THE DISTURBANCES IN THE NORTH.

The Intest news from Nanking, is that the Methodist Giris, School was attacked yesterday (25/h) by the Chinese rabble, led by the Kolao Hul racn, and pillaged of its contents and then fired. Several of the other mission buildings in the neighbourhood were attacked by the rioters, and would bave been demolished bad not a body of Chinese soldiers been at length despatebed by the Viceray to the scene of the disturbance, only after several appeals for protection had been addressed to him by the missionaries. Eventually the mob was dispersed by the soldiers, and at 11 o'clock this morning a telegram was received here stating that all was quiet. At the time of the outbreak there was no foreign man-sf-war nearer than Chlakiang.

It would seem that on Sunday the missionaries

were notified semi-officially that their premises would be burnt down yesterday, and that it would be advisable to send the women and children away. Accordingly some twenty-three. missionaries, including all the Indies and children connected with the various English and American missious, took passage by. the Kiangys yesterday, but that was before the riot actually broke out, we believe. They arrived here in-day. Application was made by the various missionary bodies to the local officials for protection, but no sleps were taken to prevent the outbreak. The movement at Nanking; un- like its predecessor at Wahu, does not appear to have been directed against any one body of misionaries in particular, but the French fathers took the precaution of sending the boys at their school away to their respective homes. It is believed that the Secret Society ren have so terruised the Viceroy that he was afraid to move till forced, and this only would account for his supineness in the matter.-Mercury.

The N. C. Daily News correspondent, writing on the 5th ult, says I have been very #reptical as to any real trouble bere at Nanking until yesterday afternoon, when we received warning from two separate sources, both official, that the danger is real and imminent. that the threatened riot will take place on Wednesday next na arranged. We were advised too in a semi-official way that the soldiers are unreliable, the Taal of the Foreign Office out of the city, and that there may be doubts as to the ability of the officials to protect us, and that an a measure of safety our wives and children shonid be sent away. Such a step may unfortunately encourage the rioters, but as our Consuls have so far been unable to furnish us a gunboat, and there are not hulks here to flee to, as at the open paris, it seems unwise to neglect this warblog and advice. Consequently the ladies and children are planning to leave the city to-day, The male part of the community, will, with one or two unavoidable exceptions, remain here. We look daily for the Palos.

When the residents at Nanking found it necessary to leave that city on Monday (zgth) at noon, the rioters did not attempt to molest them, but allowed them to go away quietly, Nobody even called them foreign devils during their long journey to the river. There was a disturbance at the M. E. Mission, but the foreigners were not personally molested. Of what happened afterwards, later in the afternoon, we have not yet had full particulars. The French priests, fearing that their telegrams to Shanghal Would not reach their destimation, sent one of their number on to Chinkiang,,

A telegram was received from Nanking by the Mercury, on Tuesday evening last :-

All quiet. Several important arrests have been made. The Viceroy has been most prompt fa using vigorous measures. It is rumoured that more trouble may be expected.

Trouble is anticipated at Kinkiang, and same of the residents are sending their valuables to Shanghai On Sunday (24th), the fir and Vipère were at Klukiang. The Linnet_was no Chinking, and the Inconstant was below Wuhu with two Chinese gunboats, the Swift t

The new Taatai at Chinkiang recently issued a proclamation forbidding the holding of the annual festival which was to be celebrated no the 27th. The proclamation was disregarded. however, and the festival held,

A RUSSIAN EMIGRANT: SHIP,

The Russian transport Kostroma arrived at Singapore on the rt ult., having on board, in addition to some two hundred toldiers and cabin passengers, 887 peasants bound to Vladivostock to assist in the colonization of Siberis. The | Kastroma proceeded to the Borneo Wharf to take in coals. She is a fine looking steamer of 2,780 tons register, and is unarmed.

The Shanghai Magistrate, says the Mercury of the same day, bas formed another proclama tion threatening the natives with severe penalties in case they are guilty of any acts of hostility toward Foreigners, particularly towards als alonaries of ali denominations. This is is consequence of a further batch of threatening placards directed against missionaries and of a revolting nature having been posted both here and at Sicawel. From the outlying missionary stations many of the ladies have come into the Settlement today, as this is the date mex. tioned to all the placards as fixed for the distur= | bance. But the four foreign men-of-war in port, and the Volunteers on the warpath, and last but not least, the prospect of a downpour of rain to-night, we think the programme will have to be unavoidably postponed for the present.

Volunteers were reminded by the N. C. Daily News of Wednesday last, of the importance of

The crew, in their fosely fitting garments and top boots, look sturdy and powerfully bullt fellows. The emigrants are as quaint-locking specimens of humanity's can well be conceived, and were a source of wonder and amusement to the Asiaties. The peasants did not app:ar to be unduly curious, and remained for the most part in the vicinity of the wharves. The men and women seem to bein fairly equal proportions, while there are a large number face, gesture, and clothing. They are in their of children. These poor people are uncouth in national costume, and it is hard to believe in the majority of cases that they have changed their apparel since leaving Odessa. Cue of the best things that strike the observer is the apparent absolute lack of cleanliness among them. Their faces are literally begrimed, "their clothes absolutely filthy. A few of the women id get a few dirty clothes from somewhere, and with their skirts tucked up in the fashion adopted by a native when he wants to wade thigh-deep, were busily washing them in the salt water. These Russian peasant women are not without restraint, and their exposure of their prudish; they let the front of their blouses fly open lower limbs is reckless and general; and coming back by way of the Keppel Road we saw several of them bathing in the lagoon, with some of the men, in a state of nudity. Lanin's article in the

Fortnightly Review a while ago was received more or less incredulously; those who vislied the Kostroma This morning will place faith in his assertions, so far at least as the peasant

classes are concerned.

One could not but be struck too with the vacant and utterly expressionless faces of many of these future colonists. Centuries of degrada ton and ignorance have done their work and there is less intelligence displayed in the face of the average Russian peasant than there is in that of a trained chimpanzee; and it was painful to notice that this dejected appearance, which reminded us forcibly of the expression of a jaded animal, was apparent in a large measure in the smallest of the children. At about 10 45 a petty officer came asbare and shouted out some order at the emigrants, and without the least show of spirit, they huddled back to the ship like a flock of hard-driven sheep. -
