The sickW hich lias bpcn so prevalent in Shanglinc V ■ Msevliere has fortunately not reached ■. r We reported lately that bands of Krs lind appeared within thirty miles of W- tv -i/iese have since retreated, and are ■ersto*' to be crossing the border into Kui \*s[ere the people are used to their Eiiit pfljUnce. These bandittii were not MMered really dangerous, as, being badly W^they always disappeared before the Mps'sent against them. m toxa Shanghae we hear of further alarms »ebels in the neighborhood. ii ie NoTth China Herald says :— " We have M, favored with the substance of the trans■on'of a rebel proclamation which has been ■ted up in several parts of the settlement L- n t he last few da>-9. It bears the seal the Taping Chief, Moo-Wang. Whether nine or merely got up for the purpose of itin" a panic we are unable to determine, is to the effecs that the Kiangsi rebels noo strong, are coming down on Shang- ' within three days. But that the native nbitants need be under no apprehension ; if not opposed, they will receive no hurt heir hands. They are enjoined to render assistance to the Imperialist troops or to foreigners, but to get rice and oilier nesities cooked ready for their use on their ival I" the event of opposition those who h(0 !" >vc themselves are desired to wear ed badge around their heads." Cholera 1 continues to rage in Shanphae. i"fom Ningpo, reports have been sent of a ifficulty"" having occurred with some inesc soldiers and a Toatai. It is said that , ] fl tter, indignant at not being properly uted on the street by one of the former, used punishment to be inflicted, which reted in mutiny and bloodshed. The report luires confirmation ; as it stands it looks ry bad. From Fuchau, Swatow, and Anaoy, there no news 1 f importance. From Manilla we learn that, on the 6th timo, a violent storm of wind, said to be a phoo'n, was experienced in the Northern ovinccs, and was felt with more or less inosity in various districts. Much damage s been done to houses, bridges, loads, and crops. Several shipwrecks are reported. Ie most deplorable wreck was that of the merican ship Nabob, of Boston, Baxter, mnd for Shanghae with coals. She was recked on the coast near Aparri, Cagayan ; ventcen men and one woman (the steward's ife) were drowned, and fourteen saved emselves by swimming. Among the latter ere the captain, first mate, assistant mate, irp?nter. and steward. From Canton we hear that the viceroy, aou, has been degraded in consequence of inrges brought against him at Peking. He succeeded in office by Lin-chaug-Yew, irmerly governor of Kwang-si ; but, for mie months. Laou will remain in charge, he new Viceroy is unknown to foreigners. In Hongkong matters go on as usual. The jium swindle, which has worn various assets since its first burst on the public, is ow likely to be heard for the last time, ustomjee Burjorjee has been sentenced to tn years pen;-.l servitude for stealing the biuni.
