Gérard, on his successes with the Trung Yamen, and It is thered re with more pleasure than usual that wo antennce that M. Gérard has prevailed on the Crinese Government to rebad the French Cathedral in the Tientsin Cly. This edifice
was burnt down by a mob during the time of the mass cre of the French missionaries in 1870, and since that dale the min bas stood there, a reproach to every ciziilsed man who passed the spot, as it could not but be regarded as a monu-- ment of PORTenged barbariam. The Cathedral will be a very handsome structure, with yellow- Wed root. We are sure that all our readers will join us in our congratulations to M. Gérard on this service to mil civilized nations.
THE Shanghal Monicipal Council decided to abandon the ratepayers' meeting that it was proposed to bold on the and instant to consider the question of an lasue of dollar totes. The intimation that the Chartered Bank was about to make an issue of dollar notes caused the Council to come to this decision. The pubile convenlerce was one of the main inducements to the Council to undertake the lasue; there was a very widely-f: want which the Char tered Bank will now 10pp y, and the necessity for a large paper currency being thus met, and It being not imposible at another Bank will 'follow the Chartered Bank's "example, the Cospeil have, according to the N.

For the Japanere 'miliance with England, then so much talked of, was a dream, a dream In which we romantically and very strangely deceived ourselves, at the ilme folsting a delusion (but not forin) upon the head, and miscalcolat. ing Japanese. We do not make alliances, At any rate, we do not for our lives make fighting allances, and of course no other would be worth a farthing to the Japanese. That one fact settled the whole matter. A Gigment last year, such an understanding was this year an impossibility. The game has been Russia's own from the day when our abstention policy came lato play. This means that Japan is quite in Russian hands, and will so remain "maless and until the selaisons of the European
Powers are entirely altered.
