Asnect Of affairs in Chilli.

rbe internal and external peace Of the
Renublic continues undistnrbed amid the
1;ssensions of its neighbors on the North
and East.
The charge d. affaires dispatched to
poIivia with the laudable object of ac-
commodating the difficulties between that
country and Peru, had returned to Chile
without effecting the purposes of his mis-
sion. owing to the obstinate and intract-
able character of President Belzu.
Notwithstanding the tranquility enjoyed
nv Chill under the administration of
Montt, the political condition Of the coun-
,rv ia not satisfactory to the friends of lib
ertv and progress. The government still
retains possession of the excessive power
conferred upon it during the ilisurrection
of Cruz, year and half ago, although
the danger in which they originated has
ldny. since passed away. 1t is hoped that
at the approaching meeting Of the Legis-
latiye Chambers, the constitutional order
Of things will be voluntarily restored by
the government, and that law of amnes-
~ for past political offenses will he pro-
posed. Otherwise, says the .Mercurto Of
the S1st, the peace of the country, re-es-
,ablished at such costly sacrifices, will be
seriously compromised
The commercial and industrial interests
of the Republic are nevertheless in the
mos. fourshing condition. The inpor
tations and exportations had doubled from
1914 to 1852, chiefly owing to the increas-
ed productiveness of the mines and the
impetus given to agriculture by the rise
fti the price of grain.
Another source Of satisfaction TO the
wei! wishers of Chill exists in the num-
Der Of useful works in the course of con-
-strucron. In the mining districts several
railways are already in operation and
others are soon to be commenced. The
great obstacle hitherto to the completion
of the Santiago and \alparniSo railway
has been the scarcity of Iabor-not Il
fourth part of the amount required has
vet been employed on it.
I he Society of 'illers formed some
time since at Conception, for the purpose
of reducing the price Of wheat and pro-
viding a regular outlet for the -four Of
Chi e, has occaSioned the establishment
of rival society, composed of the ar
gest manufacturers of flour i'm the country
and Of seventy wheat growers, under the
title of the "haule Company" The re-
suit of their competition, says the .Ner
curio, will he to enhance the price of
wheat and to aggravate the evil of irreg-
ular and inopportune shipments to the
ports Of consumption. .ALia.

Dress AND MANNERS OF THE NANKl

DRESS AND MANNERS OF THE NANk1NG G.
iNsURGENTs.-The rebels are dressed in

those with the yellow. Some youngsters
were dressed like females. The older
followers might be distinguished from the
younger by their long flowing hair, The
new adherents, whose hair is still short,
nave square piece of yellow cloth sew;i
to the jacket, with the character TAPPING
(Peace) on it; and also little wooden
tally suspended from button hole stating
name and to what division the wearer be-
longs. They were much delighted to see
our hair so long. After the hair becomes
OF equal length all around they dispense
with the tail, and secure the loose ha ir
behind with broad pin. Not having
any whiskers they have very delicate
and efteminate appearance. party of
eight, after tiffin the first day, landed to
look at the city; and although they all
knew smoking was not allowed in camp,
sue or two were impertinent enough to

the Iaipings, however, very soon made
demonstration; and in one case forcibly
TOOK the cheroot and flung it away, which
father frightened the ilustrious n. -.
