RICKSHAS AND RICKSHAMEN,

The ruling of Hongkong is split up into three distinct, bodies viz. His Excellency the Govenor and his lay figures, ricksha and chairmen, and the Chinese house boy; if thano three should units. God help the citizens. With the first named I have nothing to say, at the present juncture, because, in other columns they are treated to kindly criticism overy day. Bpt with regard to the two latter communities no words of mine can adequately describe the scenes that I witness; daily. Within the last month about 100 new rickshas have been put on the streets and are a 'great improvement on the old green-wheeled microbe houses, Instantly there sprung up a strong rivalry between the old and the new and seemingly they are allowed to carry on the feud without interference from the stodgy individual who parades the thoroughfares, with measured steps, in the guise of a policeman.

PROPOSED RAILROAD FROM ALEXANDRIA TO SHANGHALAG

The press states that an English engineer

has worked out n. plan to connect Alexandria in Egypt, directly with Shanghai. The rail road, which will be about 6,400 miles long, will have three divisions. The middle one, of 2,125 miles, is already in existence-it-is in the railroad net of India. From Alexandria the road will run east-south-east over the isthmus of Sinai to Akaba, the north end of the bay of Akaba; from there, almost dus cast to Kurveit and Rassoral; thence through Southern Perija to the frontler of Baluchistan and scross this state, which is under the English protectorate, to connect with the India railroad net. From Shanghai t, Chungking the road will run along the Yangtzekiang, touching all important trade centres such as Nanking, Hankow, etc. Then it will run by way of Shantung. Yunnan and Talifu to Kulong, the most eastern terminus of the India roads. A road will connect Manda- lay and Calcutta. Kurrachee, at the mouth of the Indus, will become one of the principal stations. It is stated that, work on the road will soon be commenced.

JAPANESE SEALERS ARRESTED .BY. RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES.

The Pakodate corresponde i of the Japan Advertiser writes under date of the 2nd instant-Word has been received here from Saghalien that the Russian steamer Sungold arrived at Korsakoff, en route for Vladivostock, having on board forty-eight Japanese prisoners. The men are the crews of the sealing schooner Kaniyen Maru, 63 tons owned by Mr. Takaha- shi Aoki, of Tokio, and the sealing schooner Aloy Mars, 73 tons, owned by the Tohoku Kario Kaisha of Ishinomakl, both of which' vessels were seized by the Russian man-of-war. Yakut, for sealing inside of the thirty mile limit at Copper and Behring Island last month. The schooners wire towed to Petropaulovski, and the crews sent by the Sungal to Vladivo stock for trial.

COAL IN CHINA.

It is estimated, says Engineering, that the known coalfields of China cover an area of 400,000 square miles, while the coal wealth of Great Britain, to which we owe our position as the workshop of the world, dnes not exceed 12,000 square miles. The deposits in the south-east and in Shan- alone cover an area of nearly to square miles, and are scattered over a plateau from 2,000 ft. to 3,000 ft. above: sea level. It is estimated that the quantity of fuel waiting to be mined is 630,000,000,000 tons. Iron of high quality occurs abundantly in several strate of the coal formation.

The Hunan deposits have an area of 'about 21,70% statute square miles, about one-half of which is covered by sedimentary deposits more recent than the coal formation. The coal,is mined in the largest quantities on both sides of the river between Yung-hing-hien, a point a few miles north of Lul-yang-bien. The best fuel is raised from. s-me comparatively new mines a few miles east of Lui-yang, which is 38 geographical miles distant from Yung-hing. Here it is characterised by solidity. But from
