Much has been said about their trying to upset other meetings, but I can venture. to say that it is quite the reverse, as their whole hearts desire is to try and work in harmony. with any other Christian community, and by what I have seen they are devoting their whole time and talent to the work, and their sole wish is to see or even hear of souls being saved, no matter where or how. Our common sense tells us that it does not take a very brave man to kick a dead lion, and as we all know that if an instrument gives an uncertain sound we would not be able to tell what sort of an instrument it was unless we saw it, and I as one out of I may 'say over a hundred who have both seen and heard during our stay in Hongkong both sides of the question since its existence, I would just kindly ask those who if are prejudiced against those dear people who are doing just what the dear Lord is leading them to do, to come and see and hear for themselves.

NOTES, FROM chinese paperS

From Kiakhta to Kurun (Urga), snow fell in the middle of October and covered the ground to the depth of three feet, and an early winter is prognosticated.

The cholera has carried off many victims in Hunan this autumn, leaving in many cases children without fathers, mothers, brothers, or other protectors in this world; and the Prefect of Chang sha Fu, Weng, has issued a Pro- clamation authorising the adoption of such orphans by charitab'c persons with change of surname of the protégés, but strictly forbidding any person to sell them again after.once be coming proprietots, or to bring them up to vicious lives.

The Viceroy of Shensi and Kansu, Tan, baving applied to the Emperor for permission to contribute from the viceregal budget a very large sum, which can be spared from his own provinces, to meet the necessities of afflicted Honan, has received in reply a gratifying rescript praising him for his patriotic forethought and economy, which has enabled him not only to store up reserve fund in Shensi and Kansu for a rainy day, but to be able to contribute to the relief of his neighbours also.

A correspondent writes to our Tientsin contem. porary as follows:-The only British lady of his place, Mrs. Sadler, wife of the Harbour Master, has suddenly, left us. She only came here last spring, but after 1 day's illness died of dysentery on the 8th instant, The disease had been prevalent here during June and July, but had disappeared. The sad loss is much deplored, and we all sympathize with Mr. Sadler, who has many friends in China, and whore good services are much appreciated by the Viceroy Li, Sir Robert Hart, and Admiral Lang,

But all, or nearly all, the ornaments had been removed, whether of the altars, or work, or reredes, or the various details of carving and decoration common and appropriate to such sacred edifices. By dint of patience, diligent searching, and liberal outlay, nearly all the ornaments which in 1860 were missing have been recovered, and are now again in their places; in fact very few and only unimportant pleces are still wanting.

The wall there has to be founded on a bank of pure black mud. The abutments which were sunk into the mud, substantial as they were, fell over in all directions like cranky ships or top-heavy men when the med became unstable during the rains, and before the abutments reached solid soil, the French engineers tried, but in vain, to straighten the walls and establish them firmly; and Monsieur Griffon, the chief engineer, used many ingenious devices to the admiration of all beholders, who trusted he would sitimately succeed in his effort;

The soldiers in charge and the people managed, by isolating the flames, to prevent the whole being consumed but 8 stacks were burnt to ashes. His Excellency Wa Ta-ch'ing, the new Director of the Worki was much incensed, and deprived of his button the Deputy in charge of the section, the apo taat Magistrate Pen Tseng-hui, and ordered him to make good the value of the lost millet stalks by a fixed date, and the soldiers were also punished for their negligence To collect the milict stalks has been a work of great time and trouble, and it will take a long time to replace them.

HE Undersigned respectfully inform the Foreiga Merchants in Canton that for the past twenty years they have carried on business in ailk piece-goods in Sai-Hing Street, Canton, under the chop signification of "TSUN SHING.” and venture to believe that the superior quality of their goods have given universal satisfaction to their customers. In order to avoid possible imposition they have considered it indispensabla to prefix to their designation the sumame of the head of the firm, “CHAN” and benceforth the Firm's signification, in the silk branch, will:ba known as "CHAN TSUN SHING."

Further, in respect of the Fire Cracker branch, which hitherto has been carried on under the Title of "MAEN SHING,” under which we bare. Acted as gole dealers in Canton for many years and during this period our chop, by reason of the superior quality of the ingredients we employ as well as the first class character of our manu facture, has maintained its pre-eminent position in the markets of the United States of America bat lately numerous fraudulent imitations of our goods have been attempted, which has necessitated, in the interests of the public, our establishing a new Fire Cracker brand that will bereafter be known as the "CONSTITUTION" Cracker. It will be recognised by our old established mark underneath, viz., No. 1 Golden Dragon chop and our new prefixed title "CHAN MARN SHING" at the bottom of the label of our Fire Crackers.
