In pulling ; and so, rigging up the little bit of canwar they kad, a small wil was set and practically they let the boat drift to the seathword and westward, At daylight the next morning, one of the men called out "Land Oh and the good news #proved to be true. They then set to with the cars and, by noon, on the 25th January, ikey reached the Dutch Island of Lingge Rhia. They landed and a pative canoe

met them and took their boat to another polat around the Island, where there was a village. Here, they were kindly, and hospitably treated by the natives who give them rice and some sugar cane, after eating which the unfortunates lay down and slept. After sleeping for an hour or so, they were taken on to a place which they say is called Tello, where they met a Turk who could sneak English, and by whom they were taken to the headman of the village. This man gave them food and some native clothing, for, in the latter verpect, they were very badly off Here they remained two days when they were taker on in a place called Dysh, from whence they were sent on to a Mr. Smit who is flving there in a house belonging to the Sultan of the place; Mr. Smith kept them there for a week, and treated them most hospitably, setting them up in clothes. Before they left this place, the Sultan gave orders that they were to be brought to Singapore to his steamer, the Allan. They were treated very kindly by the Dutch Realdent at Rhle who, when they were on the ship, sent them down some comforts in the shape of little delicacies and some tobacco. The Sultan of Lingga gave each man two dollars, some bis cufta, and some batter. The second mate who was suffering from expure was treated by the hospital decor, and all of them received every postible kind treatment, of which the man speak highly. They arrived at Singapore on Saturday evening, and were at once sent to the Sallore Home, except the second mate who is now in inspital.

NOTES FROM CHINESE PAPERS.

During the late "snap" of exceedingly cold weather in Tientsin last month at the "womens

refuge" at Sikon, 130 of the poor Inmates were found frozen to death one morning, and, at the #ment refuge" at the West gate nearly forty were found in the same plight" the same 'day. Every one of the poor unfortunatei were dressed In cotton-wadded jackets and trousers, which under ordinary winier westher would have been quite comfortable and sufficient to keep out the cold, The thermometer on that particular morning registered twenty degrees below freez- ing point.

Because, the "mafno” of the sub-prefect of Ning-kuo-fu, Achuel, split open the skull of the cook in bis Yamen a short time ago, on account of jealousy, the Total of Wohu has thought f to remove the unfortunate sub-prefect from office, on the ground of his being unable to keep his mer in order, as if the Teotat himself could prevent such an unstable feeling at Jealousy on the part of his mafro by being able to keep his underlings in gord order! However, the fint has gone forth; the mafoo is in prison on the charge of murder and his master has lost his button and office for a matter that he had no more idea of than the "man in the moon" untti It actually had taken place,

A number of rustics living in the neighbour. head of Tientsin, having occasion to carry a quantity of Kaoliang stålki, used for fuel, to Tientsin to sell, were prevented from crassing the river the other day owing to a terrific and blinding sand storm that suddenly arose. As there was no shelter within reach, the poor fellows huddled in groups of three and four bebind the loads to escape the cold and biting wind which they at first thought would be of short duration; but in this they were disap pointed as the storm continued throughout the afternoon and night, and when they attempted at last to reck for shelter in some villages a couple of miles off, they found themselves so benumbed that to move about in the binding sandstorm was an impossibility, When passers- by came along the next morning the majority of the unfortuale men were found frozen to death by their loads, and those that were still living bad barely any life left in them. Nearly thirty men lost their lives in this way.

Weiblen, January 28lb. The "Wall Steet ” ́of the city is in a fever of excitement over the unexpected collapse of two native banking houres. On the 25th fastant, market day, when tens of thousands are wont to congregate at this city for the usual traffic of an sausually large fair, a small hank suspended payment and created such a panic that a "ran" on all the banks was the inevitable result. A fancial panic in Welhien is especially hazar deur, owing to the wide circulation of Wellen bank notes, within's radius of see from the city. For a Chinese city this is an unusual circulatios, and is dee not so much to greater confidence in our local banks, a demand, on the part of the rural population, for convenient currency with which to carry on their petty traffic at the Weiblen market is due to several causes, among which market. This feverlab, state of the local money the most noteworthy is so inflated silver rats, which would astonish the financier. While silver cheap la Shanghal, the rate in Weible, reckoned in the copper-cash of the realm, not been so high for ten yours. Considerior that this isolated city does business in Shanghat to the extent of a few hundred thousand tela annually, thus depositing its dearly bought silver inmiket of depressed values, it is natural that a strained condition of fiuxnces should Crue. A second cause, is a recent deposit of silver (made by the Governor) for famine relief, which the Wellen banks were compelled to exchange at an exorbitant rate. Weather 11111 cold.
