NEW YORK, September II.
The last news from Chins, it will be re-
membered, was that the Lscpeng rebellion
was extinguished, but that anothar rebel
lion had arisen and that Pekin had bean
captured by this second lot who are called
after the name of their leader Niefsner.
In this crisis the London Times urgent
ly presses upon the English government
the wisdom of remaining neutral.
The Pail Mall Gszstte, however, which
has very much of an official character,
publishes the following significant article
in spite of contradictory opinion express
ed in this mornings Times. We believe
that its fall would be one. great event OF
history, and wo1ld be followed either by
foreign interference, or permanent disrup-
lion of the Chinese Empire.
The Times argues that each Mandarin
would keep on governing, which is par
tally true, but would be responsible for all
the Msndarins, besides if We do not inter-
vene Prussia will and Russia has large
feet in the Yellow sea, movable artillery
on Amoor, regular garrison at Petrspa-
kowski and a cavalry force of at least
30 900 men within 200 miles of the Chinese
frontier.

JUARRZ.
1t is true that information was received
here, not long ago, that President Juarez
had As1 to FL Psso, from Chihuhua, but
from the tenor of the same sdvices it does
not follow that the fortunes of the Liberals

SPURIOUS NOT ..
The issue of spurious 800 compound in
crest notes, and other counterfeits, show
he importance of the government issuing
paper especially adapted to genuine issues,
which is now manufactured in the Treas
1ry building. A large quantity of note
paper is purchased on the same
open market to which counterfeits has
ACCESS. The Treasury Department expects
to manufacture sufficient guam
.ity for all its uses, and of character not
liable to besuccessfully countsrfeited.
THE STOLEN RoEDs.
NEW YORK, September II.
Recent developments show conclusively
that the stolen government bonds have been
disposed of to innocent persons by Altering
The numbers theref. Some of the bonds
purchased were of this character.
The alterations sre very skilfully made, and
are likely to escape notice unless closely
scru.inizsd. 1t is done by adding figure
before or after the number of the bond and
sitter each coupon. The losses of these
bonds by theft are becoming SO frequent
that it behooves every one to be on his
guard against imposters.
FIRE.
AUGUSTA, Ne, September II.
The most destructive fire that ever oc-
CURED ia Maine, swept through this city
this morning. The entire business portion
of the city extending from the Passenger
Bridge to Winthrop street, and from the
river to above the railroad track, is in ruins.
The fire broke out on Water street. and
spread rapidly in sll directions. The ut
most efforts of the fremen could only con-
fine its destructive progress to the limits
mentioned. Every lawyers office, all the
banks, two hotels, the post Office express,
and telegraph offices, all the dry goods,
book and clothing stores in the city, the
United States Quartermsster, Commissary
and Pension offices, the new depot, the
Age newspaper office, and many other
buildings, in all numbering more than forty,
and occupied as places of business by
more than one hundred persons and firms,
were burned. The banks succeeded in
saving all their papers and treasures. The
fire was undoubtedly the work of an incen-
diary. The losses cannot now be estimated,
but they cannot fall short Of half million
dollars.
