FUNERAL OF. YE.H.

We omitted to mention, in the summary of Can-
ton News, last mail, that Yeh's body arrived there
on May 14, creating little or no sensation. The
next morning a roomy long boat was sent for the
case in which the coffin was secured, and 24 hours
afterwards the boat was seen a little below the
Cumfa Mew, on the Honam shore, with no other
emblem of her burden than a white flag. It was
supposed that the body would be carried to the
cemetery near the North-East Gate. The Friend
of China, in alluding to this subject, says :—" Yeh
was only 53 years of age, and, by the course of na-
ture, should have seen many more days. But for
the desire which he expressed—to see his native
land again—we might almost be disposed to think
that he took that which shortened the thread of
life. Alas ! poor Yeh ! he had such an extraor-
dinary method of dealing with the truth that even
the expression of his pining may have been, as all
his life was—a huge lie. Linguists and boat
people in Canton appeared glad at hearing he
was no more. : There will be no ceremony
over his removal, said one of the former class;
the Emperor has taken away all his titles—he is
no more than the commonest coolie of the streets.'
So much for Yeh! Seven hundred dollars, fromfreight-

that when the remains were landed, they were
placed in a temple in the eastern suburb, " where
they remained undisturbed till the morning
of May
2i, when, with the assistance of some English en-
gineers, and attended by a party of English police,
the coffin was opened. The body was found to be
in a fair state of preservation, though by no means
sweet ;it was in a leaden coffin, which was enclosed
in zinc, and that again secured in a strong teak
casing. The Chinese coffin which was prepared
for the body was of prodigious dimensions, being
seven feet long, four broad, and two deep, and was
handsomely decorated. The body was re-clothed
in full uniform, including hat and boots, and was
then placed, with six or eight silk-covered mat-
trasses of very handsome descriptions, into the
Chinese coffin ; and a supply of various secular
wants being placed therein for the use of the de-
ceased, the lid was fastened down, and the whole is
now left in charge of his domestics, pending an
opportunity for transmission northwards. Much
respect was shown by the numerous Chinese officers
(nearly every one of rank in the neighbourhood
of Canton) to the deceased, and sorrow, either real
or feigned, found vent, in more than one instance,
in tears. The utmost order prevailed, and no ob-
jection was evinced to the presence of the -foreigners."

[ADVERTISEMENT.)—Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—
Influenza, Fever.—The summer months are peculiarly
prone to produce Catarrh and Influenza, from the great
heat relaxing the system, and the open pores being exposed
to sudden draughts. Early attention and effective treat-
ment are always required to prevent such cases from dege-
nerating into fever, the termination of which is ever hazard-
ous. Under the highest temperature Holloway's medioa-
ments effectually control all formidable symptoms, cool the
body, lessen the nervous irritation, and thoroughly rectify
any temporary congestion of blood. A stuffed chtst is
cured by Holloway's Ointment. Fever, cough, hoar& ;ness,
pain in the side, restlessness, and weakness cannot resist
yielding to these remedies, which cast off all disety ;es by
purifying the solids and invigorating every organ.
