Ja the course of the night of the toth a gale sprang up and watches had to be placed on the anchors of the ships lying at Spitheal, but none of the vessels dragged. The gale somewhat abated the next morning, but it was still too rough to allow the torpedo boats to practise their maneuvres.

On the other hand the dispatch of H.E. Li Hongchang to the Tantai, on the subject of foreigners establishing cotton manufactories here, belongs undoubtedly to the old and uncalightened days. It is not often that the old and the new China is so sharply brought into contrast in one sheet of the same newspaper. Without indulging the belief that the improvements which the Thotai promises to the City will be spon carried out, we receive his words as 'evidence of a good time coming for China.

THE MOBILISATION OF THE FLEET
All the ships designated to take part in the forthcoming naval manceuvres were assembled at their appointed stations at Splihead and Portland on the 9th ulto. The process whereby these powerful fleets have been brought together following terms by Lord Elphinstone in the House of Lords:"On July 2 the commander in chief at the home ports were informed by telegraph that certain vessels were to be com- missioned on the 4th, manned, and prepared in all respects for sen as rapidly as possible. On the 7th the following ships were assembled and organised into fleets :-At Spithead, thirteen armoured, ships, eleven cruiseis, two torpedo gun vessels of twenty knots speed, and twelve first-class torpedo boats, in all thirty-eight vessels, under Admiral Baird; at Portland, nine armoured ships, eight cruisers, two torpedo gus vessels, and twelve first-class torpedo boats, under ships of the Coast District Squadron and four Sir George Tryon; inclusive of nine armoured of the Channel Squadron, the whole manned by 16,093 officers and mee. The ships, when commissioned, were in the condition in which they would he at a time of strained relations conled and with their filled shell on board." The rapid assembling of these fleets is undoubtedly a very considerable achievement, and reflects great credit on the Admiralty. It was only on on July that the commanders of the Coastguard Reserve Squadron stationed at various parts round
the coast received orders to complete their crews and proceed with all despatch to the rendezvous, and by the morning of the 7th inst. those paders had been carried out and the ships were in their places. When the telegraphic Instructions commission were received by the Fort Admirals the twenty-four vessels in the First Reserve were, we are assured, in exactly the condition which every ship is supposed to be in one passing into this class, with this sole exception, that they had been coaled. By the 4th nearly all of them had gone out of harbour, and within forty-eight hours were returned ready for sea. The mass of detail connected with an act of administration such as this must be enormoui. As an example, we may cite the fact that something like seven thousand men were on July 4th marched on board the ships, each one with a cord in his hand, telling bim his station in case of fire, action, or sail exercise, the boat he was to pull in, the gun be was to fight at, and his place in a landing party, the
of his allotted mess, location for number sleeping and stowing his clothes on beard the vesa-l to which he repaired.--

(FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT)
3rd August.
A few days ago nearly every other person one met would be sure to mention the remarkable way in which the justice of Heaven had been manifested in our mist. About a fortnight ago a poor wattan committed suicide under the' following circumstances. Awaking one night, she found a thief in her room. Upon giving na alarm: the thief ran away and a watchman came to her assistance. The woman and the watch man together, searched the room, but found
nothing missing. In the morning the woman nade another search and then found that $20 had been stolen froin her bed--the usual recep- tacle for a Chinaman's valuables. Rushing out into the street, in loud tones she bewailed her loss. The savings of years gone in a moment. From whence now was to come the coffin in which to lay her weary bones? Who would pay per funeral expenses? Overcome by grief she determined to put an end to her existence, Sympathising, neighbours, gathered you'd and promised to collect $10 towards making up her loss. But all was of no avail, the next night, by the help of a piece of cord she put an end to her life, and in the morning the neighbours found her dad,
Last Saturday a grind thunderstorm passed over Hangchow and the thirsty land was refr shed with a'undance of rain. The watchman mentioned above was shaking his hedmat outside his watchman's hut, when the first lightning fish strick him to the earth and he never spoke again. Quite a number of persons in a teashop not far off saw the lightning strike him. When they came to take him up they found on him $17 in silver, and new clothes accounted for $3 more.
Serely, said the people, this is the judgment of Heaven. Who would have known who stole the poor woman's money if Heaven had not thus revealed it ? Such is the story current among the people; that the wanan lost her money and committed suckle is a fact, that the man was struck by lightning is a fact. Whether the man when searching the woman's room actually stole her money cannot pretend to say.-N. C. „Daily Nétos.

No doubt industrie means business and trade as well as arts, manufactures and industries, in the English sense, but manufactures or works that are carried on by manual labour and machinery is the chief and primal meaning of the word. It is not used anywhere else in the treaty to represent trade, or business for which the word commerce is invariably employed, as in that very article. This shews that industrie meant in the minds, of the framers of the treaty something quite different from com merce.

S.S. "WAVERLEY,"
His Excellency says in the first paragraph of his letter that the original aim of the two cotton manufacturing companies in whose favour the Emperor granted monopolies sonie 10 years since, FROM GLASGOW, LIVERPOOL, PENANG,
Course
was the extension of Chinese commerce and the development of Chinese sources of acquiring wealth. We do not stop to consider whether displayed the steadfast perseverance in carrying those to whom this monopoly was given have out their privileged schemes, contenting ourselves with saying that those who held the valuable monopoly which H.E. indicates either thought very little of it or were unable from lack of busi- neas qualities, means or energy to make any use. of it. In any other country such a monopoly would have been made the most of in the first year of its being granted, and not when more than half its term had run. The prohibition of manufactur in Chinese produce, or converting it by industrial processes into another kind of goods, which, H.E, says, has hitherto existed, would' of fall to the ground if the clause in the French treaty which we have quoted, were maintained, according to our reading of it. Apart from. Iin- perial reasons, H.E. objects to the establishment of foreign manufactories in China, because they would encroach on the rights of the natives of China and would take the bread out of the mouths of Chinese, Except the two companies which hojd a monopoly of manufacturing cotton here the rights of no Chinese would be encroached on, and instead of bread being taken out of the mouths of Chinese, thousands on thousands would have labour offered to them by which they would be fed, clothed and enjoy comforts such as now, never enter into their wildest dreams. Al- most every where manufacturing has at first had to meet this charge, that machinery would take the bread out of the mouths of those who laboured in old styles. Everywhere the opposition has been overcome, with the best results to the opponcats of skilled labour and machinery. It would be the same to China. Nay, more, so large is the field here, that not only the two, to which H.E. refers, but dozens of manufactories
might be established, without the inte juriously of the native monopolists being
