outs, and with all their efforts to attract attention
and gain favor-that in all human probability they
will remain with the outs-the veil is very thin

friendship are with the lone husband in all the
vicissitudes Of life. .sii

- Our London correspondent gives an account
in great detail Of the preparations Russia 10 making.
in view Of probable war with China, to strengthen
her position In the Pacific. Rumour varies from
month to month as to this threatened war. aud. for
our own part. we expect that matters will be settled
peacably. There can be very little doubt a. to the
result of such q war to the seaport towns and sea-
faring people of China, whatever fate the arms of
either combstsnt may meet with inland. The Ho
Chung will not long continue to make her trips

very boisterous weather shortly after leaving San
Francisco. We learn from a passenger, who was
an occupant of a berth on the upper deck. that a
heavy sea struck the vessel. and flooded his and
several other apartments, and also displaced a

tually secured. The gale was of short duration,
and the remainder OF the passage was pleasant and

she came in on Sunday, and left the same day at
8 p.m.. for Auckland, after the Decentralization OF
passengers. and the discharge OF their baggage
and the freight for Honolulu Wednesdoy Express
