Lord ElgfnS Return to China.
from the London Mercantile Gazette, Oct. III
The adyces from Calcutta report the departure or Lord
Egn for China but add nothing TO indicate that envoy

British residents at Singapore, although must have
struck every that Calcutta would be about the last
place which, under the circumstances to look for

visit has not been revealed and is likely that the
public curiosity will be grathed on tho point. The
most probable explanation seems TO be, that, hay

Whether he has experienced any disappointment in this
respect, II is impossible to say we may place any re-
lance on the Governor Generals proclamatons, and on
such reports reach from time to time, should say
that Lord Canning is likely TO be influenced by the ad
vice of clear headed and energetic like Lord Egn

danger to the Empire. There is something confess
