A Man- darin visited the scene and, having viewed the body, simply ordered the murderer to expend the sum of $60 over the funeral, without inflict- ing any proper punishment. It would thus ap- pear that the Chinese have the right of deprive in their offspring of life, whether they be either

Hisastrous conflagration which not only oc. casioned the destruction of about sixty small tenements, but also the sacrifice of six lives, occurred just outside the South Gate at one o'clock on Friday morning last, the 31st ultimo. The fire, which originated in a cooking house, was attributable to the usual carelessness of the , natives whilst preparing their food. Unfortunately the firewalls, which prové so serviceable in-pre- venting fires from spreading, do not extend to far: as the locus in quo, and when fires occur in this locality, it is customary to pull down the ad- joining premises in order to stop their progress. This course was being adopted upon the present occasion, when the walls of some, houses fell in rather too suddenly to allow of the escape of six natives, who were in the act of looting, and whose bodies were afterwards discovered amongst the debris in such a charred state as to be be yond recognition. The damage to property is estimated at $300,
A new official, in the person of a late Censor at. Peking, named Liu Jui Ke, has been recently: appointed to the Grain Taoutai-ship of Foochow, to replace the acting Taoutai Pan. We are sur- prised to find that a new man has been ap pointed as the Grain Taoutal,-whoever he is has to deal with Foreign affairs, and is held responsible by his superiors for all his actions... As there are many expectant Taoutais in the Fubkion province, who have some knowledge conceming foreign intercourse, we should have thought that the most competent person would have been selected by the Chinese Govern- ment; whereas the Governor General, and the Governor, have allowed the former to take the seals of office. If we remember rightly, Tso Tsung Tang, some years ago, whilst he was Governor General of this Province, would not allow a treasurer appointed from Peking to take the office, on the grounds of his incapacity. We shall wait and see how far the new Grain Taoutai manages to deal intly with foreign transactions, and as he has acted as Censor, we may at least hope that he will give all matters his personal attention, instead of leaving the same to his subordinates.-Hérald
