FROM THE HONGKONG "OBSERVATORY:

METEOROLOGICAL SIGNALS.

Regarding the recent death of the mother of the Myagoon Prince at Saigon, in her B4th year, the following further particulars "may, prove of interest. Her death removes one of the few remaining queens, of King Myngoop,

In that rebellion, Myngoba seems to have Tsim Sha Tsui for the information of masters of vassala „learing the port. They do not murdered his uncle, the bel-apparent, and necessarily imply that bad weather is expected then to have escaped to British Territory, berd, where he was placed under alight restrafat, and whance ha scaped to the Shan States and Karenal, where he tried to foment -further-trouble,” and-disaffection; against his father, one of the best and most peaceable monarchs who ever ruled in Burma.. Some months later, the Myngom made his way secretly to Rangoon, sweating, in men to his

service in different parts of their country. Early in 1867, he was captured in a but at Kemendine by the late Mr. Roderick McLeod

and a Burma policeman, who was 'alterwards mada a myook and died a pensionar... On this occasion the Government transferred the Mya goon to Chunar,"

From British India the Hyngoon made his escape to a French steamer and was kept for some time at Pondicherry, and then trans. » ferred to Saigon. His followers, many of whom were in Pooroodaung, used to send him mondy,

Sit was very much Interested by the summary of the Straits Opium Commission's report which appeared in Thursday night's isius and your remarks thereon. The con clusions of the Commissiou confirm, to some extent, a very interesting theory which was brought to my attention some time ago, based on the supposition that opium is much less injurious to Asiatic peoples than alcohol, that to Western races, and that muʻa matter of fact it is to Asiatica the least nocuous form of inda!- gence in intoxicants. It is well-known that' the Teutonic races, for example, Bave for centuries indulged very largely in alcohol with out, as races, undergoing any deterioration that say of the above Day Signals are hols ed from it. It would now seem that opium is less in the Harbour.“ hurtful to the Chinese Individually, and as a race, than alcohol is to, say, English people, taking them, generally, and far less injurious than alcohol would be to themselves." What evidence there is goes to show that in- dulgence in opidám ít speedily disastrous to a 'white man," in the same way as alcoholic intemperance produces very rápid degenera tion in Asiatics. These meddlesome cranks would probably, if there was the least likell, || somowhere in the China Sea, and that a Stora hood of their aur ceeding in stopping the opium Waring is hoisted in the Harbour.
