Advices have been received from Hong Kong to the effect that the Chinese who worn refused a landing here, and who were sent back by the Changsha, upon their arrival at Hong Kong demanded from the agents for the steamer a return of their passage money.

The latter were brought before the Court, but only nominal (hies were inflicted. London , , August 7.
