addition to the frequent reporta of upon foreigners in China that have found their way into the Indian or English newspapers, we now hear of an act of violence near Shanghai for which an explanation will of course be demanded. The telegram says: —“ Mr D, M. Henderson, Chief Engineer of the Maritime Customs, the lighthouse-keeper, and their Chinese employes, have been attacked and beaten by villagers at the Shangtung Promontory. The assault is alleged to have been instigated by Lee Hoo, a Mandarin whom Mr Henderson visited." If it proves as difficult to obtain reparation for this outrage as for the murder of Mr Margery, the soonerthe diplomatic machinery is set in motion the better. It is not surprising that Mr Wade’s patience is exhausted, and that he complains of being thwarted if not insulted at Pekin. A Calcutta despatch of September Ist says :—“ Colonel Browne returns from Shanghai shortly. It is believed he has not made much progress with the Yunnan inquiry, owing to Chinese obstructiveness,” Prom the same source we learn, on the authority of a private telegram from Eangoon, that the King of Burraah has refused to grant an audience to Colonel Duncan ; but it is added that “ the report is unconfirmed and the authority doubtful." Nevertheless, there is an apparent concert between the Courts of Pekin and Mandalay. Mdme. Luigina Stabilini, widow of the well known Italian writer, Giuseppe Ravini, died from a dropsical tumor, after undergoing 354 surgical operations. The British empire contains a larger population than the empires of Russia, Austria, Italy, France, and Germany combined. The total population of these is only 223,000,000, while that of Great Britain is 290,000,000.
