By the way, I hear that Sir Richard Rennie has left Shanghai in the French Mait steamer and will most likely arrive in your port to-morrow, The Viceroy seems to be very desirous of avoiding complications, at least for the present, with foreigners through their Consuls, and this desire hastaken the form of a proclamation setting forth that the foreigners who have suffered front the depredations and destruction caused by the hordes of lawless wretches, are justly entitled to adequate compensation for the injury done, and it states that the killing of one man fa no mason why the people should act in a lawless manner. The proclamation further tends to pacify the present bellicose spirit of the Chinese towards foreigners, at the same time being issued in such a strain na to completely eradicate all'idea of -fear-on-the-part of the officials, ofthe populace- Heavy punishment is threatened to all offenders. Street gatherings, either, friendly or adversely towards foreigners, are strictly prohibited, and even rewards of thirty dollars per capità are offered to informers who bring the transgressors of the proclamation to the notice of the authorities.

The gunboats are all here as usual and every thing seems to convince people that steps are being taken for the prevention of the recurrence of the disastrous fray of the toth instant.

AFFAIRS IN TONQUIN,

FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]

HAIPHONG, September 15th, 1883. In my last letter dated the roth inst, I wrote. s follows The friction between the civil and military authorities is increasing and has already caused a good deal of trouble, and it seems im- possible, to prevent this jealousy between the respective services. It is a great pity that the French Government were induced to place the civil authorities in power-at least until the mili- tary element had complete'y subjugated the coun try." These words were strangely prophetic. I have predicted from the first that the opposing interests represented by the civil and military authorities would eventually create serious trouble, and the crash, has, at length come. The interference of M. Harmand, the civil commisiigner, with mili- tary affairs at last became so intolerable that General Bouet found it was impossible to retain his position with advantage to the interests of France and with dignity to the service to which he belongs. Consequently he has thrown up. his command and returns direct to France via Hongkong!

This unfortunate piece of business, caused solely through jealousy, is greatly to be deplored, for the Orientali will be sure to reap substantial advan- tagés from what must be regarded as a sign of weakness. The Black Flags as soon as they hear of this split in the French camp are bound to regain confidence, and as their numbers are re

posted, there is a recent certainty that some

severe fighting will shortly take place in the vicinity of Hanoi.

Affairs even around Haiphong are much less asfactory than there at a detachment of so inst. the Resident sent Annamare police, which he has recently raised, to Mount Elephant to drive away some Chinese and Annamese pirates reported to be haunting that district. When the police arrived at their dea tination they were attacked by the privates and totally routed. The three leaders were killed and out of the to men, only about a score re- turned to Haiphong, A few stragglers have however, since come in. If the French civil authorities think they will succeed in subjugat ing Tonquin with such allies as these cowardly Annamcic, they will pretty quickly discover the grievous error into which they have apparently

fallen.

"SKY" RACES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HowaKoNG TELEGRATH,”

DEAR SIR, I was very much pleased to note in the issue of your paper on Saturday last a paragraph, which though small in itself, was still of a sufficiency. place the public on the qui vive anent the much talked of "Sky" Races to take place this autumn.

If, as you rightly remark, the C. C. fears that the "paucity of ponies will-make the thing failure rather than a success, that worthy gentle. man had much better take a casual ramble around various portions of the Colony, between the hours of three and six in the afternoon, and he can satisfy himself, that, if that is all the reason of his fears, he will find that they are groundless.

Astor the matter of introducing"pedestrianism" other than agro-pedestrianism on a recognized race course, I am greatly surprised that our worthy C. C. "did not oughter know better!! than to even hint at such a thing.

I would suggest four or five bond fine races under "Off Day" rules as a good programme.

I beg, Mr. Editor, that your sporting, column will afford me space for these few lines, knowing full well that like "An Old Sportsinan," I am fond of true sport.

"THE HONAM ROUGHS.

·To the Editor of the "Hongkong TriaGRAVIL,”

unfortunate Customs officer Logan, and such a SIR,There has been so much talk about the great deal of blame thrown on him by people who don't know anything about the matter, or about the people in Canton, that, I hope you will allow me to relate my little experiences in that quarter. As an old Customs officer whe lived on the Honam side I think I may claim to know something of what foreigners have to put up with from the rabble, which is composed of thieves, smugglers and pirates.

A single incident which happened to myself will explain a great deal. I am a one-armed man, having lost "a fin in the service of the Chinese Government. When in the Canton the smugglers on the Honam side by making Customs it seems I made myself obnoxious to

same selsures of contraband goods, in the per- formance of my duty, and once when I seized 95 pairs of bangles I was set upon in the street, knocked down and would have been murdeeds if I had not got my revolver out and kept the crowd at bay. I had always to go armed, my life would not have been safe, and is just the same with all the officers who make seizures. You cannot walk along the streets without being insulted, and when in self defence you turn round, and perhaps strike rascal who is inciting the mob to stone you, the affair is reported to your superior and you are discharged from your situation as I was for merely defending myself

I have known Logan for a very long time and he is a most peaceable man. When the trial investigated, sa from what I am told by people takes place I hope the judge will have everything who were there the affair originated with the Honam roughs, who attacked.the Europeans first without any provocation. The Chinese say that they have paid Mr. Francis thirty thousand taels to get Logan hung, but they will make a great maistake as the truth must come out, and then it will be seen who is to blame.

The British minister Sir Harry Parkes paid a visit to Mr. Chen at the Mixed Court on the morning of the 13th, being accompanied by the British Assessor who has so distinguished him- self at that tribunal. After an interview with Mr. Chen in his reception room, Sir Harry came into the Court-room and seemed to be pleased

Rumours have been current in Shanghai during the last two days to the effect that the members of the White Lily Society at Hankow bad again rebelled against the authorities. This time the Chinese assert that the White Lily men have been successful in spreading dissension far and wide; and that they killed the Futai an event which brought large accessions to their ranks. We have not received any reliable news of the rising, and doubt very much that it has actually taken place..

It is alleged that a mandario, an Expectant Chebsion, has taken advantage of the eagerness of his fellow-countrymen to enter joint-stock enterprizes by starting a company for cutting down timber in Formosa, and that he has been selling shares here, without having the neces sary authority, to get at the timber.
