The man was armed with a long sword, but as this was a Sunday and most of the students were absent only the masters and a fow boarders saw the incident. These, however, immediately gave chase and informed a policeman of the accurrence. The The man, so the students, ruter being re-enforced en route by some of the students of the See Man College arrested the man and took him na policeman. Upon being questioned it was elicited that the student in question was in- debted to the supposed kiduæpper for a few dollars; the student was sent back to his college and the man placed under ats rest. A foreigner then appeared on the stene and bailed Chun out. but he immediately pro- ceeled in Fung's house and created a disturb ance, so the masters of the various colleges have met and decided to uphold their students from being molested in future and will attend the trial this morning to watch the case on the student's behalf. 8

Such was the conic message which covers à dire menace to mercantile marine and other beats travelling that direction, far the point two miles east of Turnabou Island, where this mine turned up, is, we find,irectly in the sentèn track of vessels. f course this mine has now done its deadly work, but the indeous menace is no whit thereby annulled. For if one mine why not two, and if two why not more? If one has come down so far, naturally it must have been conveyed by a current that will carry any other driftingues that come within its influçuce, in the same direction.

With the hope of being able to throw some farther fight on the possible extent of this: threat, for the beneßt of our read. ers, and especially marinets, a representative of the Hongkong Telegraph this morning called upon the Harbour Master, and asked his gpinion of an occurrence which may yet be fraught with such dread sequels.

THE BUNDLE TRICK,

A SMART CAPTURE BY THE FOLICE.

The old trick at substituting passengers' bundles on board Canton steamers for bundles of old rags, etc, is agaon in vogue. Yesterday Afternoon a Chinese passenger arrived in the Cotany on board the steamer Fatshan. Belore landing he opened his supposed bundle to re- place certain articles that were in use during the trip and was surprised to find that the boudle contained old rags and paper, while 'hist bundle of clothing and $ɔt in silver, had dis- appeared. He hurried to the Central Police Status and reported the matter: A detective was sent to hunt for the thief, and, after a search, found the trickster comfortably install- ed on board the s.s, How, with the missing handle beside hins, waiting leisurely to return to Canton. He was promptly secured. At the Police Court this morning the defendant pleaded guilty to the charge.

THE WUCHOW ALLOTMENT.

[Fram Our Correspondeni.]

Canton, 21st March, The Chamber of Commerce here has re. ceived a cable from Wüchow asking for 40;coo shares in the Railway to be reserved for them. Their previous allotment was 20,000 only and for this number they have already paid the first call of Sr.

The flood of 1st September last did consi- derable damage to the Company's property, and repairs so far effected, together with the cost of ordinary upkeep, have reduced the balance at credit of repairs account to Taels 734.03. A further heavy expenditure under this heading has still to be provided for.

After payment of an interim dividend of Taels 6 per share on 23rd August last, the balance at credit, of profit and loss account amounts in Taels 413,005.03 out of which it is proposed to pay a final dividend of Taels 8 per share, thus absorbing Tacis 256,cob,' to place Tatls 100,000 to credit of repairs account and and to carry forward Taels 57,065.03.

It is considered desirable to change the name of "building reserve" account to the first named account.

Dr. :

On Saturday about 10 am. the Governor with his suite visited the gunboat Swipe, after which Consul Werner, the Captain, and Dr. Daws, with escort, paid the usual return visita. The boys of the Snipe were feasted at each Yamén, The Governor, while conversing with The Consul, contrary to Chinese prejudice, and the delicacy of feeling in the present case, in- vited the Consul with Dr. Dawe to make an examination of the deceased Magistrate Kiang, Dr. Dawe is very reticent, but it is clear that the trachea was totally severed and the œspha- gus was slightly injured. The man doubtless The Chinese doctor, who attended him after the first night, told your correspondent that as far as he could see, it would seem plain that such a wound could not have been produced by uneself. When giving food and the band- age and cotton was on tigh, then some food passed down, but each awailiw was made with a jerk, accompanied with a stamp of the Doc- tor's foot. such times Kiang would quiver hand and foot. If the bandago was on loose the food would come out of the wound. Of course the Chinese idea is that the trachea lies behind the esophagus, and they persist in saying that the latter was severed and not the former. In your correspondent's opinion Magistrate Kiang had luule reason from Chinese stand- point to take his own life, apart from pressure exerted to the Sinchang case. He had six sons, three wives, forty to fifty thousand taels' worth of property and was a popular official, in office, 50 that although he had a debt of Tis. 7,0 x or 8,000, that would not burden him unduly. He was so popular that any position was open to him. He was successful to some degree in resisting undue foreign aggression, but that is the kind of official your correspondent thinks is needed inland. The British Consul is living inside the city, in the Bureau of Fuscign Affairs, which has been nicely fitted up so that he is quite comfortable. He has his Chinese Secre tary and boy with him, no soldiers, and seems happy enough, though overworked and getting tou little sleep. He seems well impressed with the spirit of the officials in tegard to the settle. ment of the case. On Sunday and Monday with his suite he visited every Chapel, Hospital, and School of the various missions in the city. He desired evidently to understand fully the pro blem of protection and the inadequacy thereof.

The three Romanist places were very large and were all burnt, at was also the smalt Brethern Mission. The M. E. Mission had five places, the C. 1. M. three, and the Brethren one other place, none of which were molested by the mob. Thus it seems evident that the mob was either partly controlled or had but little desire to do other than, avenge themselves for the supposed injury of the previous Thurs.
