The Rome correspondent of the Times says; Perhaps the public man in Europe who'bliljeves most firmly that a great armed crash is Coming is the Pope. He got private news `n few days ago some says Vienna, 'athers from Warsaw, and still others from secret friends in the Quirinal at Rome, which threw the whale Vatican into an immediate panic. Nobody but the cardinals, who are sworn to secrecy, know exactly what this news was, but, it is practically certain that it was a warning that war is on the way. It is. believed, too, that a hurriedly summoned council discussed a plan of removing the Holy See from Rome, and the indications point to Valencia, ns the place of refuge most favored:... Nothing more definite than this has come to light yet, but developments are likely in come very soon.

The Pope's original preference was the little principality of Lichtenstein, but the fact that Austria is in alliance with the hated Italian Government is believed to have rendered this

resort impossible. The Spanish Ministers are

NOTES FROM THE CHINESE PAPERS.

The Kwang Pao of yesterday's date states that in consequence of the numerous high handed robberies from excursionials to the Sce Klu fair, which is held about is miles west of Canton once in every thirty years, the Board of Management there, having applied to the Metropolitan Authorities for protection, have received aid in the shape of three armed steamiaunches, under the command of Major Huang, who is attached to the Viceregal troops. Part of a temporary wall put up to enclose the fair grounds, fell down on the 31st ulto, and unfortunately, there being at the time a very large crowd of sightseers, great numbers, were badly injured, but no lives last. It has been computed that an average of 30 os people attended the fair grounds each day.

The prefectural city of Shao Ch'ing near Canton, seems to have been particularly unfortunate as regards doods this year. I was thought that at the time the river resumed its usual level the preceding month, no more fears need be entertained of a recurrence of the calamity. Unfortunately it was not so, for of late not only has the river risen again, but in some cases has committed even greater devastation.

The excitement spread to the galleries. The President's cries for order were unheeded by the members, and the ushers were unable to restrain the visitors in the gal- leries. Finally the police were summoned. With great difficulty they succeeded in restoring order, when the debate was resumed.

July 18th. We are now just entering upon the "Fu Tien," or hot period of the Chinese summer, This is supposed to comprise ten days of increasing heat, ten of even temperature, and ten of decreas ing heat-this at least is the theory.
