Admiral Kirchhoff invited the Commodore, Flag Captain of Admiral Yeh's vessel, and the -Foreign Inspector of the Forts to dine at night on board the Hansa. The band of the Hansa which Shanghai residents so much praise, was heard on board the ship to greater advantage than at the Astor House; as they were better situated for good effect on board than when in the Astor House gallery, close to the roof of the dining hall.

By Order of the Board,

The ships of the Northern Squadron now here are the Haitien, Hatchee, Haichew, Haishin, Feianing, and Tungsher. There is nothing on the board about impending changes, and perhaps all the rumours of such are only political. The Chinese would certainly make a great mistake if they were to part with the only good thing they have of military value.

POST OFFICE OPENED.

The Imperial Customs opened a post office here about ten days ago, to the great delight of both Chinese and foreigners.

It was semi-officially reported that the last

rait on the Chinese Eastern Railway would be laid on or about the 14th October, and that the official opening of the entire line for trafic from St. Petersburg to Vladivostock and Port Arthur, is to take place on 3rd November.

Owing to the scarcity of fuel which is now experienced by the railway along its line, the demand for which will be constantly increasing as soon as official traffic begins, the Head Office of the railway appropriated the necessary funds and handed them overto the Department of Agriculture and Government Domains at St. Petersburg, in order that the latter might organize two separate mining parties (one geological party and one for exploration). These will prospect and explore in the regions along the line for such deposits of fuel as could be developed for the exclusive use of the rail. way.
