The year has not been uneventful. In the sommer, the business people of the town com- bloed to close their shops and warehouses a protest agalast the arbitrary and exorbitant exactions of the Chinets Custom-house. A rint ensued, in which several persons were killed, and a considerable number wounded, by the native soldiers. The officials of the Custom- bouse filed, the Mandarins from Canton were refused admission to the town, and for several days the street gates were closed, traffic and business being almost entirely suspended. It was deemed advisable to send the missionury's family to Canton, and to give up for a time the services at our Preaching Hall, but the doors of our hospital were opened every well for the fofinence of our work upon the town that during sach a time of riot and excitement no molestation whatever was offered to us,
