AN APPEAL.

FARODRASLAN

OF HONGKONG AND THE CHINA COAST PORTS.

We learn that a full-grown signs, cehích bin. been committing ravages for some months past it neighbourhood of Sarykut, and became a terrur to the inhabitants, was shot last week by some natives. It is said that four of the latter The old English cemetery within the walls of who ate a portion of the carcase, were poisoned, Macao is in a lamentable state. As a mere rest but we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the lattering-place for the dead, the enclosure is a reproach to the Faith to which its occupants belonged, and to the country which owes it maintenance. But its condition is the more to be deplored, when it is remembered that within its walls rest the remains of distinguished members of the naval, military, and civil services, the majority of whom lost their lives whilst procuring for foreigners in China those early privileges which have since become so largely developed. There also lie buried there many merchant pioneers to whose enterprise and energy existing commerce in China owed its first impulses of life and activity,

An accident of a peculiar character occurred in the city on Wednesday night week during the heavy rain. A family consisting of husband, wife, and two sons, aged respectively twelve, and four years, retired to rest in the same bed Dur ing the night a deluge broke down a portion of the wail, and the rush of mud from the outside auffo cated all, save the husband, who it appears, had taken the outside of the bed, and received sufficiently long warning as to be able to escape, We' are pleased to observe that through a memorial signed by the Portuguese community in Foothow, the French Ministry have been pleased to confer upon Viscount de Bezaure, who is now absent on leave, the rank of knight in ac- knowledgement of his services as Consul during about eight years in Foochow. The telegram conveying the news does not state the precise decoration that has been conferred on the Viscount.

We hear that a small mandarin was recently intrusted with a considerable amount of money to purchase rice in Foochow for the distressed inhabitants of Ou Ang, where the crops have been scorched up through want of rain, and thus reduced the natives to state of starvation, This amount he applied to his own use, and gambled away. His sin, however, was soon visited with just punishment, as whilst in a state of coma, from the effects of opium, he was burnt to death during the fire we alluded to in a pre-

vious issue.

An actor attached to a strolling company which visited this port a few days ago, poisoned & native of Foochow, and then absconded. It ap pears that the former's wife had been unfaithful; and instead of the husband immediately executing the accused, either by his own hands or at the instance of the Mandarios, as is customary, he procured a deadly Chinese polson, which he ad- ministered to his "vicilm' in "rice, and death re- sulted almost instantaneously. The murderer is said to be in Amoy, but of course no steps will be taken for his apprehension under the circum- stances.

The Second Annual Report of the Foochow Recreation Ground, recently published, could scarcely be more satisfactory, considering the comparatively short time the Recreation Ground,

Race Course, &c., &c. have been in existence, That this is entirely due to the same excellent management by which the swampy paddy fields were suddenly transformed into a most picturesque site, there can be no doubt, and the Committee cannot be too highly praised for their exertions

Under these circumstances, as an old resident in China, and one who once was associated with several of the now dead, one also, who, in common with many others, cannot contemplate the sad condition of their last home without com. punction,—I trust I may, not be thought pre- sumptuous, if I bring the subject to the notice of the general public, European and American alike, there being representatives in the ceme tery of every Protestant people now trading with China.

In doing so, I am aware that I lay myself open to remark, in as far as Hongkong is concerned, for adding to the many claims just now being made, or about to be made, upon the public bounty. But the object I advocate is one, which, as regards urgency, compares favourably with any of the others before the public, and I therefore make bold to hope that I shall not want formany sympathizers in the proposition to place matters upon a more decent and reverent footing

The actual sum required to make the requisite repairs, and leave a small, fund for future main- tenance is estimated at $2000. A local subscrip: tion list wil be sent round, but, as it will scarcely be possible to circulate lists amongst the coast ports, the Hongkong and Shanghat Banking Corporation and Mr. Mortimer Murray, H. 1. sented to receive subscriptions, and the latter gentleman has fusther volunteered to undertake the suitable disposition of any funds subscribed, and to render a public account thereof hereafter.
