Although the rice crops in Foochow and its environs appear in a flourishing condition, the prevailing impression amongst the natives is that the harvest will be of a scanly nature, At the prise season for transplanting the young roots, when the paddy fields are usually swamped, this year was peculiary dry; thusnot affording the desired nourishment at the proper time to produce

A strange phenomenon was observable three consecutive evenings last week; a patch of the sky over the city direction, appearing one blaze of light, as though the reflection from a large conflagration. The first night, a large con- course of the natives wended their way towards where they expected to find a fire, but up on reaching the locality indicated, the sky had; resumed its ordinary nocturnal appearance and. no news was obtainable of any fire having occurred. Upon the third night, though at a later hour, the strange sight was even more vivid, and still unaccountable. We were inclined to think that an unusually large quantity of shells were being calcined for the manufacture of chunam, but we find that in the locality named this trade is not carried on to so large an extent as to account for what remains a mystery.

With reference to the Tea Market, the Foo. chow Weekly Market Report says:~~~

Settlements for the week; amount to 14,667 chests, and arrivals from the country are computed at 8,200 chests, nearly half of which are Local Packed Teas. -Prices gen- cmally show no change.

Queueless Chinamen, it appears, whether naturally bald, or having suffered the loss of their treasured caputary adornment through the perpetration of some crime, are debarred the privilege of marriage. A native of Foochow named Cheon, whose financial position suffi- ciently atoned for bis appearance as to be able to secure him a fair fancia, had the presumption to aspire to connubial bliss. The muptials were duly celebrated on Friday last, and on the following morning the unfortunate Chinaman was vividly reminded of his infringement of the law, by being led into the city for exe cution. The deceased's property is now con- fiscated to the coffers of the State, and ai the -widow is thus-jeft-unprovided-for we presume that she will threaten self-immolation, and thus Jecure a pension from the officials represent ing the Government. Desirable as it is that cases of self-sacrifice should be put a stop to, we fear that the expense attending the prevention of of the recently contemplated act (which amounted to $2,000, exclusive of the pension) wili rather incline the local Mandarins to close their eyes to the commission of such offences.

We have received fuller particulars of the out- rage which occurred at Toong Tung last week, and are pleased to find that the mill was not attended with any loss of life. It appears that the village in question is not possessed of a place of worship, and therefore the Rev. Paulino Basso, the Catholic priest, celebrated divine service in a pri- vate house belonging to one of the Christians. The -service was allowed to be conducted in peace, but on the following day, a mob of infidels broke into the premises where the celebration bad taken place -destroyed the altar, demolished the whole of the furniture, and, after unroofing the house, Intimated their intention of completely destroying the latter, in the event of any priest visiting it bereafter. A Chinese official was despatched from the French Consulate to the village, and the threat of demanding the Taotal to inflict severe punishment upon the offenders had the effect of the head officers of the village promising to pay the amount of damage occasioned and also glv. ing a guarrantee that in future Christian priests shall be allowed to visit this village, and con- duct religious service, without either being mo- lested or any similar after-ocurrence being a lowed to take place--Herald.

[FROM A.CORRESPONDENT.].

Toth October, 1883. There is very little news to send you from this part. The excitement produced by the recent threatened baillon of the members of the White Lily Society has subsided, and we now rest peacefully at night. How long the rebellious gang are likely to keep quiet It is not easy to say. It is certain, however, that great discontent prevails among the vast native population of this province, not-so much with regard to foreigners as "against their own officials. The new Viceroy seems determined to trace the ramifications of the late conspiracy, but it is beyond his power to do so, powerful as he is he appears to think that by barbarously killing those who were associated with the leaders he will strike terror into the populace. Only the other day he sent from Wuchang, in a box, one of the men who had been captured; and the fellow was put to a horrid death outside the Taotal's yamm. The man was standing, erect in the cage with a cangue-like thing round his neck; the supports were taken from under his feet, and his body left suspended by the neck in the cage fill death terminated his agony about fourteen hours. I hear that two others are to be treated in the same way at Wuchang in a few days but these horrid sights have very little, effect on the people.-Courier.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) AC October 3rd, 1883. On the and Instant, H.1.H. Prince Kung received H.E. M. Tricou and Sir Harry Parkes at the Tsung-le yamen, where they had very lengthy interviews and discussed the Canton and Annam affair, both of which are to have a very speedy and satisfactory solution.

The celebrated "Loftus Opera Troupe" were passengers by the Genkai Maru yesterday, and arrangements had been made by them to pro- duce Patience in the local Theatre last night; but owing to the steamer leaving at 4 pan., they were reluctantly compelled to postpone playing here until their return, of which due notice will be given.

ment after that hour, under any conditions, an infringement of which order will make them liable- to arrest.

From telegrams received by the Public Works Department, Tokio, and published in the Official Garette of the 24th and 25th ult., we learn that the fire which broke out at the Miike coal mine on the sand ult, was of a far more scripus nature than the information we published last week would convey; whilst from private in: formation received, we believe that the report to the effect that it had been extinguished was altogether incorrect, as up to yesterday there were still signs of fre issuing from the mouth of the pit. The first telegram, dated 1.30p.m., 22nd, states that the scene of the fire had not then been reached, and that up to that time the dead bodies of workmen and 7 criminals, and 5 workmen and

125 criminals suffering from the effects of suffocation, had been found. Later information, received the following morning, slated that the. fire had been reached, and it was found that five large pillars of coal were burning. Attempts were made to put it out, but everything failed. Consultations were then held with the police officials, and it was decided to endeavour to ex- tinguish the fire by excluding the air from the mine. At that date, 58 were missing. On the 24th, it was found that 14 men had been sufio- icated by the closing of the mine; this would

At the dinner of the Burrangong Pastoral and Agricultural Association on the 15th Septem- bér, in the Oddfellows' Hall, Young, Mr. G. H. Greene proposed "The Press." He felt it was necessary to say more than usual on the subject: on the present occasion, when an expression of | opinion on the press of Australia was called for from the general public. He thought the cir cumstances which-had-lately-happened with: reference to the press in this colony were 1.—Fantasie Varied, for Piano an outrage on the common sense of the coun-2-Paganini, Grand Concert,) try.

This was a time when the press ought to receive the moral sup part of all people in the country. He thought the law as it related to the press in this colony in error, and trusted that a frosh law would soon be passed to remove the disabilities under which it had to labour. The speech was received with loud and prolonged cheering, and the toast was en- thusiastically drunk. Mr. Bennett, of the Bur- rangeng Argus, returned thanks. He thought it anomalous in the face of recent events that the press should receive anything like complimentary recognition on occasions of this kind, but the way in which the toast bad been proposed and received showed him that those present, at any rate, would not agree with what had recently been done with reference to it. It was not very long since that two journalists were left to cool their heels in a debtors' prison for exposing what was on all hands allowed to be a public scandal, Later on they had the case of s newspaper which, for giving a solicited report of what was claimed to be a public institution, ard thereby doing what a learned judge had called a public service, had been cast in ruinous damages and costs, and subsequently, for demurring to such a result, had been again cast in a penalty, He thought that in no English speaking.com- munity was the press placed upon such an in- secure footing at in New, South Wales. In aristocratic and conservative England, where was asserted popular liberty was dealt out with a niggard hand, a law had been lately: passed to give the press some recognised status, but here it had none. While England was pro- gressing in this direction this colony was retro- greasing. It was only during the term of a late Administration that the Government passed a bill, the Parliamentary Privileges Bill, through
