THE “ BOKHARA" DISASTER.
We have been courteously favoured with thei following additional particulars ofthe cruise of the Pallar in the Pescadores-At 4.15 pm, on Thaler, which had just put into Water Bay for November and the officer of the watch on the
better shelter than was afforded in Battery Bay, observed the Pallas ashore off Ta-trang Island, and the next morning the tug Samsin which had been sent from Makung to har assistance, also got ashore, near the Pallas. The point where the Patias grounded in about miles from Makung, whither Consul' Warren the day before. It was the launch owned by and the Staff Surgeon of the Paftar had gone the mandarin at Makang which brought news of the Pallas being ashore to the Thaks, and the note was written by the Staf Surgeon of the Pallar, then at Makung, The Thalar, as previously reported, stood by the Pallar until, at high water, she got off without ·· assistance and uninjured. Mr. Hastings, of the Customs service at-Anplug, who, It will ba remembered, was amongst the brave few who ventured out in launch Tat-was to succour the Bobhare viaticas, accompanied Conani Warren on his trip in the Pallas. A bax of gold and box of liver dollars had been salved by the Samson's pespia when the Thales left the Pescadores on the 23rd lost. The Thalss carded telegraphic meranges from the Pescadores for Shanghai and Hongkong to be transmitted from Amoy. The bodies of the Bokkara victims have been satisfactorily hurled on Felhá" and "Send Islands in the Pescadores group.
It is probable that the Pallas will arrive here from Anping to-morrow,

Before returning empty handed to Canton; however, I obtained a copy of an official despatch from the Canton Zits office, Instructing the Lin-chao magistrate to seize my cargo upon arrival, so that the order to stop the use of Transit Passes in the Liang-kwan came direct from the Viceroy. It is the impression apparently among Chinese officials that foreign goods under transit pass can be taxed to any extent after arrival at their destination stipulated for, and in this instance, as is others ia which I bave been interested, the cargo has been allowed to go ob, but only to be seized and confiscated before it could be landed. It may be argued that after foreign goods pass into Chiness bands in the interior they can be dealt with in the same way and pay the same taxes as nativa cargol So long as these taxes are not differential I have no objection, but my cargo in question was seized for evading Labin en youts, while at the time they were protected by a Transit Pats.
