The following lateresting editorial appears in the Shanghai Mercury al January 31st--The meat important and significant plece of news that has come from Peking for many a year reached us to-day through a channel that is usually to be relied upon in matters of la haute politique in Chine. It is that Count Cassini, the Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary of the Czar to the Chinese capital, has received the highest decoration which lies in the power of the. Emperor of China to give-namely, the Shuong Lung, or Double Dragon, First Division, First Claes. This Lopour is a very unique distinction indeed, only conferred upon monarchs and princes of reigning houses, and we venture to say off- hand that no foreigner now resident in China has been similarly honoured; even Sir Robert Hart himself only holds the Second Division of the order. Count Cassiol must therefore have rendered very extraordinary services to the Chinese, or they must be extremely anxious to propitiate the Russian Minister, and to shower hadlance reflected light. Our informant soppiles the ex upon the Russian ruler by deputy, or rather by planstion, and we think that while no written proofs will be found to substantiate it, the ex- planation will be fully justified by momentous events in the near future, and to a manner very disquieting and disillusioning to the wiseacres who have been preaching at home and abroad the value of a friendly understanding, if not as actual alliance, with Chios, as a counterpoise to the southward march of the Muscovites,” „Count Cautal is entitled to great credit for the manner in which he has stolen a march upon all his diplomatic colleagues, and counteracted the efforts of the British Minister to promote a dis.
