Our Shanghat morning contemporary says that France is organising in Shanghai a political, king, under the leadership of Mr. Haas, French geographical, and commercial mission to Chung- Censul at Hankow, who has just returned from leave, and that it is to start after the arrival from home of the next French mail, by which some. additional members of the mission are expected. An Interpreter from the French Consaiste General in Shanghal is to be one of the party. SERGEANT NIVEN, of the Water Police, is the latest candidate for the "Belly]" medal.

The animal was speedily secured and bouled aboard, and the Sergeant congratul.ted on his plucky act.
