel.

From inquiries we have made to-day, (June 13th.) we have good reason to belive that no more Chinese soldiers will come into the Settle ment, either for transhipment or for any other purposses, than the body guard of Li Hung. chang. There is now no more cause for alarm

than there has been during the two weeks that Li Hung-chang and his retinue have been stay ing in the Kiukiang Road.

Under date of the 6th inst, our Chinklang correspondent wrote that two steamers had passed down the Yangtze, laden with troops, their destination being unknown. We now heat that the two vessels referred to were the Chinese troops were from Nanking, and it is said they have been sent to the Arsenal, where they are being drilled by foreigners-Courier.

Owing to the absence of H.E. Li Hung-chang, our port has been unusually quiet, and whatever exciting rumours have reached us, have generally come from Peking. The latest rumour is that His Excellency's ençinics in Peking, both nume- rous and great, were anxious to press him into taking a hostile attitude towards France, clearly THE Company's Steamship foresceing that such a position would be unten- able, and one from which he would finally have to recede with the best grace he could, China not being in a position to wheel her army into line on the frontier of Yunnan, or take any close view of the colour of Frenchmen's moustaches.
