We are glad to note that our ancient acquain- tance Monsieur G. Lemaire. Minister for the French Republic to Peking, arrived at Shanghai on the 8th Inst, by the Messageries Marfilme steamer Sydney from Yaleobama an outs to the Chinese capital. Li, Chinese Minister to Tokyo, was a passenger by the same vessel. Count Cassini, Minister for Russia to the Celestial Empire, left the Sydney at Kobe.

Her starboard bilge, Immediately under the and compartment, was ripped open for about. 12 feet, the rent being from three to five inches wide. Upon being docked she took a serious list, and caused the Dock officers no Httle trouble In getting her properly on the stocks.

A SHANGHAI COTTespondent says that the Hongkong golf players will have a hard but to crack in the inter-port match, arranged to take place this week. And he may be right but we doubt it.

THE Shanchal Mercury learns that another Jaspe seizure of some was made on the night of the 15th inst It appears that information was received that a quantity of arms and ammunition had been smuggled on board the Hazan, bound for Tientsin. Starchers were sent on board and they discovered a quantity of vides, revolvers and ammpuition secreted, which were at once seized.

THE Hankow correspondent of the N. C. Daily News writes on the 17th inst.:-The proverb BR78" straw shows how the wind blown.” And in case any of your readers are still in doubt as to the nature of the breeze, which ha sprang up recently against, us foreigners, they might consider the peculine hehaviour of a interested here this week, with proft, The straw, in which we have been some hat straw is question is generally known as "the Minister of Foreign Affairs," that being his place of his own somewhat unpronounceable title in English; which is used by foreigners in

In spite, however, of these high gentleman who attends to the English sides of sounding designations, the straw is simply the that Chinese Official Shipping Company.

It is very rarely, says our Shanghai moming contemporary of the rýth inst., that there is so farge a gathering at the New Cemetery as was present last evening at the funeral of Mr. Charles -F. Woodward, He was one of the most generally popular of the younger residents of Shanghal, a good cricketer, a genial companion, and public-spirited withal, as he showed by the energy he evinced as honorary secretary of the Cricket Club, The circumstances of his death added to the sadness which always accompanies the quenching of so much promise. so soon: he was taken ill just as the Hongkong team

were arriving, and bir long struggle, the hope that he would yet conquer, increased, if possible, the sorrow als many friends felt when that hope was finally dis- appointed. The Rev. H. C. Hodges conducted the funeral service. The coffin was covered with wreathe and crosses of fl wwers, one of them. a graceful tribute from the Hongkong Cricket team, and it was beme to the glave by Messrs. Arthur Anderson, President of the Cricket Clab, C. Evans, A. Macleod, J. Orman, W. Bruce Robertson, C. S. Sharp, R. W. Shaw, Murrar Steward, H. T. Wade, and T. Wood. Mr. Akcew and the Cricket Ground boys were present, with other Chinese who had known Mr. Woodward.

MR. C. Waeber, late Russian Minister to Korea, arrived here this morning from Japan via Shanghai. He leaves for Europe to-morrow by the French Mail steamer Yangtil.
