THE CHIN ESE IN seems to be a
general impression in the City that the Chinese Indemnity
to England and France will prove to be more than
D,200,000, as first stated. In Paris a report from Alexan-
dria has become current that the total to England alone
will be £20,000,000. In this there is obviously some gross
mistake. The statements from China are in dollars, and
these probably have been confused with pounds sterling.
THE CHURCH-RATE QUESTION.—A resistance has
been made by the Dissenters of the parish of Croydon to
the levying of a church-rate of 2d., and a poll of two days
•
closed on Friday night at 8 o'clock. The result wasfor the
—for
against it, 225 votes ; majority
rate, 454 votes. ast year a similar attempt at resi
I.:stance
was made, and then about the 'same number of votes were
the rate, 679 votes
polled, but the majority for the into was only
.409. So that
the feeling against church-rates in this parish appears to
have decreased.
MOVEMENTS OF ILLUSTRIOUS CONVICTS.—Rgd_
path, Burgess, and Tester, were despatched to the Austra-
lian convict settlements last week, in the Edwin Fox.
Redpath, a few days before his embarkation,. had a farewell
interview with his wife, and their parting is described as
being very affecting-. Owing to his feeble constitution,
which had suffered considerably from the confinement
labour of
of a
prison, he was incapable of enduring severe
the quarries, in which most of the convicts at Portland are
employed, and he was consequently put to work in the
" drying-room," where he had the light but undignified
occupation of hanging up linen.—Salisbury Journal.
THE PERTHSHIRE MOORS.—Our Rannoch COT-
respondent writes us as follows :—" In regard to the grouse
shooting I hear no grumbling such as was prevalent last
year. Everybody seems to be well satisfied, Parties of three
or four guns bag 50 brace daily in the splice, of five or six
hours ; and though this falls short of former seasons, we
should bear in mind that it will require some years before
the grouse can increase so abundantly us formerly—consi"
dering the severe malady of previous years, which, had it
continued, threatened to exterminate the grouse alto -
gether."
