Shantung, Honan, and Northern Kiangsu are the most warlike amongst the Chinese and from them are raised almost the whole of the regiments under the command of Li Hung-chang. To the men of these provinces China owes the suppression of those formidable Mohamedan rebellions in Kansu and Yunnan, and the re-conquest of Hsin Chiang (Chinese Turkestan.) Much discontent has lately arisen amongst these people, and unless the Governmen! renders material aid to the sufferers without delay, it is feared that a rebelling on a larger scale than anything since the great Taiping rebellion is within mensurable distance. Only the other day, while this wel-yuan was on his way overland from Tsinan-fu to Chefoo he heard some men in a ten-shop, while recounting the perils of starvation they had undergone, say that they were tired of this and that if death must come, why, let it come while they were enjoying themselves on the fat of the land. The see-vaan sympathized with the men in their distress, as what they said was only too true, for while the people were dying by hundreds from want of food, the officials in the yamens of the famine-stricken districts were living sumptuously at the expense of the pockets of other people.

These are certainly not the lines on which Messrs.

The well-founded discontent which prevails on every steamer in the River may be a matter of indifference to the present Directors, but they may, perhaps find that their utter neglect of the men who contribute so materially to the prosperity, which at least two members of the Board have so materially benefitted by, will yet lead to troublesome consequences.

The Committee, appointed, by the House of Commons to consider the question of grants to Prince Albert Vietor and to the Princess Louise of Wales, has finally decided to increase the allowance of the Prince of Wales by £36,000, reserving to the Queen the right of asking for provision for the children of her other sons.

GEORGIA JUSTICE,

In Georgia a Justice of the Pence receives no salvry, but is dependent solely upon ** cosa for the emoluments of office. Consequently it is a position not sought by the highest order of talent, and instances of "Justice's justice" are not of such rare occurrence as might be desired. The following is vouched for as a true story:-*
