For months now Judge Denny's 'pamphlet (the King's foreign adviser) has caused a great stir, here. The judge has distributed" a few copies only amongst his friends in the capital, and during my recent stay there`1 just had an opportunity to have a hurried glance at one of them.

Something struck me as novel; it was the introduction of a Korean-American treaty hitherto not published; but only à few paragraphs were mentioned and the others suppressed. The first news of the famous pamphlet cropped up shortly after the Judge had renewed his agree. ment with the King for two years, at $1,000 per month. The pamphlet was reported to be on the subject "How could Korea obtain and maintain her Independence?" which got the Judge promptly into hot water with the Celestials, and Müllendont was sent across.

We have also kept clear from cholera, which among the natives is very rapidly decreasing the death rate swelled by this deadly disease has been about the same as in former years.

Sine the close of the American Civil War the United States live expended £14,000,000 on their navy which is not at this present day as powerful a the Chillan, and which for some, time, here i China and occasionally in Pongkong, was repre sented by an old box which, on being put inė the dry dock had to he supplied with a costly wooden cradle put under various parts of the bottom to prevent her from falling to pieces- device which generally cost more than the bond fide repairs to her hull and engines. It is certain John Bull has never had anything half as bad na this very lame duck, nor even one so thoroughly useless as the Tennéises. In approaching the condition of the armoured ships of the Great Republic there is little indeed to be said in their favour. If the twenty or one-and-twenty vessels of this class, which have been in existence, more or less, since 1863 are examined, , they may all be said, in regard to speed, to be conspicuous failures. Possibly none of them have ever been in Hongkong but still they may be known by a reputation the very reverse of brilliant. Of this considerable fleet of | Jfercury, twenty-one ironclads there are far niere which cannot make over six knots at full speed, than there are any capable of doing to knots. Two of the best can-do ng much as 43. The Amphitrite built in '83 and carrying for 25 ton guns, like out fupérieuse, has never dane more than to knots. The Miantonomok, built in '83 and having the same armament,—is also only a 10-knot ship. The Monadnock is the same. The Puritan and the Terror were launched in '83, they carry the same armament as the others mentioned above-four 24 ton breech landing guns-and have accomplished no more iban 13 knots an hour under the favourable circumstances. The Terror cost upwards of $1,000,000. What, the cruisera which are just now built or building, may turn out it is too soon to any, but the realis of the above named armour-clad vessels have been so unsatisfactory to the Government of the States that, as is well known, they were induced to secretly apply to British dockyards for plans and general designs of our ships, bulls and engines, before setting out to construct a small feet which they hope to find efficient, when the time comes for trial. In this attempt we sincerely desire to see them succeed, for they will be the efforts of a nation, with which w hope to live in everlasting peace and concord, and of a nation also, which does not appear to be madly bent on enterprises of "vain-glory" like some of our European neighbours, and through whem, by the way, we in Great Britain ae compelled to bestir ourselves to an extent which is highly disagreeable to the majority of the nation." The United States) projecte i'cruisers building from British models, in anime respects are intended to make as much as 19 koois an hour; in one feature we consider them a great improvement on our own, for none of them will draw more than 20 fect of water, whereas one of our Intest, the Impérieuse, draws 26 fret and carries probably an armament as light as that which will be put on board the American ships, Some of the ships are being built by Cramp & Co., and some by another private firm at Chester,

The train runs from. Tengku to Tientsin twice a day and is being properly ballasted; very quickly we shall soon be able to take a trip to town per rail. Very few Europeană have yet taken a ride, behind the iron. horse, owing to the non-existence of decent carriages for if any one feels desirous of patronizing the railway, they have to take their ride to Tientsin on a truck; but I hear from an authentic quarter that in about a month hence things will be materially altered, and made very much more comfortable. Of course the Tongku-Tientsin line is not yet properly opened for general and passenger traffic, and we must not feel ungrateful to the Railway Company for obliging us as well as they are able.
