CHINESE REBELS.

In reply to Colonel SYKES,
Mr. L &YARD stated that the executions which had
followed the recent conflict with the Chinese rebels were
confined to pirates and marauders, and that the military
arrangements entered into at Shanghae with the Imperial
authorities were of purely a defensive character.

A medieval key has just been dug up on the
site of the once famous priory of St. Denys, cloSe to the
Portswood Station of the South-Western Railway. It is
a bronze key, about two inches long, the stem is solid, and
tapers towards the end, the wards forming a letter H. The
inner periphery of the handle ring projects near the stem,
which is characteristic of ancient keys. This koy no doubt
belonged to a small box or secretaire. It is covered with a
thin coat of verdigris, which has prevented corrosion. The
door keys found among the ruins of St. Denys, being of
iron, arc much corroded with dust. Mr. Skelton, the archi-
tect, who has purchased the ruins, carefully preserves the
relics. A few rusty keys, some fragments of mosaic pave-
ment, and a few mutilated stone coffins, are almost all that
is left of the splendid priory. The coffins some years ag,o
were cleared of the bones and skulls of priors and monks,
and used as hogs' troughs by a neighbouring farmer.
